LUKA PAALUHI, SEVENTY YEARS
OF AGE, SUES HER AGED HUS-
BAND FOR DIVORCE.

Luka Paaluhi, a native Hawaiian
woman over 70 years Of age, is named
as libellant in divorce suit institut-
ed against her ancient spouse, who is
said to be past rs.
The bill was filed in the Circuit
Court yesterday and is an extraordi-
nary document in many of its allega-
cations. The complaint says that she
was married to John Paaluhi about
twenty-six years ago, and that during
a good deal of the time her husband
has made their home a sort of harem
in which she was obliged to share
his affections with different other wo-
men. She mentions one Kealiiwaha'
nullu, now deceased, and one Ana Ma
liza, a negress, who at present is
sharing the home.
The bill further states that al
though her own money was used to
build the home they have occupied,
the defendant has recently allowed
the younger woman to drive her out.
The husband, she says has an income
from rented property of $457 per year
besides being still able to work, and
she asks for alimony of $50 per month
and attorneys fees.
