About Selling Real Estate.

A NY piece of REAL ESTATE can be
~ sold at some price.
Every owner would like to sell for more
than he can get.
OF course, property is worth the most it
can be sold for.
Generally, property is sold for the most
to the person to whom it is the most useful.
The finding of that person is the import
ant desideratum, and the owner who wants
to sell cannot afford to make a mistake at
that critical junctuFe of his enterprise
The best "FINDER' of PURCHASERS

just ask one of the city councilmen
about some matter that is to come up

and you'll discover that, without ex-

HENRY ALONG GETS
BIG SUM Of MONEY

Mrs. Julia Along has relinquished
in favor of her son Henry Along all
her rights in $4,000 held in trust.
The money is the proceeds of the con-
Gemnation by the United States Gov
eminent of the Waikiki property
transferred by Chun Along to Will
liam f. Allen and afterwards trans
ferred to S. NJ Damon. Mrs. Along
had life interest in the money,
which was after her death TO go TO
Henry Along.
The $26,950 paid by the Federal
Government was invested in secured
notes by S. NJ. Damon, the trustee.
Two of the notes were those of the
John Mott-Smith estate, aggregating
100000, due next January. They
were secured by 1900 shares of Ha-
waiian Commercial stock. With the
exception of $3.50 which was loaned
to Susan d. Heapy on four shares OF
Waikiki Sugar Company stock, the
balance of the amount was taken up
by T. w. Rawlins ON a personal note
and on two joint notes with Marion
I,awlins, secured by mortgages.
Henry Along now gets the smaller
notes for his immediate ownership
The two Mott-Smith notes have been
placed in trust with the Bishop TRY I
Company for his benefit until he IL
so years old, when he becomes theii
owner absolutely.
Henry Along called at the Bulletin
office this forenoon and stated that
there is absolutely no foundation for
the statement of the morning paper
that the deed of transfer shuts out
his wife from the benefits of the
funds turned over to him. The deed
states that can will the property tC

PAIR OF HANDOUTS
cleanses.

Henry Pahia. son of Deputy Sheriff
Frank Paula OF Koolaupoko, was ar
iested yesterday by Deputy Attorney
General Whitney and Deputy High
Sheriff George Sea on warrant
charging him with assault and bat
terry with dangerous weapon. Pa
hia, 1t appears, nearly killed a part
Portuguese boy named John Faya,
Using pair of handouts as his
weapon.
According to the story told by Geo.
Sea, young Pahia was drunk at the
time. He and companion, also I'M
der the influence of liquor, started
quarrel outside the courthouse at
Kaneohe with an old man and were
: busing him badly when John Faya,
Il youth working for John Bell, inter-
fered and told them they ought not to
treat an old man so.
Pahia, who Is a special policeman,
rushed into the courthouse and came
out with a pair of heavy handouts.
He grabbed Faya and choked him and
then hit him over the head several
times with the handouts, inhictiug
several severe cuts on his head. Not
content with this, he threw Faya to
the ground and kicked him, breaking
two ribs.
Word was sent to Honolulu and
Whitney and Sea went down to in
vestigate. They found Faya lying on
an improvised pallet in the court
house in bad condition. His injuries
had been attended to by DR.. Pratt,
but he was in serious condition anG
It was feared for while that he
might die.
After investigation, his assailant
was arrested. Young Pahia, } the

II PLEASED THE JUDGE

BY the terms of the will which
was admitted for probate, the entire
estate was turned over to the Henry
Waterhouse Trust Company, Limited,
az Executor, to handle for the heirs.
In making the order of admission,
the Judge commented upon the wis
dom of such a course, and stated that
he hoped that such practice would
become common. The Trust Com
pany having large experience In es-
tate matters, and being familiar with
securities of all kinds, was in po-
sition to execute the provisions OF a
will more economically and advan-
togeously than private individual
could.
