MONEY WAITING
FOR A WOMAN
She Made 1t Possible for Others
to Get Theirs, Yet She
May Get Left.

The first application for deposits in
the old Hawaiian Postal Savings Bank
funds under the new law passed by
Congress at its last session, was re-
ceived yesterday by Governor Frear.
1t is from H. w. Matthews of Orange,
n. J., who asks for $176.25 deposited
by his son many years ago. The son
is now dead, and his father is entitled
to the money. Mr.. Matthews made
application a year or more ago, but at
that time he was told it would be nee
essary to take out administration on
the estate of his son, so that the money
could be paid to him as administrator.
This he has done.
1t is not necessary under the new
law that administration should be
taken out. In fact, to avoid the ne
cessity of that expense was one of the
reasons for the passage of the new
law.
There were three things aimed at in
the new law. One was to make the
withdrawal of these deposits by those
entitled to them as easy and inexpen-
sixe as possible by doing away with
the necessity for administration; sec
ond, to limit the time within which
withdrawals could be made, so as to
bring the fund to an end and close up
its accounts; and, third, to provide
that any unclaimed balance should be
applied to the payment of the public
debt of the Territory.
All applications for these deposits
must be made within two years from
the approval of the Act, that is, by
May, 1910. After that, whatever is
left will be turned into the treasury
for the payment of the Territorial
debt and the postal savings bank fund
will be extinguished forever.
About a year ago, soon after Gov
ernor Frear came into Office, woman
applied for a balance of deposit to
which she was entitled, but the only
way by which she could secure it then
was so cumbersome and expensive as
not to make it worth while to try. 1T
was this fact that called Governor
Frear's attention to the situation and
led him to draft and ask for the pas
sage of the present law in regard to
the matter Now that the law has
been passed, the Governor has made
efforts to find this woman in order
that she might get her money. But |
so far he has been unable to find her.
Emil Dreier Appeals.
Emil Dreier, son of the late August
Dreier, by his guardian ad litem, w.
A. Kinney, has given notice of appeal

day night with Henry Smith, clerk of
