divorce from Frank H. Rohde on the

HOOKING AND HIS
HONGKONG BREWERY

Information was received through an
officer of the steamship Hongkong Maru
that the Oriental Brewing Company of
Kowloon. China. largely owned by Ho-
nolulu stockholders, would distribute
it's first brew the early part of Sep
TENDER.
Manager Hooking, formerly of the
Honolulu Brewing & Mating Co., was
passenger on the Hongkong Maru
to Yokohama. and notified the ship g
officers that they could get the Oriental
brew in that month. Mr.. Hooking was
then arranging with the steamship
companies and other japanese corpora
tions to try the beer.
The brewery represents, it is said,
capital investment of about 100000.
The initiative for such brewery came
from those interested in the Honolulu
brewery, Mr.. Schweitzer, then the sec
rotary of the local concern, going to
the Far East to investigate prospective
trade conditions in Manila, Hongkong
and Shanghai. It was finally decided
to locate the brewery on Kowloon.

Judge De Bolt yesterday admitted to
probate the viii of the late August
Dreier. The probate of the will was
contested on the ground of undue influ-
ence to the detriment of the widow and
the son Emil, who is in a sanitarium for
the weak minded in California. The
objection to the probate of the win
came from w. A. Kinney, guardian tor
Emil. He was cut off with $3.50 a
month while his expenses at the SAINT
tafium are $40 month In deciding
the case Judge De Bolt said: fEThat
said alleged will was executed by him
august Dreier) on the 5th day of Nov
ember, 1907, in the presence of F. e.
Thompson, Chas. L. Seybolt and Chas.
Clemens as subscribing witnesses; that
said testator at the time of the execu-
ton of the said will was of sound and
disposing mind, and was competent to
make will, and that said will was
duly executed as required by law
It is now probable that the issue or
whether or not the will is a valid one
will be brought before Jury.
The widow, Mrs. Emma Dreier, yes
terday fled her election to take her
dover interest in the estate rather than
the provision made for her in the will.
