ton proceedings and the proceedings
to open Bishop street, They are ex-
pected TO form in the clerks Office

ttthe decree will be entered in the Uni
ted States District Court confirming
+ the title to the Mahuka site in the
United States of America upon the
payment by the United States of the
money for the site to the persons and
in the proportions provided for in the
decree. This will settle the site ques-
ton.
Defaults were entered in the United
all the defendants in the site proceed
ings who have not answered. These
include most of the unknown owners,
unknown heirs, and the various I'M
knowns owners and claimants desig-
mated by colors. The order of default
was against the following:
Luukia Mahuka, John Doe and Mary
Stiles. unknown heirs at law of M. K.
Mahuka, deceased; Ernest Kaai, Rich
ard Roe and Martha Stiles, unknown
heirs at law of Simon K. Kaai, de-
ceased; Aletheia Emmeluth, wife of
John Emmeluth; Edwin NJ. Brewer,
Joseph Brewer; Walter c. Peacock;
Mary Alice Peacock, wife of Walter
C. Peacock; William H. Pease, Chris
topher H. Levers, Mary Levers, J. A.
Cummins, Kapeka Cummins, wife of
J. A. Cummins; John Brown, James
Black, Mary Purple and Jane Blue,
unknown owners and claimants.
According to the present understand
ing all parties in interest have come
to agreement and the decree in the two
cases will simply register that agree
ment.
In the proceedings to open Bishop
street to Merchant none of the re-
spondents have answered, but all have
their answers ready to file. The Bishop
Estate and the Henry Waterhouse
Trust Company ask nothing for their
interest in the land to be taken for
the street. Each Of the other owners
asks one dollar.
The decree in the condemnation pro-
ceedings will simply confirm the title
of the United States to the property
upon the payment of the sums desig-
mated in the decree.
