COD|C|L TO MRS.
NEUMANN' s WILL

The dispositions of Alfred Fowler and
Everild b. M. Durand, now the wife of
Selwyn Lucas Tooth, were received on
the Korea yesterday and filed in the
probate proceedings in the matter of
the estate of Elise S. v. Neumann. The
dispositions were taken before HER
Jacob, Lancaster Place, Strand, Lon
don, W. c., England.
These two were the witnesses to Mrs.
Neumann IS signature to codicil to
her will. The codicil is dated June %,
1905. and was executed in London. In
the attestation clause of the instrument
it is stated that it was "signed, sealed,
published and declared by the said
Elise S. V. Neumann, as and for a cod
icil to her last will and testament in
our presence, who at her request, in her
presence, and in the presence of each
other, have hereunto subscribed our
names as witnesses to the same''
Alfred Fowler deposes that this cor
rectly states the fact. Mrs. Lucas
Tooth, the other witness, makes slight
ly different statement. She says: 1t

but was brought by Mrs. Fowler from

signature to it. / knew it was Mrs.
Neumann IS handwriting because l had

attestation clause does not exactly re-
cite the facts, as Mrs. Neumann did not
exactly sign in my presence, nor did !
sign my name in her presence. / did
sign my name in the presence of Alfred
Fowler, but l can not remember
whether he signed his name in my
presence. Mrs. Neumann did not ac'
tually ask me to sign the instrument. u
Fowler deposes that Mrs. Neumann
was of sound and disposing mind "and
mentally competent to make last will
and testament and certainly understood
the nature of the business she had in
hand"
Mrs. LucasTooth on this point says:

OF LAFAYETTE

Judge s. b. Kingsbury is the proud

badge or charm and he wears il on his
watch chain. 1t is plain silver

Honolulu may soon have $l50,00o
Carnegie Library building.
Governor Frear had an interview
with the steel king and tariff buster in
New York yesterday which he thinks
was favorable to the proposition.
The Governor told about the inter
view in the following eablegram which
was received yesterday afternoon:
NEW YORK, December 29.-Mott-
Smith, Honolulu Favorable interview
Carnegie today. Go Washington to-
night. FREAR.
This interview with Carnegie which
may prove historic, is not an isolated
incident, but is one of chain of events
all having in common that they are
parts of an effort to secure for Honolu-
lu a public library worthy of the city.
The last legislature created an organi-
cation known as the Honolulu Public
Library, for which the Governor APP
pointed A. Gartley, w. L. Whitney, and
Walter F. Dillingham; trustees.
There has existed for many years in
Honolulu an institution known as the
Honolulu Library and Free Reading
Room Association. This institution has
library building, library of about
$4,000 volumes and invested funds OF
about $4,000. 1t was part of the
idea in establishing the new library
organization by the legislature that il
was possible it might be combined with
the existing Honolulu Library Associa
ton, and the scope of the combined in
stitution enlarged, its books greatly in
creased in number and its funds aug
mented The trustees of the new insti
tuition, while they have given goot
deal of thought to the subject, have
spent no money, nor incurred any OBJ
| legations, nor even made any PROPOSE
ton to the old library, as it has as ye'
nothing to offer in return.
One of its plans, however, was to SEE
if it could not secure suitable library
building. In this behalf considerable,
correspondence has been done. WheI

WILL OPEN THE CANAL
ON FIRST DAY OF 1o1s


Observation-Disclosures the date
when the Panama canal will be opened
has been fixed for January l, 1915, nc.
cording to letter received by the Cal
ifornia Promotion Committee pursuant
to the request for statement of the
situation made to Colonel George w.
Cocktails, chairman and chief engineer
of the isthmian canal commission.
Joseph Bucklin Bishop secretary of the
commission, writes:
"The date of canal completion will
depend on the length of time required
in building the Gatun dam and the
locks at Gatun, Pedro Miguel and Mira
flores. The chief engineer fixes as the
date when the canal will be opened to
traffic January, 1915. That is the date
fixed by those members of the inter
national board Of consulting engineers
who recommended the lock canal which
is now under construction. No other
date has ever been promised by the
canal commission.
"From time to time rumors are cir
culated to the effect that the four da-
tions of the Gatun dam and locks are
unsatisfactory. Those foundations are
known by means of borings and test
pits to be entirely satisfactory. De-
velopments since construction began
have confirmed fully the accuracy of
the preliminary Investigations. -

CASES OF THREE WHO APPEAL
ED FROM MAYORS SEN

the five alleged keepers of blind IL
gers who were arrested on Christ
mas eve day and heavily fined in

Leroy Jones, who conducts a negro

ley were continued until Monday

Cured in this view of the city at

lation of a city ordinance and is not

state law.
