SUIT AFFECTS
MANY TITLES
Action Brought by NahaoleIua
Against Heen May Worry
Some.

Suit was entered yesterday in the
clerk IS Office Of the circuit court by
Henry st. John Nahaolelua and his
brothers and sisters against the well
known rice planter and merchant, IL.
A. Heen, of this city, father Of William
H. Heen, the lawyer, Of Hilo. The
action is one for quieting the title to
piece of land purchased by the senior
Heen, situated in Kauluwela, near St.
Louis School premises. To the casual
observer the institution of this case
reveals nothing of interest; it neverthe,
less relates to much that is now unwrit-
ten history with little romance on the
side.
AS the land was originally large
tract, now cut up into many homes,
owned, leased and subleased, il is esti-
mated that at least dozen other own
ers titles will be affected.
Thompson, Clemens 4 Wilder are the
lawyers for the Nahaoleluas, and as
many owners and tenants will be in
volved, there will no doubt be "a large
number of other attorneys arrayed
against this firm. Many thousand dol.
lars worth of property, certainly, will
be involved, not less than $4,000
worth, it is estimated.
Elizabeth st. John was the maiden
name of the mother of the plaintiffs,
She being beneficiary of the late
Queen Emma, was put in the care and
tutorship of Mr.. and Mrs. Mason, who
conducted a school in PauOa Valley,
now known'as the Booth promises Here
is where Elizabeth was married in 1871.
| Governor Nahaolelua of Maui had an
adopted son, Kia Nahaolelua, of Lahai-
ma, where he was holding office as sec.
rotary to his father, but Kia came to
Honolulu to get his bride. Just before
the marriage, it appears, there was
deed of trust (it may be construed as
marriage settlement paper) signed by
the contracting parties and handed to
A. s. Cleghorn, then the guardian OF
Elizabeth, and p. NahaOlelua, father
of the bridegroom, which covered the
tract of land in question
After the married couple had chill.
dren and were in great need Of money,
it seems to have been assumed that
there was no more trust and the late
A. j. Cartwright, then the business
agent of the Nahaoleluas, raised money
by mortgaging some parts of the land,
and selling other parts, until finally the
whole tract was sold out
In all probability the agent, Mr.,
Cartwright, was fortified in all of his
dealings, but whatever authority there
was in him, was never placed on record,
and thereby hangs tale untold which
may yet come to light, in order to pro-
teet the many purchasers of the land.

DOCTOR S VERDICT.
ON LIQUORS USE
Drink, Drunkenness, Misery and
Death Logic of Liquor
Among Hawaiians.

81 have no hesitation in saying that
the greater part of misery and illness
among the Hawaiians is due to the
abuse of liquor and that the decrease
of the Hawaiian race is traeealble to
that source alone.
This verdict on the effect Of liquor
among the Hawaiians was rendered yes
terday by DIR. A. Mouritg, qualified to
speak by INVENTIVE years Of medical
experience among the Hawaiians in
these Islands.
"The easier the facilities for drink
ing the more drunkenness there will
be, y said Doctor Mouritz, al may not
believe in prohibition but there should
be a five times stricter regulation
of the liquor traffic in the Islands and
lacking that can only hope that prohi-
bition will be passed.
"The saloon men say that if we take
the liquor from the HawRiians, they will
manufacture their own okolehao and
swipes. Well, let them 1t is not as
bad as the majority of the cheap liq-
uors that are sold daily in our stores
and at least does not cost them any
thing-does not rob the women and
children of their food.
elm an evil moment I signed a petit.
ton for a<saloon license to he located
at Pukoo, Molokai. Within two months
made up my mind had made a most
disastrous mistake. Not only did an
epidemic of drunkenness affect the
men and women, but even the young
boys and girls. / signed the petition
under the belief that the saloon would
stop illicit distilling, but whereas before
there had been drinking but hardly
ever drunkenness, / found men and
women drunk in the bitches after the
saloon entered"
1t might be added that Doctor Mouritz
afterwards fought the saloon which he
had previously agreed to, and after wit
Messing its effects succeeded in having
it closed down in spite of the strong
opposition of the whisky ring.
Alcohol, as a rule, lowers the vital
ity, and any disease will enter the body
as soon as resistance ceases. OF course,
| tuberculosis is the first to enter and
seize upon the lungs.
"I have been accused right here in
this Office by people who have said,
You doctors make more drunkenness
than anybody else.'
81 replied that my Conscience was
clear. 1 don 7. prescribe alcohol. My
own liquor bill for the last FIVE years
has been twenty-five cents, and didn u
consume what that purchased.
Doctor Mouritz' accounts of his ac-
tual experience with the drink evil line
up with the other sordid tales that have
been repeated so often that those op-
posed to prohibition mock at them as
stock and manufactured stories. He
states that the children come to him on
Sundays and Mondays, telling him that
their father is sick and has pains in his
stomach. He goes to them and finds il
drink, the man having placed his week ,:
salary, in the form of the cheapest and
worst of liquors inside, him.
This means that the wife and chill
dren go hungry, and it means in most
cases, says Doctor Mouritz, that the
husband is laid up for week and
unable to work, and the whole means
poverty. That is the logic that car
only be answered by disregard of the
facts.

GOLBURN NOT
ON WAY EAST
In San Francisco Under Sealed
orders"-Will Return on
Mongolia.

Yesterday an authoritative denial was
given to the report that John f. Col
burn was on his way to Washington to
induce Delegate Kuhio to abandon his
idea Of coming to Hawaii as soon as
possible to stump for prohibition. The
report has been in circulation for some
days aud the publication of the rumor
in The Advertiser yesterday brought
out for the first time the reason for Mr..
Colburn's mysterious absence.
"CoIburn has not gone to Washing
ton and he is not in any way the agent
of the liquor men, said E. A. G. Long,
yesterday. "I am representing Colburn
in Honolulu at present. hold his pow.
err of attorney as agent for the Kapio-
lani Estate, and am in communication
with both him and Kuhio. If Colburn
had gone to Washington, certainly
would know about it.
"Colburn left on an important mis-.
sion, sailing for San Francisco under
sealed orders. That is all L can say
about it, except that received cable
gram from him on Monday, stating that
he would be back on the Mongolia.
"What Cupid's plans may be, 1 dc
not know definitely, but / received a
letter from him very recently and in il
he spoke Of soon returning to Honolulu
/ expect him back just as soon as con
gress adjourns."
Colburn on Business Trip.
E. D. Tenney, of Castle & Cooke, stat
ed yesterday that Mr.. Colburn had gone
to San Francisco on business trip, q
deal in which he (Mr. Tenney) is in
terested.
"I know nothing about any trip he
is supposed to be taking to Washing
tons said Mr. Tenney, "but 1 do know
that he is in San Francisco for me and
will be back before the end of the
month, -
Democrats Call Kuhio Dead One.
The Democratic leaders are chucklinl
among themselves at what they consider
