"WeH now, if that amt surprising!'

sugar. Then while Jed is looking an
other way he'll drop the ant among

get Jed to throw in two OF three

QUEEN LII ATTEMPTS
TO BREAK. TRUST DEED
Trustees Will Contest Right of
Ex-Monarch to Property
Especial Correspondence of The Cali

loftSict SeiSsfOfs1~fa$S VI IT.
HONOLULU. Feb. 15.@The trustees
named IN the deed of trust made by
former. Queen Iiliuokalani have de-
cided TO contest any effort she may
make TO revoke the instrument. The
cause of the difficulty which prompted
the queen TO order a revocation of the
deed is laid to the door ofn Curtis
1aukea, secretary and a member of
the board. When the deed was made
"a fayorite of the queen was cut off
with a pension of $500 per annum.
while a reputed son of Liliuokalanis
late, husband was given $500 month.
The sighted one was Aea, son of
the queens former secretary and at
torney In fact. He complained of the
food allowance and was. treated dis
painfully by the secretary, so he
started for the coast, reaching there
in time 10 join the queen. He jour
neyed, with her TO Washington, and
after few weeks secured an order
for revocation of the deed Frank
Thompson, an attorney from Honolulu,
happened to be in Washingt and to
him the matter was turned over, with
the result that his partner here, on
cabled instructions, advertised notice
of the revocation of the trust.
The trustees say that it is irrevoc-
able and that they will fight the mat
ter in the local courts on the ground
that il is for the queens good that it
continue in force.
