CHARGED WITH DOING
UP HIS P RTN:RS IN LAND HUI

Trouble has arisen over the lease
of the government grazing lands at
Ulapae and has found it's way into
the courts by bill to declare trust,
filed today by ]. ]. kappa and others
against Charles Kaanoi and Joshua
Tucker, commissioner of public lands.
The petitioners declare that they
together with Kaanoi, formed a hui,
known as Hui Alma, to obtain lease
of the government lands at Ulapae.
Among them the others raised the
sum of $156.1O and sent it to Kaanoi
at Honolulu, on his representations
that he could obtain the lease. Kaanoi
used the money and did obtain the
lease, telling his associates that he
had had it issued in his name as trus
tee.
Later, however, he became at odds
with the other members of the hu
and informed them that he had OBJ

Yesterday afternoon about o'clock
Mrs. Kealaha Luka, while standing on
River street above Kukui discoursing
on the sermon which she had just
heard, with her daughter, was accost-

vulgar language in the presence of

He was warned to beat it but per

head, receiving an injury to the righ

tained the lease in his own name and
that they were using the land only
at his pleasure.
Since that time, the complainants
declare, Kaanoi has organized an
other hui, to whom he pretends to have
transferred all his rights as lessee.
The new hui has demanded of the
Hui Alma the surrender of the land,
has moved its own stock upon the
land and has threatened to impound
and destroy the stock of the plain
tiffs.
The complainants ask that an order
to the respondents be issued to show
cause why the relief prayed for
should not be granted and that the
lease be reformed and that Kaanoi be
declared the trustee of the hui 1t is
further asked that an injunction be
issued restraining Kaanoi from mo

were potted especially for use in tene-

on the day the things were to be given

Will Discuss
kapaa Lands

There will be a meeting of the
land board this afternoon at $3.50
o'clock, and at it the matter of the
Kapaa pineapple lands will be dis
cussed. The land that the cannery
company wants to get, in order to
insure a sufficient quantity of pines
for canning, will be brought up for
discussion, and some decision may
be come to regarding the leasing of
the northumberland tract.
Other matters that will receive at
tention will be the homestead lots at
Aiea. These, though small, are de-
clared to be excellent for pineapple
growing, and the lucky men who draw
lots at the ballot can take two ad-
joining homesteads if they wish
There are some other matters q
come up at the meeting this after
noon, but the greatest interest will
be centered in the Kapaa land propo
sition.

FLEET Will
SAIL THIS
AFTERNOON

The cruisers California, Colorado
and South Dakota are lying low in
their slips this morning with the
weight of the water and coal that has
been loaded into them since their re-
turn from the practice outside and,
except for the rounding up of strag-
glers, all is in readiness for the trip

Switzerland this morning, "and we

o'clock in getting out of the harbor.

form and l am inclined to look upon
this as routine matter"
When questioned about the rum
ored coming of the Pennsylvania and
Maryland he said:

join us in the Philippines. We heard
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-03-18

and said that the letter itself would
be the best evidence. Breckons
thereupon promised to see whether
or not he could obtain the letter. The
letter has been found and will "
doubtedly be introduced IN evidenc
this afternoon, if not by counsel for
the respondents, then by Breckons
himself It's introduction will very
probably result in Governor Frear be
ing called as witness to testify as
to its receipt and the request of tn,
tax assessor to ascertain the value
of the property.
In view of the new evidence which
has thus arisen, it is hardly probable
that the Mahuka site case will go to
argument tomorrow, as it is under
stood that the government has one c
two other witnesses who are still t.
testify.

huka site came up, he personally
went over the property with a view
to estimating it's value. The figure
given above is that at which he then
arrived as the proper value of the
Cummins property
Mr.. Wilder also stated that, when
the agitation for the acquisition of
the entire block arose, he was re-
quested by Governor Frear to esti-
mate the probable cost of acquiring
the block. He figured the value OF
the property and then added 80 per
cent to it, the total figure thus ar
rived at being S315,OOO, the amount
which the Delegate afterward asked
Congress to appropriate. The as
essor stated that he had conveyed the
information to Governor Frear in a
letter.
Counsel objected to this statement

his way back to Hankow, where he

APPEAL FILED IN
WILSON MATTER

Deputy Attorney General Sutton has
filed his brief in the belt road case,
and the point most emphasized by him
is that the public must be protected
and not the bidders on contracts.
The brief was written in the matter
of an appeal taken by the loan fund
commission and the Lord-Young Com
pany, against a judgment rendered in
favor of John A. Wilson by Judge
Whitney.
The deputy attorney general has
filed very long brief on the matter
and is ready to argue on it as soon
as the appeal may come up.
