succeed Robert W. Breckons is ex-
pected this week. Atorney-general

KikaIaeka, Believed To Be Old
est Man in Islands, Worked
on Fish Pond in 1905

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence
HILO, Hawaii, May 26.-Believed
to have been the oldest man in the
Hawaiian Islands, Kikalaeka, father
of Reverend 8. T. Timoteo, of Ma
poopoo, Kona, was found dead in his
bed yesterday morning. He retired
Saturday might without making any
complaint of feeling III and is sup
posed he expired while asleep.
That ne was fully 10S years Of age
Is the claim of those competent to
know, Reverend Desha stating that
he has often talked to the old man
who professed knowledge that his
father was among those called by
King Kamehameha to work on the
great Kiholo fish pond in North Kona
in 1905, the pond afterward being de-
stroyed by the lava flow of 1869.
Kikalaeka, had distinct recoIlections
of hearing his father tell of this work
and of the coming of Captain Cook to
the islands and how the natives car
ried food out to the ship of the white
men.
When the missionaries first came
to the islands Kikalaeka was full
grown man and married living in
kohala. He was among the first to
learn to read and has ever since been
a diligent student of the bible and up
to ten years ago was an active work
er in all church matters, his excep-
tional intelligence usually making
him choice as delegate to church
conventions. But in the political life
and uprisings of the islands, he took
little interest, devoting his time to
farming and bible study.
In spite of his great age the Ha-
waiian retained his reason and most
remarkable of all was able to read
without the aid of glasses, only his
badness in anyway showing the num-
Der Of years he had lived. His face
was particularly free of wrinkles
Desha says that he was one of the
finest specimens, physically, of the
old type of Hawaiian, ever his pleas
ure to see. $50 finely was he formed
he was actually handsome" he says
The old man was over six feet in
height and very slightly stopped.
Kikalaeka was believed to have
been few years oIden than KeeIe-
makulu. 'the old man." who died at
about the age of los years in April
at Waiakea.

no definite news was received today
from Washington. A private cable

and has even offered to give up some
