Ne " DE LAVEAGA
CONTEST STARTED
Two Petitions for Letters Of
Administration of Famous
Estate Filed
Maria Joscfa Ccbrian Would
Have Brother Deposed
as Administrator

Two petitions for letters of adminis-
tration of the estate of the late Maria
Conception de Laveaga were presented
yesterday before Judge corey. who
several years ago, u a famous contest
held the will of Miss de Laveaga to be
invalid.
The petitions will be argued before
the court next Wednesday by several
Of the lawyers who figured in the hear
ings upon the disputed will.
One petition is brief page by Mig
ueI Al. de Laveaga brother who for
20 years managed her estates in Mex
leo and California. The other. q
lengthy one that rehearses much Of the
contentious that marked her contest of
the will. Is filed by Maria Josefa Ce-
brian, sister OF Miss de Laveaga-
Judge Coffey's decision declaring the
will invalid, having been sustained by
the supreme court, each OF the petit
tioners now seeks to administer the
estate and the attempt is said to fore-
shadow fully as bitter fight for the
control of the estate as that which
marked the contest over the will!
Miss de Laveaga died In Madrid
Spain, February IS, 1893. leaving an
estate valued at $2.600,000.
Miguel de Laveaga already has OBJ
tanned special letters of administration
and. in her petition, Mrs. Cebrian asked
that he be deposed and that she be
appointed administrative.
Mrs. Cebrian charges that her brother
declared Miss de L.aveaga to have been
incompetent, although he managed her
affairs during her lifetime and permit
ted her to have directing powers
which, she contends, should not have
been allowed to an incompetent.
Another charge OF Mrs. Cebrian's Is
that Attorney j. " de Lavea ga, son
of Miguel persuaded Miss de Laveaga
to sign the $1.00O.00O bond of the late
E. J. lie Breton when he became re-
ceiver for the California Safe Deposit
and Trust company. She contends that
IL Miss de Laveaga was competent TO
sign such bond she was competent
to make a will.
Miguel de Laveaga is represented by
the law firm of -Pillsbury, Madison and
Sutro. and Mrs. Cebrian by Attorneys
Timothy G. Lyons, Peter F. Dunno and
Samuel NJ. Shortridge. all OF whom
were in court.
Mrs. cebrian is living at 1901 oc-
tavia street.

Honolulu, nov. 8, 19l3.

Honolulu, Nov. 8, 1913. :
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin, y
Sir:-ln SATURDAYS paper under the
caption, FIRE. Trade-Higher Prices"
YOU quote an announcement from q
mainland leather betting company adj
vising of q. raise Of per cent in their
prices, In spite of the fact that we
have free hides, and you ask that the
ADVOCATES OF ''frea spgar' think It
over.
The reason given in the announce
ment for the advance in prices is chat
foreign tanners and hide dealers,
tearing that AmericaSwas about to de-
plete their hide markets, bought up
everything in sight and contracted for
futures at prices they never dreamed
OF paying before" II Is q wonder 10
me that these foreign tanners did not
buy up the American output of hides
before the tariff on hides was abolish
ed. Is II possible that the American
hide dealers would refuse to sell to
foreigners? Would they be 90 unpa-
triotic ais to refuse to take part in our
favorable foreign trade balances?
Why did not the American hide deal
ers get ahead of the foreigners and
buy the worlds output first and beat
them to It? Is it possible that the
same combination adf foreigners have
been playing the same game on free
trade England since 1876 and the
American dealers have not heard of it
until the announcements? Or, are
our eprotectionistsg so much in favor
of "protectiono that they would see
an American industry depleted in or

raised? Is It possible that sEuropean

beat the most prosperous people in the
