REPUTED FORTUNE
NOT LOCATED
in CITY

The reputed fortune of the late
Blanche Martin, a notorious charac-
ter of the Iwilei district, has proved
without foundation in fact, say the at
torneys who are settling up her es-
tate The entire assets will amount
to little more than $500, while prom
issory notes and other debts will
leave scarcely more than enough to
pay the administrator fees.
The fortune that Dame Rumor said
would be found in lockbox No. 30S at
the Yokohama Specie bank did not
materialize upon investigation. When
the box was opened, in the presence
of several bank officials, it contained
only $40 in cash, gold watch, three
breast pins, some gold and pearl set
tings and a fire insurance policy on
the household goods.
The Lunding in which she lived was
not her property, and no deeds to any
other property were found; and no
will, making a disposition of the es-
tate was disclosed. Altogether the
cash in the woman's possession at the
time she died is found to have been
only about $3.50. Against this and the
furniture have appeared one or two
promissory notes, bill for $3.50 from
an attorney for services rendered be-
fore her death, and a few minor ac-
counts on which money is still ow-
ing. In addition, DIR. George F.
Straub holds a bill against her for
$3.50 for medical services.

Store TO
BE ELEGANT
AFFAIR

f. Dohrmann, Jr.. associated with
his father in ten crockery and china
stores on the Coast, and interested
in the w. w. Dimond & Company
firm of this city, arrived in. Honolulu
this week, confident of the success of
the projects planned by the local con-
Germ and in the growth of the city.
Having secured a lease of the en-
tire building formerly occupied by the
Advertiser, which will more than
double the space of the store, active
work has been started for the i'm
provements planned, under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Dohrmann.
When the renovation is completed
the Dimond store will have a seventy
five foot frontage on King street.
The Oriental store, which will be run
as an independent department of the
Dimond concern, will have frontage
on the alley, with a handsomely
finished opening.
The preparations for the large i'm
provements now being made were be-
gun last February, and March when
Mr. Dohrmann was here. 1t was
brought to the attention then that the
growth of the store, and the city, de-
manded that more store and sale
rooms be acquired.
The expansion will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000. There will
be special rooms for find china, glass
crystal and silver ware in the new
quarters.
Mr.. Dohrmann is confident that the
progress of the islands is assured,
and the question of the tariff does
not worry him.
1T will all come out right in the
end We can't stop Hawaii's growth, :"
he said.

OF
MAYOR MAY FILL
new POSITIONS

The opinion Of f. w. Milverten, first
deputy city and county attorney,
sustaining the appointments made by
Mayor Fern to the civil service com
mission was presented to the city s
chief executive today. The point had
been raised that sas both the proposed
members of the commission are legis-
lators their appointments were not
valid under the provision of the or
ganic act, which says:
"That no members of the legisla-
ture shall, during the term for which
he is elected, be appointed or elect
ed to any office of the territory Of
Hawaii"
In his opinion, Mr.. Milverton says:
ct will be seen that the disquali.
Ification contained in the organic act
relates only to the appointment or
election of a member of the legisla-
ture to an office of the territory, Act
81 of the session laws of 1913 being
an act entitled, AN Ace relating to
the civil service of the police and fire
departments of the city and county of
Honolulu by which the Honolulu
civil service commission is created.

hey general may give his opinion on
