PLACED HIS BAN ON EVILS
Indulgence in Smoking and Liquor
Means Forfeit by Heirs Of Share
In Rich Estate.

BLOOMINGTON, Ill.-Before Mora ana
Leita Murdoch. and their brother Max,
children of the late ]. T. MURDOCH OF
La Sale county, can benent unoef
their fathers will, they must appear
before the probate court and take
solemn oath that they have not
smoked or chewed tobacco nor parta-
ken of intoxicating liquors for two
years previously.
The last will and testament of the
dead millionaire is unique in the an
nails Of the probate courts or centrai
Illinois. While the testator was
known to be total abstainer himself.
ne was never intolerant in his refer
ence to others who might drink or
smoke, and the will just placed on
record by the administrator was
great surprise to his family and
friends.
To guard against a false aihdaVlt,
Mr.. Murdoch provided that in tfe
event such deceit was yesorted TO-
that protest made by any person ac'
quainted with the facts must be given
consideration by the court. Should
the accusation be substantiated, the
person who made the false affidavit
must forfeit all share in the estate.
The heirs are given life interest in
the property, and the will provides
that the anti-tobacco and anti-liquor
stipulations are also binding upon
their children and grandchildren.
The will bequeaths the personal
property to the widow and divides the
real estate equally between the two
daughters and son. All three children
are grown and prominent in society
| circles. The trio say that there will
| be no danger of any forfeit of their
! share in the estate, as all are opposed
to the use of tobacco and intoxicants
The clause of the will relating tC
tobacco and liquor reads as follows:
1T has been my aim and ambition
during the whole time 1 have been &C
quiring and saving the property here
in devised, 20 leave the same for the
| improvement of the minds, and not fol
the debasement of the bodies OF those
who may come into it's possession. IL
that end, after due elaboration, it II
my will, and l do hereby especial!
provide, that no one who uses tobacco
by smoking or chewing, or shall be IL
the habit of using intoxicating liQuo
as a beverage, shall have any shar
in the property or income thereof de
; vised by me. Before anyone shall TAX
!, any benefit or any property be
queathed or devised by me, such one
my wife excepted, shall file in tn
court where this will may be admitte
, to probate, his or her affidavit, an
such other additional proof as may b
) required to convince the court Of tn
truth of such affidavit, that he or sh
, has not used tobacco, for smoking o
chewing, nor has been in the habit G
, getting intoxicated or of using into1
icating liquors as a beverage durin
the full period of the two years imm'
diately prior to the time such affidavi
shall be filed"

GUESTS OF LOCAL COLONY

Honolulu's Germany residents were
hosts to the war-bound naval seamen
and merchant marine-men of interned
German vessels at a monster enter
tainment and Christians celebration
held in the Phoenix lodge rooms at
Fort and sBeretania streets last night.
The entire crew of the Geier, in
termed for the remainder of the war,
as well as. the crews of German mer-
chant marines taking refuge in this
harbor, were Toasted on Honolulu's
best. Every sailor present was
awarded remembrance of Honolulu
and Christmas, each offering bearing
the Hawaiian coatof.arms.
The big hall was decorated for the
occasion, the stars and stripes being
entwined with the German double
eagle and the old Hawaiian monarchy
flag. Georg Rodiek, the local German
consul, made a short address and
opened the celebration. He propos-
ed a toast to the kaiser, which was
responded to and followed by the CIV
ing of three rousing cheers for the
emperor of Germany.
Captain Rashoff of the Geier re-
sponded and thanked the Honolulu
Germans for their hospitality in as
Gembling there to entertain the

HlGHERYIlBlRD
is HIS DESIRE
H kANEHlNfHA

Charles King, former school inspec-
tor and an alumnus OF !Kamehameha
schools, said in a recent alumni ban
quet talk that the standard of the
schools should be raised.
81 have no criticism to make of the
present regime, for Principal Web
ster has just come, but l hope the
standard will be raised so that grad
yates will rank at least with those of
Punahou and Mckinley high school"
reiterated King this morning.
1.-The alumni feel that though a
splendid plant has been furnished, the
pupils are not graduated at high
enough standard, and their experience
is that when they come in competition
with Punahou and Mckinley high and
other graduates in business or other
life, they cannot compete on equal
terms. In former days Kamehameha's
standard was higher than it is today"
King urges that the requisites for
graduation be made higher, the
courses heightened and more eftici-
ency be introduced in the teaching
system.

SYNOPSIS

Apparently by mistake Philip Vantlne
receives an antique Bouie cabinet from
Paris. A strange Frenchman is mYsterl-
ously killed near it.
Poison inserted through two wounds or
. his hand is the cause OF death. Fantlne
friends, Lester and Godfrey. a reporter
! are greatly interested.
vantine himself is killed in the same
mysterious manner while or shortly after
examining the Boule cabinet.
Rogers, O. servant, accuses a woman who
visits Vantine of Vantine'S murder. Rog-
ers acts suspiciously.
With the aid of Parks, Vantine's valet
Lester makes plans to carefully guard
the Boule abine from ~marauders.
Godfrey and Lester conclude that the
cabinet has a secret drawer guarded by a
mechanism which stabs and poisons.
While Godfrey vainly searches for the
drawer with a steel gauntlet on his hand
Lester sees two burning eyes watching
them through a shutter.
Lawyer Hornblower, representing Mime
X" asks Lester for Il packet of her let
tiers hidden in the Boule cabinet. which
has been stolen from her.
She calls upon Lester, says there is nc
deadly mechanism in the cabinet and gets
her letters from a secret drawer.

how to open the secret drawer and knew

the letters for blackmail purposes.
