mo ROMANCE IN
BISHOP ESTATE
To institute Prosaic Action In the
Land Court Where Fire. :
works Are Out Of Place

No injunction proceedings are to In
terrupt the even Aow Of business on
: the Gore lot, where the Princess The
resa is holding down her claim by the
main force of her continuous presence e,
night and day. Instead of the strenu-
Gus proceedings of ousting the daugh.
ter Of a long and iIlnstrious line OF
alis, the Bishop Estate is prosaically
instituting action in the court of land
registration, being ready to file a pc
tition for registered title to the prop,
erty which the princess this very min
ute honors by her royal presence.
Princess Theresa Belleyeau cares not
a whoop what action the Bishop Estate
intends % take, resting secure in the
knowledge that she has every right not
only 10 be where she is but to stay
there indefinitely.
Just How Things Stand
at is like this" she explains.
Governor Kekuanaoa, in 1912, made
deed of gift Of the property to Jose
Nadal, one condition Of which was that
the giftee or his heirs "canhot sell to
no baole.'' Nadal married the mater.
nal aunt Of the princess, and, beyond
the necessity of buying off Kaleima
no g claim, there is none, in the OPin-
ion Of the princess, TO dispute her title
as her aunt's heir.
This deed upon which the Princess
tests her Gaze, should be able to inter
est any land courtA she believes. 1t
reads:
az, MataiO Kekuanaoa, governor of
Oahu. sa
''This Is our agreement decide
tween Jose Nadal and myself. l here
by give my house and lot to Jose Ma
do Tnd that he must be under me.
"He must live on the land. He must
not sell any liquor. on the premises
only as such things as the law permits.
He must collect. .r-.
"This is the manner of our agree
ment deed:
"First-Tf he dies and have no child
and wife then the said land shall re-
vert back to me--Mataio Kekuanaoa.
'If he has a wife and has a child by
o woman of the soil (Hawaiian) then
Jose Nadal is instructed TO make
deed of this property to his child.
eff he has no child and only a wife
then she shall become the heir of this
property but she cannot sell to no
haole. but she can lease II.
"TherefoIe we both sign our respec-
tive names herein below this 3rd day
of January, 1912"
Ancestral Line Imposing
This document, however, does not
constitute all of the Prineess's reser-
yes for should this line fail, she may
always fall back on an illustrious line
of ancestors. Her friends have worked
her geneology out for The Advertiser
and one has only to look at it to see
how iIlustrious those ancestors were.
According to the Hawaiian style, dates
are missing, time being of no account.
The Princess family tree also shell
tiers Prince Kuhio. She comes from the
royal house of Keouas, the father OF
the Kamehamehas and she is conse-
quently related to Prince Kuhio on her
fathers side. II is even better on her
mothers side, and must be set out in
full.
The mothers side is something like
this: Lonoikamakahiki (k), married to
Kaikilani Aliiwahine Puma, begot
Kaihikapumahana; Kaihikapumahana,
married to ALA begot Kanoloaaila,
Kauakahioliikapo, begot Kulu-
ohi. he2ot Holani Holani married Ke-
lauIike king of Maui, bePot Kaeoma
nuhaa'po IVY, Palekaluhi his mother
and Ruth Kaeo, the youngest married
to Kamakahelei begot Kaumualii; She
married TO Puaamohu begot KiBoiki,
mother to Kapiolani, and her sister XII
noiki to Halepouii begot David AMI
Cupid and on the same line is prineess
Theresa Wilcox and her aunt's line.
With this ancestry behind her, Prin-
cess Theresa defies everybody.
