Represent Queen In Action
Filed BY Kuhio
JUDGE PERRY ENTERS HIS
APPEARANCE As ATTORNEY
Probability Present Action, Like
Former One, Will Be Discon.-
tinued In Short Time

Queen Liliuokalani will oppose the
| suit Instituted in her name, in the cir
| cult court here on November 80, last,
| by delegates J. K. Kalanianaole, as
her next friend and in his name, TO
break the trust in which the queens
property is held. In other words, Queen
Liliuokalani wishes the trust to con.
| tinue.
This was learned yesterday definite,
~ from an authoritative source and
bears out abundantly statements which
appeared in The Advertiser, following
the fling of the suit, made by Curtis
P. .Iaukea, one of the trustees of the
queens estate, and John AimOku
Dominis, that Hawaii's former ruler
| did not look with favor ON the bill in
equity instituted by Kuhio supposedly
in her behalf. 1t is a coincidence to
be taken into consideration that Krhio
| fled his action on the eve of leaving
Honolulu for Washington.
Special Counsel for Queen
While the trustees of the estate,
Curtis p. Iaukea William o. Smith and
Samuel M. Damon, will oppose the ac-
ton brought by Kuhio and be repro
scented in court by their own counsel,
Queen Lilioukania has retained special
counsel to appear for her.
Antonio Perry, former associate
justice of the territorial supreme court,
will represent the queen and for this
purpose yesterday filed in the court of
the clerk of the circuit court a notice
of appearance of Attorney which
reads as follows:
"Now comes Antonio Perry, a mem.
| Der of the bar of this court, and says
that he has been authorized and re-
quested by Her Majesty Liluo-
kalani, former Queen of Hawaii, to act
for her as her attorney in the above
entitled suit and in all matters in con
nection Herewith; and he hereby enters
this his appearance as such Attorney
Judge Perry Non Committal
When seen yesterday Judge Perry
would not say anything further than
that he would represent. the queen in
| the trust breaking suit, 1t was not the
proper time, he claimed, to make any
statement for publication. The infOr
nation that the queen would herself
oppose the suit brought in her name
was secured from a source which is con
Sidered authoritative.
tees, are many. A few days ago they
were given, under a stipulation fled in
court, until January 10, next, in which
to answer, demur or plead to the com
plant. The answer, which will be a
voluminOus one, is now in course of
preparation, but it is expected that
dcmurrers will be interposed. Some Of
the respondents, among the more prom.

suit will never 90 to trial and that,
like a similar one Instituted in 1910,
the present action will be disc ontiuued
rs soon as those behind the present
movement become convinced that the
queen is, in reality, opposed to having
her trust deed set aside.
