.SHOULDDISMISS
ACHONH QUEEN
IS PROVED Sane
This is Contention of LiIiuoka-
Iani in Protest" Filed in 1
Court Today

Unless Queen sLiliuokalani is proved
to be insane and mentally incompe,
tent, and thereby not capable of pro-
feotinx her interests, her motion TO
dismiss the suit brought by Delegate
Kuhio against the trustees of the Lii.
uokalani Trust should be granted.
This is the contention Of the queen
in an objection and Protest" filed in
Circuit Judge Stuart's court today by
Judge Antonio Perry, counsel for Lii.
uokalani. The objection and protest
is based on three separate grounds,
the point objected to being "the con.
sideration by this court of the merits
of this suit and of any demurrers, an.
swers Or other pleadings from the re-
.spondents i. and to this courts re-
ceiving or requiring any answer or
pleadings from the respondents +.
until after determination OF the mo-
tion to dismiss heretofore fled"
The flrst ground of the protest Is
that the queen is of sound mind and
suit fled by kuhio as her next
friend" and that she is entitled of
right to have the suit dismissed.
1t is further alleged that the court
is without any further steps in the
case other than to declare II discon-
tinued, unless the queens sanity and
mental competency to dismiss the
matter is challenged But thus far,
the protest continues, the queens san
ity and mental competency to discon.
tinue the suit has not been challenged,
and the legal presumptions remains
that Liliuokalani is sane.
At o'clock next Monday afternoon
Judge Stuart will set a date for the
taking of evidence as to the queens
sanity and mental competency. AS to
how the court will proceed in the hear.
ing also will be determined at this
time. The respondents have been
granted an additional 10 days to plead
to the petition filed by the delegate.
