king TO APPEAL
FROM DECISION
OF HIGH court
Justices Hold Williamson Was
Rightly Named Trustee
of Bishop Estate

An appeal to the court of appeals
of the ninth circuit will be taken from
the decision handed down blythe SUI
preme court Thursday afternoon re-
versing Judge Ashford's decree APP
pointing Charles f. King a trustee of
the b. P. Bishop estate TO succeed 5.
NJ. Damon, resigned.
Attorney E. c. Peters, counsel for
King and the Kamehameha Alumni
Association. made this announcement
today He added that the alumni
association has sufficient funds to
meet the expenses of1the appeal, the
money having been raised by special
subscription.
In reversing Judge Ashford's decree,
justices of the supreme court hold
that their action as individuals, as
distinguished from judicial act,
made William Williamson the trustee
TO succeed Damon, and that Judge
Ashford's duty in the matter would
have been to fix and approve the bond
of the new trustee. The attorneys for
the trustees maintain that William
son and not King is now trustee.
The following excerpts from the SUI
preme court decision give the reasons
of the justices for reversing Judge
Ashford's decree:
Improper Action" Cited ~
THE delay and confusion that has
arisen in the matter before US is
largely due to the improper action of
the trustees under the will Of the
testatrix in petitioning the first. cir:
cuit Judge, sitting at chambers in
equity, to confirm the appointment of
William Williamson as trustee.
The will (of the late Mrs. B. P.
Bishop does not provide that the
choice or appointment made by the
justices of this court should be sub
ject to the approval or consent of any
other officers or tribunal
The only proper action to the cir
cult judge would be one asking that
he name the amount of the bond to
be given by the appointee and approve
the same when given.
The learned circuit Judge took the
view that the word choice in the pro-
vision of the will Of the testatrix un-
der consideration is synonymous with
and means nominate and does not
uiCoA dppOlHLp anu NC iuCIClOIC CUM
cludes that the power of rejecting or
approving nomination made by the
Justices, or q majority Of the Justices,
rests with him. With this view coun-
sci for Charles E., King does not con-
cur and with such view we
fully agree. e.
Justices Must Determine ~ rae
THE fitness OF the trustee appointed
is not matter for the circuit judge
to determine, but the power and re-
of so doing are vested by
the testatrix in the justices Of this
court .. II the authority to
fiji such vacancies had been delegated
to the police magistrate of Honolulu,
II would be evident that it was not in
the mind OF the testatrix that the par
ticular judge or court exercising
equity jurisdiction In other matters
the trust should also have
power to fill vacancies in the office
Of trustee under the will.
THE naked power of appointing in
succession the. trustees of the trust
Is not of itself a judicial function, but
. power which may be vested by the
grantor of trust"

Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels. get sluggish and clog ged and need a flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region. severe headaches rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region. get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here, take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neutraliZes the acids in the urine so it no longer iTritates. thus ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is harmless; inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water which everybody should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean thus avoiding serious compli- cations.

Kills Catarrh Germs
Breathe Hyomei-A Remedy Ere
 From Harmful Drugs.
soId Under Druggists Guarantee

Catarrh is an inflammation of the charge.
 The inflammation is caused, some physicians say. by the pernicious ac- tivity of little germs or microbes that lodge in the folds and crevices of the mucous membrane.
 Catarrh can be ended by killing these germs. Medicines taken into the stomach may act on the blood and tone up the system. but it is not believed that they can destroy catarrh germs. Sprays and touches are good as far as they go. but they do not go far enough. No liquid can reach the low CT throat or lungs, neither can a liquid penerate into the folds and creVices of the membrane, where germs secrete themselves.
 The germs can be reached by HY- OMEI, a soothing antiseptic which you breathe into the lungs. HYOMEI. breathed through the in- haler that is in each outfit or as d vapor acts quickly; the soothing effects are soon noticed. l. HYOMEI is recommended for any disease of the nasal passages and throat where inflammation is present. It is effectively used for colds. espe- cialy the vapor treatment, which Is often used to break up a cold over night. It is also used for coughs, sore throat croup and asthma. Hyomei Is guaranteed.
 If you purchase HYOMEI and are not satisfied we will refund the money.
