RELATES
DREAMS
On Examination BY Attorneys
He Denies Asking Delegate
Kuhio for $4,000 in Connec-
ton With 1917 Will

Under a rapid-fire examination anc
cross-examination in the office of q
local attorney Yesterday afternoon
Rev" Sam Kamakaia, who says his
type of religion is akin to Christian
Science, failed TO weaken in his re
cent statements that he did not sign
the alleged 1917 will of the late Queen
Liliuokalani in the presence of her
majesty, but at his own home, and
that he said he had signed the alleged
will in the queens presence only after
being schooled by Princess Theresa
Wilcox Belliveau.
But Kamakaia denied emphatically
when asked the question, that he had
gone to Delegate kuhio and demanded
$4,000, saying that he held the alleged
1917 will in the palm of his hand, and
could either release it or crush it as
he pleased. Kamakaia was told that
an attorney present had been reliably
informed that he had demanded this
money.
John F. Colburn, who has filed in
circuit court an affidavit in which he
asks to be discharged as executor of
the queens estate under the alleged
1917 will, conducted most Of the eXa-
nination.
What prompted you to become a
minister of the Gospel?" Colburn
asked.
Il believe that there is a God and
that the Bible is His teachings" Ka-
makaia answered

FRISCO VOTING
TODAY ON RECALL
OF ATTY. F|CKERT
tAssoctassd Pres Ayu = sava: wirel.ss.I

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1S.-Recall
of Charles NJ. Fickert, district attor.
ney of San Francisco county, was
sought in an election held here today.
Official aspects OF the event were
swallowed up in nationwide contro-
versy over Fickert's activities in OBJ
tanning the Indictment and trial of
persons accused OF murder in connec,
ton with a bomb explosion which
killed ten persons here July %, 1916.
in a preparedness parade. Fickert's
friends took the position that his re-
call was sought because of these cases,
which resulted in one sentence of
death, one of life Imprisonment and
two acquittals, with one case not yet
adjudicated. His opponents asserted
that his activities against the defend
ants were not warranted by facts Or
evidence, and accuses him of "perse-
cution." Magazines throughout the
country and some men in public life
took sides as to the propriety of these
prosecutions.
Fickert's opponests today were
Charles A. Sweigert, who ran second
in the last election for district attor-
ney, and Frank P. Haynes. Sweigert
was a member of the police commits
sion just after the fire of 1906.
Haynes took an active part in politics
here some years ago.
The specific charges against Flick
ert, as contained in the recall petit
tons, were that he has failed to ap-
preciate the duties and responsible
ties Of his office, and has been guilty
of violating the standard of conduct
demanded of him by the Supreme
Court of California" and that he is
not conducting the office of district

COMMANDERS STATEMENT
BELIEVED DUE TO CABLE
Hawaiian Department Head Changes Opinion in Course of
Morning But Refuses to AmpIfy Statement

nothing more that / can say at this
time"
That something definite has Occurr-
ed to cause the general to state that
there is no prospect now or in the
near future for mobilization, and that
this is a cable message from Wash
ington, seems the only plausible solu-
ton to the sudden turn of affairs.
Seen earlier this morning and ask
ed concerning mobilization, the gen.
eral seemed quite inclined to believe
that such action could be expected,
though he made no direct assertion to
that effect. He remarked that the
congressman who visited here have
now reached Washington. and that
they seemed we'll inclined toward the
calling out of the local guard at the
time they were here. The statement
that there is no prospect for service
soon was made shortly before
o'clock this afternoon.

Japanese government officials. who
have been interviewed on the subject,
disapprove of any action being taken
at this time, and this opinion is held

Subpoenas which have been issued
at the instance Of Circuit Judge C. w.
Ashford summon John Kealoha, for
mer supervisor, and Rev" Sam Ka-
makaia, witnesses to the alleged 1917
will of the late Queen Liliuokalani,
to be in his court at O'Clock next
Friday afternoon to tell what they
know concerning the document.
Circuit Judge Ashford has taken
this step in spite of affidayits which
have been filed by John F. Colburn,
who is named as executor in the al
legged will, and his attorneys request
ing permission to withdraw the docu.
ment from probate. Colburn has re-
quested to be discharged as executor
In court and legal circles the courts
action is characterized as vitality i'm
portant step, and one which will appar-
emily bring out the truth as to whether
Kealoha and Kamakaia actually sign
ed the will in the queens presence,
and whether the signature "Liliuoka
lani," which appears on each page of
the alleged will, was written by the
queen or by someone else.
Kamakaia and Kealoha will testify
under oath. The former has already
repudiated an affidavit made a few
days. after the queens death to the
effect that he witnessed her signature
in her presence.
Kealoha was asked today whether
he cared to affirm or deny a report
about town that it was he who affix-
ed the name of the queen to the sew
eral pages of the alleged will.
You'll get nothing out of me-" was
his answer. I'll tell my story to
