KawaiahaO Church, center OF the
Hawaiian religious observance ana
often the church home OF Hawaiian
royalty, is draped in mourning today
as it will be all this week. Thick Ioids
of crepe, outlining the architectural
design at the front, have been draped
over the massive pillars above the
steps, while inside the panelings run
ming from the balcony toward the put
pit, the organ loft, the pulpit ana
leetern, have all been covered with
heavy, impenetrable crepe. The same
sable hangings clothe the royal pew
A little to the right OF the approach
to the. altar from the royal pew mas
been placed a long koa table, over
which is flung covering OF brocaded
velvet of rich, royal yellow, and on
this stand rests at full length the las!
of the Hawaiian monarchs.
Wreaths and leis of island and
greenhouse flowers set off by the
sable background, give mute testl-
mony of the respect and love in which
the queen was held. for the flowers
are all the gifts of loving friends, who
will replace them with fresh offerings
every day throughout the entire time
of mourning.
81 have asked the florists who will
receive most of the orders for flowers
to limit their deliveries to six Offer
ings a day, from each place" said
Ernest Parker, who has charge of all
the decorations for the entire week.
81 have done this so that each day
the flowers will be fresh. Hundreds
OF people are sending flowers, and |
want all of the flowers that are not
ordered through florists to be sent
direct to Kawaiahao Church"

KAWAIAHAO CHURCH Scene OF
BEAUTY; LOVING HANDS WORK

The decorations are simple, but rich,
very beautiful and very effective.
They have been arranged to call out
the beauty of the many feather kahilis
beionging to the queens household
which have been placed in pairs along
the aisles and around the bier. The
famous Tenney palms are scattered
here and there among the kahal!s.
IT, has been our aim to center the
effect in the decorations around the
atear and the bier" said Mr.. Parker.
Except for the palms, nothing but
the kahilis will be used in decorating.
No floweFs.at all, barring the floral
offerings to Her Majesty, will be seen
in the church There are nearly 30
kahiiis. A half dozen Of them are
the sacred kahilis that accompanied
the royal remains here last night, and
will go with Her Majesty to the tomb.
The others are kahilis OF the house Of
Lilinokalani, and will be returned to
Washington Place. :4=-
I'VE have tried to arrange the ka-
hills and palms so that plenty of room
will be left for the people to pass
around the bier. When the lying-in-
state is over at 10 o'clock tonight |
shall probably effect slightly diff
ferent arrangement of the decorations:
Il could not have done all this work
without the splendid assistance | have
had from my helpers, who are Mrs.
James Fl. Boyd, Mrs. Annie Conrad,
Mrs. Charles Chillingworth, Mrs. hi
lani Techara, Mrs C. J. Robinson
and Mrs. Irene Boyd Mackenzie-all
artists in decorating, and to them be-
longs much praise for their untiring
and skilful aid in this last service
We shall ever be able to perform Cor
our queen" ~.

Grown jewels
. OF QUEEN USED,
BOND IS GIVEN

When Col. Curtis P. Iaukea, the late
queens secretary, went down to the
Bishop Trust Co. yesterday to get
some OF the crown jewels, he was in
formed very courteously, but also very
positively, that he had no power of at
torney to take the jewels from the
vault, the power of attorney given him
by Liliuokalani having automatically
expired at her death.
In the afternoon several ATTORNEYS
conferred with Circuit Judge William
II. Heen, who expressed a non-judiciaI
opinion that bond of $4,000 would
be ample surety to protect the trust
company in the removal of certain
crown jewels which were desired for
the funeral. The bond represents
about double the value of the Jewels
In the company's vaults.
A diamond tiara, the crown worn by
Queen Liliuokalani during her regency
and her visit to England as we'll as
while she was queen, were among the
Jewels wanted. The list also includes
necklace and all the foreign and
Hawaiian decorations.
The valuation placed upon these
jewels enumerated was less than
10000, the tiara, or crown, being list.
ed as a hair ornament" and valued
at $3.50, while the necklace had a
value of $500 placed upon it, with
$500 estimated as the worth of the
various decorations.
Bond accordingly was made out
based on the jewelers. valuation.
Later in the day Colonel Iaukea was
called from his multitudinous other
duties in connection with the affairs
OF the queen to answer the telephone.
1t was E. White Sutton of the Bishop
Trust Company speaking, and he very
anxiously wanted to know what valua.
ton had been placed on the tiara.
THE tiara" said Colonel Iaukea. 'is
named in the estimate as a hair orna.
ment,' valued at $3.50"
THAT figure should be $4,000" said
Mr.. Sutton. "You will have to give a
new bond"
Colonel Iaukea, reading from the
jewelers. inventory which had been
used when the jewels were placed in
the safety deposit vault, insisted that
$3.50 was the true valuation of the
famous tiara, and not $4,000 as rumor
has had it for so long. 49,.
All the jewels mentioned, together
with an amethyst pin, some long gold
chains, and an emerald ring of which
the queen was always very fond, will
be decorate the remains during the
time Of lying in state. Mos: of these
Jewels will be returned to the estate
after the funeral ceremonies are over,
but the emerald ring, and possibly a
small solitaire will be buried with her.

HOLD PRINCESS
IS HEIR At Law
OF LATE QUEEN
Attorneys Think Kinship of Mrs.
Belliveau and Mrs. Pratt is
Nearer Than That of Dele
gate Kuhio; Women Claim to
Be NieCeS

If statements she has made to at.
torneys and other regarding her &c.
nealogy are confirmed, then "Prin.
cess" Theresa Wilcox Belliveau, and
not Delegate Kuhio, is one of the
real heirs at-law of the late Queen
Liliuokalani, the other heir-at-law be.
ing Mrs. Elizabeth K. Pratt, sister OF
Princess" Theresa. Mrs. Pratt was
a high chiefess under the monarchy
and retains that title now.
An attorney interested in the set
tlement of the queens estate stated
positively today that Princess" Their
esa and Mrs. Pratt, who claim to be
nieces of the late queen, would be
the real heirs at law, although Dele
gate Kunio has contended that he is
the heir. This attorney explains
however, that Kuhio is but cousin
once removed, of the queen, thus
bringing the kinship Of Mrs. Belli
veau and Mrs. Pratt nearer the late
monarch,
1t is further pointed out that should
the will made by the queen in 1909
and now in the hands of the trustees
OF the Liliuokalani Trust, and the
1917 now in the hands Of Attorneys
William B. Lymer and Lorrin An
drews, be declared invalid, Mrs. Bel
liveau and Mrs. Pratt, could they
prove their alleged kinsh:p, undoubt
eddy would be declared the heirs-a.,
law and, under the trust deed OF
1909, receive their share IF the late
queens estate.
In his sensational fight to break
the trust in which the queens prop
erty is now held, Delegate Kuhio de.
clared that the queen was tunduly
influenced, and that she was incoln-
petent, mentally and otherwise, to
MAKE the trust deed and will or 1905
which gave the trustees OF the estate
wide powers as regards The dispo'
sition of the estate.
In their demurrer to the complaint
of the delegate, the trustees of the
I-iliuokalani trust commended that if
the trust deed was SET aside a.
prayed for in Kuhio's petition, the
delegate, as he claimed, would be
next of kin and sole hetr-at-laW CT
the late queen; and that, If the trust
vas dissolved, AMI the queen became
intestate, then her entire estate, upon
hr death, would go to kuhio on his
claim.
The supreme court, passing on a
phase of the case which was threshed
out to some extent in former Circuit
Judge T. B. Stuart's court, decided
that the presumption of competency
prevailed in favor of the queen, that
she had the right to control the suit
as she was personally concerned, and
to discontinue the same, which she
attempted to do. g..
In an interview given the Star
Bulletin yesterday, Princess" Their.
esa said she knew that the queen
was considering drawing up new
will, but declared that, as far as she
knew, John F. Colburn, mentioned in
the purported will as executor, had
nothing to do with it and knew moth.
ing about it. This claim, as regards
Colburn, is also made by his at.
torneys.
Princess" Theresa added that she
did not know whether she was men,
toned as a devisee in the purported
will, but that she should be if she
was not. .......
