HOLSTEIN MADE
ADMINISTRATOR
QUEENS ESTATE
Contestants of 1917 Will De-
feat Move for Appointment
of John F. Colburn

Under bond in the sum Of $4,000,
H. Lincoln Holstein, speaker of the
house of representatives of the Ha-
waiian legislature, was appointed by
Circuit Judge C. w. Ashford late yes
terday afternoon as temporary admin
istrator of the estate of the late
Queen LiIiuokalani. In making the
appointment Judge Ashford denied a
petition for the appointment of John
F. Colburn, named executor in the
purported will of 1917, and petition
for the joint appointment Of Col. Cur
tbs P. Iaukea and Delegate ]. K. Ka-
lanianaole. -#
Until the temporary administrator
qualities Col. Iaukea, who was prt
vate secretary to the queen and who
managed her affairs while she was
alive, will remain in possession OF
Washington Place, the queens home
in Beretania street, and its contents.
Speaker Holstein, whose home is In
Kohala, Hawaii, is one of the most
prominent figures in Hawaiian public
life. -.
The appointment of Speaker Hol-
stein brings to close the preliminary
proceedings which served to launch
the triangular litigation over the
queens estate. Petitions for the pro-
bate of both wills-that of Dec. 2,
1909, and that of Aug. 20, 1917-have
been filed, and these are to be heard
by Judge Ashford early in December.
The next step in the litigation will be
proceedings to prove the wills. This
phase of the litigation may end in two
ways-one of the wills may be admit.
ted and the other thrown out, or both
may be thrown out. -.
Delegate Kuhio, who claims to be
the only heir at law of the queen, has
signified his intention, through his
attorneys, to contest both wills, and
has already filed in court a petition
for the appointment of himself as ex'
ecutor of the estate. The purported
will Of 1917, which leaves the bulk of
the estate, valued at about S2S0,000, to
Princess" Theresa Wilcox Belliveau
and her son and daughter, names Col
Sn as executor. -..
Signal victories were won Dy Col
burns attorneys in proving that he
was rightly a candidate for appoint
ment as temporary administrator, and
that the 1917 will, upon casual in
spection, was valid one. But their
defeat came yesterday afternoon when
proof was put on to show that Colbur1
was not proper person for the posi-.
ton of temporary administrator.
The hearing yesterday afternoon
harked back to the time in 1916, when
Colburn, then treasurer and manager
of the Kapiolani estate, was ousted
from the position by Delegate Kuhio.
1t was upon the presumption that Ku.
hio and Colburn were unfriendly and
not on speaking terms that the con.
testants based this phase of their case
against Colburn's appointment.

CONTEND QUEEN
SIGNED DISPUTED
WILL WITHOUT AID

That it will be the contention of the
attorneys for John F. Colburn that the
late Queen Liliuokalani placed her
signature on the purported will of Aug.
90, 1917, with her own hand and with
out the aid of anyone, either directly
or indirectly, is the statement which
has been made by Attorney Lorrin An
drews, one of counsel for the propo-
nents of the document.
When the statement was made in
court recently by Circuit Judge Ash
ford that there have been cases where
a person making a will has directed
another to sign the last testament be-
cause of his or her inability to write,
due to feebleness or other physical or
mental incapacity, the question arose
as to whether the attorneys for Mr..
Colburn would hold that the queen re.
ceiyed assistance when placing her
signature on the several pages and at
the end Of the document >.f /. .
When asked if this would be the
case Attorney Andrews said that it
would not, pointing out that the con
enion of he proponents will be that
the queen wrote ner signature alone
and unaided.
The bold, round letter. of the sigma
ture of the 1917 document are in sharp
contrast with the wayering lines in
the almost unreliable signatures OF
1909, 1915 and as late as March of this
year. On March 81, 1917, according to
testimony, the queen placed her sigma.
ture on a picture of herself in a book
called "Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's
Queen" the property of Mrs. Lahilahi
Webb. This signature is nearly two
and one-half inches long, with the let
tiers far. apart, and is hardly readable.
The same wavering lines are notice.
able in the queens signature to a doc.
ument made a part of the record in
the still pending litigation in which
Delegate Kuhio tried to break the
trust in which the queens property
now held. =

CAMERON TO BE SENT

Cameron's deportation from Canada

JAPANESE MEN URGED

Consul-G General R. Moroi of Japan
was the chief speaker at the meeting
held last night in the Asahi theater
which opened the campaign under
taken by an association of prominent
Japanese businessmen in the city to
induce japanese men resident in these
islands to abandon the kimoEa t0r
European dress.
Mr.. Morof pointed out that the ma
tional dress of Japan was not suitable
for wear here by the men; that in the
first place it was not artistic and that
in the second place they were not re-
siding in Japan but in American terri
tory and therefore they should wear
American clothes. T. Kawasaki, 5ccre-
tary of the Japanese Y NJ. G.. a. also
spoke on the same subject. Two

The line drawn across the English
