Witnesses to
1917 viii to
Come to Court

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 affidavits 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 a 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 cath. 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 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 set nothing out of me-" was
his answer. 'I'll tell my story to

GAS WARFARE
TO Be TAUGHT

Gas Clouds Will EncircIe Scho'

Officers Start Training

Indications that the Hawaiian de-
partment is preparing for the present
war on a strictly modern basis are
seen in the information that the train
ing camp to open at Schofield Bar
racks on January will have full
course in both offensive and defensive
gas operations,
Plans are being considered for the
installation Of full equipment to teach
gas warfare TO the embryo officers so
that when they meet it in actual fight
ing in Europe they will be no strang-
ers to how to direct ii at the enemy
nor how to protect themselves
against it,
In the equipment that will be in
stalled for the school will he a gas
house, which will afford the final
proof to a candidate that he is fitted
to meet an opposing force using gas.
In this house will be gas of the most
deadly variety, and the soldier, wear
ing a gas helmet, will be sent through
it until he is familiar with the deadly
stuff.
Then there will be full instructions
in directing gas attacks, such as those
in which great clouds Of it are sent
floating with the wind in the direction
of the enemy.
Among the well known forms of gas
used in the present war are the ZACH.
rymal, which produces copious tears;
and asphyxiating gas and suffocating
gas, which render unconscious or
smother outright Sometimes the gas
is shot through hose built especially
for the purpose and sometimes it is
fired over into the enemy country in
exploding shells.

A Fine Piece of Work

1t will interest all our readers that
the fact of the Maine daily papers be-
ing enabled to publish the laws Of the

due to soine particularly fine work in

Harry Shorey of Bridgton is in charge
in the Office of the secretary Of State.
Mr.. Shorey had been on continuous
duty for a length of time in getting
the engrossed bills ready for the Leg
islature that he was practically "all
in" but with the efficient assistance of
Assistant Secretary of State Ernest
Thornton and Misses Wilson and Small
and Mrs. Roul of that department. who
were on duty throughout the session
and from 8 to 6 o'clock that Sunday
morning. the various public, private and
special acts and resolves were arrang-
ed, indexed anE otherwise prepared for
publication in the newspaper editions Of
the laws.
The entire session-14 weeks in length
had been a strenuous one, particular
1y in the last week. when it seemed that
some members expected to hand a long
bill to the engrossing department with
one hand and receive it back with the
other. in n and the same motion, and
that nerve-racking Saturday afternoon
and evening surpassed anything remem-
. bered by anyone familiar with legisla.
tive work. However, the emergency
was met and through the very eflcien,
work of Mr.. Shorey and his assistants
the people of Maine on Monday morn.
ing next were able to read the laws en-,
acted by the Legislature which had adj
1ourned at $40 o'clock of the day previ
