Iron Cross for his services. Captain
Edward Delnat, also on trial, figured
as a messenger in delivering the sail

Representative S. J. Nlcholls of South

It is an old. old story that of The

now she comes forward and declares
she is going to put the matter off n-
longer; that she is going to Washing

some local affairs.
The "princess" claims that Kameha
meha V died intestate, and that the
only real heirs of the line are herself
and her aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth K. Pratt.
"When ray former husband, Robeit
Wilcox, was living," said Theresa to
day, "we put in a claim before cou
gress lor the crown lands, and it i
still there. The late Queen Liliuo
kalani was the last Hawaiian ruler and
was therefore entitled to the income
from the crown lands. But now that
she is dead the property should rightly
go to the heirs of Kamehameha, and
these heirs, I claim, are Mrs. Pratt

ing the neutrality of the United Statas
and asserted that it he had known
the details he would have refused to
aid the Maverick or carry out his in
structions. Under the standing in
structions of the German government
to destroy all papers upon the sever

testified he r. burned the letter and

"Further revelations concerning the
movements of toe Maverick in Ha
waiian waters are- expected this
rooming, when Schroeder will be
called as a government witness by
Preston. This .was Indicated when
the prosecutor; asked Rodiek If he
knew that Captains Eelbo and Deinat
had secured a receipt for $10,000 from
the master of the Maverick showing
that the latter had been paid that
sum at San Pedro by Fred Jebsn

Rodiek also denied that he knew Cap

been used as a relay station lot Ger

A recommendation for leniency will
be made; by Preston as. the result of
too actions of Rodiek and Schroeder,
who admit but technical guilt tln toe

that Rodiek "stated that he did Vnot

"Princess" Theresa laughs at the

that some one is going to make a
"raid" on the Bishop estate.
'1 suppose toe person referred to in
that article Is myself,' says Theresa.
"I'm not trying to break, the estate
She was asked If the Core lot did not
belong, to the Bishop estate.
"It certainly does not," she re
t ponded.
The 'princess" claims, however,
that the Bishop estate holds some of
the Kamehameha V property
-At one time I was going to bring
a suit to recover some of the Kameha

much ot it was going to waste. I
might still bring the suit But am
