An Estate
Vanishes
Judge Kalua given Scathing
Roast by J. Lightfoot.
A sensation of unequalled pro
portions was created in the Circuit
Cwurt of the Second Circuit on
Thursday of this week when attt r
noy J. Lightfoot moved the Court
to commit County Attorney' John
W. Kalua to jail on a charge of per-
'iury.
The final accounts of' Rev S.
Kapu, administratorof the estate
of Henry Cooper Jr. were lieforo
the court for approval.
Ro. Kapu has filed his final ac
counts which showed that hesides
the real estate there should he on
hand five head of work cattle, one
filly and GS".10 hut as a matter
of fact there is hut ten cents in the
hands of the administrator and no
vouchers fort he distribution of the
money or other persona) propel ty
which have, as the Court remark
ed, evaporated. The estate is one
of. many that have been handled
in the past in this circuit in a
most astonishing manner ami was
watched vith interest.
'On the 28th of September Judge
A. N. Kepoilcai appointed Attorney
J. Lightfoot Amicus Curiae. Mr.
Lightfoot went into the case at
once and made a careful investiga
tion of the records and examined
witnesses and filed an exhaustive
and able report on the condition of
the estate.
He in part says, "Ori February
(Hh, 1899 Kev. S. Kapu received
from J. N. K. Keola. Clerk Second
Circuit Court $809.95. 1 desire to
point out to y'our Honor that from
the said Gth day of February 1899,
there is evidently no pretense of
investment of this large sum of
money.
''There is no reason that can be
ascertained from the records why
this estate was not promptly closed
in about eight months. (See Es
tate of Kaiu, IS Hawn. page 398),
but not only has the Estate been
kept open since 1899, but no ac
counts havo been filed and the
money has cvidenily been allowed
to lie idle in the hands of the ad
ministiator. I respectfully suggest
therefore, that the admistrator
should bo charged with legal in
terest on said !fS09.95 from tho Gth
day of February 1899 to the 24th
day of April 1905 at the rate of
G per annum and interest from
the said 24Urday of April 1905 to'
the date hereof at the rate of S
per annum.
The inventory contains' the fol
lowing curios observations:

) is Presented by Doctor
Raymond.
One of th:' most enjoyable luiiiis
ever given on Maui took place at
Kahului last Saturday evening in
one of the large sugar warehouses
The ladies had decorated the build
ing most tastefully with flags and
bunting and a profusion of ferns.
A table nearly two hundred feet
long was set down the center of the
building with seats on either side
Jt was estimated that at Ibis tablt
about four hundred people -sat down
and enjoyed the various Hawaiian
dishes, which had been excellently
prepared.
In the ccnti iMf the table was the
lcautiful silver cup presented by the
Raynxttid l!aneh. The cup is un
questionably the most valuable tro
phy ever offered on MauMo encour
age baseball-
Dr. J. H. Raymond, to whom is
due. the presentation of this 'cup
was asked to make the presentation
speech and he acquitted himself with
becoming dignity and in a manner
that left no doubt in the minds of
his hearers 'that he was actuated by
a desire to faster good, clean, man
ly sport on Maui. ,
Dr. Raymond sajd in part, in pre
senting the cup: "
ii,.
Captain bnglisli, hclore present
ing this cup, to your club I wish to
say that last year 1 happened to be
one day in the First National Hank
of Wailuku and overheard Mr. J;
Garcia say that the boys were hav
ing a very liard time in obtaining
sufficient funds to meet expenses in
order to keep up the baseball teams.
After listening to what he had to
Say I determined toofi'er this cup of
the Raymond Ranch as a trophy to
be played for by local teams.
"Captain English, it is,a pleasure
to me to present this cup to you a?
you have won ivhorio.-tly and fairlv.
1 have noted with pride, that this
year has seen better baseball games
on Maui than before and 1 take
pride in the thought that 1 may
have clmtributed to some slight ex
tent in developing good sport on this
island. 1 congratulate you and your
team on the earnest and honest ef
forts you havo made.
"There are many others who have
contributed towards developing an
interest in sports on this island.
Among them are II. I Baldwin'
and his sons.-They are good sports."
And then turning to the members1
of the defeated teams he compli
mented thorn on tho strenuous ef
forts they had put up and assured
them it took men of character to
smile when others won from them
the object of their desires, lie ad
vised them to put forth every efi'ort
possible to win back from the Kahu
lui team tho trophy.
