It was a busy day yesterday for the
.men" of the 1st Hawaiian Infantry, for
the assembly hour at the armory had
been placed at 6:30 o'clock,' the ear
liest ever held there. It made some
hard scrambling for guardsmen living
in the cuter sections of the city, but
arrival on time was up to them and
they made it. , .
In the early gray of the dawn they
came from all directions with the ar
mory as a common meeting place, and
the' rays of old Sol were hardly touch
ing the edges c$ Punchbowl crater be
fore i the companies had.commenced to
form for entralnment. :
Down Hotel street they marched to
Alakea, thence to King and out King
to the railway station, where cars and
Duffine eneines were waiting. The
entire two battalions were entrained !
in record time. Col. W. R, Riley being
in command. It was a long train that
passed out of the yards, 20 passenger I
cars and one side-door Pullman
In -the afternoon the 2nd Battalion,
which is the outside battalion, recently
formed, entrained from their respect
ive stations on the Oahu railway. This
was with the exception of the Waialua
company, which was taken to the
camp site on a train of the home plan
tatlon. '
- Thef quartermasters and hospital
tents are placed on the opposite side
of. the railroad track from" the main
camp. ' The headquarters tents are
equipped with electric lights and tele
phone. . .
''. Most , of the Kauai tents were al
ready up when the Honolulu contin
gent arrived. .
;The Mauna Loa arrived yesterday
with Company E of the 2nd Hawaiian
Infantry, consisting of 149 men and
three officers; Company G, with 61
men and one officer, and the battalion
commander. This made a total of 251
that went for the night to the capitol
grounds.;. .' . . ' 1
vThis : morning the Claudine arrived
with more men from Company G, 48
in all and two officers. On the same
boat is Company H with 91 men and
three officers; sanitary detachment
with 11 men and one officer,; and one
officer-and four men unassignedV Ser
geant instructors from the army bring
the . total to 153. ' All of these troops
ltft for Kawailoa thisi morning: on the
train.
"VThe Maui an0V3Kvail companies are
to camp between the Kauai companies.
Company L, 1st Hawaiian Infantry, Is
the only company not participating in
the camp... This organization under
Capt, Eddie Hopkins and Lieut Will
iam E. Miles is on guard over the city
water supply In Nuuanu valley, and
furnishing men for the queen's guard.
"Attendance at . Kawailoa is estimated
at more, than 90 per cent of the total
guard strength; . ;

from Honolulu on Sunday morning it
took only eight minutes to detrain.
This may be a record and it may not
be, but at any rate it carried out the
order of things as they are done at the
Kawailoa camp.
Whoever was ordained to select the j
cite for the camp must have had an
eye for beauty as well, as efficiency.
On one side the breakers strike against
the sandy beach, a stone's 'throw from
the - qamp. - On the other side the
mountains rear their heads among the
clouds. Added to all fiTeTbeauty yes
terday was a bright sky and a faint
breeze which inaugurated the nature
life of the camp.
Sadness at Queen's Death
Intermingling with the hustling
spirit of the men at camp was an air
of sadness. The camp had been named
OFFICERS ANDMEN OF GUARD DAMP
GET DOVN TO WORK IN GOOD ORDER
inrhonor o fthe late. Queen Liliuoka-uhe
lanl. And when the morning special
train arrived at the camp at 10:45 yes
terday morning the troops found the
flag at half-mast.
And then the men went about their
work with an earnestness and order
which was a revelation even to the of
ficers. "This camp has been named in
honor, of the late, queen, said one of
the boys as he hammered a stake into
the ground. "It is up to us to make
good more than ever now."
When the special arrived from. Hono-
- . '
lulu yesterday morning there was al -
ready a-group r tents on the sand
dunes makal nf-the rallmart ae ha
third battalion of the 2nd Regiment
and .the -first. troop of Hawaiian cav-i

The headquarters and terts for staff
Officers had beer, placed near the rail
road.' The large mess hall for officers
and " the lunch counter conducted ; by
the Sweet Shop were placed back
along the beach.
Culinary Department at Work '.
After the arrival of the troops from
Honolulu the men were , marched to
their quarters, where their rifles and
equipment were stacked, and they then
began, a race to raise their tents. The
old saying that "an army travels on its
stomach holds good at Kawailoa, as
tne iirst tent to go up was the kitchen

wooa was orougnt. rrom across the
tracksand the culinary department was

were ready for "chow

strong
undertow at the camp, the
men will not be allowed to go in
swimming there, but arrangements
have been made for the men to swim
at Haleiwa, which is a little more
than a mile from the camp. Sanitary
regulations are being strictly enforc
ed and the squaas began work at
once in making the camp as sanitary
as is possible.

is the cavalry troop which is station
ed at the Haleiwa end of the field.
There are two officers and 58 men In
company.' Captain O. L. Sorenson
and Lieutenant Sam Parker are in
charge. The mounts were furnished

News of Tragedy Accompanies
Matsonia Bringing Miltia-v
men to Honolulu
Death, self -caused, followed in the
wake of the steamer Matsonia on her
first voyage as a troopship, -when she
carried a contingent cf the 2nd Inf.,
N. G. H., from Hilo to Honolulu last
night. v ;
carrying nls full guard equipment,
rifle, bed and clothing roll, and fully
dressed in his uniform, Lollo Borong,
a Filipino, climbed into the after miz
zen rigging of the Matsonia ? and
jumped into the 6ea at 2:55 this morn
ing. , -:.
No warning was given, his compan
ions, who were all about him as he pre
pared to commit suicide. - Little at
tention was given to him as he climbed
into the rigging and not until ho gave
a shout as he plunged over the rail of
the ship. . ' -'.
The words "Man overboard!" was
quickly passed, and in less than five
minutes the engines of the ship were
stepped and a lighted buoy cast after
the man. Capt. William Rind re
versed the ship's course and searched
th 3 surrounding waters ror nearly an
hour In an endoavor to find Borong or
his body. ,
Due to the heavy equipment carried
by Borong, about 70 pounds in weight,
it is believed he sunk immediately
upon striking the water. The Mat
sonia was off the Island of Lanai
when the tragedy occurred. I
Borong was a member of Co. C of
the first platoon and came from Hono-
kaa. Fear of arrest in Honolulu on
an old murder charge is the only; rea
son given by his .companions as the
probable one for his suicide.
The guardsmen from Ilonokaa had
just been paid a bonus by the planta
tion amounting to about $70 each for
the Filipinos. This amount of money
is believed to have been in Borong's
lockets when he went overboard.
While nearly all the Filipinos on the
ship were engaged in gambling on the
voyage from Hilo to Honolulu, it Is
said that Borong did not participate
in the games and that loss of his
money was not the cause for his sui
cide. Of the attempt to rescue the man,
Capt. Rind, master or the Matsonia,
makes the following report:
"The engines were immediately
stopped and a lighted buoy thrown
overboard. I turned! the ship i around
and returned to buoy and steamed
slowly back along the ship's previous
track, but could find no trace of the
missing man."
His report says that BorOng "delib
erately jumped overboard, presumably
intent on suicide."
Col. Harry Morehead was in com
mand of the Hawaii contingent of th
2nd Infantry, about 300 men in all,
which was transported to Honolulu by
the Matsonia.
He stole for her. To her he was
the noblest, most honorable matt tshe
knew. For her he 'decided to go
straight: for her he gave up the
"crooked" life. These are a few of
the gripping episodes that go .to
make up "Babette," a Vitagrapn fea
ture film which begins this evening
at the Bijou theater. With the de
parture of the Monte Carter com
pany, motion pictures will be fea
tured at the Bijou until further
nctice.
The sweet influence of Babette
moulds a n?w man out of the former
crook. But then comes adversity and
the girl needs money to go away
for her health. The ' man succumbs
to the call of the crook life and gets
the money in the old . way. . Then
come the police. The. man had 'lied
to the girl, but a turn of Fate comes
to his aid and she never knows.
The play is an emotional one, full
of action and well presented.
Two movie "surprises" precede the
feature picture.
On the roof next Wednesday, Nov.
14, a beautiful silver loving cup has
been donated by the management of
the Union Grin and will be awarded
to the fortunate winner. ;
Tables may be reserved in advance.

TEXTOF QUEEN'S ALEEGEP ;
; NEW IVILL IS KOTlECBEI
Brief Outline of Story Behind Appearance of Unsuspected
Document Given By Attorneys and "Princess" Theresa
The text of what purports to be the
new will by the late Queen Liliuokala
ni, made and executed during the last
few months of ht;r iue, today is in thd
hands of Auorneys. Lorrin Andrews
and William B. Lymer, and will be
filed shortly in circuit court for pro
bate. This will names John F. Col
burn, former manager and treasurer,
of the Kapiolani Estate, as executor.
Keeping his knowledge of the exis
tence of the last will secret until the
last days of the queen's life, Attorney
Andrews on November 9 telephoned
to Coiburn and informed him that -h3
had been named executor. Attorney
Andrews declared to the Star-Bulletin
today that Coiburn knew nothing of
the existence of the will and that he
expressed surprise when he received
the notification by telephone. This
statement made by Attorney Andrews
was reiterated by Mr. Coiburn this
morning. .
Attorney Andrews and his asso
ciate, Mr. Lymer, vigorously deny
that Coiburn yesterday demanded of
Colonel Curtis P. Iaukea and others
at Washington Place that the funeral
arrangements be turned over to him.
Colonel Iaukea, W. O. Smith and S.
M. Damon, trustees of the Liliuokala
ni Trust, and Delegate KuLio, were
informed by letter of the existence
of the purported last will and of the
appointment of Coiburn as executor,
Attorney Andrews today made this
letter public. It reads as follows:
Letter of Notification.
"Learning of the fatal illness of Her
Majesty, Queen Liliuokalani, and hav
ing in my possession a document pur
porting to be her last will and testa
ment; executed by her on .the 29th
day of ifugust, 1J)17, in which John F.
Coiburn, Esq., is appointed sole exe
cutor of her estate, and knowing that
you hold a certain delegation of au
thority under instruments purporting
to convey portions of her estate, I to
day notified Mr. Coiburn of his des
ignation by the queen as her execu
torand requested him to see ybu gen
tlemen as to the proper distribution
of Her Majesty's remains, in case of
her decease, and' to take charge of her
funeral arrangements.
"No one would wish any unseemly
controversy at this time over this
matter; but, under the will, it is im
perative that Mr. Coiburn should act
as rcpreientative of Hev Majesty's
estate, and he has expressed his de
sire to work in harmony with you in
all matters connected with the obse
quies of Her Majesty. It is his wish
that the probating of the will and the
disposition of her estate be .delayed
until after the funeral.
Trusting this notification ,vill be
received by you in the spirit in which
it is written and that there will be
no necessity for an unpleasant ...legal
controversy in' regard to" the last rites
to be performed for Hawaii s last
queen, 1 remain."
The letter is signed by Attorney
Andrews. . .
"I wish to correct the published
statement that Mr. Coiburn demand
ed that the funeral arrangements be
left to him," said Attorney Andrews
today "But it is now his duty to pro
tect the assets of the estate and nat-
.irallv he has to Know oi any
ditures involving the estate, as
will have to be responsible for
he
the
funeral expenses.
First Hint of New Will Last July
It was early last July that Attorney
Andrews first received notification or
his retention by the queen to draw up
her last will. He first received the
memorandum will. The interval was

ro-e of the memorandum

were delivered to Attorney Andrews
from time to time during the process
of arranging it. and some of these
were changed by the queen half a
doxen times. .
Attorney Andrews says that he had
been personally retained in the will
execution, and that Attorney Lymer
became associated with him yesterday
morning.
Supposed Summary of Will .
The attorneys today stated that coi
burn, the executor, is notnamed as a
devisee in the will. Prince Kuhio is,
however, and so arc the children of
the late John Aimoku Dominis, pro
tege of the queen. Instead.of going to
Mrs. Dominis, as has been intimated,
the attorneys express the opinion that
Washington Place, the picturesque
home of the queen, will go into the
residue of the estate. J .t
Asked today whether the admit
tance to probate of the purported last
will will put ari end to the Liliuokalani
trust the attorneys said that; would
he a matter for the court to decide.
"The trustees or tne LdiiuoKaiam
trust were noli fed of the existence of i
the will just as soon as it was known j
that ' the rmeen could not live says ;
Attorney Andrews. ;.
Delegate's Suit Still Pending
Delegate Kuhlo's suit, to break the j

to the creation of the trust,Which gave
vast control tg Colonel Iaukea and to
the . trustees. .. . . ; ; ::-: r
Conference Is Held "v-
Early this morning Attorney W. O.
Smith, one of the trustees, conferred
with Attorney Andrews and informed
him that he, too, had a will executed
by the queen. Attorney Andrews re
marked that if there was going to be
any litigation he would prefer to have
it after the funeral was over. He
added that Coiburn certainly, should
be allowed to know what expenditures
were being made. Under the will
which Attorney Smith has. Colonel Iau
kea, the late J. A. Dondinis end the late
A. S. Cleghorn are made executors,
thus leaving Colonel Iaukea with sole
power In this respect. This will is
said to dispose of practically all of the
late queen's personal property. 1
"Princess" Theresa Tells Storv
That Queen Liliuokalani began prep
arations ror executing a new will short
ly after the Kuhio litigation died down
in circuit court was the statement
given the Star-Bulletin today by
'Princess" Theresa Wilcox Belliveau
who said that the queen had , talked of
the will before her and before a num
ber of other women who used to visit
Her Majesty often.
The princess says that the late
queen was her own aunt as well as the
aunt of Mrs. Elizabeth K., Pratt. "Be
cause of our relation we should have
something from the estate," says Mrs
Belliveau, "but I do not know whether
we are mentioned, in this last will."
Mrs. Belliyieu expressed the opinion
this morning that Coiburn knew noth
ing of the purported will or of hii ap
pointment as executor until Attorney
Andrews informed him by telephone.
"The queen did not like the trust
deed,"' Mrs. Belliveau continued. "I
beard her make this statement to oth
ers. She was friendly with Kuhio,
but she. did: not like Colonel -Iaukea,
Mr. Colborn was no relation, but she
liked him because she trusted him I
do not believe that Mr. Coiburn had
anything to do with her making the
Will." ;

The Star-Bulletin was Informed this
morning that the alleged new will does
