It will be interesting to see what this staff writer discovers about the actual ownership of the Hawaiian Electric Company. Chief/King Kalakaua passed in January 1891 in San Franciso, Ca. Four months later in May 1891, Kalakaua's Nuuanu plant manager William Lockwood and William Hall, Edwin White and Jonathan Austin (lawyer) form a  partnership as registered owners of this Utility. Five months later in October 1891, this partnership is dissolved and incorporated into what would become The Hawaiian Electric Company. A good item for this writer to research is, how did this these individuals circumvent the probate court process to clear ownership for themselves in order to steal away this vital family interest of the House of Kamahameha, Ali'i Trust and it's heirs? If you take a look at the Timeline of Kamehameha's passing in January 1891, the forming of their partnership the following May and filing Articles of Incorporation, the following October 1891 one has to look at possible fraud.
