I EXPATRIATED GERMAN
LEFT LARGE FORTUNB
TO TOWN IN GEBMANT j
HONOLULU, T. H., Mar., 7— By
A. P.—• H. Wilhelm Welters, who came
to Hawaii nearly forty years ago from
Bremen, Germany, as a poor clerk ano
accumulated a fortune of almost half i
a million dollars, made a will four
months after the United States ha:l
entered the war against Germany be- ‘
queathing almost all of his estate toj
the “Free and Hansa town of Bremen.
Germany."
Woltere died recently and his wiii
has just been made public. Under its
terms the estate, valued at $455,000,;
is to be held in trust for ten years,
during which certain annuities are to;
be paid two brothers and other rela-,
tives, and, after a few other minor be
quests are paid, the residue is to go to
Bremen for charitable, educational,
scientific and other purposes.
Richard H. Trent , respective in
Hawaii for Custodian of Enemy Aliens
Property Palmer, is of the opinion, j
however, that Wolter’s wealth may
never go to Bremen. Mr. Trent is
placing the case before the authorities
at Washington. Wolters for m*Ay
years had been a naturalised Ameri
can citisen. He was a heavy owner in
the old Hackfield, Ltd., a concern i
which was recently Americanised un-(
der the American Factors, Ltd- This
concern made a score of expatriated
Germans wealthy.
