Unconfirmed story from http://com1.runboard.com/bhuna101.fmainchat.t66 :

The story was that in the late 1920s or early 1930s there was a hotel built in Hawaii, and they could not get any Hawai'ians to work for the hotel because the hotel wad not been blessed by a kahuna. The owners said fine; just ask one of your kahuna to bless the hotel; and no go because they were afraid the kahuna would be persecuted for practising the old ways; so they tried to find a kahuna to bless the hotel and no go. They finally went to meet with MFL to see if he knew any kahuna; again the answer was no, that he did not know any kahuna at the time; but said he DID have the blessing chant if that would help them. So they found David K. Bray because of his weird appearance, and they paid him $50 to memorize and perform the blessing chant so the Hawai'ians would work there.
