Dubious or not LSJ also give "how" as a meaning and cites (erroneously) Acts 15.12 (presumably meaning 15.14).  LSJ also lists Aristeas 263 which you might wish to check.

R.H. Charles translation:
263 he said to the first, 'How can a man keep himself from pride?' 
And he replied, 'If he maintains equality and remembers on all 
occasions that he is a man ruling over men. And God brings the proud 
to nought, and exalts the meek and humble.'

KAQWS in Acts 15:4 introduces indirect discourse (Danker, Culy/ 
Parsons) but glossing it as "how" and then saying that this is a 
rare meaning (Barrett Acts ICC) seems to me to misconstrue the 
evidence. Does it mean "how"? Danker and Culy/Parsons both 
translated it "how" but do NOT indicated that "how" is the meaning of 
KAQWS. I have no problem with the translation but Barrett identifies 
it as meaning of KAQWS which seems dubious at best.
