walls would topple and bury the fire.

ACCIDENT ON THE
RAPID TRANSIT LINE

Shortly after nine o'clock last night
two Rapid Transit cars were in colli-
sion in the McCully tract, Chinese
boy being slightly injured in the acci-
dent. AS the car from Waikiki turned
into King street from McCully street
it was closely followed by the car from
Kaimuki. A passenger on the latter
car said that in front of the Chilling
worth residence someone whistled. The
nlotorman turned around and at the
same time the Waikiki car came to a
standstill. The Kaimuki motorman
did not notice this and his car bumped
into the former one, smashing the
tenders of both cars. A japanese boy,
who was a passenger on the Kaimuki
car jumped and sped away from the
scene of the accident as fast as his
legs would carry him. Another pas
senger. a young Chinese. fell from the
Kaimuki car and received minor
bruises about his face.
