BOYS LEG CRUSHED
YOUNG REYNOLDS BADLY HURT BY
 CAR.
While Playing With Companions On Bell Street Was Run Down--Am- putation of Member May be
 Necessary.

While playing yesterday morning with his companions on Bell street be- tween Whitman and Goldthwaite streets, the 12-year-old son of Mir. and Mrs. w., D. Reynolds was very seri- ously injured by a street car on the Perry and West End line.
 Car No. 48 in charge of Motorman E. M. Parsons and Conductor J. M. Reeves was returning to town at a high rate of speed. The motorman mo- ticed a number of boys playing in the street near the tracks. It is said that the motorman rang his bell and did all that was in his power to stop the rapidly moving car. but all in vain. Young Reynolds either did not hear the motorman's gong or was confused by the shouts of his companions The car struck him, hurling him to the tracks, the wheels passing over his left leg
 The little boy was imme jiately taken to St. Margaret's Hospital where his wounds were dressed. The surgeons could not say whether amputatiop would be necessary or not. He was re- ported as resting well last night.
 Mrs. Reynolds has been hysterical since the accident. The father of the little boy. who is an L. and N. engi- neer, is out of town and has not yet learned of the accident.
 At o'cloc kthe car men were ar- rested and incarcerated in the city prison.

Swiss engineer announces a new fire escape. It consists Of a series of folding ladders. contained in frames, attached to the window cases, each reaching to the window below. By merely turning a small winch on any floor all t. @ frames are pushed out ward from the building, the ladders extended and securely connected with each other thus forming continuous communication rom the top floor to the ground.

TO BUILD NEW ROAD
lItlt,Ill
WORK BEG...s oN EXTENSION OF
 F. & r.
Line Will Connect Pensacola With Mo- bile Bay-McI.aughlin Says It Will He Completed In Nine
 Months.

Pensacola, Fla. June 19.-(Special)
 According to President Mclaughlin, of the Pensacola. and Perdido Rail- road, which now runs about thirty miles northwest of Pensacola, the pro- posed extension of the road to the east ern shore of Mobile Bay will not only be commenced but completed within nine months.
 Surveyors commenced work yester- day and the route of the road Is to be selected at once. Within three weeks the right of way agent will follow and secure deeds to property along the right of way and before the expiration of a month the president proposes to award contracts for embankment work, clearing the right of way, building bridges, furnishing cross ties, rails. etc.
 President Mclaughlin, who has just returned from New York and other cities. after an absence of three weeks, sis a man who is naturally adverse to talking for publication upon any mat ter in which he Is engaged or inter- ested, but so enthusiastic Is he over the extension of his rairoad, that he has given out much information. His plans show that he not only desires to build this road but that he Is in a position to do so, and that he Is now actively engaged in preparing for the commencement of building operations.
 Many persons in this city and sec ton have often spoken of the feasi- bility of the P. & P. extending its tracks to Mobile. but Mir. Mclaughlin never before intimated that he had plans of this character. The company not only owns the road bed for thirty miles towards Mobile. but tracts of land through that section and, after reaching the city, owns possibly /the finest wharf privileges of any company in the city. The present Perdido wharf Is the longest here. and in addition. twenty acres of water front are owned adjoining this wharf, which Mir. Mo- Laughlin proposes to utilize as a site for freight depot and passenger de- pot and for side tracks and storage yards.

Apply fer Franchises.

The application of the Pensacola Electric Company for an extension of its lines to the north and west of the city was given a thorough airing at a meeting of the franchise committee of the city council last night, 10 which body an ordinance granting these priv ilges has been referred. The company has asked for the privilege of running it's track through the center of park way on Garden street. and this has brought about a protest from citizens in general, and at the meeting last night there were many of those in- terested in the beauty of the city present to protect against granting such a right. Everyone who spoke be- fore the meeting, except the manager and attorney, were against such &C., tion, but were not against allowing the company making the extensions de- sired They favored giving 1t the right to use the streets on each side of the parkway.
 During the discussion and speeches, the fact that the company is now us- ing the prettiest parkway of the city, that extending north on Palafox street from Garden to Wright streets, was brought to the attention of the citizens, and unless the council in granting any additional rights agrees not only to amend the ordinances as to Garden street but also compels the company to remove its double tracks on Pala- fox street, there will probably be many protests.

IN TAX APPEALS

The Tax Appeal Court yesterday
handed down decisions in two cases
heard before it, really involving three
appeals. In the first case the J. w.
Museum appealed from assessments on
lands on King street between Nuuanu
at $500; the Assessor raised it to s15,-
600; the tax appeal court fixed the as
sessment at sl1.s40.
In the appeals of H. E. Cooper on
Pearl City property returned at $500
and $4,000; raised by the Assessor to
$3.50 and $4,000, the court fixed the as
sessment at 5000 and $4,000.
Some important compromises were
effected yesterday in appeals from as
sessments. In several tracts of tide
lands owned by the Dowsett Company
at Iwilei. the following were the COM
promises: Land returned at $4,000 and
raised to S2l1,200 was compromised at
$125, 900. Land returned at 1920, raised
to s11,26O, was compromised at s1O,26O.
Land returned at $39,440, raised to
$4,000 was compromised at $44.37O.
Land returned at s2O16, raised to $2560,
was compromised at the owners
figures.
In the o. r. & l.. Co.'S lands near
the channel to Kalihi Bay the Assessor
was unable to make as good a show
ing as to the increased value of the
land. Accordingly land returned at
s11,175, and raised to s10s,500 was COM
promised at s22,350. Land returned at
s14,70 and raised to $30,49O was COM
promised at the owners figures.
In the appeal of the Hawaiian Land
& Improvement Company for land not
FAR from the Hackfeld wharf, the own
sr's figures were accepted. This land
was returned at $4,000 and raised to
'13,O65.

DANCES AND LUAUS
WERE PLENTIFUL

Throughout the city We're minor
dances and luaus in honor of yester-
days holiday in plenty. One of the
rather important events was the luau
and dance of the Hui Kaonohiokala
during the afternoon and evening at
Mrs. Puahis home at Waikiki, at which
the majority of the members of the hui
and many of their friends were present.
A large number of dancers took part
in the shirtwaist dance at the knights
of Pythias Hall, which kept up until
the last cars left the corner of Fort
and King streets. This affair was a
decided success, both from the stand
point of the promoters and the numer-
Gus guests.
The dance at the Seaside was prob
ably the best attended of all. There, in
addition to the large number of dane
ers, all that the large floor space
would accommodate, were hundreds of
others. seated about the grounds and
enjoying the music and the gay scene.
The grounds were beautifully decorated
with colored lights, under which the
band played during the early part Of
the evening. The music for the dance
Itself was furnished by the Ellis Quin-
tet Club.

DECORATE STATUE
WITH MANY LE|S

The most elaborate exercises held
yesterday by any Hawaiian lodge were
those of the Kaahumanu Society which
were held in the forenoon at the Ka-
nehameha statue. The only speaker
was the Rev. S. J. Desha, who. with
his accustomed eloquence, told the Ha-
waiians present, in their native lam
guage. the history of the former ruler
of the islands. He told OF his power,
of his strength of character and firm
ness, and from this asked the people
assembled to draw their own lesson,
namely. that they might initiate every
good trait which they could find in the
great founder of the Hawaiian king
dom.
The exercies OF the Hui Kaonohio-
kala, which also took place at the Ka-
mehameha statue, were more simple I'm
character. though the floral emblems
which they brought to drape the statue
with could scarcely be surpassed In
beauty. The officers of the Hui placed
these garlands on the image of Kane
hameha, while the members of the So
ciety stood silently looking on. The
members afterwards paid visit to
Queen Liliuokalani who received them
graciously.
The Kaonohiokala Pau Riding So
ciety, OF which Mrs. Puahi is the pres.
ident, took prominent part in the cell
ebration of Kamehameha Day. The
members of the club forty strong,
drove from their headquarters at Wal.
XXI yesterday morning to the court
house, where they placed some OF the
finest leis ever made in the island on
the Kamehameha statue and then pro-
ceeded to call on the Queen, who re-
ceived them most graciously.
In the afternoon luau was held at
Mrs Puahi's residence at Waikiki,
where Supervisors Frank Harvey and
Joe Fern. both prominent members of
the club acted in the position of mas
ters of ceremonies. There were nearly
100 present at the luau, which was
served with all the dishes dear to Ha-
waiian taste.
