AUTOMOBILE
ACCIDENT
MR.. DUISENBERG'S BUGGY is
WRECKED ON WAIKIKI ROAD
AND HIMSELF INJURED.

Last night Ed Duisenberg was run
down. while driving on the Waikiki
road, by the Kissel car driven by
Frank Lewis. Mr.. Duisenberg was
taking Miss Roth to her home at Kaa-
laval and both were violently thrown
out of the buggy, which was COM
pletely wrecked by the collision. Miss
Roth escaped with a severe shock a
confused cheek and blacKened eye, but
Mr.. Duisenberg was unconscious when
picked up. He was conveyed to the
Queens Hospital, where he was found
to be not badly hurt and is resting
easy to day.
When the car had demolished the
buggy it skidded against the malai
fence, throwing its occupants into a
duck pond beyond. They escaped with
slight bruises. The accident was wit
which proves that it occurred before
midnight and not after as the morn
ing paper states. Also Mr. Duisenberg
was driving on the right side of the
road-cOntrary to the account given
to the morning paper-which is evil
dent enough from the fact that the
automobile crashed into the fence on
that side after demolishing the buggy.
Whether or not another automobile
just ahead of that of Mr.. Lewis mar
rowly avoided hitting the buggy APP
pears immaterial to Mr.. Duisenberg,
who stated at the hospital this morn
ing that the car that upset him was
going too fast 70 rthOse in it to know
what was ahead of them.
Bert Lloyd, who left Waikiki at
HOS on a street car, saw the colli-
sion. He was seen this forenoon and
said:
'Mr. Duisenberg was driving a lit
tie to the right of the middle of the
road. He had a perfect right to be
where he was.
"The buggy passed the car and di-
rectly afterward an automobile whizz-
ed past. Then a short distance be-
hind, about as far as from Merchant
to Queen street, a second automobile
flew past. The next thing we heard a
crash and saw the mixup a short way
ahead.
"The automobile that did the mis-
chief was running, l should say
eighty-five miles an hour. One of
those thrown out went up to Miss
Roth and began to argue with her
that the buggy had been on the wrong
side of the road"
