IMPROVEMENT IN
AUTOMOBILE VICTIMS
fConrlnued From Page One.)

Jim Quinn was somewhat bruised
and shaken up and is at his home.
Julius Bayer, of the steamship office
Of H. Hackfeld & Co., was on duty
yesterday as usual, but with plaster
on his face where his cuts were COW
cred.
AS to the autos, all were removed to
the Won Hamm- Dung repair garage.
Jim Quinn's car which was burned by
the gasoline, was a wreck, mere
mass of twisted iron. The flames did
their work thoroughly, and the ma
chine looks as it were material for the
scrap heap. 1t was viewed by scores
of auto enthusiasts and wonder was
expressed as to whether it could ever
be repaired.
Quinn's was a $4,000 car and in ten
minutes was reduced to a nominal
value. It is believed the car was I'M
insured. Many of the cars which are
for hire at the garages are insured
only when they are standing under the
sheds or in the repair garages. The
moment they leave the sheds, the in
surance is off. ~
Harold Castles car which was used
up at the Hackfeld corner on Fort
street was not a wreck by any means,
but the rear and right hand sides
were crushed in.
Strangely enough stevens Stoddard-
DAYTON which overturned on the Mo-
analua road was damaged least of all.
The glass guard and the top hamper
were demolished but beyond this there
was little injury.
Mr.. Stevens scouts the story in the
Star that he was endeavoring to frame
up a story TO give to the newspapers
as to how the accident happened. As
a matter Of fact an Advertiser re-
porter. with some of Stevens friends,
were in his room in the Progress Block
when some one phoned him that an
Advertiser man was on the way, and
for him TO Keep the story down. F."
Stevens replied: Let him come on
up. I'll give him the story straight.
Sure. I'll tell it to him just as it hap
pened What's the use telling any
thing else?" Stevens was not aware
that an Advertiser man was then in
his room.
stevens is not a new man. in Ho-
nolulu, but he is new in the auto bust
ness. He has been in the islands for
about three years and has been with
the Honolulu Iron Works for a long
time.
In all there were sixteen persons in
all three automobiles. 1t is strange
that none were killed outright.
Ten o. m-The condition of Captain
Johnson, though better, is such that
he will not be able to take the Hilo-
MAN out this week for San Francisco.
Reports from the hospital indicate
that there is Improvement in the cases
Of all the victims.
Supervisor Quinn, who was at the
wheel of the Peerless machine which
was demolished at the Hackfeld wharf,
is confined to his home on account of
injuries received and no one is per-
mitted TO see him He is said to be
more hurt than at first supposed as
he was damned by the wheel.

nothing as yet in the situation to cause
any apprehension. Sugar is moving
freely, with the stocks on hand not
unnecessarily large. There has been
an echo of the Oahu strike sentiment
on Maui and Hawaii, but the laborers
there seem to prefer letting the Oahu
men do the fighting. The chances of
the strike spreading to the other is
lands seem to be lessening.
Good reports come from the tobacco
fields Writing from the plantation of
the Hawaiian Tobacco Company, on
Thursday, c.. r. Blacow states: I'VE
are now cutting 250 pounds of green
leaf daily. We had one leaf yesterday
seventeen inches wide and twenty-five
inches long. I never saw a wider leaf.
The tobacco grows faster than weeds,
as we have but little hoeing.'
The pineapple crop is in excellent
shane, with every prospect of good
yield

only a few of these, however, the main

4 general opinion seems to exist that
these trees viii be ready for CONNER
cial tapping this fall, an altogether
mistaken superstition. If they were,
it would be miraculous and the day of
miracles on Maui has passed. The
growth being made by the trees is
very satisfactory to those in charge
and quite as good as could be hoped

There were six sparrows living in
