GIRL STEERS new
AUTOCAR INTO POLE.
Hawaiian ieiress and Friends
Seriously Hurt in
y Oakland

OAKLAND, June 19.-Her first at
tempt to steer an automobile that she
had bought. proved disastrous to Miss
Mildred Horner of 1898 First avenue. a
member of a wealthy Hawaiian family
as she was speeding home through East
Oakland along East Fourteenth street
She ran the machine into telegraph
pole and herself, her friend, Miss Isla
Doty of 1875 Twelfth street, and the
chauffeur. John Berry of 6S6 Twenty
fourth street, were thrown out
Miss Horner is seriously hurt. Her
skull is probably fractured; her nose
is broken; her foot is broken, and she
sustained besides many severe bruises
about the body. Miss Doty escaped
with a cut lip and a badly bruised
body Berry's shoulder blade was
broken.
The automobile was a new one
bought yesterday by Miss Horner. who
is an heiTess in her own right, only 19
years of age. Her companion, Miss
Doty. is 20 Both are students at the
Oakland high school. After Miss Hor-
ner had bought the machine she
wanted to be taught how to run it,
Berry, who is employed by the automo-
bile agency that sold the car, was told
TO so along with the girls and teach
them. All last evening the automobile
was run along the roads outside of
Oakland, until. shortly after midnight,
the party started for home.
MiSs Herner had taken several les
sons i'm the meantime, and she felt
confident that she could steer the ma
chine properly Accordingly she took
the wheel All went well until Twen-
ty-third avenue and East Fourteenth
street was reached, when the accident
occurred. Just how it happened is in
doubt Miss Horner says that the
steering gear broke, and that it was
not her fault The automobile crashed
into a telegraph pole near the curb
The entire party was thrown to the
pavement Both women were rendered
unconscious.
Bystanders rushed them to the re-
ceiying hospital, where Dr. A. c.. Smith
attended them. Both girls were re-
stored to consciousness and Miss Hor-
ner was taken to Eabiola hospital for
further treatment. A pathetic incident
of the accident was that her mother
was already a patient at the hospital
and the pair were laid side by side
there Miss TTOrner is expected To
recover unless further complications
set in.
Miss poty arrived here from Homo
lulu to complete her education. She
lives with her mother and stepfather,
Edward l.. Horner. whose name she has

YOUNG MAN IS FOUND
DEAD IN BATHROOM
Autopsy to Determine the Exact
Cause of Sudden Demise

OAKLAND. June 19.-Three possible
causes have been advanced for the sud
den death Of Howard Schnelli. who was
found dead this afternoon in bath
tub at 1855 Brush street. 1t is believed
by the coroner's attaches that Schnelli
died Of heart disease, but the body was
found with the head submerged, which
may have been the cause of drowning
while the young man was suffering.
The third theory is ssphyxiation. A
small gas heater in the bathroom was
found 10 be leaking when the remains
were discovered and ii is said enough
OF the gas was in the room TO cause
Inconsistencies or death.
