AUTOMOBILE VICTIMS
trrOm Sundays Adverti.er.l

Four Victims OF the three automo-
bile accidents OF Friday evening were
under treatment at the Queens Hos
pital yesterday and of these, three are
in a serious condition.
Captain Peter Johnson, master of
| the Matson liner Hilonian, during the
earlier part OF the day was bleeding
from one ear and seemed to have sus-
tanned fracture at the base of the
| skull.
Howard Hedemann was more dam
gerously hurt than was first supposed
| and he was unconscious most of tho
| night and yesterday forenoon from
| conclusion of the brain. Other COM
plications are feared.
Mrs. Thomas Greene, the passenger
of the Chlyo Maru who was pinned
| underneath the wreck of Supervisor
Jim Quinn's Peerless car, rested easily
yesterday but her injuries were pain
| full and she was unable to proceed on
| the Chiyo Maru for the Coast when
| that vessel left at noon.
Sam Walker, as before stated sus-
| tanned broken leg and painful con-
| tusions on his head and face.
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-Young repair garage.
Jim Quinn's car which was burned by
the gasoline, was wreck, a mere
mass of twisted iron. The flames did
their work thoroughly, and the ma
chine looks as 1t We're material for the
scrap heap. 1t was viewed by scores
of auto enthusiasts and wonder was
expressed as to whether 1t could ever
be repaired.
Quinns was $4,000 car and in ten
minutes was reduced to nominal
value. 1t is believed the car was un'
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 Haclfeld corner on Fort
street was not n 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 ther'
: was little injury
