HAWAIIAN HEIREss
HURT ON COAST

OAKLAND, June 19.-Her first at
tempt to steer an automobile that she
had bought, proved disastrous to Miss
Mildred Homer of 1898 First avenue,
member of a wealthy Hawaiian family,
as she was speeding home through East
Oakland along East Fourteenth street.
She ran the machine into a telegraph
pole and herself, her friend, Miss Isla
Doty of 1876 Twelfth street, and the
chauffeur, John Berry of CSC 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 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 heiress in her own right, only 10
y
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-
i, bile agency that sold the car, was told
to go 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 Horner had taken several les
sons in the meantime, and she felt CON
fdent that she could steer the machine
properly. Accordingly she took the
wheel. All went well until Twenty
third avenue and East Fourteenth
street was reached, when the accident
occurred. just how it happened is II
doubt. Miss Homer says that the steer
ing gear broke, and that it was not hel
fault. The automobile crashed into
telegraph pole near the curb. The en-
tire party was thrown to the pavement
Both women were rendered unconscious
Bystanders rushed them to the re
eeiving hospital, where DR.. A. c. smltf
attended them Both girls were re
stored to consciousness and Miss Hor
ner was taken to Fabiola hospital fo1
further treatment. A pathetic incident
of the accident was that her mother
was already a patient at the hospital
aud the pair were laid side by sld'
there. Miss Horner is expected to re
cover unless further complications Sc
in.
Miss Doty arrived here from Homo
lulu to complete her education. sh'
| lives with her mother and stepfather
Edward L. Horner, whose name she ma
| adopted.

QUESTIONS Or
QUALIFICATION

The following appears as "corre-
spondence in The Nation, addressed
to the editor:
Sir: At meeting of the Twentieth
Century Club of Boston. May %, the
subject of discussion appears to have
been the Hawaiian Islands. Mr.. Cor
ham D. Gilman, according to report
in the Boston morning papers of Mon
day, May 81, said:
The most serious question now
is, whether the Hawaiian people
are capable of self-government. 1t
is doubtful if a legislature COM
posed of them would be able to
enact proper laws at present; but
/ / believe this problem can be work
ed out in time.
The Rev. c. T. Dole, the chief speak
er of the evening, touched upon one
phase of the Hawaiian question, being
thus reported:
A serious difficulty note by DR..
Dole was that concerning the liquor
law. 1t had worked well for one
year. but an attempt to change it
IN FAVOR or the saloons was maUe
in the Legislature last winter by
white men. The Hawaiian native
members of the House. however,
stood together against the change,
and it was defeated.

RAIN IS NEEDED

The need OF rain in this section is quite
evident. The country roads are very dusty,
the surfaces having been powdered by the
passage of many vehicles. Each team
kicks up a great cloud while automobiles
leave wakes that look as if a cyclone had
been at work. The grass on many Of the
lawns about the city is beginning to show
the effect of the dry weather and is turn
ing yellow. 1t is rather early in the sea-
son for lawns to begin to show the effect
OF the lack Of water.
Several things have contributed to cre-
ate the present conditions. There has not
been very much rain. there have been
some hot days. and there has been alto
gether too much wind The winds this
summer have been unusually persistent
and they have quickly dried from the sur
face what moisture has fallen. Farmers
who are busy with their haying do not OBJ
iect to the dry weather at this time, and
people who are trying to save their lawns
have recourse to sprinkling.
The unusually cool and pleasant weather
that has prevailed during the month leads
people to forget that there have not been
very heavy rainfalls during the latter part
of the spring. People are happy TO think
that the terrible temperatures Of the lat-
ter part Of June did not hold on indeh-

PENNSY FINISHES
TWO MOREITUNNELS

The Pennsylvania Railroad has COM
pleted the construction of its tunnels
under Bergen Hill and the Hudson
River into its station at Seventh ave-
nue. and Thirty-third street, New York
city. The final inspection has just
heen made by Samuel Rea, second
vice-president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and Charles NJ.
Jacobs. Chief Engineer of the North
River Division. and the work has been
pronounced in condition to proceed
with electrification, signaling, anil
track laying. This will be undertaken
Immediately and pushed forward as
vigorously as possible.
The Hackensack portal is located
6.1 miles from the junction with the
main line at Harrison, just east OF
Newark. n. ]. A temporary track has
been installed on the embankmenl
from Harrison to the portal. and ma
terials for the track laying will be
carried over this line and into the tun-
nels. thus avoiding the Inconvenience
to the public OF having this material
carted across Manhattan Island.
Thus eliminates the construction
work on the first two tunnels to b.
built for trunk line service under th,
Hudson River. The first excavation
was begun May 12. 1905. The nortl
tunnel was Joined on September -

First Step Taken on Big
Waterway Project On
Boston End

What was probably the first step in
the construction Of the billion dollar IN
tracoastal waterway from Boston TO New
Orleans was taken at the former city on
Saturday by Lieutenant Colonel Edward
Burr United States engineer for the
Boston district. who. with six crews.
started to make a survey over the pro-
posed route between Boston and Taun-
ton. These crews consist Of surveymen.
rodmen and laborers. An appropriation
survey. The building Of the canal will
not uctually begin until ongress makes
the necessary appropriation. An idea OF
what such a tremendous undertaking will
cost can be had from the estimate OF
$50, 900 for the construction of the canal
from Boston to Taunton Naval officers are
now preparing plans on what will be
the least depth through which a battle
ship can pass. The object Of the inland
waterway route is to enable mariners to
avoid the dangerous waters around such
points as Cape Hatteras. which necessi-
tate ships going far out to sea and los
ing considerable time II is also ex-
pected that II will develop sections OF
the country throught which II will pass
and assist i'm uuiting the North and
South commercially.
The route tentatively planned is as rol-
lows: Boston to Taunton, to the pro.
tected waters Of Narragansett Bay
through the ponds and lagoons lying
along the southern coast OF Rhode Is

thence through the Delaware and Chesa

GREAT LABOR FIGHT.

THE Amalgamated Association of Steel
\ Workers is engaged in what promises to
be one of the most bitter of disputes between la
Dor and capital. The association is one of the
strongest of the labor organizations and its op-
ponent is one of the greatest of the combna-
tons of capitalize steel trust. The fight for
the association is vital and in fact it IS very inn
portant to all branches of organized labor. 1t
has until recently been assumed that the rea-
tons between the steel trust and its employees
were satisfactory. Enjoying the benefits Of
high protective tariff, the trust has built up an
immense industry making millionaires as well
as Steel in fact, producing that rare specimen,
the "Pittsburg millionaire Naturally the men
who have created the greater part of this wealth
want their share of it--as much as they can get.
And the trust wants still more
So the trust intends TO break up the associa-
ton if possible, in order that wages can be
hammered down and still greater wealth flow
into the Golfers of the steel magnates. If It sue
ceeds in so doing the trust will have clear field
free from obstacles. Enjoying the favor OF the
government charging what prices it pleases Tor
its product and giving the workingmen what 1t
chooses-the trust would be able to heap up It's
millions faster than ever. 1t is indeed battle
for millions Like the hog, the trust has capa-
ciOue annette.
