FUTILE BROTHERS MAY
BE RIVALS OF WRlGHTS

What, aeroplanes in Honolulu Yes,
two Of tbem' And what is more, they
were made right here in the city.
Two ingenious boys, Malcolm Harley
futile, aged fourteen, and Ebert Parr
futile, aged twelve, OF 1871 Keean-
molxo street, are The designers Of one
Of the machines and the makers Of
both. One of these aeroplanes was
exhibited Thursday at the closing exer-
ciscs of the Punahou Preparatory
School. 1t is modelled after the Wright
brothers flyer, though only one-tenth
as large, and IS complete in every de
tail except the engine. The boys were
unable to get an engine that would
fit the aeroplane az regards size and
weight
Some time ago they made their first
machine and experimental with it sew
eral times It would fly for a consid-
cradle distance, but some of the ma
terials Of which it was constructed
were too heavy. At the present time
they are altering it so as to make it
light enough to glide through the air
like a bird. They are confident they
viii have no trouble in building a prac-
teal machine of that size
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1910-06-19

The materials used in constructing
the flyers were silk cloth. fine wire and
bamboo. Every piece was made with
the exactitude of a skilled inventor.
The steering gear, which is the most in
tricate part of the mechanism of an
aeroplane, can be manipulated per
fectly.
The first machine built by the two
boys IS much larger than the last one
It was by means Of a rubber spring
they were able to make it fly. They
hope to make a still larger aeroplane
in the near future and fit it up with an
engine
The Youngsters have been at work
on their machines for about two
months. They have studied aviation
for more than year, and have become
familiar with the feats of Curtiss,
BIeriot, paulhan and the Wright
brothers. Many persons familiar with
tbeir accomplishments assert that they
are prodigies, and that they doubtless
will perform some original work in
aviation. The boys themselves are en-
thusiasts, and they say it is their in
tention to continue the study of the
scienc of aviation.
They are the sons of Mr.. and Mrs.

troubles to the rolice officers used that
name.
When the physicians examined Gar
land this morning and asked him if the
woman was his wife he replied that she
was. Asked her name he replied that
it was Ida May Garland. Then the
woman objected.
My name is not Garland, it is Her
rick she said.
This was supposed, of course, to be
another result of the insanity for which
she was being tried But the woman
would not listen to the statement that
everything would be all right

Were you ever married TO this wo-
man, asked one of the examining board
of Garland and the latter confessed
that he was not married to the woman
but had been boarding with her.
Mrs. Herrick has imagined that
people with a new religion were in
Seabrook and that they preached a free
love doctrine. She also ina gined that
their meetings kept up night and day.
Another Of her specialties was hearing
voices.
People talk to me right in the same
room with me" she said. Il can hear
them but 1 can't sec them. Then the
neighbOrs ask me to come over, and tell

PEOPLE GO TO COURT.
Enjoin City Railway From Placing
Tracks on Buchanan Street.

Declaring that because of the COM
mission form of government which was
adopted by the voters of the city last
November the city council and mayor,
during the closing days of the last city
administration, had no right to grant
the new franchise to the Topeka street
railway company, William Nelson, Mol
lie G. Myers and David Orr have filed
suit in the district court asking an ir-
junction to prevent street car tracks
from being laid on Buchanan street as
provided in the franchise recently
granted to the corporation named.
The petition, which is a lengthy af-
fair, shows the contention of the plain
tiffs to be that the mayor and city
council acted in violation and defiance
of the commission act in granting the
franchise without fixing the fare to he
charged by the railway company, or
without STIMULATING some kind of COM
pensation to be received by the city.
An injunction asking that the street
railway company and the city be re-
