THE FATE OF MISS HAWKINS.

It's established beyond doubt that
Miss Myrtle Hawkins, the 17-year-old
girl of Hendersonville, N. c., whose
dead body was found in Lake Osceola
Sunday morning, came to her death at
the hands OF another or others. In all
probability more than one person had
something to do with the crime. 1t
was learned yesterday that the death
of the girl resulted from an overdose OF
some drug, and that an attempt bad
been made to perform an illegal opera
.. ton. Evidence OF this nature was pre-
sented to the coroner's jury.
Last Thursday when the members OF
her family say Miss Hawkins left home
for the last time. she was seen by sew
eral persons in the company OF young
man whose name is withheld. She was
seen the same day sitting alone on a
rock on the bank OF the lake. 1t was
reported last night that pices OF JeWelry
we're found in the woods near the spof
where the murder occurred.
The guilty person is as yet unldentl-
fed, but members OF the family and
the officers are hopeful OF solving the
mystery soon. A Hendersonvllle resi-
dent is under suspicion.
Miss Hawkins left home Thursday
morning ostensibly to visit a friend,
but investigation later developed the
fact that she never reached the friends
house. Mr., Hawkins, prominent
business man of Hendersonvllls, did
not notify the authorities, but made
quiet search until Sunday noon, think
ing his daughter had possibly eloped
with Hal Cooper, a young business
man of Johnson City, Tenn, to whom
she was engaged to be married iearly
this fall.
The body was hidden in the brush by
the lake until early Sunday evening,
when it was carried to the place where
it was found face downward 10 three
feet of water.
The father mas wired for detectives
and will offer q large reward fJr the
apprehension OF her slayer. Last
night one Of the leading citizens started
q movement to raise 81 900 by popular
and to offer this as re-
ward in the name OF the town. The
county commissioners will add to these
amounts, and the state will be asked to
DO the same thing. Il
Miss Hawkins body is to be exhumed
and a second. and more searching
autnpsy is to be made.

The automobile departments of the
Won Hamm- Young Company present
ed an animated and very busy ap.
pearance during the week Another
record was made by the arrival OF
eleven new cars, eleven of which
came i'm on the Honolulan, including
one of the celebrated 1912 seven-pas-
senger Packard touring cars, one Of
the beautiful six-cylinder torpedo
Stevens Duryea's, one of the siX-cylin-
der seven-passeuger Steyens-Duryeas,
and four of the much heralded Bucks.
The Sierra on the following day
brought four Of the popular Cadillacs,
The fye-p passenger siX-cylinder
Stevens Duryea torpedo is one of the
prettiest, if not one of the most beau
tiful cars ever landed here. 1t is
the first of the torpedo type Stevens
to reach Honolulu. The straight line
effect, the beautiful curved dash, the
low-hung appearance of the car
throughout, and the torpedo shape
classes this car among the raciest
looking Sud most up to date designed
cavs built today.
Mr.. Francis Gay of Kauai, the pur-
chaser Of this car, ordered same after
looking through a great many of the
factories on the mainland, deciding on
this model not only as being the
most serviceable but as being the
prettiest care which he saw during
his travels on the mainland.
Aside from the beautiful appear
ance of this torpedo it is most up to
in its equipment, including combina-
ton electric and oil side and tail
lamps, special designed aceylene
headlights, prestolite tank, tire irons,
coat rail, foot rest, shock absorbers,
demountable detachable rims, etc.
The Stevens-D uryea has proven itself
here, as well as on the mainland, one
Of the best wearing cars. In fact the
first Stevens-Duryea cars imported to
Honolulu are still doing good work
today, although the first importation
dates back seven years Some of the
particular features of construction Of

hours were spent in demonstrating be-
fore the road trip was resumed.
Springfield was reached at 1880 in the
evening. At $3.50 the next morning
the start for Worcester was made.
After an hour there the last leg of the
journey was begun and the truck drew
in at Boston at D. m, the running
time having been exactly twenty
hours Had there been no demon
strating done at any of the places
along the route, the truck could have
reached Worcester early in the even
ing of the first day out and the run to
Boston completed during the evening
or by noon Saturday.
The Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Com
pany has never been known as a con
Germ that plans spectacular runs or
has its cars do stunts" and for that
reason the run from New York to
Boston cannot be looked on in that
| light However, the run is bound to be
a notable one in many respects, for
these reasons if no others
1t was the first long distance tour
of any kind completed by worm
driven car in this country
1t demonstrated conclusively that
motor trucks have now reached q
point where the factor of possible me
i chanical trouble may be disregarded
as not tool was touched to the truck
during the run or in the week spent in
demonstrating work in Boston in the
week following.
1t was shown that in the event of g
tie-up in other means of transportation
/ the motor may be relied on for inter
city hauling, the service being per
! formed at least as quickly and quite
probably with more speed than is pos
sible by rail or water freight routes
For instance, load taken on at
/ o'clock Thursday evening at New York
may be delivered in Boston at 9 or II
