Mr.. Gilman in an auto had acci-
dentally struck the car a few seconds
before the boy fell from it,. Whether
or net the boy had been struck by
the auto is a question not yet clearly
settled. Mr. Gilman's auto, so far IS
he knows, cid not strike the boy. On
the other hand, witnesses say there is
some ground for benef that the auto
struck the boy, who, according to the
crew of the car, was sitting on the
running board
Mr.. Gilman left his house, a short
distance up Piikoi. from the Wilder
avenue line, at 7:45 o'clock. He had
just backed out, turned around and
started down street, intending to cross
the Wnder line, which runs at across
Piikoi at this point. A hedge blocks
the view from Piikoi westward on
Wiloer avenue, and as Mr.. Gilman
reached Wilder avenue. he saw the

Worker
WITH TROUBLE
IN SECURING TRACT
viii Ask Government for Site
if Unable to Make Other
Arrangements

Social workers at Palama Settle

noting sentiment in favor of estab
fishing a children's playground on
Punchbowl Hill, where, according tC
the settlement workers who are in
charge of the Punchbowl dispensary
congestion is worse and relief from
present conditions is more urgent
than in any other part of the city.
At the present time, the children of
the Portuguese colony have no place
to play except the narrow lanes and
the small spaces between the cottages
and tenements which have been built
for capacity rather than comfort.
According to those who have made
investigation of conditions there,
there are several hundreds of child
rem in the colony and these children
have absolutely no place for recrea-
tion. The Boys Field is too far away
to be reached by walking and Palama
settlement house is long distance
away, too, and as the children have
no money for carfare they are un-
able to go anywhere to gain relief or
enjoy the recreation to which they
are entitled
No Fun for Children.
AS result of the appeals from the
dispensaT'y workers who are thrown
into daily contact with conditions and
of the pleadings of the children them
selves. Head Worker James Rath is
hard at work trying to push the pro.
ject through without further delay.
and establish breathing place where
the youngsters can play as. often and
as long as they like.
Rath has been hindered by the
scarcity of land, as nearly every bit
of ground is utilized either by a cot
tage or tenement or the owner of the
property does not desire to have il
used for aepublic playground.

Rath while. discussing the PROPOSE

YACHT HAWAII
HELD winner
OVER LURLINE
Official Report of Finish at Hi
10 cincheS Win for Homo
lulu Boat
COL UMBIAN OFFICERS
CAUGHT TIME OF RACE
Victory Due to crozier'S Ability
and Good knowledge of
Conditions

There is now no further doubt o
the yacht Hawaii's victory over the
Lurline in the Honolulu1Iilo race
which finished early last Tuesda,
morning. Close on the heels of ths
! wireless message announcing the wiz
of the local yacht, came a profess
from Captain Harris of the San Diego
schooner, alleging that he had crossed
the finish line first, but that his sig
nails had not been noted by the
watchers.
This morning H. A. Armitage, sec
retary OF the regatta committee ol
the Hawaii Yacht Club, received the
Official report of the finish from Hilo
which cinches the win of the Homo
lulu boat.
The letter, which is from r. +.
Ralding, who was asked to make ar
rangements for catching the time of
the yachts at the finish, reads as fol
lows:
Hawaii Flashed Signals.
At 1910 a. m. the yacht Hawaii
flashed her red light off the whistling
buoy, apparently close in, also ex-
Ploded or made some noise signals,
and at 12:47 a. m passed across our
bow to starboard. At 1857 a. m.
the yacht Lurline passed in by US to
port and around our stern and came
70 lanehof1 - - - gls& 4
'sThe above the report of the finish
of the yacht race, made by Captain
T. p. Colcord, of the S. s. Columbian.
The Columbian was anchored in
Hilo bay very close to the whistling
buoy, and Captain Colcord very kind
ly offered to keep a lookout for the
yachts and take their time should
they arrive during the night. Captain
Colcord stayed on the bridge himself,
and had two quartermasters with him
so there should be no doubt of his de-
cision being correct.
Neither Captain Colcord nor the
quartermasters saw any light signal
flashed from the Lurline as she came
in"
Sailed Clever Race.
The Hawaii Herald says:
by d0using her lights just at the
last hour and using all his knowledge
of sailing a yacht to best advantage,
Capt. Geo. Crozier brought the yacht
Hawaii across the line ten minutes
ahead of the Lurline which was in
command of Captain Lew Harris.
After the boys came on shore Cap
tain Harris claimed the win, stating.
that he had got here two hours ahead
of the Hawaii but the figures taken
by Captain Colcord and two quarter
masters from the bridge of the
steamer Columbian, which was lying
at anchor in the bay showed that the
Hawaii crossed over at 1884 a. m. and
that the Lurline followed suit ten
later.
Officers of the Mauna Kea report
that the Lurline sailed from Hilo for
San Diego Thursday afternoon, and
that the Hawaii left for Kahului the
same day. The local yacht is expect
ed to reach this port tomorrow.
