Weekly Letter of Won
Hamm-YOung Company

The Won Hamm-Young Company
were fortunate enough to receive a
shipment Of nine automobiles on ;ha
last Sierra" Although the cars weIc
on deck and the ship had an extreme
ly rough trip, the machines came
through in fine shape. The shipment
consisted of four Bucks, two Pack
ards, one Kissel Kar and one Over
land
The Bucks We're the first of the new
1912 cars of this make to arrive in
Honolulu, and they caused great
deal of commotion on the dock, as
many people were very eager to see
the new models. So anxious were a
number of interested parties that they
assembled around the old Sierra and
waited until midnight just to see the
cars as they were unloaded The
shipment Of Bucks consisted of two
Model "a Runabouts, one Model %
Runabout, and one Model % Touring
Car The Model "a Runabouts Great
ed an amazing amount Of interest, as
they are so well adapted to Honolulu
conditions and are an entirety new
type of car. This model has the same
attractive valve in the head type" of
motor, for which the Buick has been
so famous for the past five years. This
type of Buick motor is one of the
trimmest and most satisfactorily de
signed engines ever installed in an
automobile The new features applied
to the new 1912 motor are a different
and more stationary push road guide
and a different angle for the spark
plug setting which places the plugs in
more accessible position The
clutch this year is of the leather-faced
cone type Of large magnitude The
transmission is the vital spot where
the Bucks have made a very great
change, as they have embodied the Sc
lectiye type, three-speed form Of gear
set, which places the car in another
class, although at practically no ad-
vance in price. The body has the
fore door straight dash design with an
undivided front seat The gasoline
tank is on the frame behind the seat,
with a ruomy tool box on the rear.
Very powerful brakes are employed,
consisting of one internal eNpanding
and one external contracting band on
each rear hub. The radiator Is placed
a uihe back of the front axle, and
the front springs extend unusually far
ahead Of the axle giving the car the
long rake which is so effective i'm the
makeup Of a Runabout. This car
fully equipped, including top, wind
shield, Presto-lite tank, etc, is to sell
for Sl05o laid down in Honolulu.
The Model 2S Runabout is a larger
and heavier car of the same type, hav-
ing a torpedo dash and a larger en-.
CINE than the Model a. This car is
painted in a rich wine color, trimmed
with black, and presents an extremely
stylish appearance as we'll as being "A
seryiceable type for touring or any
other kind of hard road work The
true value Of this car can be readily
appreciated when it is announced that
it was purchased at once by Mr. J. p.
Lynch, president of the Lynch com
pany, the prominent commission mer

crowding pedestrians and wagons and
menacing the general public at large
the rest of the drivers would not be
so censured. Here is where Honolulu
has a weak spot. 1t should have q
strong automobile club to take care
of just such cases and see to it that
the laws are enforced where they
should be, and that laws are compiled
to protect the autoist who is trying
to conform with the rules and regula-
tons and not be arrested for some
slight violation of a misconstructed

The terrible accident on King
street on Saturday night is just an
other sample of where the multitude
suffers for the few. There are a few
very unmanly drivers in Honolulu,
who are a most lawless set. This few
may be counted on the finger tips, and
are responsible for the rapid fire con
domination of the automobile in public.
This is the outfit which is causing

ing victory in the season of 1912.
The Kissel Kar which arrived in
this shipment was 80 horsepower
five-passenger touring car with hooded
dash. This car has the same powerful
engine which the Kissels have gained
such a splendid reputation with. 1t is
an extremely easy riding car, as the
springs are unusually soft, the tires
large, the upholstering especially
deep, and is completely fitted with
shock absorbers all around. 1t is
equipped with single pane wind
shield, demOuntable rims, 35X4 12-inch
tires, Presto-lite tank and four door
The upholstering is thicker and more

ket, and when all these features are
taken into consideration we realize
that this new car is going to the front
very rapidly.

A seven-Mile Viaduct.

The longest of the viaducts over the
open sea-that at Long KEYS near
ly seven miles from end to end, 1t
has 1856 arches. Some idea of the
proportions of the undertaking may
be gained from the statement that
this one viaduct used up $4,000 bar
rels of cement $4,000 cubic yards of
crushed rock, 100000 cubic yards of
sand, $4,000 lineal feet of piling, s.
700 tons of reinforcing rods and 2
100000 feet of dressed lumber for
arch forms.
The longest stretch of track on any
one of the keys is sixteen miles. For
long stretches the tracks are shaded
by waving forests of cocoanut palm,
which, with the dazzling white of the
coral, makes an enchanting scene.
The new road will make Key West,
for all practical purposes, part of
the mainland and it's harbor one Of
the most important in the United
States after the opening of the Pan
anna Canal, being, as it is, on the di-
rect new artificial artery of com
merce.
Also, the extension is the last link
at the South of the great through rail
road service along the Atlantic coast
1t will now be possible to take train
in Maine and, sitting in the same car,
travel all the way to the southern
most point on the eastern coast of
North America.

The engineers estimates were that
the feat would cost $15,O0O,OOO. 1t has
cost much more than that, and the Of
ficials of the road several times were
obliged to negotiate loans of millions
in order to ensure it's completion.
Since work was begun in 1905, i'm
mense pile drivers have been sinking
foundations, huge dredges have been
sucking up sand from the bottom Of
the sea to construct a roadbed, and an
army of between 5000 and 1000 men
has been pushing its way steadily
southwark from Miami out over the
waves and tiny islands toward Key
West.
The difficulties were so many and
the problems so unusual that it was
necessary to assemble steamboats,,
tugs, lighters, hundreds of barges,
launches, floating derricks, pumps,
pile drivers and repair shops for the
work.
A wide swath had to be cut through
many of the islands, while others had
to be laboriously built up from below

nearly one hundred voices. The jun

Last night the tent was filled with
people who had come to hear the
evangelist. The best of order was pre-
served and after a lively song service
the preacher continued his Sunday
night theme on "Self-Sacrifice." He
spoke at length on how members Of
the churches suffer in order to be
worldly while they let any trifie keep
them from their religious duty. He
spoke plainly and told the people that
many of them were in the church with
out Knowing Christ in salvation. He
calls spade a spade, but he is SO
much in earnest that the people are
not offended by it, He condemns sin
and worldliness in no uncertain terms.

TITANIC SANK WITH

Yesterdays Reports Erroneous. Women and

last night. Such weather conditions
leave little hope for the rescue of any
survivors still sdrift on RATS or in
life boats.
The CarpatLia wired New York this
morning that she would select this
port rather than some nearer harbor
on account of the great quantities of
ice. The Carpathia was then in field
OF ice twenty miles in diameter, con-
tanning several icebergs.
The Partisan, one of the steamers
on which rescue hopes were pinned,
reached wireless communication this
forenoon, reporting no survivors
aboard. The Virginia, which carried
even higher hopes, merely wired that
she arrived on the scene of the dis
aster too late to be of service, and
that she (the Virginian) is preceding
on her way to Liverpool.
Millet, the famous painter. may be
among the saved, as a name resem.
bling his was wired from the Car
pahtia.
A message from the Cape Race wire
less station seems to indicate that a
large majority of the men who were
on the Titanic went down with the
ship. The Carpathia messages picked
up at Cape Race say all the boats
launched by the Titanic have been
accounted for and that these boats
were filled mostly by women, but with
sufficient number of the crew to
man them.
The steamer Parsean ploughed
through much heavy ice in searching
for survivors and also she sighted
much floating wreckage covering q
large area. She did not sight one liv
ing person or even dead body.
The loss of life at noon was esti
mated at about 1850.
Searching steamers reported the
weather so cold that even if they had
clung to bits of wreckage the sur
vivors in the open sea would have
perished.

lBy Associated Press.l

New York, April 16.-Yesterday's
report that there was no loss Of life
on the Titanic was erroneous. The
Titanic sank at 2:2o Monday morning,
three hours and fifty-five minutes after
hitting the iceberg. The death list is
now believed to be 1900.
This mornings wireless brought the
news that apparently all the wives and
children of famous men aboard had
been saved, but not one word was
there to show that any notable man
had escaped. Alfred G. Vanderbilt, re-
ported yesterday on the Titanic, was
not aboard the ill-fated vessel.
The Carpathia arriving at daylight,
the first rescue vessel on the scene,
reports by wireless that scores of life
boats, containing mostly women and
children, were all the traces of the
Titanic that could be discovered.
A meagre wireless description says
many of the passengers had retired
Just before the crash. Scores were
hurdled into life boats scantily clad.
Huge quantities of water filled with
ice made it almost impossible for the
life boat crew to prevent them cap
sizing. Large pieces of floating ice
separated the boats, giving a faint
hope that the Carpathia may not have
found all. Spectators assert that the
Titanic in the final plunge carried
down hundreds.
In New York society and famous
people are besieging the steamship
offices, either in person or by te.e
phone, seeking news OF relatives sad
friends who were passengers on the
Titanic.
The steamers Californian and Vir
ginian, arriving later in the day where
the Titanic sank, searched for sur
vivors. There is hope that the Vir-
ginian may have survivors aboard.
The money loss is nearly $20,0OO,-
900, half on the ship and half on its
cargo and passengers effects.
Practically all hope was abandoned
Of any survivors except those aboard
the Carpathia when shortly before 10
o'clock this morning a steamer known
to be in search where the Titanic was
sunk reported by wireless that she
had no survivors.
The survivors aboard the Carpathia
number S66.
Yesterdays reports that all were
saved were probably due to messages
sent from the Titanic Immediately
after the collision while hope was still
high.
Not until last night did any vessel
with sufficiently powerful wireless ap-
paratus to flash the news learn the
extent of the disaster.
Among the known survivors on the
Carpathia is the bride of John Jacob
Astor, who was Miss Madelaine Force.
Bruce Ismay, president of the Inter
national Mercantile Marine, which
owned the Titanic, is among the sur.
vivors on the Carpathia.
Capt e. ]. Smith, commander of the
Titanic, went to his watery grave with
his vessel. That he and his crew rig.
idly enforced the unwriten law of the
sea is shown by women and children
being first placed in life boats, which
is indicated by the few names OF men
rescued in the list of the Carpathia's s
survivors sent by wireless.

was the first ship sunk on her maiden
voyage.
