Motorized Section OF Depart
ment Shows Speed in
Fine Exhibition

As a spectacular exhibition the run
of Honolulu'S new automobile fire ap-
paratuS to the capitol square at 9
O'Clock this morning was q huge sue
cess, witnessed, by large crowd OF
people who had risen early on New
Years morning to make a full day of
the holiday or had remained up all
night TO celebrate the occasion in he
manner they deemed most proper.
For nearly ten minutes, Just after
9 o'clock, King street was filled with
rushing motor cars, a.. conYerging at
a point directly in front Of the box
ut the Opera House where Fire Chhf
ThurSton sent in his general alarm
and in less than ten minutes from thu
moment he had given the hurry cah
the city's entire automobile force
even including the police patrol ant
ambulance, was crowded around him
awaiting further orders.
All had come from their respective
stations, one five or six miles away,
and Though the horse-drawn vehicles
were not called out to furnish com
parative figures on the efficiency OF
the two modes of travel it was esti'
mated that every one Of the automo
bile pieces had covered the ground in
ane-haH to one-thfrd the time the
horses could have made, running in
their very best form.
There were five notor-drawn yc'
hicles, representing an outlay by the
city of $26,A27. One member OF the
in.coming Democratic board OF super
visors after witnessing the exhibition
remarked: @@ .sz... ,...a .,..

by the old board is one thing that

noyirg McGitfin's young daughter.
Two weeks ago the case was brought
to the attention of the Citizens Pro-
tcctive Committee by John G. Ander-
son, PROBATION officer of the Juvenile
court. The case was talked over and
Anderson was advised to Sc
cure all the facts and have
the min arrested if tho evidence
warranted it. Judge w. 3. Lymer,
who is member OF the committee,
volunteered to offer his services to
the proSectHing attorney to help pros
ecute tie man if it was shown that
he was annoying the girl and menac-
ing her safety
AS result of conferences held
with Judge Lymer by the people inter
ested. warrant was sworn out for

nan had been on his premises and !
ried to talk to the girl at night.

CONE
To DEFENSE
OF. CHIEF

The following letter was handed &c
the Starr Bulle lin today:
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin
Sir:-Pertaining to the article in
your PAPER yesterday relating to Chief
Ihurston and his working in politics,
we. the undersigned firemen, would
say this much:
why don't the newspapers tell all
about the fire department." asked Mr.,
Trent. They do. What Mr.. Trent
! should have. asked is this: why
don't the newspapers tell what want
them to about the fire department"
We absolutely deny that Chief
Thurston OF any officer of the depart
ment pinned any Parker badges on a
single one of us, and we DEFY Mr.
Trent to prove that the chief used his
position as a means to defeat Fern.
and also to prove that he told any one
of us for. whom to vote.
AS for the houses at Palama, what
the chief said will be proved bv the
firemen at that station. They are
only too glad to be able to live close
and you know hoseman with wife
and family cannot afford to pay much
rent, wheI he gets but $50 month.
There Is quite a lot of land near the
Makiki station and I'm sure the bows
out there would be very glad if Mr..
Trent would put some cottages there
and rent them to the firelnen at SIS !
As for the efficiency of the depart-
ment, how many total losses are !
there? Did you ever stop to think
that when a house burns down what
It means? Simply this; The alarm
wasn't sent to the station In time
Did you or anyone else ever see the F
irenlen hesitate after they got to the
scene of a fire? ia L
Because alarm wasn't turned in in Ii
ime? Why not? Because there was |,
10 fire alarm box anywhere around
hasn't the chief asked time and time
gain for more boxes? Is 1t, then, his.
ault that the kouse burned down?
surely. that's inefficiency! But is it, I
be inefficiency, of the fire depart <
nent? We think not Surely, Mr.. F.
rent must be mistaken when he saws 4
hat the fire department is inefficient. | I
Again, we deny all p Mr.. Trent'sl 4
tatements and only urge him to prove 4
ny one of them. 49, ID
