additional patients, although there is

suggest that the Inter-Island Steam
ship Company advance sufficient mo-

to the home: am sure that it would
be money well spent

the steamship company, said this
morning that the company could not
take up the matter of sending the girl
to the home until all details surround
ing the accident were settled He had
an interview with the girls two broth

ing which time he told them that the
company was intent upon doing every
thing possible in the way of aiding
the minor children of the, deceased
steel-worker. 1t is understood that
two of Olson's children are now in
the Salvation Army home, Manoa.

Navigation Company"

rendered by coroner's jury summon
ed yesterday afternoon by Deputy
sheriff and Coroner Rose, following
its inquiry into the cause of the death
of Mckay, welLknoWn Honolulan,
and who for the past fourteen years
has been identified with important
construction work in the isinads. In
the investigation of the death OF
