One week ago today Federal Judge Clemens
began the series of Bumps which have Jolted
some of the folks, Jared others, stirred still
others out of chronic coma, and amused every
body, including the ioltees, the iarreeS and the
Judge.
Starting as a complaint voiced in this paper,
answered at once then gathering humor as a
rolling snowfall increases itself, the bumps
situation is performing public service.
Bumps suddenly discover for themselves a
mission in the world.
They are made to wake up those who com
fortably would ignore or forget their Bump
tons presence.
They are made to draw attention to IMPOSE
tons on the public, whether impositions by the
waterworks management, the gas company or
anybody else
They are made most of all to jar people into
a determination that the city streets shall be
improved.
Whoever painted those glaring, vOclferous,
foot-high signs on the Bumps, telling in heroic
characters just how Bumpy these Bumps were
combined fine sense of humor with EnoWl-
edge of how to get the said Bumps removed.
They are being removed.
Honolulu is knocking down its Bumps and
getting out of it's Ruts.
But there a long way still to go.

WAILUKU, Maui. May 12,-That no
one was killed when a locomotive and
8 cane cars crashed through bridge
into the Olowalu stream Tuesday
morning OF last week. is one OF the
mysteries that are not inaptly placed
in, the miracle class. AS 1t was, how

Sugar Company were pretty badly
hurt. while a number of others doubt
less had the narrowest escape OF their
lives
Antoine F. Santos, luna on the
plantation. who was riding in the en-
CINE cab. sustained severe cuts on the
head and body, and Evaristo Ramos,
laborer, is believed to have sustained
severe internal hurts.
The accident was caused by a pier
in the bridge being washed out dur
ing the night by a torrent OF noun
tain water. The train was the first
one cut and was carrying the labOrerS
to the fields In falling the locomO-
tive turned completely over. resting in
the bed of the stream with its wheels
in the air The engine cab by some
lucky chance was not crushed, how

the escape OF the occupants from
