TIIK MAUI NEWS, SATURDAY, SKPTKMliER 6, 1913, Fined For Fierce Fire Deputy County Attorney Vincent returned from Molokui on Wednes day last, lie went to the other island to look into several matters, and the most important of them was a prosecution under Section 71, 11105 Session Laws of Hawaii. The case was that in which two young men were charged with setting fire to a pasture and destroying over 70 acres of grass. The defendants were found guilty and, as they de flared that they did not intend to do much tin enormous amount of harm, and that they tried to put the fire out in the early stages, Judge Conradt fined them only 825 each. It appears that the two youths were on foot, and proceeding to the mauka lands nhove Pukoo. They sat down to smoke cigarettes and, so they declare, it was a. burning cigarette that started the fire in the grass and underbrush. The lads say that they tried to prevent the fire from spreading and then giving Baseball Players Attention!

The exact dato that Mr. Dougherty will bo on Maui will bo announced later. up the nttempt, proceeded on their way. Away down nt Pukoo the glare was noticed that night and Judge .Conrad t, who is also forest warden, called upon volunteers to go upon and fight the llames. There was a ready response, and the (ire-fighters kept at their work all night and, finally, stopped the progress of the flames toward the big forest. If the fire had once obtained a footing in the forest an immense amount of damage would have been done. The prosecution conducted by Mr. Yiucent is the first of the kind ever tried before the local courts. The penality in this case, although not very severe, will, it is thought, be a warning to other people who may feel careless about starting fires on forest reserves. Lahaina Lines The Lahaina National Hank has received a new manganese steel safe weighing 3,500 pounds, valued at $1200. It is of the same pattern as tho safe in the Wailuku Rank, but a little smaller. It li.is a time lock and all the latest improvements. This two manganese steel safes are probably the only ones of that des cription in the Territory. Tiny came from the factory at High Rridge, X. J. Captain O. J .

The worm bev els as tney are known, are used in the new Packard "38" and "48" motor carriages. 1 hey are said to assure a silent rear axle. The new gears have done away with the "back lash," that loose ness between the teeth of straight gears which causes noise in the dif fereutial housing. Instead of hav ing only the limited contact afford ed by the straight bevel, tho teeth oi tnc worm uevei are curveu so as to have one set of teeth enmeshing while the set adjoining is becoming disengaged. This affords a more continuous contact and promotes a smooth, sliding action between the bevel gear and the pinion. The search for a noiseless typo of gear has extended over a long period. After months of planning, expert tool makers were called in for the preliminary work. It then took just three weeks to turn out the first set of gears. When com pleted, they were thoroughly tested in an experimental car and pro nounced practically perfect. The next step was to make them a manufacturing proix)sition. It was found impossible to bring them up to Packard standards by existing methods. It ljceame necessary to design and perfect entirely new fix tures for the gear cutting machines. The hair line accuracy required to perfect the worm bevel gears means that the machining and workmanship must be accurate to the uttermost limit. Absolute con formity to specifications is the standard for the work. Each oper ation in the course of manufacture is followed by rigid inspection. In struments are used which are capa ble of measuring one tenth of one thousindth of an inch. When completed, the gears are the same in every respect. Like all Packard parts they are interchangeable. Three Packard experimental cars have completed a testing trip from Detroit to Sniii Francisco. The en gineers in charge followed the trail of the "forty-niners" across the plains, and turned south in I'tah, going through Salt Lake City and iround the lower end of the (treat Salt Lake. This is the route that was followed, by II. R. Joy, Presi dent of the Packard Company, in a recent preliminary survey for the Lincoln Highway. R. M. Hidey, Superintendent of the Packard experimental shops, left Detroit with one of the cars on the evening of July 15. Two days later, J. (i. Vincent, Chief En gineer, started in pursuit and he in turn was followed in twenty-four hours by William R. MeCulla, As sistant Research Engineer. Hidey was heard from first in Cheyenne. Wyoming, on July 20. He waited there for the others, who reached the city together on the following day. The three cars ar rived in Salt Lake City on July 25, and after a day there, proceeded west to Reno and thence over the Sierras to the coast. Payson W. Spaulding, of Evans- ton, a pathfinder and prominent good roads advocate, piloted the cars for a short distance in Wyom ing, lie states that at the time the Packard went through, all the local cars had gone into retirement to wait for tho roads to dry after a series of cloudbursts. Road condi tions of this sort are sought by Packard engineers in forework with experimental cars. Each new mod el is subjected to at least thirty thousand miles of the hardest kind of driving before receiving the final O. K.. which permits it to be offer ed to tho public.

Box 346 c m m m m m c To represent the industrial growth of Greater Detroit, a mass picture of 7,000 employes of the Packard Motor Car Company is included in an educational film being prepared under the direction of the Detroit Uoard of Commerce. In order to permit taking the picture on the company's time, the Packard offi cials advanced the regular Saturday closing hour by twenty minutes. This time cost the company 82,000 in round figures without taking into account the value of the time lost in the course of making preparations. Approximately 200 foremen and department heads were notified of the plans and given detailed instruc tions. The camera was focused from a raised platform thus giving an ex cellent view of the mass of workers as they poured from the factory. When thrown upon tho screen the picture will show the moving mass in the immediate foreground with a background formed by a building 940 feet long, ne of thirty struc tures which make up the Packard plant.
