Entertainments BY Young
Peoples League +.

The Young People 3 League will give
its last Hawaiian Entertainment of the
year next week at the opera house.
Samchameha Day, Friday; June z, is
TO be celebrated in an elaborate man
ner and the performances Of Thursday
and SATURDAY nights are to form apart
II the p,O.Iam. ,,, ~. a.s..
The League Is noted for its Hne sing
ing and those who were fortunate
.nouPh to hear the young people Mt
Prince Kalahianaole s reception to the
congressional party y know that they
ntIde a big hit with their play, a. In
the Woods of Hawaii There will be
plenty of good masie on the program,
both ancient and modern, and all lovers
of music should take advantage of this
opportunity to hear the songs of Ha-
waii sung by persons who know how to
sing. One number on the evenings
pros ram is musical contest,'' to be
participated in BY various clubs, and
his will prove both enjoyable and in
structive. - =
'The Mission School" certainly will
be the most entertaining number. The
methods of teaching in the olden days,
the style of singing and the exercises
the pupils had to go through are very
amusing to the present generation. An
eient dances with characteristic insttu.
ments will be given and some Of these
dances have never been exhibited be
fore. Some of the customs of tho olden
days are TO be shown and these will
interest the kamaainas as well as the

HOODLUMS STEAL
I. ANDWRECk AUTOS
Machines Belonging To Crockett
and Plummer Are Bad i.
y Treated

J. J, Crockett Of the Won Hamm.
Young company and Henry o. Plum.
mer of the Hawaiian Dredging company
are 'riled. !, In each instance the
cause has been the theft of an automo.
bile by hoodlums and in both instances,
because the hoodhims could not operate
the cars, the machines were damaged.
Saturday night Mr. Plummer left his
ear standing ID front OF the naval sta
tion in Allen street while he attended
The entertainment given by the men Of
the cruiser Maryland on the navy dock.
When Mr.. Plummer returned to his car
he found the machine badly mntilnted.
Levers were bent and the spcedometer
had been kicked OH. 1t was apparent
that some person or persons had at.
tempted to take the car for a joySide
and caused the damage in an Intellectual
attempt TO start the ear. IN
Mr.. Crocketts Overland runabout
was taken from the garage of his home,
1917 Makiki street, some time, between
midniph t yesterday and two clock in
the morning. Neighbors saw the ear
at the midnight hour. Two hours later
il Was gone. e.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Crockett was
surprised TO find his machine missing
and started out on a hunt. lie found
the car at the corner of Makiki and
Wilder streets, Eve blocks distant from
his home, where IL hid been trnndled by
the thieves down the slight grade.
The joke was considerably on the
hoodlums, however,. Saturday evening
Mr.. Crockett had been doing some
work on the ear and had disconnected
the battery. Overturned cushions and
scattered tools testified TO the tinker
ing which the thieves had done to start
the engine. @.= - $4,000. ~
Mr.. Crockett could not repress smile
at the thought of the cranking done by
the hoodlums in an effort TO get a
spark, but he was "riled'' nevertheless
He lays the act TO hoodlums who are
continually committing depredations in
the neighborhood, even to breaking into
homes and stealing articles.
That the hoodlums are youngsters
was attested by the fact, that one Of
them left behind a pair of boys shoes
and long stockings which he had DOTTED
while a. work around the garage.

Confraband Tabu
On All Steamers

II il announced by the International
Mercantile Marine Company that no
contraband of war hereafter will bo
carried on the American line steam
ships. The prohibition includes even
automobiles belonging to passengers.
In making the announcement a rep
resentative of the liue said it was in
no sense an acknowledgment of the
effec tiveness of German submarines,
nor was it the result of any suggestion
or hint from Washington.
Rather the officials thought it expe-
dent to establish a new rule because,
following the sinking of the Lusitana,
the report had spread that the vessels
of the American line also were carry.
ing mutitioEs of war and ether sup.
plies which would lay them open TO
attack Ivy German submarines.

DEMAND SPEED OF
new SUBMARINES
United States Designers Learn
Much From Working Of ~
. at German Boats e.

In view Of the performances Of the
German submarines, United states
naval designers are giving considetabIc
attention to the Epbieets Of speed,
radius Of action, and design o. that
type OF naval craft. In some quarters
confidence has been expressed as tosthe
development Of engines suitable fOr
submarines that would give those craft
q speed Of 10 knots submerged and of
20 knots on the surface However,
our naval authorities, although hest;
tating to state that such achievements
are impossible, believe that there Is
nothing in the latest or contemplatea
design Of submarine engines that can
give assurances Of producing sach
speeds. ..s..s. n k. l,.} ~ i,s
In the submarines for which bias
shortly are TO be opened hy the navy
department, the submerged and surface
speeds will be Increased slightly NJ
compared with the submafines an,
thofized last year, and II my be that
other developments In engineering still
further win increase submarine speed.
In this connection much interest nat
urally is taken In q more or less mysr
FERROUS German submarine that is de-.
scribed as sbnormally long and hhr-
row. which evidently attains high
speed by fore-andaft arrangement Of
engines, but considerable Doubt is ex-
pressed that IL can make d surface
speed OF % knots an hour. Submarine
design, as in the plans for all types %
war vessels, is changing constantly,
and no one safely can assert that the
25Iknot submarine never will be
realized. ~ VAS. go,

/. Attention has already been called to
the high yield offered by some OF the

tations. The weak market position or
these securities, In the face OF strong
Intrinsic showing, Is doubtless due to
the fear of free sugar. In ordinary
times this might constitute a menace,
but in the present outlook the tariff
has no more effect than the wind on the
market price ofnaw sugar, which is re.
sronding solely TO supply and demand.
With the possibility Of European i'm.
portations removed for several years,
with England and France -mffhiy de-
pendent on Cuba for supply, il is clear
that the shortage will offer a protection
for present prices for some time to
come. M Lar
Most Of the Hawaiian plantations are

The Hawaiian Sugar Company Is pay
30 cents a month, or $500 q year, and
II h probable that two extra dividends,

making a total OF $500.
The Hutchinson Sugar Plantation

ably be raised to 20 cents in October
November and December, making to
tai for 1915 Of $l.S5. n Re-
The 0nomea Sugar Company il pay

wnen 30 cents extra was paid. II is
probable that the regular rate will be

pany is paying 90 cents a month, or
~. 40 a year, and il Is not likely that

1.-THE experience Of all these cities
has been the same. They found that as
the population grew, the consumption
Of water grew even faster. That is,
the per capita consumption increased
moro rapidly than the population. Some
thing had to be done. .,......l
Something has to be done here. Our
consumption per capita is probably the
largest in the world. We use nearly
100 gallons day per capita, or about
three times the per capita consumption
Of Cleveland.
THE ar ument is made that the con,
sumption here is necessarily larger than
in more densely populated cities, which
h3vn not the wide expanse OF lawns and
9rrbbery Honolulu must irrigate.
Los Angeles is semi-trOpical city,
with wide expanse of greensward and
q limited water supply. After several
bod water seares it was found necessary
