100000 in the fund instead. The plan
as submitted on paper to the senate

ONOMEA IS NEW NAME
OF INTER-ISLAND DORIS

Permission has been received from
the government by the Inter-lsland
Navigation Co to change the name
of its new steamer Doris to Onomea.
The permission was received by the
United States inspectors of hulls and
boilers in Saturdays mail from the
coast and the information was imme-
diately transmitted to the 1nter-lsland
officials.
The Doris was purchased on the
coast several months ago to replace
the Hamakua. which was destroyed
in May off the coast of Maui by fire.
After arriving here the steamer was
materially altered, to make it suit
able for the island trade, and it was
then placed on the run between Ho-
nolulu and the Hamakua coast ports.
1t was desired at the time to re-
name the steamer Onomea, but this
permission had first to be secured
from the government.
Onomea, after which the steamer is
now named. is a postoffice and port
on the Island of Hawaii, few miles
out of Hilo.

Germans Send Up Flare to Iml-

tracing victims, is operating in the
Pacific. according TO wireless warn
ings sent out and according to the &C
count OF Captain Fred Warner of the
Wacouta. who had q close call FROM
being caught in the trap.
The method OF the raider is to raise
flare that looks like a ship on fire
and to send up distress rockets. So
far as is known this method Of attrac,
ton has hitherto proved frnitless.
The Wacouta, one OF the German
vessels recently taken over by tie
government. left this port some weeks
ago. A letter was received in San
Francisco yesterday from Captain
Warner, describing his experience. He
said:
I'VE we're warned BY wireless to
look out for a raider that might EN-
ploy strange methods. About 100
miles south Of Acapulco at night VIC
saw a flare in the sky and soon saw
what looked like a ship on fire.
But, being warned, I kept on our
course and watched the fire carefully.
Soon noticed that the fire was too
steady and that there were other
lights blinking around it. made a

A shortage of officers, for motor

account of the large number Of navi'

service on government ships. Nearly
all of the masters and first officers OF

bers of the naval reserve, and must
answer the call whenever made. NaV1'

there will be sufficient. supply from

Officers are being taken from coast

with all the companies losing some OF
