j. s. SHIP KILLS 2
ON ITALIAN DIVER
Submarine Failed to Answer Pa
tro's Signal at Night.
DANIELS SENDS HIS REGRET
Secretary in Message to italian Minis
try of Marine Expressed Deepest
Regret and rendered Amer-
cas- Sympathy.

Washington, Oct. 9-Vice Admiral
Sims cabled the navy department that
an American patrol vessel on duty at
night in the war zone had fired on an
italian submarine, which failed to an
SWer recognition signals, killing one Of
icer and one enlisted man.
Secretary Of the Navy Daniels at
once sent a message to the Italian
ministry of marine, expressing the
deepest regret over the unfortunate
occurrence and rendering his and the
American navy's sympathy for the loss
Of life.
While details Of the incident are
unknown here, the fact that an Off
Ger and an enlisted man were killed
Indicates that the American gunners
landed a shot in the submarines con-
ming tower the victims being the Off
Ger at the periscOpe and the bluejack-
ct at the wheel.
Nays Statement.
The navy department on Monday Is
sued this statement:
"The navy department has been in
formed by Vice Admiral Sims that re-
Gently an American patrol vessel, while
on patrol duty at night, encountered
an Italian submarine and that, when
lished recognition signals, the patrol
vessel opened fire, which resulted in
the killing Of one officer and one en-
listed man before the identity OF the
submarine was established.
'Vice Admiral Sims IS thoroughly
investigating the unfortunate occur
renee and reports will be forwarded
later to the department.
Message to Italy.
'The secretary of the navy upon re-
ceipt of the first news dispatched the
following message to the Italian minis
ter of marine:
az have learned with deepest regret
of the unfortunate occurrence which
resulted in an American patrol vessel
firing, through misunderstanding,
upon an Italian submarine, causing the
death of one officer and one enlisted
man on the latter.
GAS our patrol vessels are in Eu-
ropean waters primarily for the pur-
pose of cooperating with the Italian
and other allied vessels in our common
cause, the unfortunate encounter is all
the more regrettable.
"Due to the recent unusual activity
of enemy submarines in this region
which have resulted in the loss of sew
eral vessels, the patrol had been strict
ly maintained and the unfortunate fact
that the patrol vessel did not obtain
the recognition signals resulted in her
opening fire.
"Please accept on behalf of myself
and the American navy sincere and
heartfelt sympathy for the loss of life
which has resulted.
"JOSEPHUS DANIELS

NO WORD CONES
AS TO TAKING
OVER OF SHIPS

Although today, October Is, is the
date set for the communicating of
all American shipping in. excess of
$500 tons deadweight, or perhaps 1870
tons deadweight, no direct word OF
such action had been received by any
of the Honolulu shipping firms up
until i o'clock. A.
The order to turn the Matson,
Oceanic and Pacific Mail steamers
over to the government has been ex-
pected all morning, but no one knew
for certain to whom it would come.
Some think it will go to the coast
owners, while others assume that 1t
might be sent to federal officers here.
Another guess was that it might come
to Norman Gedge. Honolulu represen-
tative Of James A. Kennedy, the Ha-
waii shipping board representative.
Officers of the Oceanic liner in port
today said that ii was generally re-
ported on the coast the ships of that
line would be Communicated by the
government, but afterwards turned
back to the owners for operation be.
tween the states and Australia. How
ever, they say, as do many others:
No one knows exactly what will be
done. ~
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-10-15

AS far as Hawaii is concerned, at
least, thinks Mr. Huber, the law is
principally for the prevention of prop
erty owned by alien enemies, which is
accommodating here, or which is stu
ated here, or the proceeds or remuner-
alton therefron, from reaching the
countries with which the United
States is at war, and to see that any
money derived from such properties
does not get without the United
States. ..... .-. III
AS an example, Mr.. Huber takes
sugar and other stocks in Hawaiian
corporations which is held by per.
sons now living in Germany. Under
the new law, he says, some one with
in the territory will be appointed to
take over this stock during the period
Of the war, probably vote for it, and
collect the dividends, and remain in
possession of the funds until peace
has been declared, after which, OF
course the money would be turned
over to- the rightful owners. The
same course undoubtedly will be fol-
lowed as regards other property in
Hawaii owned by alien enemies resid-
ing outside the United States. MIR.
Huber does not believe that proper
ties owned by Germans now residing
in the territory will be seized.
He points out further that all pat
ents held by alien enemies will be
taken over in the same manner for
the period of the war, and all busi-
ness pertaining to the manufacture
and sale of articles under patents will
be taken care of by some person or
persons appointed by the government.
In this connection Mr.. Huber calls
attention to certain Germans who pat
ented the only known cure for GER
tain disease. 1t costs 81 to manu-
facture a given quantity of the medi-
cine, yet the producers sell the same
quantity for as much as $4,000. The
profession has had to have
this cure and has been forced to pay
the unusually high price in order to
obtain it. This patent, Mr.. Huber
believes, is one of several things
which will be taken over and the
price Immediately reduced.
The enforcement of the trading with
the enemy act, adds the district at
torney, will not prevent residents OF
the territory from trading with II.
Hackfeld & Co., nor will it prevent
trading with any stores or branches
owned BY the company.
Mr. Huber has not been informed
who in the territory will be appoint
ed to take charge of property owned
by alien enemies not now residing
here. ...-=.

LONDON VISITOR t
TELLS OF Recent
HUN AIR RAIDS
England Now Takes Attacks
Seriously, Says Member of
Special War Police.

GERMAN raids on London have
ceased to be "big show for the
~ population of that city and now are
being taken as a grim and serious
reality. according to w. J. Bayles, one
of Londons war force Of 10000 spe-
cial constables, who is a visitor IN
Honolulu today as a passenger on an
Oceanic liner. -.r: +.
Bayles has been through all the
air raids the Germans have made up
until the early part of last month.
He said: "The early raids proved
q great attraction to the people, and
the streets as we'll as the tops of all
the big buildings were thronged with
men and women, anxious to watch the
performance. But it was found that
more people were wounded by our
own shrapnel as 1t fell to the ground
than were hit by the German bombs.
So now, when a raid begins, the sig
nal is given throughout the city by
firing small guns, and everyone takes
to cover. All the hotels and most
of the other public buildings have
made their easements into refugees,
which are always open to the people.
THE damage done to property in
London has not been very consider
able. The Germans have not hit any
of the important buildings save the
postoffce. and here the fire was
quickly extinguished The danger is,
nevertheless, very apparent, and every
possible step is being taken to protect
the city against the sky raiders. The
demand for reprisals is growing, and
sooner or later there viii be reprisals
on a very large scale against the Ger
mans.
Germany is using her very latest
airplanes for this work, They carry
three men-one to drive and two OPP
crate guns and drop bombs. They are
armored.'

War Tax Will
Boost Cost To
K. R. Travellers
Eight Cents on the Dollar Will
Be Charged to Persons Co.
ing Beyond Pear! City

PASSENGERS on the o. r. and
- L. trains who pay more than
80 cents for their tickets will
be taxed s per cent after the first
of November, according to an an
nouncement made this morning by
Fred Smith, passenger agent. A
war tax of per cent will also be
placed on all freight handled by
the railroad.
AS the tax is to be paid by the
purchaser and not the railroad
company, there will be no advance
in prices of O.. r. and L. tickets,
aeeofdingsto Mr. Smith. The pur-
chaser, however, when he buys his
ticket, must pay the s per cent to
the agent. This will probably
cause a great deal of confusion,
says Mr.. Smith, and will undoubt-
eddy bring into circulation a great
number of pennies. For instance,
if a traveller buys ticket costing
40 cents, he will be taxed an addi-
tional 2 1-5 cents. Just how the
company Will regulate the frac-
tions of cent has not been decid
ed, but the ticket office is working
out a schedule of taxes to elimi
nate as much confusion as pos
sible. '..@
At present, the non-taxable linz
it is to Pearl City. All tickets be-
yond Pear City must pay the addi-
tional s per cent tax.
Steamship tickets, both trans
Pacific and inter-island, will also
cost more, the purchaser paying
the additional per cent tax.
The Inter-Island officials have
already intimated that they in
tended to add the revenue tax cost
to the price of the tickets, and
John Drew, the Matson represen-
tative in Honolulu, says: "If the
tax is applicable to coastwise bus
mess there will be nothing to do
but add the tax to the cost of the
tickets to and from the coast"
The tax would bring the aver
age price of a ticket to the coast
up from SIS to ISL, and tickets for
the better cabins in proportion
No word has yet been received
from the San Francisco MatSon
office in the Honolulu office re-
garding the tax which goes into eff
feet on November 1.
If Matson company increases
its rate to the coast, it is almost
certain that the Pacific Mail and
Oceanic lines will do the same.
