passed a few yards In front Of the ship. A
running fight began, In which the ships
gun crew fired fifty shots and the submarine
fred thirty-five and discharged at least
two torpedoes,
Entente destroyers came up and the sub
marine submerged. owing to the fog Il had
been impossible for the liners gun crew to
hit the C-boat
The destroyers brought word of other
U-boats in the vicinity, so the liner went
into hiding for two days until the SUBJ
marines had been driven on

The ship kept up her zigzag course all
the afternoon and night and a large part OF
10 the liner acting as convoy yhile others
cruised about looking for sstmarines. To-
ward the end of the second day all the
destroyers had been put to chasing U-boats
and two American destroyers appeared and
accompanied the liner to port.
Passengers OF the liner said they were
alarmed all tho way across the Atlantic by
rumors from time to time OF the presence
OF U-boats on this side OF the ocean. They
said the precautions taken near the Ameri-
can coast were nearly as great as when
approa ching the European coast.
On board the liner which brought news
of the attack were survivors OF two other
American vessels, which were attacked by
submarines. One OF them, Frank Davis,
was the only survivor of the sinking Azlan,
which was torpedoed and sunk Off tho
British coast on July II.

GOVERNOR
PARDONS
BILINUEVA
Executive Bases Action on Con-
fession of Garcia, Who He
Believe Slew Kunana Girl

Jose Bilinueva, Filipino, convicted
more than a year ago on a charge Of
numbering Harriet Humane, a KohaIa
school girl, has been pardoned by tie
governor.
The pardon, announced today by
Governor Pinkham, represents his
second act of clemency in the case Of
Bilinueva, as the sentence Of death
under which he was brought to Ho-
nolulu had already been committed to
life Imprisonment. Governor Pink
ham makes the following statement
in regard to the pardon:
Il am thoroughly of the belief that
Jose Bilinueva is not the man that
murdered Harriet Humane. After sew
en- months study of the case from
every angle mad become convinced
that the charge against him had not
been proven, and that there were a
number of missing links in the chain
of testimony.
For this reason I committed the
death sentence to one of life impris-
onment. Since then have been dis
turbed night and day over the case,
IcdIluS S1dL i udu ucpIAfCu Gil 4AuO
cent man Of his liberty.
Following the confession Of An.
tonic Garcia that he had murdered
the Humane girl had two long inter
views with him and there Is no ques-
ton In my mind that he, Garcia, was
the murderer. We were never able to
shake his testimony and the very last
thing he did befo7e being strapped
for the hanging was to swear that he
was the girls slayer" ~
Governor Pinkllafn has personally
attended to providing Bilinueva with
clothing and enough money to live on
until some disposition fitting to his
necessities can be made.
incidentally there u said not to be
q dollar Of money in the control of
territorial officials to provide for any
indigents save those brought here by
the territory for plantation labor.

grave and momentous consideration of
q new wage and bonus system for the

lands. ,f Fl
Limitation Of the attendance at the
meeting this afternoon to the planta-
ton managers and trustees bars many
men of high standing and heavy IN
vestments in the sugar industry Of Ha-
waii, and indicates the seriousness
with which the planters association
considers the need for new bonus
and wage plan. s.. .
1t was openly announced at the
meeting this morning that as this sub.
iect was one Of the most important
to be considered at the meeting It
had been decided to take 1t up first.
Lack of knowledge as to shipping
conditions for next year, the extent
of federal taxation as D result of the
war, the higher wage demands of the
Japanese laborers or their representa-
tives and the increasing cost OF pro-
duction. make q solution OF the prob
lem imperative at this meeting of the
planters. III.

arrived at was given in any of the re-
marks made at the opening session Of
