SIGHT JAPANESE
WARSHIP CLOSE TO.
OAHU IS REPORT
Passengers Arriving This Morn
ing Tell of Vessel Believed
to Be one of Squadron Sail
ing East From Japan

A squadron of Japanese cruisers is
now cruising in Hawaiian waters ac'
cording to the information brought by
one of the passengers on the Shinyo
Maru which arrived this morning in
Honolulu.
One of the passengers on the steam
er went on deck early this morning,
and accompanied later by other pas
sen gers saw the outline of a vessel
steaming between Kauai and Oahu.
AS the ship drew nearer the passen-
ship and later il was learned that this
was one of the cruisers which are
now on their way to Vancouver.
Japanese residents Of Honolulu
state that the Tokiwa, Iwata and
Nisshin left japan some time ago
for Vancouver, and it was believed
that they were after German raider
in the Pacific. According to a promi-
nent Japanese 1t is thought that the
Japanese navy department after hear
ing of the break with the United
States and Germany ordered the three
cruisers to Honolulu to protect Japa-
nese shipping. -. ..z=5s. .~.~
It is the belief in Japanese circles
that the three cruisers were ready to
protect the Nippon Maru, which left
Honolulu yesterday, and the Shinyo
Maru, now in port, in case the Geier
made an attempt to leave Honolulu
harbor. 49,.
There have been a number of ru-
mors that japanese warships were in
the vicinity.

GUARD FIRES At
NIGHT PROWLER

Some person lor Persons proving
about the tanks, infthe Standard Oil
Company's yard ktAwilei shortly after
midnight this merning drew a rifle
shot from the corporal of the guard
stationed at that place and brought
more soldiers from the Capitol
grounds in quick order.
No one was captured, although foot,
prints were traced by officers for
some distance from the tanks, and
no clue as to the identity of the
prowling party has yet been secured.
Men of Company K, End Infantry,
were on duty after midnight this
morning, and 1t was a corporal from
this company who fired the shot when
he had called upon the man to halt
and was rewarded with the sound Of
fleeing footsteps.
The shot fired soon had other SOL
diers coming on the run and rapid
search was made, but nothing as to
the mans identity could be discoy-
cred. Lieut.. George NJ. Halloran, ac-
companied by a small band OF men,
left in a motor truck from the Capitol
grounds soon afterward.
During the early part of the night
no disturbance was noted, according
TO officers of the camp, although a
report was about this morning that
German sailors from the refugee
ships had been discovered hiding
about the coal piles at the wharves.
This was absolutely denied, today
by officers of the camp. They said
the only sailor picked up last night
was carpenter, who had been out
on leave for the day and evidently did
not know of what had happened dur.
ing his absence.
Toward morning little excitement
occurred at Pier IL, when rowboat
at that place attempted to land at the
wharf, and was told to move on by the
sentry on duty Those in the boat at
tempted to argue the matter, it is
said, but finally rowed on out into the
stream. Who the parties were was
not determined

NO interference
FOR GERMAN FIRMS

i. 1t was emphaIically asserted by the
T. S. attorneys office today that
should war be declared between the
United States and Germany there will
be little or no interference with the
business of any German firms in the
territory, other, perhaps, than the en-
forcement of certain necessary re-
strictions. 49,. .....
1t was pointed out that German
merchants in London were allowed to
ltinue business under certain re.
rictions after the outbreak of the
European war; .~.
German firms here would have GER
tain rights which are controlled by
treaties in times of war, the attorneys
office further explains However, it
is pointed out that, in the event of
war, no able-bodied Germans would
be allowed to leave the islands.

EARLY HOUR ride
ENDS in DEATH

One Japanese. Kawamata, lies In
the morgue with brains dashed out
and another, Shiroma, is unconscious
and probably dying at the, Queens
hospital as the result Of a joy ride
the two took on Nuuanu avenue this
morning.
In a car registered under the name
OF !. Ono of Leilehua the two Japa.
nese, one a wash boy for the A. B. c.
taxi stand and the other similarity EN-.
ployed by the Beretania taxi stand,
came to grief.
They went up Nuuanu street, evi-
IDENTIFY taking look at the Pali, and
came down about $3.50 at q terrific
rate, struck wet strip of road above
WyIlie street, skidded about $50 feet
and turned turtle in front OF Albert
Horner's residence.
When emergency hospital attend
ants arrived in the ambulance they
found Kawama.a dead and hanging
in the afr from broken piece OF the
auto top which had caught and sus-
pended him. Shiroma was lying in
the street writhing in pain. He was
rushed directly 70 the Queens hos
pital.
The auto turned completely over,
righting itself on the four wheels,
smashing the top, the windshield and
generally damaging the tonneau as 1t
turned.
Deplty Sheriff Asch is investigat-
ing the accident and may hold the
inquest some time Tuesday.
He says from what he can learn the
japanese victims did not exactly steal
the car but had been in the habit OF
sneaking out IN the early morning
hours with so0e car IN their stands
for q spin.
The deputy remarks that the sight
which, he was called upon to witness
when he visited the tragedy shortly
after IL had occurred was the most
CHASTITY he had seen for some time.
In this instance the car was taken
from the A. B. c. stand. according
to Asch.

THE SPEED OF SHIPS.
Influence Of the Depth of Water and
the "Wave of TransIation,D

| On first thought the seas depth
seems of little Importance IL the ship
hnds depth enough to give her an easy
| draft. If she can run free apparently
1t makes little difference whether she
| has six feet or GOO feet between her
| Keel and the bottom. Such an infer
ence Is, however, erroneous, for the
depth exercises an important influence.
| The British cruisers Blake and Blen-
helm were expected to run twenty-one
knots. but actually ran two knots less
in shallow water. They ran again un.
der the same power but the depth
was between 1875 and 1865 feet. and
| their speed was twenty-five knots. one
knot in excess of the maximum cal
culation.
The difference In speed Is attributed
to the influence OF the "wave of trans
lation'' displaced by the ship as she
moves forward, which acts as n brake.
The nearer the ships keel to the bot
tom the stronger the friction. A shin
drawing twenty-seven feet Of water
say ship of 1900 tounage-feels
that friction over a depth of 25O feet
According to some calculations, the
dragging influence ceases to be felt
at depth equal TO ten and one-half
times the draft If the ship stands high
out of the water.
curious feature of the matter is
that the speed of the ship is as impor-
tant an element as the depth of the
water-that is to say. the influence of
the depth on the ships speed is more
or less powerful In proportion as the
speed Is great. A ship increases her
speed more readily over deep water:
but, ON the other hand, the faster
snip runs the more depth of water she
requires to prevent the hindrance
caused by the dragging influence of
the friction which is always felt when
the ships keel senses" bottom.
Running ten knots an hour. a shin
must have between twenty-slx and
twenty-seven feet of depth or she is
dragged from below. If running
twenty knots she needs depth OF 1O4
to 1O5 feet, and when running thirty
knots she feels the drag over a depth
OF nearly 324 feet.-EAchange.

Your Own Fla Tree,

1t may interest you, says the New
York Sun. to know that figs can be
grown in pots or in the open ground in
regions where there are three months
of warm weather. The fg is less like
the apple and the peach, which ripen
all their fruit at once. than like the
raspberry and the blackberry, which
ripen their fruits continuously through
the bearing season. Figs continue to
ripen fruit until checked by cold
weather.
For pot culture the fig requires about
the same treatment as a rubber plant,
and If 1t gets plenty of water the fruit
will ripen. Vigorous plants will have
fruit in all stages of growth, from the
smallest green fruit to the ripe figs
ready to be picked and eaten.
