ASSOCIATED press by q. S. Naval wirsIsss.l

A PACIFIC PORT, Nov. 2.--Ihe
big passenger steamer Governor is
ashore inside of the breakwater with
It's passengers aboard. There was no
loss of life, officers of the ship re-
ported by wireless TO shore. How ser
iously the steamer has been damaged
cannot be determined until daylight
when an attempt will be made to get
her off.
The Governor was scheduled TO
leave her regular run and was to run
to Honolulu, starting her new SEIZED
ule next week. What effect the acct
dent will have upon these plans can
not be told until her injuries have
been ascertained but it is considered
doubtful, even if the damages prove
to be not serious, whether she can
be repaired in time to leave on the
date set for her initial trip to the Is
lands. T.,

Gaping easily from an eighteen-minGte
shell bombardment from two six.inch
guns, says the San Francisco Exami
ner.
The camouflage consists in the fact
| that the vessels of this type look like
ordinary ten-knot tramps that yean
hardly get out of their own way.
Above the water they have this ap.
pearance, but below they have care
fully designed lines and engines that
gives them sudden burst of speed oil

The Toba Maru was fired On early in

and then, to the surprise of the sub.
marine, she turned her stern to the
enemy, making a small target, ard ran
out of range in few minutes.
Tells of Escape E-% ~
Captain Toku Kusano, yesterday
told of the manner in which he
fooled" the submarine and escaped
unscathed from the rain of shells that
the two submarine guns sent after
him. He said: .....
Excuse me if l mention no ports.
This is according to request of the
British government We we're 631
miles from a point on the European
continent. on the way from a British
port to New York
Eat 2:12 in the afternoon l was in
my cabin reading. was notified
that a German submarine had been
sighted. i went on the bridge and
saw the submarine about four miles
eff our port quarter. We showed a
slanting broadside to the submarine.
The submarine was just high enough
SO that her decks were awash. She
was of the super.submarine size, evi.
IDENTIFY not less than 1000 tons, and she
mounted two six-inch deck guns.
Shells Fall Short =-z
The minute / saw her and noticed
the way she was maneuvering | knew
she took us for aslow tramp, which
she was meant to do. She sent a shell
our way and it fell so yards short
amidships. Had it reached us would
Tot have been here.
Il Immediately altered the course
to show our stern to the submarine
The German still thought we were slow
because, instead of chasing us, he
turned broadside and put both guns
into action.
Il sent signal to the engine room.
which suddenly sent us surging
through the water at Is knots. Before
the submarine could turn to chase us
we were out of range. For eighteen
minutes the German tried to she'll us.
but every shot fell short and we were
soon out Of danger.
The Japanese are building large
number of vessels of this type Many
of these will be sent to the Western
ocean for service on account of their
speed and their ability to Illustrate
submarine attacks. This is in return
for the 100000 tons of construction
steel which, l am told, this country
has agreed to send to Japan

toned the fact that out of the S45,'
900, 900 total importations to Hawaii
only $S,000,000 is for food.
Others expect automobiles, possibly

May Cut Eatables
For some time it has been realized
that with the withdrawal of the big
Matson steamers from this service
there was grave probability Hawaii
people would have to get along with.
out many of the choice eatables which
have been coming here in the cold
storage spaces of these vessels.
Much of Hawaii's fresh vegetables,
fresh fruit, butter, cream and other
perishable eatables have been brought
here in this manner. But after it was
announced that the President and
Governor were to be put on the Hawaii
run it was not anticipated that the
shipment of such goods to Hawaii
would have to be stopped, as 1t is
thought both of these vessels have
cold storage equipment.
Few of the. freighters are so
equipped. The cold storage spaces
are of little use for the shipment of
other goods than the perishable arti
cles.
In Mr. Berndt's eablegram an allu
sion is made which could be inter
preted to mean that the Matsonia had
already been withdrawn from the Ha-
waii service. Previous information
was that she was to make one more
voyage here and was expected to ar
rive next week.
John Drew, head of the shipping de-
partment of Castle & Cooke, has had
no advices that the Matsonia has al
ready been withdrawn by the govern.
ment. He expects her to arrive here
with the congressional party as SEIZED.

cablegram from Mr.. Berndt. He would
not venture prediction as to what
shipping men would so classify after
the embargo is declared. -.
1T looks like they're having some
trouble getting those freighters for
US, he commented.
He points out that as Mr.. Berndt's
cablegram was sent before the run

the difficulty of maintaining a passen.

A. l.. Castle of the commission, said:
IF it is found that any of the IL
censees are trying to make an ull,
reasonable profit, or if they are max.
ing an unreasonable profit, J. F.
Child, as federal food commissioner
has the power to refuse to license
them and to- suspend licenses if he
sees fit. E,..~.. :.
AS has already been pointed out,
such concerns cannot operate without
licenses, and if their licenses are re-
voked, once they have secured them,
they will have to close up until fur
their action is taken.
In part, the letter sent by the
commission to the retail meat men
reads as follows:
ut has been brought to the atten-
tion of the food commission that a
raise Of 2 cents per pound was made
today in the price of beef. We would
like to have you inform us what you
know about this raise"
Then follow these questions: From
whom do you buy your beef? What
were you paying for it a month ago?
Three months ago? Nine months ago?
One year ago?
Under the law the letter con-
tinues, ''the food commits sion HAS the
authority to subpoena witnesses in
SUCH cases, but believe you will vol
unfairly furnish this information to
the commission to enable it to deter
mine whether or not the alleged raise
Of the price of beef today is justified.
E IF you have any other reasons why
the price of beef should be raised,
would be pleased to have you state
them also"
The letter sent to the Hawaii Meat
Co. reads, in part, as follows:
THE food commission was advised
at meeting today that the price of
beef has been advanced beginning to.
day.
THE members of the commission
appreciate the fact that every bust
ness is entitled to a fair and just
profit on the business done.
ut may be that we are misinform:
ed as to the intentions of the meat
producers to raise the wholesale
price of meat, but if such raise ha9
been made, we would be. very pleas
ed to have you inform the commits
sion what the raise is and the reason
therefor.
Under the law the commission
has the authority to subpoena wit
nesses in such cases, but | believe
you will voluntarily furnish this in
formation to the commission.
ITO facilitate matters and save
time, would suggest that you let me
have a statement as to the relative
cost of producing meat now as COM
pared with what it was three months
ago, nine months ago and one year
ago, together with the price paid the
producer.
ut would be we'll, also. to give tho
cost of distribution such as freight,
labor, the cost of Strengthening and
the price paid the. retail dealers with
that of three months ago, six months
ago, nine months ago and year ago.

Army RULE Of
SENIORITY is
BRUSHED ASIDE

WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. 19.-The
historic seniority rule for Army pro-
motions was formally set aside today
TO govern promotions in the National
Army and National Guard. ~
Officers of either the regulars, the
guard or the National Army are held
to be equally eligible for temporary
appointment or promotion, which must
be based solely Oh demonstrated fit
ness without regard to seniority.
The new regulations make officers
interchangeable within their own arms
and grades in the service, and the
list of reserve corps second lieuten-
ants of the regular army is also made
available for appointment of men in
that grade to the other branches.
Stress is laid on the desirability of
promoting men within the unit in
which vacancy occurs, where this is
advisable In naming Second LieUten-
ants, commanders may select non.com-
missioned officers or officers of the
reserve corps as they deem best!
