HILO, Nov. 12.-"Every time a
shell would go shrieking over the
deck of the steamer, poor Nancy
close to my heels as much as to say
that she had made up her mind to see
me through to the finish" writes
Captain William Lyons of the Ameri
can-Hawaiian Steamship Co., in a let.
ter to a HiIo friend. Nancy is the
captains dog and she has been at sea
with the we'll known master for many
years past.
The Smelling incident took place
when the captain was on his way
across the Atlantic with a cargo oil
horses and general freight. The
steamer had four guns for protective
purposes and it was just as well, &C
cording to Captain Lyons story.
I'VE were we'll into the war zone,
continues the captain, when sub
marine got in among the ships that
were with us. i cannot mention
what the names of those vessels were
but it will be enough to say that
there were other freight steamers
and also conveys of the right kind.
well, when the submarine came to
the surface, she fired two torpodoes
both of which missed us. Then the
deck gun cut loose with shells. The
instant that the submarine emerged
from the water to take pot shot
with the torpedo and guns at US, the
conveys cut loose with shot and shell
and the water around the upper
structure of the diver became a mass

EnIisting Influence of Shipping
Board and Businessmen to

Enlistment of shipping board repre-
sentatives and prominent steamship
officials to work against the proposed
railroad restrictions on carload ship
ments of merchandise to Honolulu is
being attempted by H. E. Vernon, the
local Santa Fee agent.
Not only is he bombarding high Of
ficials of his company in San Francis
co with arguments against requiring
shippers or consignees to get confir.
nation of shipping space for carload
shipments to the islands, but he is
now turning his guns on the steamship
and shipping board offices. Every ar

his company he has placed at the dis

Captain Lyons is now member OF

he declares lie winds up his letter
by saying that by the time Lis letter

that he hopes his location will be

railroad restriction if enforced
against Hawaii freight which he is
trying to make the officials of his
company realize. He has declared in
his correspondence that the restric-
ton will result in the need to engage
shipping brokers in San Francisco to
get space reservations on ships for
Honolulu firms.
Also he has asked the officials of
the Santa Re to permit the export
agent of that company to engage
space for the Honolulu merchants, if
the adjustment of shipping conditions
becomes necessary.
Mr.. Vernon believes the Honolulu
bound freight could be. stored in the
China warehouse of the Santa Fe at
the Pacific coast terminal without
causing congestion.
The impossibility of telling what
ships are to come to the islands, and
when they will come, is what makes
it Impractical to enforce the carload
restrictions against Hawaiian freight,
is one of his declarations.

CAPTAIN OF TRAWLER TOOK
U-BOAT WITH A SHOVEL
Four Englishmen Were Then in a
Quandary With Twenty-seven
German Captives ON Hand.

Some of the oddities and thrills of
the present submarine warfare were
told to group of Washington news
paper men recently by Rear Admiral
Sir Dudley R. S. de Chair, of the
British war commission. One of the
stories he told was of the capture of
U-boat by the crew of trawler.
The four men on the British traw-
Ter sighted a periscope nearby and
the skipper steered his boat directly
for it. The trawler struck the sub
marines back and slid up on it, stick
ing there. The skipper grabbed a
shovel and smashed in the delicate
apparatus on the periscope, leaving
the U-boat helpless.
The trawler crew had scarcely got
ten their boat off the submarine when
the U-boat came to the surface, the
coming tower opened and the Ger
man crew came up and surrendered.
With the q prisoners on their hands,
the four Britishers were in a sorry
plight until destroyer opportunity
appeared.

they will maintain more than their
ton of taxable persons.
Mechanics Will Contribute, Too.
Manufactnrinp claims 27Q n

Manufacturing claims 27.9 per
cent. of the labor of the United
States. Every ounce of energy in
that branch will have to be exerted
for the coming year; consequently
the machine workers will hold up
one-quarter of the tax to be levied
upon the new classes.
Uncle Sam has an army of 49,
1863 persons in the civil service. The
average salary is in excess of $1,000,
so they will pay part of the toll. New
York city, including officials of the
five counties in it's limits, has more
than $4,000 persons on its payroll
who earn more than the minimum
figure.
These are the applications of the
law to the new classes, those below
$4,000, which is the minimum for the
existing tax law Between $4,000
and $4,000 there will be no variation
of the tax, so far as can be learned.
However, for the man whose business
or profession gives him more than
$4,000 there is graduated supertax
that begins at / per cent. for
amounts between SIS, 900 and $500
and ranges to 80 per cent. charged
for incomes in excess of 81, 100000.

Experiments on large scale with
the use of electricity to stimulate

The department of agriculture has

How Crops win Be Treated.
Proposals for the use of the ioniz-
ed air in agriculture have aroused
interest in England for the last fif-
teen years, and some experiments
have been conducted on a small scale
but with inconclusive results. In the
Hereford experiment, high tension
alternating current is to be used
Spring wheat, barley, oats and clover
will be dealt with, and fertilizers OF
various types also will be used.
The method adopted is to stretcE
over the field to be treated a number
of thin wires or poles, something like
low telegraph wires, but high enough
for loaded wagons to pass under
meath. The wires are supported by
high tension insulators on posts il
Song parallel spans 80 feet apart.
Gives Details of the Plan.
"The charge fixes off from tn,
wires" says one account, 4" with {
sound which is sometimes audible
and with glow which is visible il
the dark. Any one walking about be
low the wires sometimes can feel tn,

Electricity does not act as a fer
tilizer, but as a substitute for sun
light. The current is only used in the
early morning and in cloudy wealth

The initial cost of the apparatus fol-
twenty-four acres is about 81, 500 anC
the annual cost, including deprecia
ton and labor, is about $500.
The electrification of crops is sale
to have been first suggested by a
Swedish professor named Lemstrom
