After the joint committee on pneu-
matte tubes had reported to the Sen-
ate Postoffice Committee, Senator
Bankhead submitted the report to the
Senate. 1t recommends that the Gov
ernment take over and operate the
tubes under complete ownership
after their value is ascertained. There
are fifty-siX and one-half miles of
the tubes in New York, Brooklyn,
Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and
Boston. The report says that "the
value of the systems to the Govern
ment is not in excess Of S4,432, 900, u

PRAYING PALM TREE DEAD
Used to PROSTATE Itself In the Evening
While Temple Bells
Rang,

The praying palm tree Of Faridpur,
about which certain interesting facts
were published, is dead. It may be
remembered that this tree used to pros.
trate itself In the evening while the
temple bells rang, calling the people
to prayer, and 1t erected Its head In
the morning. This process was repeat
ed every day, to the bewilderment of
thousands Of Hindus, who naturally
came to look upon it as the abode OF
some "devata" (god). Hundreds Of
fered pujahs to the unknown "devata,"
which all went to fill the pockets Of
the owner of the tree. Miraculous
cures were reported as result Of pu.
jah offerings.
The curious phenomenon attracted
the attention Of Sir ]. G. Bose, who.
after much difficulty, obtained permits.
sion of the owner Of the tree to inves-
tigate the matter. He devised special
instruments-all Of swadeshi manufac-
ture-and began to take records. He
found that the palm tree fell with the
rise OF temperature and rose with its
fall. Records obtained with other
trees brought out the hitherto unsus-
pected fact that all trees were moving,
such movements being In response to
changes in their environment.
Sir ]. G. Bose holds the opinion that
the whole of the vegetable world, In
Guiding rigid trees, perceive the
changes in their environment and re.
spond to them by unmistakable signals.
They thrill under light and become de-
pressed by darkness; the warmth Of
summer and frost of winter, drought
and rain. these and many other hap.
penings leave subtle impression on
the life of the plant"

The complaint made Tuesday by the

that signals Of distress displayed by
the vessel were ignored by the captains
Of three vessels, supposed 10 belong
TO the InterIsland fleet, that passed
near enough to see them, was the prin.

Although il was stated Tuesday night
hat an investigation was to be con.

Neither was anything done by tho

tuesday night that he would make an

INTENDED Joke MAY
EXPLAIN HIS DEATH
Widow Thinks Husband Did Not
intend To Fire Shot
Which Took His Life

Whether John Burke, Kukui Street
Intentionally committed suicide yester
day morning or whether practical
joke which he was playing on his wife,
ended in tragedy, is an open question
in the minds Of the police and an in
vestigation is being made into the cir
eumstances Of the shooting. So far all
Of the evidence points to the theory
that the shot was fred by accident.
While Mrs Burke was preparing
break fast she CHANGED to look at her
husband and saw him with the point
of pistol in his mouth. She called to
him excitedly and the explosion fol
lowed which gave Burke his death
wound. A few minutes before, Burke
had told his wife that If she would
leave the house for few minutes she
would find a surprise when she re,
turned.
I'VE are always playing together, ;"
said Mrs. Burke, "and ! cannot see
any reason why he should have wished
to kill himself. He seemed in the best
of spirits and seemed in the mood for
a joke when he proposed that I step
outside for few minutes. While |
was gone he took the pistol from the

Deputy Marshal Silva
Brings Fish
Story Back With Him
Tells How Shark Followed Whale
and Both Were Captured.
BY Japanese

Louis X, Silva, deputy United States
marshal returned from Hilo Tuesday
with fish story that begins "once
upon time there was big shark that
chased q little baby whale" and ends
with the news that they both died and
earned money for their captors ever
nftcr.
Silva, while on Hawaii on an opium
case. received by accident the full
story Of twenty. eight foot whale that
is now being exhibited at the old In.
ter Island pier in Hilo and Of n huge
shark that has been cut up into enough
steaks to supply the tables Of all the
Japanese of the region.
1.-The report that | heard Of the way
in which these two were captured is
interesting, If true, - said Silva. 1.-THE
whale, it was said, had made for shore
when the big shark pursued him, and
was wallOwing in shallow water when
the fishermen found him and succeeded
in putting a hook in him.
"Thry noticed that the big shark
vas churning the water nearby, and
purpOsely lowed the whale into deep
water again MS a bait for the shark
This plan was successful and the fish
rrmen succeeded in spearing and get
ting a line TO the shark as well. 80
that when they came in they were
towing the two of them"
The two big specimens were exhibit
ed in HilO by their captors at twenty
five cents per person. 1t is the second
largest whale that has ever been caught
at Hilo, in spite of the fact that it i,

Platt Cooke Has
Narrow Escape
When Shelf Bursts
Honolulu Boy Driving Ambulance
In France Disappears In Cloud
OF Dust and Smoke But
y Emerges Unhurt-Now In AWi-
alton Corps

A vivid incident of war life in France
which has just reached Honolulu by
letter concerns two Honolulu boys
who have gone abroad to do what they
could in the great struggle. One OF
them was Benjamin Henderson, former,
~ sugar chemist at Kahuku and Aiea,
who is now in the ambulance service
near the front.
~ A letter received from him tells of
an evening in Paris, where he was wait,
ing for his assignment to HE ambulan nee
division where his service was to be.
He was CHARTERED with a young Ameri.
can driver who was back from the
front on leave. The new acquaintance
was telling him Of some of the dan.
gerous experiences he had known OF
seen.
A few days before, he said, he had
been in n supply "parc" near the
front, where q number of trucks were
unloading material. Shells were drop.
ping much too near the pare for com.
fort.
One large "cammion," five.tOn
truck, was just entering the pare when
o shell exploded so close that the cam
mion was entirely hidden in u cloud of
dust. ~ never expected to zee it come
Through that curtain of dust -, tn.
young man said. II thought Of course
the truck was hit and the driver killed,
but In moment they came rolling on
Cookey wasn't even touched. "
TaCookey whof" asked Henderson.
y "Why, Plat Cooke of Honolulu, "
returned the other. q" Do YOU know
hima"
- Not yet, but m going to-" said
Henderson, and as young Cooke was
in Paris, few nights after that the
two Honolulu boys spent the evening
together taking in the sights.
~ At that time Plat Cooke. son of
y. p Cooke, was driving a five ton
truck, handling n five ton load each
trip, Since that time he has trans,
feTred to the aviation corps. and
H. doubtless flying by this time.
There was at one time some criticism
voiced bv one who thought that tn
boys of Honolulu who went into service
as ambulance and truck drivers were
lodging the real dangers Of war. hut
ID would not seem so if experiences ike
Platt Cookies are everyday affairs 20
them, and there is no reason to suppose
thew are not.
4 Henderson was i'll upon his first ar,
rival in Paris and was confined TO a
hospital for time, but has now re
covered and has been given an nmhn
lance and sent into service close TO IN"

7. K. K. EXPERIMENTS
WITH OIL FOR FUEL

The Togo Kisen Kaisha Steamship
Company, after going over the coal
situation, has finally decided TO test
the expense of running their vessels
with oil for fuel, to see if it would be
cheaper to operate their vessels with
oil than coal.
SO far, only one steamer owned by
that concern has been fitted with an
oil burner, this having been placed on
board while the vessel was last in San
Francisco harbor This vessel is the
Korea Maru, which is now on her way
TO the Orient, having left here week
ago.
The round-trip of the Korea to the
Orient and thence back to the main
hand with the new oil burner, oil being
used for fuel, is expected to prove the
issue to the satisfaction of the Togo
Risen Kaisha people, one way or the
other.
