RAIDER USES
FIRE TO IM
Germans Send Up Flare to Imi
tate Vessels on Fire; Captain
of Wacouta is Suspicious
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7. A Ger
man raider, with a new method of U
tracting victims, is oierating in the
Pacific, according to wireless warn
ings sent out and according to the ac
count of Captain Fred. Warner of the
Wacouta. who had a close call from
bein? caujtht in the trap.
The method of the raider is to raise
a flare that looks like a ship on fire
and to send up distress rockets. So
far as is known this method of attrac
tion has hitherto proved fruitless.
The Wacouta. one of the Germ.tn
ressels re'eently taken over by the
government, left this port some weeks
ago. A letter was received tn rfisn
Francisco yesterday from Capta i
Warner, describing his experience. He
said:
"We were warned by wireless to
look out for a raider that might em
ploy strange methods. About Th)
miles so-ith of Acapulco at night we
saw a flare in the sky and soon saw
what looked like a ship on fire.
"But, being warned, I kept on our
course and watched the fire carefully.
i
Soon I noticed that the fire was too I
steady ?nd that there were othr
lights blinking around it. 1 made a!
full report when I arrived in our next
Port."
it ' understood that the naw sup
' c1in Nanshan was the first to so, j
nnosed raider's fire. Th cap-i
- rv-? a report and warnings weru
it o:t.
STOWAWAY STILL HELD
Sceineilief, a young veteran of botli
tie Russian and Rumanian armies,
who came here a few weeks ago as a
stowaway on one of the Dutch steam
ers, is still 'held at the immigration,
station under observation of the fed
eral physician. Belief was expressed
at the time of his arrest that he
might be permitted entrance to the
United States, as he is apparently
liealthy and not apt to become an in
digent.
Two other Rumanians and on
Greek, who also arrived here as stow
aways, have been ordered deported,
but have appealed their cases to th
secretary of labor and commerce.
Another stowaway, a Japanese; is to
be deported by a steamer now in port
bound for the Orient
RAID PROVES SUPPLIES
STILL REACH GERMANY
BROOKLYN, N. Y.. Dec. 22. That
all the avenues through which food
products from the United States may
reach the enemy in Germany have not
been closed was made plain yester
day in documents seized by federal
agents here. These papers were found
secreted In the apartments of Gustav
Meyer, a German provision dealer.
the agents having raided the apart
ments and searched them.
Thft Daners indicate that many thou
sands of dollars' worth of foodstuffs
bave been shipped into Germany via
Sweden by Meyer during the past
three months and that other ship
ments are now on their way and still
others being prepared for.
Evidence that Meyer sent a com
munication to Germany during the
present week was secured.

Bankers Notice to
Commercial Depositors
(This' Notice Does Not Apply to Savings Accounts)
The custom prevailing among conservative banking insti
tutions is to make a nominal charge for the handling of small
checking accounts, in order to cover part of the cost incident
to the care of same. It is now the practise in various cities on
the mainland. The undersigned banks of Honolulu have
agreed to adopt the plan.
Therefore, whenever the average balance is below $100.00,
we -trust that it will be found convenient to arrange to in
crease it to at least this amount, otherwise a monthly charge
of fifty cents will be made and a charge ticket rendered for
the same and enclosed with cancelled checks.
Effective on and after January 2, 1918.

Incs. UTILITIFS COMMISSION .
IS STILL UNDECIDED
ON l.-l. ACTION
No decision has yet been reached
by the public utilities as to the action
It will take regarding the ruling of the
supreme court holding that it has no
jurisdiction over schedule of passen
ger and freight rates fixed by the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Co. A
meeting of the commission is sched
uled for Wednesday, and this matter
. probably will be discussed at that
time.
The commission has two methods
for relief; one is an appeal to the su
preme court of the United States, and
the other an appeal direct to the
federal shipping board. The tempor
ary injunction secured by the com
mission against the company, to re
strain it from disobeying the commis
sion's order compelling it to return to
the schedule of rates of 1916, has been
dissolved by Circuit Judge Ashford.
NAVAL DEMANDS CAUSE
SHORTAGE OF OFFICERS
SAN i FRANCISCO, Cal., Dec. 24.
A shortage of officers, for motor,
Rtpam and sfeilinE vessels going off-
S shore is predicted by shipping men on
account of the large numoer oi navi
gators being called to the navy for
service on government snips, nearly
all of the masters and first officers of
ships sailing from this port are mem
bers of' the naval reierve, and must
answer the call whenever made. Navi
gation schools conducted by the Fed
eral Shipping board are turning out
new officers quite fast, but doubt is
expressed along the water front that
there will be sufficient supply from
the school to take all the positions
made vacant by the men going into
the government service.
Officers are being taken from coast
wise China and Australian vessels,
with all the companies losing some of
their best men.
0N0MEA IS NEW NAME
OF INTER-ISLAND DORIS
remission has been received from
the government by the Inter-Island
vavitation Co. to change the name
I of its new steamer Doris to Onomea.
Thn nprmission was received by the
' United States inspectors of hulls and j
'boilers in Saturday's mall from the
ccast and thtf information was imme
diately transmitted to the Inter-Island
officals.
The Doris was purchased on the
coast several months ago to replace
the Hamakua. which was destroyed
1 in May off the coast of Maui by fire,
j After arriving here the steamer was
I materially altered, to make it suit
! able for the island trade, and it was
then placed on the run between Ho
nolulu and the Hamakua coast ports.
It was desired at the time to re
name the steamer Onomea, but this
permission had first to be secured
from the government.
Onomea, after which the steamer is
now named is a postoffice and port
on the Island of Hawaii, a few miles
out of HIlo. ;
