Twenty-One Allowed to Land.
Nineteen of the remaining 81 came
dangerously near being rejected also
They were allowed to land only upon
guarantee that they would obtain EN-.

iected because il appeared that they
were contract laborers. Only two out

Japanese Missionary's Work.
The japanese missionary at Tacoma
who makes il his business 10 find EN-

admitted to tie examining board that
there are now 200 japanese in Tacoma
out of employment. Inspector Sny-
der, of Seattle. says there are 400
japanese out Of work in that city.
Another thing brought out in the in
vestigation is that more than three
times as many japanese are landed in
Victoria as are brought to the sound
ports.
Probable Eject of the Rejection.
When the news reaches Japan that
50 Japanese out of single shipment
have been rejected in Tacoma, tho next
ship that comes will likely unload the
entire lot in Victoria, and let them
take chances of crossing the line in
small bodies. If they are caught they
can not be sent back any farther than
Victoria. whereas, if they are re jected
in Tacoma, they must GO back to
Japan. The Glenogle is due to sail on
Wednesday, so the japanese will have
but little tine 10 which to appeal their
cases to Washington should they so
desire.
