/ WATERFRONT NEWS
NAVY STRAGGLERS
WILL FARE HARD

About dozen stragglers from the
fleet have been rounded up by the
police, some reporting at the Naval
Station after the warships had gone.
The Naval Station will have to take
care of them until they can be for
warded to their vessels. The case of
men know beforehand what they are
to expect, they have practically dug
their own graves.
Captain Rodman inquired yesterday
of Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth wheth-
er he could hold the stragg1ers at the
station, paying at the rate of about a
dollar day for their maintenance.
The probabilities are that the men will
be sent to the station and held there
until a transport or other means of
transportation arrives to send them to
the Orient The cost of feach mans
maintenance will be charged against
him, and the cost of his transportation
will also be entered against his name.
AS his pay stops while he is on the
books as a straggler, his financial
status can easily be figured out.
The police have reaped harvest
picking UP stragglers. AS there is a
reward of $40 for every one, the po-
lice We're active both on and off duty.
Captain Kanae is said to have pocket
ed "a bout $3.50, and Harry Flint, Lieut..
Hart and others have also Jared well.

DESPERATE JAPS
ESCAPE FROM DORIC

on the O. & 0. steamship Doric made
an attempt to escape from the steamer
yesterday morning after o'clock and
would have succeeded but for the de-
termined resistance of Customs Inspec-

We're sent aboard from the Coptic on
Monday. They We're confined in
room. One of the number cut out a
panel in the door with a clasp knife,
and five of the gang managed to es-
cape. They spread out over the vessel
and knowing that they would be appre-
hended if they tried to land on the
wharf, they squeezed through ports on
the mauka side of the vessel and plung-
ed into the harbor.
The presence of the men in the harbor
was discovered by the Customs Inspec-;
tors and the alarm was given. An I'M
migration guard subdued one man aft
er battling with him for some time.
Wilson came across a Jap who was
quite powerful and there .ensued des-
perate fight Wilson, although badly
damaged in the fracas, held on, and
also gave his prisoner drubbing. The
other three got away.
AS the steamship company is liable
to a fine of 5000 for the escape of a
stowaway the steamship officials put
forth every effort to apprehend the
men,
Before the steamer sailed at noon
yesterday another Japanese was dis
covered hiding in the bow of the sloop
Aloha which was. riding at anchor in

pilot boys went on board the 'sloop yes

waterfront's Aching Void.

There was an aching void on the wa
terfront yesterday after the departure
of the warship fleet. The naval docks,
for nearly two weeks the scene of ex-
traordinary activity, looked like a de-
serted section of the town, mementos
oil barrels and other debris. In day
or two Captain Niblaok of the Naval
Station will have the docks restored to
their usual neat appearance and will
also have a general cleaning UP all
around the station. The Naval Row,
where five warships were anchored dur
ing their stay, had an extremely vacant
look, and in fact the harbor looked
like a house stripped of furniture on
moving day.
