J. BRUCE ISMAY AND THE IMMIGRANTS
PLAYGROUND on DECK.


ness. From Jan. l to June Il Of the
present year 34J.323 immigrants ar,
rived in this country, the great ma
jOrity through the port of New York.
The total number of immigrants for
the year 1908 was $50, 1913, n number
year 1882 having held the record for
volume of immigration up To that time.
This number of immigrants would
form Il city of greater population than
any in America except New York. Phil
adelphia and Chicago. The gross an
nual revenue from this traffic to the
various Atlantic steamship companies
is estimated at about $2O.OO0.0OO. Dur
ing the old days Il journey across the
Atlantic as a steerage passenger in
volved much discomfort and positive
hardship. There was scarcely any
fresh air in the steeraGe quarters and
very little light found its way down
into this part of the ship. The steam
ship companies damned rs many i'm
migrants into their vessels rs they
would carry and brought them over
with the least possible expenditure.
The air which the Steerage passengers
breathed was foul, their fare was poor
and they slept in open hunks. dressing
in full view of one another. the condi-
tons permitting of no privacy what
ever a veteran captain says:
Compare this state of affairs with
the provisions made for this same
class Of travel on the new Arabic,
which made her maiden voyage n few
weeks ago. and which represents about
the latest in steerage equipment. The
old open hunks have disappeared en-
tirely and all the third class people
sleep IN staterOoms holding only two,
four or six persons. These quarters are
just as roOmy rs those Of the first and
second cabins. though Of course they
are not so nicely fitted up. But there
is plenty of space, as well as wide
berths. looking glass and broad seat
in each room.
I'm the third class saloon the trav-
elers sit in swivel chairs at tables
spread with white linen. and the food
that is served is as substantial as that
which goes to the high priced passen-
gers. although the menu is not 50

The great Atlantic liners are bringing
TO the shores of America this summer
a vast number of immigrants from Eu-
rope. on account of rate war be-
tween different Atlantic lines rates as
low as so per passenger for the jour
ney from Europe to America have been
given. Fear has been expressed in some
quarters that the ten dollar immigrant
would prove n very poor sort of Amer
lean citizen, but the immigration au-
thoritieS at New York say that no mat
ter what the rates the laws passed to
keep undesirable immigrants out are
being rigidly enforced. and if the steam
ship companies bring over any such
passengers they are forced to take
them back.
]. Bruce Ismay. the new president of
the International Mercantile Marine
company, recently said that inspection
of third cabin passengers on steam
ships about TO sail showed the charac-
ter of these passengers to be rather
above the average of travellers in this
class Mr.. Ismay and his father, the
late Thomas Henry Ismay, founder of
the White Star line, We're influential in
introducing many of the improvements
which have been so beneficial to the
class making up the stecrage traffic.
He is head of the widely known ship
ping firm of Ismay, Imrie x Co, which
operates navigation lines from Eng
land 10 Australia and on the Pacific as
Well as over the north Atlantic. He
became head of the International NIer-
camille Marine company last spring.

ton traffic as an item of their bust

JAPANESE PROVERBS.

"Roses have thorns" and walls have

phrase is eff in Il hurry go round"

ROAD
WASHED AWAY
STORM SPOILS A ROAD ON WHICH
LARGE SUMS HAVE BEEN
SPENT.

WAILUKU, November ga very
high swell set in Kahului harbor unex-
pectedly last night or early this morn
ing, completely washing the road be-
tween Waikiki and Kahului along the
beach, and flooding portions of Kahului
The road leading to the seaport town
is almost impossible, as rocks of all
dimensions and sizes adorn the road
way from the slaughter house to the
bend, and water galore swamped the
lands of Kahului Some of the Jap
anese stores at Kahului are standing
in water about one foot deep.
This morning as the Claudine was
anchoring on her arrival from Hama,
Captain Parker remarked that it is the
worst he has ever seen at Kahului.
The tide was very high and the sea
boisterous. The officers of the S. S.
Nevadan called out to the Claudine
people, asking them to send the pilot
boat out, but with such a bad sea, it is
difficult for any kind of a boat to reach
the steamer. In fact it was so bad,
that the Claudine people telephoned
some of their passengers that the
steamer would go to Lahaina, and ar
rive at Maalaea at D. m. to take on
the mail and passengers. At this writ
ing the Claudine is still at Kahului and
the rough sea seems somewhat abated.
Very much money has been spent on
the road along the beach, but year af-
ter year it is washed into the ocean.
This however, is the worst occurrence
of all. 1t is just as Governor Carter
remarked when in Waikiki, that the
money Maui spends on roads is wash
ed away into the ocean.
Work of discharging the Nevadan
was stopped this morning, as neither
scow nor craft of any kind could reach
her.
