Honolulu will do well TO check an
outcry against the transports or Manila
for alleged dumping OF stowaways at
this port. There is wealth of posi-.
biiity for false accusation and retort

best scheme for dealing with the mat,

stowaways that the town will secure a
reputation among these men, and they
will therefore board ships going in an,
other direction. Honolulu lost the
transport trade once, by INDUCING in

semblles for arousing public interest,
1t brought out many suggestions for

means OF bringing the people together
