While the China from the Orient
brought in about a hundred japanese
immigrants, the Korea leaving in the
afternoon for Japan took away $50

there were scores OF friends to bid
farewell and they presented a typical
Honolulu scene, large number OF the
departing being covered with Hawaiian
hoWers and many of those at the
