JAP PROCURERS ARE
HELD BY THE POLICE

The police detectives were busy last
night running to cover a horde of Jap
anese male procurers who infested the
streets of Chinatown and the Palama
section, Turing bluejackets to the rooms
of their eonsorts. The police have
been watching these Japanese for
some time Most of them are hangers
on of the Iwilei district, but since the
closing of that place have transferred
their field of operations to the Asiatic
quarters. Soda water shops, barber
shops and fruit stores have been the
rendezvous of these men, and the
women were close by. All the men
arrested are held for investigation.
