The Japanese liner America Maru,
Captain w f. FiImer arrived yester-
day afternoon from the orient, reach
ing port within Is minutes of the
hour she was expected In spite of a
strong flood tide Captain Filmer made
a docking that for neatness and expe-
dition has not been surpassed in the
harbor of San Francisco. The liner
brought A passengers and 3.037 tons
OF cargo. The freight included 1883
bales OF raw silk.
Among the passengers was Captain
W. c. Z. s. Filmer, who was master
of the liner Hongkong Maru, and is the

Young Filmer, who was accompanied
by his WIFE, has resigned from the
Toyo Kisen Kaisha service, and has
quit the sea for keeps. He is going
into business in Toledo, Ohio.
Freight Clerk Hickok of the America
Maru came home a patient in the
liners hospital. He suffered sun

in serious condition is said TO be
on the road to recovery.
Among the passengers was +. r.
Lutz of Manila, who had in his charge
four Filipino students who have come
to this country as wards of the govern
ment to be educated. Among the
steerage passengers were seven Chi

hama it was reported TO Captain Fill
mer that the body of a man lay under
the coal in one of the bunkers. A moi
some Odor had been called TO the at
tention Of DR.. II. d. Hawxhurst, the
liners surgeon, who identified the
smell as a decaying stowaway. Captain
Filmer ordered that the body be dis
inferred and gave instructions for the
preparation OF an alright receptacle
in which the remains could be pre-
served for the inspection Of the quar-
antine authorities in Honolulu.
While the carpenter built the mauso-
leum the black squad" shoveled coal
in the direction of o. odor The
source of the smell was reached after
two days steady shoveling. Instead
of dead stowaway ii proved to be
