EDUCATED RUSSIAN
IS A STOWAWAY
Paul UIitkin's Case to Be In
yestigated Under Orders
From Washington

A Russian stowaway discovered
on board the army transport Buford
shortly after the troopship left Naga-
saki is now closely guarded prisoner
on Alcatraz island. Healthy, educated
and possessed of some money! he would.
under ordinary circumstances, have
been allowed to go ashore with the
other stowaways upon the arrival here
Tuesday morning of the Buford. Act
ing under orders from Washington, the
Immigration officials ordered the man
into custody and he was taken to
Uncle Sans island prison. He will be
brought before Commissioner North
this morning.
At North's office yesterday it was
stated that even the mans name was
unknown to the commissioner. and that
no information would, be given out
about him until today.
Paul Ulitkin is the name of the
stowaway. and according to Captain
Tebin, quartermaster of the transport
Buford. he is a man of intelligence
above the average He made his way
on board at Nagasaki in the khaki
uniform of United States marine. He
was detected at the first muster, duly
logged as stowaway and turned over
to the engineers department to make
himself useful. As soon as the troop
ship had passed quarantine the Blu
ford was boarded by two well dressed
Russians who begged that Ulitkin be
allowed to land. They refused to tell
Captain Tobin how they knew their
friend was on board.
Captain Tobin explained that under
the immigration laws it would be neces-
sary to keep the stowaway on board
until the Buford arrived at San Fran
cisco and the immigration authorities
had passed on his case. They offered
to pay his passage, and when this was
refused, begged permission to speak
with him for few minutes. This also
was refused and Ulitkin, who had been
locked in the brig when the liner
entered Honolulu. was held incomuni-
cado until the vessel left the island
port.
Ulitkin told his shipmates that he
was an electrician and an expert teleg-
rapher. In the freroom he became
quite favorite 1t is customary to
give stowaways the hardest and most
menial tasks that fall to the lot of
the black squad. Ulitkin accepted his
fate philosophically and did whatever
he was told. cheerfully and well. He
said that he had been accused of being
a spy, but declined to enter into details.
He is young, well built and speaks five
languages, English among them.
