Under GUARD
Chiyo Maru's Brig Held Four
Chinese Implicated in
Smuggling.

The visit of the Togo Klsen Kali
sha liner Chiyo Maru to the port of
Honolulu yesterday proved an inter-
'esting event to a number of promi-
nent Federal officials.
The steamer remained at Alakea
wharf for twenty-four hours. Dur
ing that time there was never a let
up in the maintenance of strict
guard over the vessel. Each and
every person that gained or left it's
decks was subjected to the closest
scrutiny.
The presence Of four alleged slave
dealers on board and the possibility
that an attempt would be made to
smuggle ashore other Chinese at this
port. was one matter that caused a
display of increased vigilance upon
the part of the officials at the port.
Collector of Customs Stackable
was an interested spectator as the
Chiyo Maru drew up at the wharf
on Monday morning.
Vow On is a Chinese boy who was
connected with the liner in the ca
pacity of mess boy. He was arraign-
cd before United States commission
ers at San Francisco, charged with
having attempted to smuggle ashore
| from that steamer n Chinese slave
girl. The girl was found by the i'm.
migration officers secreted in a closet
of the steamship, and she is report
ed to have confessed to the oficera
that she was hidden there by Vow
On. The man was remanded to the
custody of the United States mar
shall.
A longshoreman is responsible for
completely in an attempt to land a
number of Chinese from this vessel
and also the Manchuria.
The four Chinese captured by I'm.
migration Inspector Watts of San
Francisco were securely imprisoned
in the Chlyo Maru strong room dur
ing the stay of that vessel at Homo
lulu. These men had been held at
the Angel Island station awaiting the
departure of the japanese liner to
the Far East.
While leaving no cargo at this
port, the Chiyo carries $500 tons OF
merchandise and supplies for the ORR
ent, the greater part OF which will
be left at Manila. A quantity OF
quartermaster stores Is destined fol
the Philippine capital. There is also
a shipment of three thousand tons
of cotton for Japan.
One passenger left the vessel al
this port. In sailing from the Ala.
kea wharf shortly after 10 O'Clock
this morning, fourteen cabin ant
about fifty deck passengers were add
ed to the rather small number thai
originally left San Francisco and con
tinued the voyage to Japan.
Christmas was all to the merr!
on the Chiyo. The officers prepared
for the fastiye day and the larg,
dining saloon was beautifully decor
ated They say that Tommy Nc
|. Combe made an ideal Santa Claus
and in the distribution of presents
and souvenirs no one was forgotten
Piled high on the forward deck o
the vessel as she steamed through
the channel were six hundred sack
OF Oriental mail. The mail matte
reached to the upper rail of tn,
promenade deck, though it wa
speedily handled by the obliging bu
hard worked men connected with tn,
local postofflce.
