MORE RUSSIANS
GOING TO WORK
New Arrivals Want Employment
and Others Start for
Kauai.
tFrom wednesday s Advortiser.J


With the exception Of few fami-
lies still being held at the Quarantine
Island, all the Russians who arrived on
the Mongolia last week were yesterday
taken to the immigration station, and
their examination begun Those who
were held are suffering from mild cases
of chickenpox.
The days work of Immigration, In
spector Halsey and his assistants re-
suited in about seventy-fve of the Rus
SLAMS being passed, and all these went
at once to the shed Of the planters as
sOciation, where they were fed and
housed.
As there are almost two hundred
awaiting examination, the federal au-
thorities still have their hands full. So
far none of this lot of immigrants have
been found who do not come up to the
immigration requirements. One little
boy whose arm is deformed may be the
cause of his whole family being de-
ported, according to statemJnt of one
of the officials yesterday, unless some
one can 20 on his bond that he will not
become public charge.
Better Looking Crowd.
1t is the general opinion of the police
officers and the authorities who have
handled this last lot of Russians that
they are better looking crowd than
those who have come before. The men
look cleaner, and present far better
appearance than their countrymen al
ready here and the women, also, are
less slovenly than the others.
Special Agent Perelstrous met the
men as they were released from the i'm
migration station, and directed them to
the shed, all of the families accepting
the invitation and making themselves
comfortable in the places provided for
them by the planters association.
Several rather warm arguments took
place between Perelstrous and the Rus
slams, but all the new arrivals went
away apparently satisfied.
"They are all right now" said Mr..
Perelstrous, "but we've got to watch
them"
None of the malcontents have as yet
reached the new Russians, according to
Perelstrous, although they had, plenty
of opportunity to do so. When they
were taken from the wharf to the sta
ton, Inspector Halsey had so few men
at his command that it would have
been almost an impossibility to prevent
anyone from getting among them. At
the end of the street under the coaling
railroad, a number of the old Russians
gathered in an effort to see the new
arrivals, but police officer was sta
toned there to induce them to keep
away.
Places Ready.
1t is highly probable that those of
the newcomers that have already been
passed will be sent to the plantations
today or in the near future. Ten fami-
lies are wanted at Olaa, ten at Waia-
lua, eight at Hilo, ten at Onomea, and
eight at Pupukea, so the Russians need
only take their choice.
About twenty-five Russians who have
been living in the 1wilei camp and
stockade went to the planters shed
yesterday and requested work, and they
were sent to the Koloa plantation on
Kauai last night on the Kinau.f They
were extremely cheerful when they
were sent off and after wagonload of
their household goods, ana wagOnload
of themselves had been sent down to
the steamer, the balance = them start.
