who, armed with prayer-bOOk. and
hymnal, declared that the Paradise of
the Pacific had been selected as the
promising field for future missionary
endeayor, failed to connect with Ho-
nolulu as a passenger in the Pacific
Mail liner Manchuria, which arrived
here bright and early this morning.
Yates is declared to have been the
victim of stern and unsympathetic
officialdom OF 'bloated corporation"
which was quite unwilling to exchange
transportation across the Pacific for
a free passport into the better land. !"
Yates, who boarded the Manchuria
at San Francisco, and soon after at
tempted to lose himself with a delega-
ton of thirty or more missionaries en-
route to fields of activity in Japan
and China, was finally singled out as
a black sheep in lambs raiment.,
The liner had proceeded well out
from the Golden Gate when Purser
Bourne, in making his roundup for
tickets, ran across Yates, sans trans
portation and the necessary where
withal to purchase the same.
The demand that Yates produce the
needful coin to make the ship go
along smoothly was met by placid
refusal. Yates declared that Paradise
was his destination. While this state
ment was not disputed, the Manchuria
officials possessed some notions along
these lines and decided that the par
ticular Paradise which Yates hoped
TO reach was not located in the mid
pacific
Capt Dan Friele issued orders that
the wireless operator get into touch
with the Pacific Mail liner Nile. The
British steamship was oyerhauled on
the afternoon of last Monday. Yates
was then told where he got off"
The Yates effects were bundled into
a ships boat, and without any elabor-
ate farewell ceremony, the young man
masquerading under the guise of
missionary was rowed to the waiting
Nile, bound for San Francisco.
The statement was made this, morn
ing that Yates acted as a man some
what demented. He was apparently
without funds. Until gathered in by
the Pacific Mail officers he is alleged
to have continually paced the deck
with prayer-book tucked under his
arm, and maintained sullen silence
regarding himself and his destination.

Freight Charges to Soar.
1t is forecasted in shipping circles
that the present demand for ships for
all classes of freight will soon result
in an immediate increase in rates. AL
though the lumber industry has called
for every available vessel on the
coast, the situation has become criti-
cal for shippers, as there is a big
demand for ships to handle the grain
of the Pacific coast
For years, the so-called boneyards
on the coast have been filled with
craft, which it was generally believed
had found their final place of rest,
and would never again pillow the seas.
