VIOLENCE FEARED
FROM HINDUS IN
CANADIAN HARBOR
Orientals Determined Not
to Return to Their Native
Land Observe Cere-
monies on Their Ship.

Vancouver, B. c., July 1S.-With the
S52 Hindus refused admission to Brit
ish Columbia through the invoking of
the provincial law against foreign la
Dor, although they are British subjects,
declaring that they will not be sent
back to the orient without strong re-
sistance, and the authorities equally
determined that they shall take their
departure and that very soon, fears
were expressed here tonight that vio-
lence would come before the Japanese
steamer Komagata Maru, on which the
turbaned horde has been held prisoners
for many weeks, puts to sea.
All attempts on the part of Captain
Yamamoto to prepare the vessel for the
return voyage were being thwarted by
the East Indians, and the Japanese
crew feared to interfere because of
their numerical weakness
The captain was virtually a prisoner.
and with the knowledge that there was
a large quantity of firearms and am
munition aboard the <omagata Maru,
the Vancouver police ana port authori-
ties hesitated to board the vessel to re-
store him to command, feeling sure
that n conflict would result with pos
Slble loss of life.
Hold Oriental Ceremonies.
The fact that the Hindus are daily
holding oriental ceremonies on board
the Komagata Maru, during which.
barefooted, they dance frenziedly to
the beat of tom toms, is looked upon as
significant by the authorities. They
believe that through religious fervor the
Hindus are steeling themselves for any
emergency that may come. The Cana
dian cruiser Rainbow after being out
of commission for some time, was be-
ing rapidly refitted at the Esquimault
naval station.
Whether it win be called upon to
escort the Komagata Maru beyond the
three mile limit despite the threats and
possiblel activities of its dusky passen-
gers, or merely held in readiness for
eventualities remains to be seen.

Wide interest has been developed

coincidence to be considered is the
fact that at present DIR. Edward An

greatest authorities on the brain in

In the meantime it is very prob
able that l shall make drawings of
the brain and make measurements.
This data, with any other that | may
obtain, will be left to the person who
is to make the analysis.
But, as | said before, nothing def
mite has been decided upon Any one
familiar with anatomy realizes the
time required and the difficulties of
such performance, and it is entire

what will be done.

The brain is now in charge of DR..

it is likely to remain in his charge
for some time. Since my fathers
death my mind has been in a tur-
moil, and planning for the future has
been out of the question In his
death | not only lost a father. but

his father, the entire work being done
by his own hands. He is also making
provisions for leaving his own brain
