Bloody Battle Takes Place in
Vancouver HarbOr Early
Sunday.
H|NDUS HOLD THE SHIP
Overpower the Crew and RepeI
Government Officials and PO-
lice Who Attempt to
Get Aboard.

Ottawa, Ont, July ia report OF the
battle IN Vancouver harbor early to-day
between Canadian officials backed by po-
lice and a body of lIlndus on the Japanese
steamer KomaEata Maru was received by
the government officials tonight.
The steamer arrived three months ago,
with $50 Hindus. who claimed Brit
sh subjects the right 90 land in Canada
The Canadian immigration officials re-
fused them admission on the ground that
they were undesirable PERSONS. Several
times the Hlndus attempted to rcacn
shore but We're prevented by guard boats
on watch over the ship.
The courts sustained the position taken
by the government and the japanese cap
tain of the steamer was given until six
o'clock Saturday afternoon to sail fjr
India w'th his load of Hindus.
The report as given out by the i'm
migration department states:
shortly after the captain of the
Komagata Maru reported that the pas
sengers prevented him from getting
steam up and asked for assistance of
a hundred and sixty policemen and
immigration officials responded. They
went out to the vessel in the largest
tug available but were unable to gain
the deck Of the Komagata Maru in the
face of n stubborn resistance offered
by the Hindus on board. From all
parts of the ship they hurled down
on the officers coal iron bars. pieces
Of machinery, hatchets and clubs, in
jurinE many men and smashing the
windows of the tug.
some shots were fired by the Hin
dus, but the officers, although armed
in their anxiety to avoid bloodshed did
not return the fire. At . a. IN. rea-
LIKING the difficulty of reaching the
deck Of the vessel from the tug they
retired, taking with them 90 injured
men among whom was the captain OF
the tug, suffering from broken ribs
Fortunately none of the injuries are
likely to prove fatal.
"While DESTROYS that no unnecessary
violence shall be used the government Is
determined that the law shall, without
fail, be effectively and rigidy enforced
and with this end in view have author
ized the use of the cruiser Rainbow
to effect a boarding of the Komagata
Maru. If necessary to secure control and
maintain It, the IIindus will be handcuf-
| fed, proceeding which In view of their
violent actions last night, is considered
fully justified. The government has In
structed its agents to deport the rejected
Hindus on the steamer Empress OF
Japan next Thursday If 1t appears that
deportation by the KomaEata Maru can
not be promptly and effectively accom-.
pllshed,"
1t Is feared here that lives may be
lost before the Hndus are subdued, as
they have been virtually prisoners or
board the vessel for three months and
are in n desperate frame of mind. They
are known to have a number of rifles
and other firearms and many of them are
former Brtish-Indian soldiers Ions
trained in the use of weapons of war.

INJUNCTION AGAINST
PUBLISHING PRICES
ON BUTTER AND EGGS

Chicago, July 17.-An Injunction re-
straining the Chicago butter and egg
board from publishing prices on butter,
eggs and other products was issued to.
day by Federal Judge Lands.
In n suit filed some months ago the gov
eminent charged that by publishing
prices on the commodities in which 1T
dealt the butter and egg board artiicially
created higher prices than the market
warranted and violated the federal law
restraining such acts. The suit Is similar
to the recent action Of the government
against the Elgin board of trade which
resulted In the entering of a decree di-
recting that actual sales should be quoted
and no attempt to fix prices should be
made by what was known as the price
committee.
| 1t is the intention of the district at
torney to draft a similar decree in the
case of the Chicago butter and egg board
making actual sales the basis of butter
and egg quotations.
