Champ Stowaway
Now Can't Get
Away From Port

Fifteen thousand miles of travel on
the Pacific within. three months has
brought James Mead, or Tom Doug
lass. no further than Honolulu. Mead,
alias Douglass, is now considered a
ward of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company because of his frequent at
tempts to stow away on its vessels.
He landed from the steamer China to-
day and beat it." accompanied only
by his alias.
Al strange career has fallen to the
lot of this stowaway. He came to the
islands a year ago in Matson steam7
er. He tried to return to California
some weeks after, but was transferred
from coast-bound steamer at sea, and
brought back. He became part of the
human flotsam and jetsam of the wa
terfront.
Captain Hans Thompson of the
China received radio message from
the Mongolia, "a hours out from Yoko-
hama, saying they wanted to transfer
a stowaway. Mead was greeted by
the China's officers as an old friend.
1t was this vessel in which he had at
tempted to leave the Hawaiian islands
months ago. He said he boarded the
Mongolia on its last outward voyage,
believing it was bound to San Fran
cisco. Four days after leaving port
he came out of hiding from the coal
bunkers. and was given a surprise
when told that he was headed for the
Orient Mead was transferred from
the Mongolia to the China with much
difficulty due to rough weather
On former occasion Mead is said
by those on the China to have trav-
eled under the nsme of Douglass. He
claimed to be an American and gave
his age at % years. He boasts that
he has covered more than $1,000 miles
in Pacific Mail liners. while his wan
derings in vessels of other companies
may have easily totslled another TO-.
900 miles.
Mead always turns up at the most
time and place. said an
officer in the China today. .sfIe may
have occupied a frst-class cabin or
soft spot in the coal bunkers. He
never refuses to work, and displays
seamanship IN attending to his duties
The police may take action in the
case Of Mead.

on His Trip to the Mainland

Charles r. Forbes, superintendent OF
public works and chairman of the pub
lie utilities commission, returned to
Honolulu in the Wilhelmina this morn
ing after a month and half spent
on the mainland.
One Of the things which Mr.. Forbes
did while away was to practically close

Oahu prison. The cells will be the
most modern OF their kind in the coun-
try. Each win be equipped with a
lavatory. toilet, metal table and two
comfortable hunks
There will be 20 cells. They will
cost $4,000. Forbes will award the
contract from the local Office. This
will not be done, however, until he has
conferred with the attorney-general
Forbes brought three bids back with
him-one from a prison supply COM
pany in st. Louis and the others from
iron works in Cincinnati and Cleve-
land.
While on the mainland Forbes visit
ed about 10 penal institutions In Cal
ifornia, Oregon, Washington. Illinois,
New York and New Jersey. In almost
every case he found that the inmates
of the institutions had erected the
buildings. Work of this kind is being
done on the local prison.
.'In the state of Illinois, said Forbes
today, the inmates not only built the
buildings, but they fabricated the
steel, assembled the cells and design
ed and invented their own locking de-
