Charges that thousands of Japanese are

This smuggling explains the fact that
the Japanese population In southern
California has doubled in the last three
years, PhelGn said.
"When was in Los Angeles recent
ly eighty Japanese who attempted to
enter this country by being smuggled
over the Mexican border and were ap-
pretended were being deported," Phe.
Ian said. ''For every eighty caught
two or three hundred come in
" As illustrating the carefully plan
ned attempts to overcome the law,
might point out that on Apiil 80 Of
this year, five Japanese stowaways
were found on board the SIS. Takao
Mau, in the port of San Francisco
These Japanese had been assisted by
the cook and steward on board the
Takao Maru. Two pleaded giilty to .
violation Of the immigration act and
were sentenced to six mo2ths each il

had been solicited by japanese runners
in Japan, who told them that they
would secure their admission into tn,
United States on the payment OF s0(
yen each, 300 yen to go TO the runners
and the other 500 yen to the employee
on board the steamship who would Sc
cure their landing in the United Stetes
Frequently japanese seamcn on

In June of last year, 0ghi Dinichi, {
seaman on board the steamship Teny'
Maru, attempted to swim ashore fron

disclosed that this Japanese had writ

that they were on the dock in an auto
