Charges that officers and members of
the erew, of tho Pacific. Mail liner Mon
golia havo been guilty of smuggling
Chinese In this country by substituting
returning Asiatics for newly arrived
Mongolian snilors with shore leave were
.investigated. The investigation is ex.
peeted to extend to other vessels plying
between tho orient .and Hits port.' The
particular .charge which was- brought
. concerns tho last visit of the Mongolia
to this port. It is alleged that three
Chinese. -sailors .were released to visit
Chinatown, the customary bond -for
their return, tO' the vessel being deposit
ed with tho government 's immigration
bureau.-1 T4ireei Chinese sailors returned
and the bonds were exonerated. Jt is
now charged that the original sailors
stayed away and three Chinese who
-wanted to return to their native land
were shipped on board in their places.
In view of the fact that the charge
may involve members of the steamship
erew, the immigration authorities pro
pose to listen to testimony from Cap
tain Heurv Morton of tho Mongolia
