Victoria, B. C. — A plot for the smuggling of Japanese across the Pa cific aa stowaways on board the steam er Inaba Maru. of the Nippon Yuaen Kaisha, now loading at Seattle, pre paring to sail for the Orient, was dis covered when the steamer waa ataiut to leave Yokohama for this side by the arrest of Yaomabol Klku 11 and two other seamen by the Yokohama hartior police. It teems that when the Inaba Maru was lying at Hongkong last voyage, Kikuchi had a secret cupla>arddesigned in his sleeping quarters and built by Chinese carpenters he had smuggled on board. This cupboard waa built aa a hiding place for stowaways, Kikuchi having entered into an arrangement with Japanese residents at Seattle to smuggle stowaways. He received re muneration from the Seattle Japanese and the stowaways. Shortly before the Inaba Maru left Yokohama the cupboard waa discover ed by the police and a Japanese stow away hiding in it. He was arrested, aa were the seamen. A Yokohama pa per says Kikuchi has liven engaged in smuggling stowaways from Japan to some Japanese at Seattle, receiving remuneration from both parties.
