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.
