She Bring From Japan to This Coast? It is reported that the crew of the Japanese steamer Kinkaza Maru were engaged all night in loading ballast for the trip. to New Westminster. The officers of the vessel count on weighing anchor this afternoon. This work, done by the crew last night, has caused more ru- mors to circulate concerning the purpose of the vessel in coming to these coasts. The question is being ask, if she is now shipping ballast for Vancouver what did she have aboard on her trip from Japan? Among the officers of the ves- sel are former naval men whe served in the Russo-Japanese war. The captain, whose name is Koga, has been before this in vessels coming to the British Co- lumbia coast. As the boat stopped overnight very close to Cape Chacun, off the south end of Prince of Wales Island, various suspicions are afloat as fo her purpose in going there. Many people connect her trip with the smuggling of Ori- entals into this province” or Alaska. RACED TRAIN Aviator in Monoplane Was Victor in Contest. Washington, D. ¢ C.
