MAU ACTIVITY IN SAMOA
ORDERLY PARADE THROUGH APIA
RESTRICTIVE LAWS IGNORED
(By Radio—Special to Press Association.) (Received May 5, 11.30 p.m.) APIA, May 4.
On Monday afternoon 200 members of the Mau from Palauli, headed by Autagavai and a brass band, with Mau flags flying, and 100 natives wearing Mau lavalavas, marched through Apia to Apia village for sivas and a sort of taalolo (dance). All laws restricting Mau activities were ignored. The parade was very orderly and no police action was taken.
Because of measles at Upolu, passenger contact with Savaii has been stopped, and other quarantine restrictions instituted by the medical department. The Mau are inclined to disregard these restrictions.
