ANOTHER OUTLAW
CASE ABOARD MAKURA. CAN LAND NOWHERE. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. • SYDNEY, June 3. (Received June 3, at 10.10 a.m.) An extraordinary story is related by Reginald Hafkines, on the steamer Makura. Practically the circumstances are tho same as in the Paul Freeman case. Harkines explained that he was arrested in Canada as a deserter early in this year, and was placed on the Niagara. He escaped at Honolulu, but was re-arrested and placed on the Makura. Ho was not ailowed to land in Canada or Australia, and is now being compelled to criss-cross the Pacific indefinitely. Harkines contends that it Is a case of mistaken identity, saying that another Harkines is the real deserter, which view is shared by the chief engineer and th« officers of tho vessel. Harkines is a native of Nebraska, but possesses an alien registration certificate.
