SAMOA BOYCOTT
MAU PARADE IN FORGE (By Radio.) [Special to Press Association.] APIA, January 26. The latest, development of the Man is a boycott of the storekeepers throughout Samoa. One hundred uniformed Mau men, carrying big sticks, are parading the streets of Apia, and preventing the Samoans from patronising the Apia stores. The police warned the Man that the action was illegal, and further developments are expected. The failure of Mr Gurr to leave Samoa within the allowed thirty days has rendered him liable to arrest, but parole has been granted on condition that he keeps out of Apia and communicates with no natives, and that he leaves by the Tofua for New Zealand in February. Mr Gurr announced that he was settling in American Samoa, but the American Governor has announced that he will not be allowed to land there.
