PASSAGE MISSED
MR MARK'S LUGGAGE
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). (Received this day at 8 a.m.) LONDON, Sept. 16. Customs stupidity on the Swiss frontier in. disembarking Mr Marr’s luggage, though franked through as official, caused him to lose a hurried passage home. He arrived in ample time to join the Macedonia at Marseilles with the idea of tranferring at Aden in the Mongolia, which the owners were kindly delaying for the purpose. Marr hoarded the Macedonia carrying only his pyjamas and shaving kit. A frantic telegraph revealed the whole of his baggago was twenty-four hours behind so he had reluctantly to leave the ship just previous to sailing at midnight and hurriedly return to London. He joins the Otaranto at the week-end and reaches Fremantle three days after the, poll. He has cabled his parliamentary friends asking them to -look after the electorate, confident that his supporters will rally to his aid in his ill-duck.
