Vancouver, July 21

Mr Stevens, Federal member, announced at a public meeting that he possessed proof of attempts planned against the lives of the captain of the Komagata Maru, the immigration officials and others, but by whom he was unable to specify at that moment. Evidently the seditiouist movement was spreading.

Gurdit Singh, the leader of the Komagata Mara’s Hindus, had offered for a bribe to take all the passengers home again, but the immigration officers refused to consider the offer. TURNING ON THE HOSE. MILITIA WILL OPEN FIRE. (Received 9.0 a.m.) Vancouver, July 21. The Rainbow has arrived. Commander Hose conferred with the naval, military, and civil authorities, and a plan was arranged to turn a steam hose on the Hindus if they still refused to submit by 2 p.m. If the hose proves insufficient, the militia and bluejackets will open fire at close range and board the vessel from the warship in three parties.

Tth© Hindus so far have refused to consider any proposition.
