Perhaps "POPOWKA" was the origin assigned to a female Ellis Island arrival? Because there is a "PÖPOWKO:, Poland, which may be the actual name. (A female in response place of to the question "where are you from?" might answer "Popowka." (I am a Popokw0-ian)
POPOWKO is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Oborniki within Oborniki County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland. It is approximately 10 km west of Oborniki and 31 km NW of the regional capitol POZNAN.
I hope this helps as I will be starting my own search for my relatives, Gutowski's and Sabacinski's in/near Mlawa.

We have other records indicating the same for my great-grandparents, however their Ellis Island Records indicate they were from Popowka.
