OFFICERS BATTLE.
Pair of the Finest Have a
Lively Encounter.
Toma, Japanese Detective and
Jackson of the Bicycle Patrol.
Interference-Toma's: Knife.

Bicycle PatrOlman Nigel Jackson
who has become very popular among
police officers, and Toma, the Japanese
special officer, very often carried off
his pelt by any angry mood, had
one round fight on Nuuanu avenue
yesterday at about 1915 p. N.
A few days ago, Jackson handed in
at headquarters, a report against To-
ma. Meeting Jackson soon after, the
Japanese called him a bad name.
Jackson remained with his hands at
his side even when the japanese swore
to kill him.
Various officers heard the remarks
made by Toma against Jackson and
warned Jackson to be on the look
out
Shortly before the time mentioned
above, Jackson went into the tailoring
establishment of Leong Chong just
around the corner from the police sta
ton, for the purpose of trying on a
new coat. TOma rushed in and called
him the same name he did on a pre-
vious occasion. Lieut.. Needham was
standing on the corner and Jackson
called to him to come Before he ar
rived, the insulting language became
too much OF burden for Jackson who
soon made jelly of Tomas face. The
two then went into the yard next the
shop and went at it again there. Lieut..
Needham caught one of the officers in
either hand and pushed them apart
but he could not keep them off en-
tirely. Officer Akakani, who was in a
barber shop opposite, rushed to the
scene with the lather still on his face
and the two fighters were separated.
Jackson walked toward the police
station but Toma went around the back
way. 1t was only a moment when he
issued from the building carrying in
his hand a wicked looking knife with
blade some six inches long and as
sharp as a razor. With all haste posi-
bic he was making after Jackson. Cap
tain Spillner and Bicycle Patrolmen,
who were near by, made a rush at
Toma and securing his hands, took the
knife away from him. Jackson is con-
graduating himself that he escaped the
blade.
Even when at the door of the prison
yard, Toma repeated his insulting Ian
guage and threats. Both officers were
locked up on the charge of ARRAY but
it is almost certain that Jackson will
go free. The police officers all believe
Toma TO be entirely in the wrong. One
of them said yesterday that the Japan
csc had been carrying the knife about
with him for a long time
Jackson was allowed to go free in a
very short time Toma was freed at
o'clock by the Marshal.

DRIVEN MAD.
A Native Women Believes She
Has Been Bewitched.

A Native Women Believes She
Has Been Bewitched.
A telephone message from Waikiki at
a late hour last night, gave informa-
ton at police headquarters that Nancy
Kaalaelae, native woman living close
to John Enas home had gone insane.
The police wagon was sent out at once
The poor woman was found to be in a
pitiable state indeed. Although per-
fectly sane at moments, she would sud
denly scream as if in great fright and
throwing her hands over her head,
would pray that the thousands of peo-
pie running after her be driven off.
To the police officers she described
the first coming on of her affliction.
Along about noon she took a glass of
liquor and suddenly there came upon
her bad feeling. She says she knew
at once she was crazy, and even when
in her cell last night, remarked on her
misfortune and kept asking continu-
ally for her children.
The woman seems to be of the opin-
ion that the practice of kahunaism by
one of her enemies is responsible for
her condition.

John osborne has reached the pamph-
let stage. Rev. Mr.. osborne is out
with the book. 1t has two long arti-
cles. One is by the Bishop and the
other a reply by the publisher. The
quarrel is over the new mission Angli-
can chapel in Punahou. 1t is held by
the Bishop on church law basis that
the chapel cannot be used yet. Rev.
Mr.. Osborne differs and for one thing
says that he has appealed to the Arch
bishop of Canterbury. 1t is stated by
a layman who is we'll informed that
the Bishop claims the chapel cannot
be dedicated because it is on leased
ground.
