JAPANESE ATTEMPT
At BlA(KNA|uNG

This morning at about 6 o'clock a
respectable looking japanese, Nichi by
name, rushed into the police station
and asked for the protection OF the law.
He stated that little before midnight
a japanese named Sano had come to
the door Of his room at the corner OF
Pauahi and Smith streets, and wanted
him to go with him. He refused. A
little after midnight the man came
again and this time Nichi went with
him. AS soon as he reached the street
two other japanese rushed on him and
he was taken to the room Of one OF
them, at the corner Of Maunakea and
Beretania streets. Here four men. Sal
to, Sano, Kodama and Yamamoto,
locked nm In a room. They accused
him of having stolen Yamamoto's wife
and told him he would not be let out
unless he paid a sum between $50 and
500. Nichi protested LAT he had no
money on him so II was decided to let
him go out to procure his ransom. Sal
to and Sano followed him. Nichi said
he wanted to go to Lovejoy's store on
lower Nuuanu street. From here he
suddenly bolted from his companions
and made the police station In safety.
The police sent out and caught the two
men, who were still waiting on Nuu-
anu street. They were placed under
arrest and later on Yamamoto was
also secured.
