Now men-some men-have been

also have behaved as a good little hu-

lights on them when they least expect It
and then they try to kick it into eter-

FOOLED THE
COMMIT TEE
Japanese Get Fire
Claims Money
Falsely.
Three Arrests Made B,
Police For Gross
Cheat.
One Man lmpersonated His Broth
er - Weman Draws Money
For Real Claimant.

The arrest of three japanese by tn
police yesterday disclosed an ingeniou.
attempt on their part to get posses
sion of fire claims money in the hand.
Of 5. Ozaki, as trustee. The three mer
who were arrested are said to have
confessed that they tried to defraud
the fire claims trustees out of small
amounts by successfully impersonat-
ing claimants who were really entitled
to the money. Whether there have
been other attempts at fraud is not
known, but hereafter an even stricter
watch will be kept to prevent any false
limpersonations before the Japanese fire
claims committee
The plan to defraud was simple
though ingenious. Nakamura Hikoichi
one of the men arrested is charged
with having collected ninety dollars
fraudulently. He was arrested on
warrant charging him with gross
cheat. Nakamura has a brother who
is on the mainland just at present, and
in his absence, the Jap thought that
he might just as we'll collect the
money. He had in some way obtained
possession OF his brothers certificate
issued by Consul Saito and presented
this to the committee. He had no diff
Guilty in convincing the committee that
he was his own brother and forthwith
the money was paid over to him.
Afterwards it was discovered that the
real claimant was in the States and
to have confessed that he had falsely
represented himself as his brother. A
warrant was issued for his arrest yes
terday and he has employed counsel to
defend.
The other cases are different. Fuku-
shima and Miyamoto were arrested as
accessories in defrauding the commit
tee. The real culprit-a woman-es-
Japan or at least to have left the coun-
try. Her name is Nishimura and she
is said to have been employed as a
nurse at the Melrose some time back.
Her plan was exceedingly simple. She
went to the committee with another
woman's claim and represented herself
as the real claimant. The committee
was doubtful but became convinced
when the woman brought along Fuku-
a hotel keeper and Miyamoto
who positively identified her for what
she said she was. Fukushima claimed
to have known Nishimura for a num-
Der of years and upon this evidence the
claim, amounting to 1892 was paid.
A few days ago the claimant herself
appeared before the committee and
asked for her money. She had been on
the island of Hawaii and claimed that
her certificate had been stolen. Her
testimony as to identify was conclusive
and the committee was compelled to
recognize the claim. Then Editor Shi-
ozawa who is member of the commit
tee, started to do a little detective
work, and soon learned that the COM
nittee had been grossly imposed upon.
and Miyamoto both APP
peared before the committee and after
,ross-examination confessed every
thing. Warrants were ISSUED for the
arrest of both, but the woman had dis
appeared. The cases will probably |
come up in the police court today.

There is high fun that night by
the red blazes when all the stores
have been replenished, and all the
troopers paid, and the next day, per-
haps,-if that letter did indeed bring
the pretorian good news,-there Ire
games in honor of the event: chariot
races, mimic combats, and wrestling,
with games for 'the common people"
And the next day after that the Off
GERS get up a wild-boar hunt down
by where Carlisle now stands, and
have good sport, as the affairs they
erected to fallen monarchs of the
forest tell us they often had.
What fun they had to make up for
all those dull days gone beforeI How
they sampled the good things just
come from Tiber, and ate the roasted
boar and venison their spears had
brought down that day in the for
