AN UNFORTUNATE
PORTO RlCAN

Ruperta Kakia, a Porto Rican in
vestigated yesterday morning by DR..
Emerson for insanity, told a strange
tale of hallucination. For years he
had been visited at regular intervals
by Saint Antonio, who advised him on
all the events of his life, prescribed
herbs for him in his sickness and ad-
vised him as to his actions. The saint
would appear to him on special occa-
sions in response to prayer and Ruper-
ia informed the physician that he
would do anything asked of him by
his sanity adviser. If the saint told
him to cut his throat he would do it,
if he wanted him to jump into the
sea, into the sea he would go. The
visitation of ST. Antonio which
brought Ruperta to the attention of
the police occurred on Sunday morn
ing, when he was told to dress and go
to the police station, gathering up all
the paper of all colors found on the
way When he appeared at the sta
ton he had about bushel of scraps
tucked inside his shirt. Under the cir
he was adjudged insane
and ordered to be confined in the asy-
lum.
Kakia has been a well behaved and
industrious man. This is the first time
he has ever needed police attention
in Honolulu.

There was some speculation as to the at.
titude of Mayor Mccarthy, but he announced
yesterday that he had signed II. being I'm.
pressed with the Importance OF creating the
