LAWS HEAVY HAND
BROUGHT ABOUT DOWNFALL OF
MAORI PROPHET"
Slave Who Had Made His Way TO a
Throne, and Who Claimed Divine
Power, Now a Prisoner in
New Zealand Jail.

Rua. Maori prophet" pOlygamist
and mOonshiner. sometimes called the
Maori emperor"-although unjustifi-
ably, IL appears-has been convicted
by a jury at Auckland. New Zealand.
upon certain counts, after a trial Of
extraordinary length. Rua, his pre-
tensions 10 divine powers. his temple
and stronghold in the wild and almost
inaccessible king country" In north
ern New Zealand. his fight with POI
licemen several months ago, I'm which
several men were killed or wounded;
his previous defiance OF authority
all this constitutes one OF the most
interesting chapters in the history OF
New Zealand.
Rua first attracted attention about
ten years ago. He set himself up as
sort of Messiah in the Urewera dis
trict, which is near the Bay OF
Plenty. on the north island OF the do
the king country" from old Maori
usage. is sort Of government reserva-
ton. 1t is inhabited by the most prim-
tive of the aboriginals of New Yea
land.
Rua was slave born. but he broke
Maori tradition by assuming the pre-
negatives of chief. and in addition
he mixed with native superstition a
smattering OF Christian belief. He
was glib and cunning and before long
he had strong hold upon the minds
Of the untutored members of his race.
AT Maungapohatu. native hamlet
in the center of the king country"
he posed as savior. and he was at
tended by bodyguard. Here. al
though by birth slave, and, there
fore, entitled TO but one wife, he took
unto himself spouses variously esti-
mated at from nine t. fourteen. and
he had built a circular temple OF con-
siderable ingenuity Of design and con-
structiOn, for the Maoris are good ar
chitects. In a cupOla of this structure
he professed to communicate with the
Almighty. and below him customarily
sat dozen Maoris, called after the
twelve apostles.
1t was "sly grog" selling or moon
shining which got the prophet into
trouble. To make liquor on ones
premises without permission and then
sell ii TO natives is against the law,
and when Rua was convicted of hav-
ing done this he had 10 serve a jail
sentence. Several indictments upon
the same score were hanging over his
head when he was released and re-
turned to Maungapohatu, but upon
his being summoned TO answer 10
them he defied the authorities.
Finally a strong force of police was
sent to Maungapohatu. Rua and his
henchmen put up a desperate fight.
Two Maoris were killed, and n num-
Der were wounded i'm the rifle fire, and
four policemen were wounded. Rua.
after resistance with teeth, fists and
feet, was captured.
Rua's trial occupied AZ days. He
was convicted of resisting the police
but was acquitted of having used Sc
ditiOus language. On two other counts
the jury disagreed.
