Kawamoto agair took to his heels, and Briscoe summoned a patrolman, while Matsumayo doggedly kept aller the fugitive. At Second Street and South Park, they met Patrolman Aanear, and Matsomaye called upon him to attest Kawamolo. As the patrolman placed his hand upon him, Kawamoto drew bis kaila and lunged. Anacar dodged the knife, and, drawing his club, attempted to disarm the sailor, meanwhile advising him to drop the koife, and return to his vessel.
Kawamoto, Eowever, was frenzied and sprang at the patrolman again and again with the jury of wild cat. Mateumaye shouted: Shoot him; or he will kill you! Ansear then fired over the head of his assailant. The flash of the weapon almost singed the sailor's hair, but instead of making him desist, it seemed only to infuriate him to a greater degree, Ascear fired a second time in the air, and in retreating, backed against a telegraph pole. As he stumbled the Japanese made another spring, and this time the point of his kaile scratched Andear's jaw, and tore his coat. Aanear then fired directly at him, and he fell mortally wounded. The ballet ́passed through his left lang, Annaar telephon- ed for the waggon. Kawamoto was placed in it, but died within a few blocks of the hospital"

Be does not -deny that be received that sum dering the 24th session, but it was merely borrowed; it was not received as a bribs. He wrote a promis sory note for the amount. This fact is known by all his friends. He knows nothing of the Y3,000, which in the verdict he is said to bove received during the 23rd session of the Diet. If the fact was time he had no need to conceal it. As the result of the pressat occur rence he has been condemned to death so far as his public life'ls concerned, and he sees 20 necessity of denying facts.

That simplifies the work of the police considerably in what may be termed a social sense, but in its pre sent condition the force simply cannot grapple efficiently. with all the work there is to be done. If a small corps of Chinese police could be formed and used for the discovery and repression of secret societies exclusively, they would soon bring about a wholesome change. No doubt there are dificulties in THE abip establishing such a force, as it may be said that
the class of Chinamen who would offer to serve would be little more than chartered bandits themselves. But with the support of some of the capable and influential leaders of our Chiness community, the difficulty, we think, could be gor over. There might be far worse schemes, in fact, than to form a committee of such men to supervise the work of the force, and if the hunting down of the secret societies did not occupy the whole of their time, they could be usefully employed in a determined campaige against the Chep Jee Kee gambling dens which, we fear, are eating like'a canker into the heart case for any lawlessness among the Chinese of the community.
