DANGER fJOT ENDED
X-Rays Are to Tell Extent of
Stevens' Wounds.
LUNGS HAVE BEEN INJURED
No Kfforts Made to Discover Corean
Phil, but Inquiry Will Be
Marie Japanese Angry
With Assusslna. .
SAN FRANCISCO. March 24. Durham
V. Stevens, the Foreign Adviser to the
v'orean government at Seoul, who was
shot anil seriously wounded by a Corean
mi the Ferry siution in this city yester
ihijr nioriilns. Is resting easily at the 9t.
Francis HuNinlal . nu California street.
Reports (luring the day wyre favorable
to lils recovery, but lie has not yet been
luoiiounced out of danger. His tem
perature continues normal anu nis res
piration remains tfood.
While the attending surneona professed
to he more than satisfied with Mr.
Stevens' condition, ay nip to ma have de
veloped. It was said at the Japanese Con
sulate, which indicate that one of the
bullets penetrated the lung cavity. A
consultation was held this afternoon at
which It was decided to make an X-ray
examination of the wounds tomorrow to
locate the bullets.
No steps to Prove Conspiracy.
Mr. Stevens received the following
lal'learam from the Japanese Minister
of Foreign Affairs today:
1 am profoundly pliockeii to learn of the
iloaiardly attempt on your life and am
.u.M.msly awaiting for reassuring nes of
our speedy recovery. In the meantime, the
Japanese Onnml-Oeneral at Ssn Franclaco
has been Instructed to offer you any assist
ance In his power.
Neither the local police nor the Fed
eral authorities have taKen any steps
towards ascertaining" whether the at
tempt upon Mr. Stevens' life was the re
sult of a conspiracy among the local
Coreans. Chief of Police Biggy expressed
the opinion that It was the work of two
factional malcontents and that no plot
to murder the Diplomat existed outside
of these two. one of whom Is in the city
prison and the other lying at the Ine
Hospital with a bullet through his right
lung as the result of the poor aim of his
accomplice. It has, however, been pretty
well established that at least four Co
reans mere concerned in the plot.
Harry B. Mofltt, In charge of the Se
cret Service t if lice, said that he had re
ceived no instructions from ashlngton
to make an Investigation into the at
tempted assassination and United States
Attornev Kobert T. Devlin was of the
opinion that it was a matter for the lo
cal police.
Japanese Angry With Coreans.
While, the local Coreans. of whom there
r several hundred, as a colony have
generally Ignored the Japanese Consulate
here, which represents mem as eu
the Japanese, this la the first time that
nv signs of Hostility nave Deen annwn.
The attack upon Mr. Stevens Is resented
aa much by the Japanese nera aj If tha
attempt had been made upon one of
their own countrymen. D. I Richard
son, Foreign Secretary to the Japanese
Consulate, said:
The coreans are represented by the Jap
anese Consulate. They have been accorded
the same treatment as citizens of Japan.
While they have seldom reported at the
Consulate, our relations have always been
cordial. They have been given the benefit of
the charitable work of the Japanese benev
olent organisations and practically have
every privilege that the Japanese have, so
far as this Consulate is concerned.
A large number of cable dispatches and
telegrams were sent and received at the
consulate during the day. It was ad
mitted that a thorough Investigation
would probably be made.
Nature of Stevens' Wounds.
Dr. F. S. Zumwalt, who made a very
careful examination ,of the wounds of Mr.
Stevena, said:
"One bullet entered just below the right
shoulder blade and penetrated the right
lung. The other entered near the pelvis
and narrowly missed the spinal cord. We
know the spinal cavity is Intact, from the
fact that there have been no signs of
paralysis. Nor is there any evidence that
the bullet entered the -abdomen."
The attack on Mr. Stevens la said to
have been instigated by a manifesto of
General E. Yle Yin Lung of the Corean
Righteous Army calling on all Coreans
to unite and do their best. to kill all
Japanese, their spies, allies and bar
barous soldiers. This document arrived
on the same steamer as Mr. Stevens.
Bullet Pierced Right Lung.
Dr. Zumwalt at the St. Francis Hos
pital made the following statement in
regard to the condition ot -Mr. Stevens:
The patient is doing as wen as we
could expect of one in such a critical
condition. One bullet passed through the
right lung, but no attempt will be made
to locate It for several days unless a
hemorrhage should take place. In that
event we shall operate at once. The pa
tient is recovering rapidly from the
shock."
STEVEN'S SISTER PROSTRATED
Her Husband Leaves to Co to Bed
side of Wounded Man.
WASHINGTON', March 24. Mrs. Joseph
I. Porter, of this city, a sister of Mr.
Stevens, has been prostrated since she re
ceived word of the attempted assassina
tion and Is under a physician's care.
Mr. Porter, accompanied by an unmar
ried sister of Mr. Stevens, will leave here
tonight for San Francisco to go to the
bedside of the wounded man.
NEWTRAP FOR RUEF
Heney Will Try Him for Park
side Bribery First.
CLEAR CASE AGAINST HIM
that $1,116,000, the aggregate amount upon
all his Indictments, was exorbitant. The
court ordered Ruef released upon a nom
inal bail of $5 upon each of 37 duplicate
indictments, but did not reduce the bail
upon the other Indictments, amounting
to $790,000.
Ruef stated this evening that he would
furnish bonds for this sum and expected
to secure his release from the County
Jail within a few days.

quarter of a million dollars' worth of

Anti-Trust BUI Goes to Committee.
WASHINGTON", March 34. The Civic
Federation bill Introduced yesterday by
Representative Hepburn, of Iowa, chair
man of the committee on commerce, has
been referred to the committee on Judi
ciary. No dat has been set for consider
ing the measure.
Vmbsen Will Testify to Paying and
Supervisors to Receiving Money.
No Possible Block to
Proceedings.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 24. (Spe
cial.) Francis J. Heney caught the
organized rorces of the graft defense
by surprise today, when he announced
in court that he would proceed to the
trial of Abe Ruef next Monday morn
ing in the Parkside bribery case. The
Impression had gone abroad that Park
side cases had been relegated to the
rear.
Mr. Heney has gained a great tacti
cal advantage by this move. In these
cases Ruef is accused Jointly with the
officials of the Parkside company of
having agreed to bribe the Supervisors
and ex-Mayor Schmltz to secure a trol
ley franchise for the Parkside Transit
Company.
Vmbsen Admits Giving Bribe.
J. E. Green, W. I. Brobeck and G. H.
Vmbsen. of the Parkside Company, are
Jointly indicted with Ruef. The evi
dence shows that Umbsen gave Ruef
$1.",000 on account, and wag to have
given him $J5,000 more, but the graft
prosecution began before the second
payment was made, and cheoiked the
negotiation. When called before the
grand Jury, Vmbsen made a complete
statement of the transaction. So im
pressed were Mr. Heney and the grand
Jury with his frank statement that an
understanding was reached by which
it Is understood that Umbsen will re
ceive immunity.
Ruef Between Two Fires.
Ruef will thus be between two fires.
Vmbsen will testify that he paid Ruef
the money and the Supervisors will
state that Ruef had promised the coin.
The cose will be the most complete
against the former boss.
A fiTther advantage Ilea in the fact
that Ruef was arraigned on this
charge after the Immunity contract
was annulled and he. has already
pleaded not guilty. There appears to
be nothing to prevent a speedy trial.
It Is believed that Ruef will be of
fered Into custody when the case be
gins, even If he should secure bail In
the meanwhile.
Louisiana Primary Law Void.
NEW ORLEANS. March 24. Louisi

BURNING OUT PEORIA DRYS
Fourth Incendiary Fire in Day
Marks Liquor Campaign.
CHICAGO, March 24. The fourth fire
of supposed Incendiary origin In Jollet
within 24 hours occurred last night, and,
like the three fires Sunday night, seemed
to be directed against one of the leaders
of the local option fight. The fire oc
curred in the plant of the Illinois Match
Company, which Is owned by Colonel
Fred Bennett, the leader of the "drys.
The fire last night, whicn followed the
fires in the Ruby Grain Elevator, the
Leach windmill plant and the Hardy ma
chine shops, started in the drying-room
of the match company's plant within 10
minutes after the night watchman had
passed through his room on his inspec
tion tour. The loss was comparatively
email, but 200 employes in the factory
will be thrown out of work for a month.
This fact led to a crowd of angry work
men making threats if the incendiaries
are found. A number of arrests have
been made.
Protest Against Japan.
PEKIN, March 24: The British mer
chants of Tien Tsln and Nleuchwang
have sent strongly worded protests to
the British government concerning the
course pursued by Japan with regard to
the Tsinmintun-Fakoumen Railroad. It
is held that Japan's obstruction to the
construction of this line is not only in
violation of the pledges given at Ports
mouth In the peace treaty with Russia,
but that it affects the entire future de
velopment of Manchuria.

WILL CONTINUE CONCERT
GERMANY'S NAVAL PROGRAMME
PURELY DEFENSIVE.
Prince von Buelow, Reviews Moroc
can and Macedonian Situation
in Speech Before Reichstag.
BERLIN, March 24. Referring to the
Moroccan situation in the Reichstag to
day. Chancellor von Buelow declared
that the Algeciraa act was equally bind
ing upon all the signatories. France had
had no occasion up to the present time
of reproaching Germany with a narrow
Interpretation of this agreement and It
was not the Intention of Germany to
change her views; but In return for this
Germany expected France to carry out
and observe the terms of the act in a
peaceful and friendly manner.
Referring to the Macedonian situation.
Prince von Buelow said the effort of
the great powers concerned to extin
guish the conflict has been rendered
futile because fresh fuel was continually
being thrown on the fire from the out
side. The foundation of the trouble did not
He In strife between Christianity and
Mohammedanism, but in the bitter
struggle between the various Christian
nationalities in the Balkans, each of
which sought supremacy of interests and
would try, in the event of the downfall
of the sovereignty of the Porte, to se
sure the greatest possible amount of
Turkish territory.
"I hope and believe." the Chancellor
said, "that the European concert will be
maintained, and I understand that this
same feeling prevails in the other cabi
nets, where the slight differences of
opinion probably soon will be over
come." During the remarks of the Chancellor
he said he regretted that he was unable
to give the contents of Emperor Will
lam's letter to Lord Tweedmouth, First
Lord of the Admiralty, which had
created such a stir In England. He said
this communication was purely private
and the assertion that it was an at
tempt to Influence the naval policy of
Great Britain was absolutely without
foundation.
"The purely defensive character of our
naval programme, In the face of the at
tempts to Impute to us aggressive inten
tions and plans towards Great Britain,
cannot tie repeated too often or too
sharply," the Prince declared. "We de
sire to live at peace and in quiet with
Great Britain and we therefore feel bit
terly that some British publicists should
Continue to talk of the 'German dan
ger.' "
Chicago Allows Merger.
CHICAGO. March 24. After a pro
