In Corea. The Nlchl Xicni said that
Jaoan s Manchurian policy would prob
ably be remoulded as a result of his
trip-" . .
Two days before his departure the
Prince was principal guest at a dinner
to the International Pres.- Association
given bv the Minister of State. Alluding
to his Manchurian trip in his speech, he
said it had no political Import. He was
merely going in order to acquire In
formation to enable him to form an in
telligent opinion about Manchuria. Co
incident with l.ia departure, an interview
was jmhlished at Tokio with Dr. Oka
matsu. Commissioner of the South Man
churian Railroad, advocating the ap
pointment of a Governor-General for
Manchuria and administration similar to
that in Formosa. He said that it was
true there was an agreement which pre

- TOKIO. Oct. 27. The body of Prince
Ito, the murdered elder statesman of
Japan, will be taken aboard the Japanese
warship Iwate at Darirn and will be
' broicht to Japan accompanied by a full
e-uite representing the entire nation. The
body lay today in a hotel at Parlen, the
coffin covered by a simple white pall.
Ouards surrounded the hotel and only the
Prince's personal staff was admitted.
Throughout the day telegrams poured
Into Tokio from every country in the
world and the officials of the foreign of-
. fice Rre busily engaged in answering
them.
Before the official announcement of
Prince Ito's death difficulty was encoun
tered, which was of purely technical na
ture, in avoiding acknowledgement of the
statesman's actual demise. This was
obviated later when the death was offl
1 cially announced, an ordinance being si
multaneously Issued and antedated, be
stowing unusual honors, one of these be
ing advancement from junior to the first
rade in the court rank.
So Change in Corea n Pol ley.
Those closest to the throne say that
the Qnperor is deeply affected by the
assassination of the Prince. He has
asked for every detail and apparently
Is unable to understand why the murder
wa committed, in view of the evident
popularity of Prince Ito. But when in
formed of all the fact so far as they
have been learned here, the Emperor or
dered that there must be no change in
policy toward Coera.
Tho Kmperor of Coera has cabled his
sympathy to the Fanporor of Japan as
well as to Princess Ito at Oiso.
Same Gang That Killed Stevens.
The assassin probably will be tried at
Iarien. Nine alleged accomplices have
been arrested and it is expected the In
vestigation will show that the plot was
hatched at Seoul. The Japanese authori
ties are determined to unearth the guilty
one because the assassination of Prince
Ito is believed to have been planned by
the same persons who planned the murder
of Durham White Stevens, the former
diplomatic adviser to the Corean govern
ment, at Pan Francisco In The
newspapers here comment on the escape
of one of the associates of the convicted
murderer of Mr. Stevens.
The leading statesmen of Japan, who
have been talked with on the subject,
assert the death of Prince Ito will not
affect the Japanese policies at home and
abroad. While Prince Ito was powerful
and popular, the general policy of the
Japanese government today Is not dic
tated by the elder statesman but by the
younger politicians, who are determined
to follow peaceful development.
REJOICES OVER ITO's DEATH
, Corean Patriotic League Says Ilis
tory Will Honor Assassin.
HONOLULU. Oct. 27. The Corean
Patriotic League has isued a circular
expressing satisfaction with the
assassination of Prince Ito. It says:
"Now is the time for our 20.000.000'
of people to secure their Independence.
Ito is dead. He brought to our country
the rule of the Japanese and enslaved
the people. His selfishness has re
ceived its reward. His crimes were
unpardonable and what happened to
him was a fitting reward for his trick
ery and a Just punishment for the
theft of our country.
"It is not known to us who the pat
riotic Corean was who shot Ito. but
whoever It was did it for the sake of
his country and his name will be writ
ten with honor In our country forever,
as an example of self-sacrlflcing pat
riotism before 10.000.000 of slumbering
people."
PEKI.V HEARS OF 1TCVS DEATH
Chinese Read Speech and Assasslna-
- tlon Simultaneously.
PEKIN. Oct 27. The assassination of
Prince Ito became known in Pekln at
the hour the government received the
report of the speech which the Prince
recently made at Darlen. In this speeah
the statesman emphasized the fact that
It was Japan's duty and Intention as
well as the duty of the Japanese In
Manchuria to respect the policy of the
open door and equal opportunity for
ail. He said the Russian and Japan
ese Interests in Manchuria were iden
tical and raorfover Manchuria would
develop in keeping with the growth
there of Russian and Japanese Inter
ests. The speech made a good impression
here, where the assassination of the
Prince la regarded as having removed
the Japanese most likely to allay exist
ing contentions in Manchuria.
SECRET AIM OF ITO'S JOCRXEY
Tliough Declared Private, It Had
Great Public Importance.
VICTORIA. FS. C Oct. 27. Arrivals' by
the steamer Tango Maru state that the
trip of Prince Ito to Manchuria, while
officially stated to be private and non
political, was made partly at the instance
of Marquis Katsura. Premier, and Count
Komura. Foreign Minister. An officer of
the army and one from the navy were
detailed to accompany him as guides to
the scenes of the battles of the recent
war. The Journey was treated by the
Japanese press as one of great moment.
Tokio newspapers containing columns of
references. The general opinion as ex
pressed by the Japanese newspapers was
that Prince Ito was on an important
mission. Tollating expressions of vernac
ular papers, the Japan Mail said:
Certain publicists seem determined
that his highness has an important pur
pose in making this Journey. They be
lieve that, in view of the keen scrutiny
concentrated by foreign powers on
Japan's relations- with China, the Prince's
trip has been planned with the object
of reducing the dimensions of Japanese
enterprise in Manchuria and of the ma
chinery for fostering and protecting it.
"The forecasts pointed to ths with
drawal oT the Governor-General at
Kwantung and entrusting his work to
Consular hands. One Japanese news
paper maintained that Prince Ito was
to have been entrusted with a position
Ju Manchuria similar to that he had held
Ambassador Corrects Stories About
Purpose of Prince.
ROME, Oct. 27. Japanese Ambassador
Hayashi today expressed a wish that the
press would correct what he considers a
false impression regarding the purpose of
Prince Ito's visit to Manchuria. The pub.
lished assertion, which had even been at
tributed to Russian Foreign Minister Is
wolsky. that the Prince had gone to
Manchuria on a mission having to do
with the relations of Russia and Japan
was untrue, he said.
On the contrary, the trip was a private
one and the exchanges between the Prince
and the Russian Finance Minister were
those of ordinary courtesy only and the
meeting of the two men due to chance,
said Mr. Hayashi.
Loss to Russia as Well as Japan.
9T. PETERSBURG, Oct. 27. Today's
papers, commenting upon the death of
Prince Ito. call attention to the lattcr's
friendly attitude toward Russia since the
war and say that he opposed those influ
ences In Japan which wished to renew the
conflict. They describe the Prince's death
as a loss to Russia as well as to Japan.
BOYS ITloot here
LADS NOW IX LOS ANGELES
HAVE LOCAL RECORD.
Emery Rabouin, Arrested, and Earl
Hijrley, Who Escaped, Robbed
Council Crest Homes.
Portland police have ascertained that
Emery Rabouin. who was arrested Tues
day in Los Angeles, and Earl Hlgley, his
companion who evaded the police In the
Southern city, are the youths wanted in
this city for two sensational robberies
committed October 15 on Council Crest.
The boys secured several hundred dol
lars worth of loot here, after binding a
servant in one of the houses ransacked.
These two youths within the past three
months have operated In every Pacific
Coast city of any consequence and during
that time baffled theefforts of police
detectives until Tuesday afternoon. Both
boys had been paroled from the Reform
School at Chehalis. Wash.
It was largely through the efforts of
Detectives Craddock ancP Mallet, of the
local police detective bureau, that they
were finally located by the Los Angeles
officers. Soon after the Council Crest
robberies the detectives learned the Iden
tity of the young- burglars and traced
them to IOs Angeles, where the police
were notified of their presence.
It was the afternoon of October 15 that
the young burglars entered the home of
Arthur Bowman. Roswell street and Pat
ton road. looting it of everything of value.
Immediately after this they entered the
home of George El Waggoner, a short
distance away, at 725 Patton road, and
after binding and gagging the maid.
Sophia Hamre. ransacked the dwelling.
They then made good their escape.
These two jobs are not the only ones
Higley. who escaped. Is concerned In
here. He. with David Curtis, a 15-year-old
boy. now in the County Jail, robbed three
houses on the East Side. Curtis was
caught two weeks ago. The residences of
P. L. Reed. 1110 Grant street. Mrs. H. C.
Gertz. 410 Fremont street, and Charles
R. Lillls. 407 Morris street, were the ones
bunelarized by the lads.
Gaining confidence by their exploits in
Tacoma. Seattle. Portland. Everett and
other cities, the youths had become even
more daring in Los Angeles and perpe
trated such dare-devil robberies as to
astound the officers there. In that city
they had stolen two horses. After en
tering a house and holding up the mistress
and servants at the points of revolver?
they would leap on the horses and be far
away before the arrival of the police.
It was on one of these raids Rabouin was
caught. The young prisoner will be prose
cuted In Los Angeles. After lie has served
his time there he will be brought back to
face charges brought against him in con
nection with the burglaries committed in
Portland.
POLICE ARE AFTER HIGLEY
Hue and Cry Is Started for Boy
Partner of Raboln.
JOS ANGLES. Cal.. Oct. 27.-(SpeciaI.)
To catch Earl Hlgley. partner of Emery
Raboin. who was arrested late yesterday
afternoon, after officers in an automo
bile had chased them several blocks, and
who is wanted by the Portland police,
bulletins bearing his description are be
ing sent broadcast by the Is Angeles
police and telephonic accounts of the af
fair are being given to officials through
out Southern California.
Raboln. who is IS yean, old, has been
taken to the County Jail to await trial
In the Juvenile Court. To these two
boys the police credit many burglaries
which have been corr.mlttted in the south
west part of the city in the last week.
Raboin has confessed to several. Police
officers say that the boys sometimes used
an automobile to carry away their stolen
goods and sometimes appeared on nunc
back. The officers saw the boys on horseback
in Washington street yesterday and gave
chase. They caught Raboln, but Higley
continued galloping until, when near
Ro.edale Cemetery, he forced his horse
to Jump a wall and dashed away across
the fields, where it was impossible for an
automobile to follow.
Raboin said that he and his companion
had run away from a reform 6chool at
Chehalis, Wash.

Federal Provision for Cree
Indians Also Scored.
BILLINGS. Mont., Oct. 27. The feature
of the fourth and' fifth sessions of the
fourth Drv Farming Congress was the
sneech of Louis W. Hill, president of the
Great Northern Railway. His talk was
devoted to flowing the results of the
dry-farming movement In Montana and
he" proved by his figures, shown upon
chart?, that Montana is now to be classed
as an agricultural 6tate.
Mr. Hill had a little bad luck, because
he wanted the name of the congress
changed from "dry farming" to some
thing that would be less suggestive of
barren land. In this he was not entirely
alone, but when the vote was taken it
proved that there were too many against
him.
In his morning talk Mr. Hill declared
that the name would have to be changed
or the Great Northern would. In a meas
ure at least, withdraw its support from
the congress. At the noon session, when
he made his set speech, he prefaced it
with the statement that, no matter what
was the action of the congrerw. he would
continue to give the movement the sup
port of the Great Northern as far as he
was able.
Montana Not Alive.
Mr. Hill said in an Interview this
afternoon ' that the people of Montana
were not alive to their opportunities
and urged the pushing of the move
ment from which the congress had
originated.
Mr. Hill characterized the Govern
ment opening of the Flathead reserva
tion as a "huge fake." enticing people
from all over the United States to
draw land, while only 3 per cent got
farms. He said the people spent not
less than $12,000,000 in railroad fares,
and. while the Great Northern got its
share, he said that the money was not
what it wanted.
Mr. Hill said the Government was
making a mistake in setting apart a
million acres of land for the Cree
Indians. He said that these Indians
are not American Indians and that they
do not speak the language of any other
United States tribe.
Rad Management Scored.
He regarded this as a particularly
bad piece of management on the part
of the Government, in view of the fact
that the land could be well used by
people employing dry farming meth
ods. Adresses were delivered at today's ses
sions by Thomas Cooper, assistant to the
president of the Great Northern Railroad:
Professor W. M. Jardlne. assistant cereal
ist in charge of dry land grains of the
United States Department of Agriculture;
Professor J. C. Fitterer. of the Univer
sity of Wyoming: Professor Walter H.

Campbell, of Lincoln. Neb.: E. R. Par
sons, Parker. Colo.: C. R. Worral. Glovls.
N. M.: Professor W. H. Fairfield, super
intendent of the experimental farm, Leth
bridge. Canada.
The adoption of the report of the execu
tive committee, which embraced the new
constitution of the Congress and the elec
tion of officers, occupied most of the
morning session.
Officers Named for Year.

ing year were elected as follows:

Campbell, known as the "father of dry
farming." whose experiment farm oper
ations extend over 26 years, delivered an
address, in which he attacked Secretary
Wilson. oT the Department of Agriculture,
who was quoted recently as saying that
"the Campbell system of dry land farm
ing is wrong and harmful." and that the
methods used by the dry farmers will
destroy the fertility of the soil.
"I regard it as exceedingly unfortu
nate." said. Mr. Campbell, "that encour
agement from official sources should be
given those who afe crying down and
belittling the work you and I and all of
us have beert doing in recent years in
relation to dry' land tillage. .
"I do insist," added Mr. Campbell,
"that it is wrong and hurtful and wholly
Inexcusable for authority to be given at

the work that we of the West are doing.
Better that aid and encouragement be
