RIGHTEOUS ARMY
Attempt to Assassinate Stevens
Was a Conspiracy.
EXTERMINATE ALL JAPANESE
Manifesto Reached America on the
Shio Stevens Came byThe Proc
lamation is Signed by General E.
Yie Yin Long of Korean Army.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 24.
The Call says today:
The attempt to assassinate Durham
W. Stevens, the political advisor of
the 'Korean council of state, it is now
said was the result of a carefully
hatched conspiracy, inspired imme
diately by a manifesto of the Korean
Righteous Army" calling upon all
loyal Koreans to consecrate them
selves to a holy war and exterminate
aQ Japanese.
' Thi manifesto reached here on the
ship which brought Stevens. The
proclamation is signed by General E.
Yie Ying Lung, general of the Ko
rean Righteous Army, and is in part
as follows:
"To all Koreans in all parts of the
world:
"Loyalty to his nation and fealty
to his parents is the primal law of
man's nature. The right to live and
the right to die for duty is also the
rule of nature.
"But alas! Grievous times have
come upon Korea, our compatriots.
We who have been educated by our
500-year-old dynasty and raised op by
our 4000-year-old ancestry, have
come under the domination of the
barbarous savage islanders the Jap
anese. They have swooped upon our
country and are indulging their bar
harous appetites with a cruel heart
It is so much we could say it with
our tongues nor could we write it
with our pens.
"The Japanese have abdicated our
emperor, destroyed our villages, kill
ed our brethren, robbed our land,
seized our benefits and are the enemy
not only of Korea, but of all the
world for they have violated the
peace of humanity.
"Compatriots, we must unite and
consecrate ourselves to our land and
restore our indepndence. We are sure
our God will help us. We must all
do our best to kill all Japanese, their
spies, allies, and barbarous soldiers.
"The Japanese may compare the
rising of our righteous army to the
attempt of an insect to move a big
tree, but right is on our side and we ;
are confident that in the end we shall
be victorious, opposing their treach
ery with the justice of our cause. We
will sacrifice our,Tliesr.to their guns
and swords and as the front men fall,
the men behind them will take their
places. Defeated .today we will again
attack on the morrow, until our vow
tp exterminate the Japanese or die
bas been accomplished.
"E. YIE YIN YUNG,
General Korean Righteous Army.
"(Date (4240 atfer Tan Koen.)"
I. W. Paik, national president of
the Korean Reform League in com'
mending the action of the conspira
tors is quoted as follows:
"Stevens met the fate that comes
to all betrayers," he said. "He came
into Korea from America which we
have always regarded as our best
friend among the nations. He be
trayed us. He told us that the nation
we most hate must be accepted as
our master, and he told us that the
two Koreans most despised in their
land were the only ones to lead us as
we should go. But we are not fools
nor dogs to submit"
"Who are the two Koreans most
hated in their own land?" Paik was
asked.
"Yeon Wan Wong, the prime min
ister, who also is a Japanese spy, and
Song Pung Chun, the minister of
agriculture," he replied.
"And they will be laid low, too," he
added.
There are said to be 700 Koreans
in the two revolutionary leagues here
and these are working with a mil
lion more who have fled into Siberia
and Russia to rouse the courage of
their countrymen to the point of
turning upon Japan and driving her
out of their land, which the patriots
here say is being robbed and pillaged
by the brown conquerors.

SUPPRESSING A PUBLICATION
CLERGY TO INVESTIGATE.
Conditions in Chinatown to be Inves
tigated by 200 Clergymen.
NEW YORK, Mar. 24.-Conditions
in Chinatown are to be investigated
by 200 clergymen who have accepted
the invitation of the Rev. Fung Y.
Mow, pastor of the Baptist Morning
Star Mission.
Addressing the weekly meeting of
Baptist ministers yesterday the mis
sionary said many of his flock were
married to high caste Chinese most of
whom because of unpleasant environ
ments and the evil characters to be
found in Chinatown were afraid to
go upon the streets or to be seen in
public.
To remedy this condition he wants
to build a family club house costing
$100,000 in Mott Street with a roof
garden and especially designed as a
breathing place for the Christian
Chinese women and children. The
men will have parts of the building
for recreation, athletices and a lib
rary. Wealthy Chinese merchants
have promised to contribute to such
a plan.
ANARCHISTS PLANS.
CHICAGO, Mar. 24 A despatch
to the Inter Ocean from St Louis
says:
Miss Edith Adams, an alleged
lieutenant- to Emma Goldman, de
clared last night that the anarchists
had determined to post spies in the
homes of leading people of St. Louis,
New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Cin
cinnati and other places.
This will be done for the purpose
of obtaining, under the guise of ser
vants, information that will lead to
the exposure of social scandals and
business matters in cases where aid
is refused to the anarchists' demands
for social reform.
The plan is said to have already
been put in operation.

'La Questiono Sociale" Recently
Published an Appeal of Infiamma
tory Character Which in the Action
Taken President Roosevelt's Letter
PATERSON, N. J Mar. 24.-Tres
ident Roosevelt states in answer to
an appeal from Mayor McBride to
exclude "La Questione Sociale" from
the mails for the purpose of suppres
sing the publication that besides di
recting that the newspaper be denied
the use of the mails he has requested
the department of justice to make
every effort to prosecute criminally
those responsible for the publication.
A copy of the president's letter to the
department of justice was enclosed
by Secretary Loeb as the reply to the
appeal of Mayor McBride who made
public the president's letter last night.
"La Questiono Sociale" recently
published an appeal of inflammatory
character which resulted in the action
taken. President Roosevelt's letter
to the Department of justice sent to
the mayor is as follows:
"To the Department: By my di
rection the postmaster general is to
exclude the "La Questiono Social" of
Paterson, N. J. from the mails and it
will not be admitted to the mails un
less by order of the court or unless
you advise me further that it must
be admitted. Please see if it is not
possible to prosecute criminally unilef
the section of the law that is avail
able the men that are interested in the
sending out of this anarchistic and
murderous publication. They are, of
course, the enemies of mankind and
every effort should be strained to
hold them accountable for an offense
far more infamous than that of our
ordinary murder.
"This matter has been brought to
my attention by the Mayor of the
city of Paterson I wish every effort
made to get at the criminals under
the federal law. It may be found
impossible to do this. I shall also,
through the secretary of state call the
attention of the governor of New
Jersey to the circumstances so he may
proceed under the state law, his at
tention being further drawn to the
fact that the newspaper is circulated
in other states. After you have con
cluded your investigation I wish a
report from you to. serve as a basis
for recommendations by me for ac
tion by congress.
"Under section 3893 of the revised
statutes lewd, obscene and lasciv
ious books and letters, publications
for indecent and immoral uses or of
an indecent and immoral nature and
post cards upon which indecent and
sourrilous epithets are written or
printed are all excluded from the
mail and provision is made for fine
and imprisonment for those guilty.
"The newspaper article in question
advocates murder by dynamite. It
specifically advocates the murder of
enlisted men of the U. S. army and
the officers of the police force and the
burning of the houses of private citi
zens. The preaching of murder and
arson is certainly as immoral as the
circulation of obscene and lascivious
literature and if the practice is not
already forbidden by the law it
should be forbidden.
"The immigration law now prohi
bits the entry into the U. S. of any
person who entertains or advocates
the views expressed1 in the newspaper
article. It is, of course, inexcusiblc
to permit those already here to pre
mulgate such views. Those who
write, publish and circulate those ar
ticles stand on the level with those
who use the mails for distributing
poisons for the murder and convic
tions have been obtained when the
mails have thus been used for the dis
tribution of poisons. No law should
require the postmaster general to be
come an accessory to murder by cir
culating literature of this kind.
(Signed) "Theodore Roosevelt."
Postoffice inspectors have already
commenced an investigation of the
newspapers.

ELK'S MINSTRELS.
As was predicted, the forthcoming
Elks' show is creating a great deal of
enthusiasm among the boys mid the
people of Astoria generally. Rehear
sals are revealing an amount of good
talent which is surprising to the di
rectors. The chorus will be the dis
tinguishing feature and will be found
to be the equal of any heard here
with the professional companies. A
great many novel effect will be in
troduced and the entire production
will be entirely devoid of anything
makeshift in character; which will
class it at once, with the best. The
curtain will go up promptly at 8:30
o'clock and the show is two hours
and fifteen minutes long without an
idle minute in it. The management
request that the audience be on time
as the opening is a pretty feature
which should not be missed. All the
participants are working hard on
their several parts and some great in
dividual hits will be made.

ten expressly for this occasion by
L. E. Selig, entitled
- XIX"! I lis
I a. (a
I I I-.
The song, whose titles is given
above, will be one of the catchiest
and most whistli-ablc uumhers of the
show and Mr. Bergman, the artist
who sings it, is investing it with an
amount of pathos quite incalculable.
He will be one of the "big noises" of
the production and his appearance
will be worth the price of admission
alone. Copies of this great song will
be sold by Mr. Bergman on the night
of the show to any one desiring same,
between the first and second acts
The price is $10.00 per copy and only
a limited number have been published.
Get in early and secure a song.
