London, March 10. England has
stepped into the breach to save
China-humiliation at the hands of
the Japanese.
Through diplomatic channels the
foreign office has conveyed to -the
mikado the word that a war or even
armed demonstration at this time
woijld be exceedingly unpleasant and
displeasing to Great Britain. " v
t ThougV the note is carefully
penned, so aa not to give the slight
est offense to Japan, Great Britain's
ally, It 1b believed here that it will
have the desired effect, and that
Japan will now be more lenient in
her demands.
Pekin, March 10. A supplemen
tary ultimatum was today served on
the Chinese councillor. Yuan Shi

Christianla, Norway, March 10. In a
daring attept to assassinate' King
Haakon today. 10 rifle shots were fired
through a window of the royal palace
into a room which was supposed to be
occupied by his majenty. The king and
entire royal family escaped by a nar
row margin. The conspirators were
disguised as laborers. They gained ad
mission to a garden surrounding the
palace, from which position they boldly
oDened fire with sawed-off carbines on
what they thought was the royal chamber.
Guards heard the shooting ana rushed
up in time to capture three of the
men. on which they found 50 additional
cartridges.
Investigation by the police revealed
that two of the three men arrested for
attempting to kill King Haakon were
laborers wtio naa notmng to do with
the outrage. The third, the man who
fired the shots, Is a Swede, who refuses
to disclose his name. The police are
uncertain wnetner ne is a Terrorist or
lunatic, but are inclined to believe
his mind has become ' unbalanced by
brooding over the separation of Norway

San Francisco, March 10, The
most startling affidavit ever filed in
the fight being, waged to send Abra
ham Ruef and Eugene Scbmits to
prlBon has been prepared by Prose
cutor Heney and becomes a part of
the mass of court records today. The
document reviews the methods of
the defense and points to Ruef as a
monumental liar, besides exposing
the alleged duplicity of the defend
ants' attorneys.
Heney, who has spent many days
In preparing the affidavit, files It as
an answer to the many accusations
alleged to have been made against
the prosecution by Ruef and his
counsel and as a response to attacks
that have been made, Heney says, to
win public sentiment from the side
of the state
Some of the most important points
raised in the affidavit follow:
That Ruef had never been promised
complete Immunity from punishment,
but was given to understand that he
must accept sentence for extortion.
That Supervisors Wilson and Gal
lagher approached Ruef at the little St
Francis and discussed Immunity with
him without the knowledge or authori
sation of Langdon or Heney.
That Rabbi Nieto himself declared that
he believed Ruef should receive some
punishment for his erimes, and that 'he
agreed with Heney that the district
attorney should retain the power to
sentence Ruef at any time If Ruef failed
to keep his agreement.
That Ruef himself prepared a draft
of a proposed Immunity contract, which
rteney aDsoiuteiy reruseo to consider.
That Henry Ach and Rabbis Nieto and
Kaplan held several secret conferences
with members of tha nrosemiHnn In
Heney s office, gaining entrance by a
back door.

conspiracy to murder.
Hired gunmen and the professional
killers of the Bow On tong and high

the district and no man who wears a
yellow skin counts his life safe from,

Th killing of Lea Tal Hoy Saturday
night was th outward and visible evi
dence of a blood feud that was declared
several weeks ago and by which four
men, all prominent members of th Chi-' ,
nese colony, were marked down tor
slaughter. These men, against whom
the sentence of death was passed, are
Lee Tal Hoy, Chen Hung. La Ming and
Chung Poo. - t.
Four or more hired, saaasslns war
sent her frorri -San Francisco to assist
local gunmen In carrying out the death,
sentence. It was decreed that Chen
Hung should be th first to be killed
and for more than a. week th hired
killers shadowed their Intended victim
in an effort to catch him off his ruard .
and thus give them an opportunity ta
earn the t00 blood money offered tor,
his life.
But Hung had been warned In ad

arrival in Portland, and only ventured!

peoted to arrive here some tlm today.1
The trains arriving from th south last
nigut and this morning were met on -the
east side by police detectives and
searched for the expected arrivals.
The men were not found, but orders
have been given to search all trains ar
riving from the south during th next
few days. It is believed that th San
Francisco Chinese will leave that train,
at some point outside of Portland and
attempt to make their way ' into - th
city by. little traveled routes. .
A sample of the warning message re-
celved from friends in San Francisco
by tho men under sentence of death is
