LOTS ARE SEIZED
"IS
Possession Taken . Yester
day by Custodian, Heirs
Live in Berlin
A seizure of property in Salem
by the alien property custodian
was filed for record yesterday in
the county recorder's office. The
pfbperty .was two lots in Prickey's
railroad addition to Salem, at Ne
braska avenue and Fourteenth
street.
' The lots were inherited with
some property in Stayton by heirs
of a German by the name of Luet
tich, who died about 10 years ago.
Part of the property had been
sold by the heirs before the be
ginning of the war. But that
which remained at Stayton was
seized by the alien custodian sev
eral years ago, but no action taken
regarding the two lots in Salem.
' It is probable that with the
seizure, the property will be sold
and funds turned Into the alien
property custodian.
The heirs all live in Berlin and
their names are as follows: An-
guste Dorothee Antonie Luettich,
Emil Thler, Katharina Tbier,
Clara Thier-Eckelberg, Paul Eck
elberg, Albert August Herman
Leuttich, Elsbeth Luettich and
Antonie Elfriede Gertrude Leut
tich. t Official seizure of the two lots
was made by taking physical pos
session in the name ot the govern
ment by posting a notice of the
fact on a conspicuous place on the
lot.
AT LEAST
,On a very conservative estimate
it is figured that auto tourists
who stopped over at the Salem
automobile park spent mpre than
$250,000 in Salem from the day
of the opening of the park, April
,10, until it was closed Thursday.
- This is basing expenditures for
food,, repairs and purchases of
various, kinds at only $3 a ''day
for each person while in the camp.
The Northwest Tourist association
estimates that a tourist spends an
Laverage of $6 a day, Including
money spent for gas, oil, food, re
pairs and other purchases. The
estimate of $250,000 is based on
Just half .the .amount the North
west Tourist association figures.
Cars Number
s During the, Beason .6320 cars
entered the auto camp. The
I average estimate is four to a car.
and. inis would bring tne num
ber of visitor.! to 25,280.
..But. these .25,280 remained on
an .average of four days in the
camp. Many stayed a greater
length or time, and. but few regis
tered just for one day. -
Taking the flgiirW of the asso
ciation on ' expenditures of tour
ists and the-length of stay at a
ram nine cround similar to the
one In Salem, it would figure

All day today, in all the cities

their fund to endow a four-bed
ward at the new Salem hospital.
The tags will be sold for 10
cents each; but this will not pre
clude any one from paying more,
in order to swell the fund for the
most worthy cause and in fact a
number of the workers themselves
and their friends have already
taken tags and paid a good deal
higher prices.
- It is expected that the sum re
quired to guarantee free beds for
ex-service men will be $8000 to
$10,000 and It is a big undertak

news had caused a feeling of deep

F.mpcror Incurably 111
The death of Premier Hara,
who had attained a dominating
political influence in the'Japaneae
empire and who was expected per
sonally to shape from Tokio the
Japanese policy at the forthcom
ing conferences, is a very serious
loss to Japan at a time when that
country is passing through a per
iOd of intense transition. Emper
ot Yoshihlto is incurably ill, men
tally and physically, and is no
longer able to carry on his duties.
: It is understood that plans have
been under consideration to es
tablish a regency under the crown
prince, Hlrohlto, who recently re
turned from a tour ot, Europe.
Mr. Hara and Viscount Maklno,
the household minister, have been
trylne to solve the problem of
modernizing the Japanese -court
and seeking to bring it nearer to
the . people of Japan, - who are
c'amoring for a development of
their country along the lines .Ot
democracy. New social Ideas,
even bolshevistic, have been com
inr in. influencingthe thought of
the ' people,' 9 5 per vcent' of whom
are able to read and .write, -
-I'plitlcal Strength Immense . . i
Mr; Hara rrequgntly reterrea
in public adaresses to the dangers
of a too rapid absorption of wes
tern social Ideas into Japanese
life, believing that his country
could not quickly digest success
fully western concepts of society.
Gradually, his Influence grew un
til the Japanese began to look up
on him as a popular leader at a
rather critical moment of their
history. It was a common saying
at Tokio that Hara alone was run
ning Japan and that It wa3 his de
cisions alone that always obtain
ed. He succeeded In Inducing
General Tanaka, until recently
minister ot war, to bring about a
more straightforward cooperation
between the military elements and
the civic branches of the govern
ment. . '
It was Hara who framed the
policy of accommodation and con
ciliation which the Japanese plen
ipotentiaries announced as con
ference policy when they entered
this country.
Official Dinners Suspended a
Important public personages in
Japan are never announced as
dead, although actually so. until
the emperor has been notified or
the demise, and it is possible that
this ancient Japanese custom may
account for the fact that the
Japanese embassy tonight was still
without official announcement of
the assassination of the premier.
It was, however, decided in view
ot an prriclal message received
by the state department announc
ing the death to cancel the of
ficial reception which the delega
tion had arranged for tomorrow
evening. All Japanese official
dinners also have been suspended.
Sennosuke Yakota, chief of the
legislative bureau of the Japanese
cabinet and a personal representa
tive of Prevnier Hara at the con
ference, decided to return to Ja
pan immediately.
Delegation Threatened;
Before the Japanese delegation
left Japan, threatening letters
were received by its members, in
cluding Prince Tokugawa. to
whom were forwarded fngsestlve
and minister drawings of the as
sassination of . Minister. Mori. In
1883 and the! recent murder of
Yasuda. a millionaire banker.
The receipt of threatening let
