PRINCE VI, EXILED,
TELLS HOPES FOR
BENIGHTED KOREA
Tells Times What He Would Do If He
Mounted Throne From Which One
Life Divides Him.

Prince vi Eui-wha of Korea, who re-
Gently came TO this city and was taken
III with a severe attack of measles at
the legation here. is now completely re-
covered
The prince personally received a rep
resentatiye Of The Times and talked in
terestingly of conditions In his country
in the first interview which he. has given
to the press during the three years
that he has been in this country study
ing at American colleges. He has be-
come modernized during his residence
here. and has attained fairly good
command of the English language.
An Exile From Home.
Il must frankly admit he said. Il am
now practically an exile from my native
land You see there is a party in power
at the court whic. is hostile to me. l
never was a great favorite with the high
officials since I elected to leave the
palace nine years ago TO seek education
and adventure elsewhere.
Il went to Japan first. leaving Seoul
when I was sixteen years old. In Japan
I studied at a military school for six
years and then ! came to America.
MY father did not want me 10 leave
the court. but the life there was too
restricted for me. preferred greater
liberty and l was always fond of books
and learning For that reason I have
devoted myself closely to study while
in America
Treated as a Freak
1T was made very hard for me though
when ] first came here. You see they
must have regarded me as a sort OF
curiosity. When I went to school at
Delaware. Ohio. the town reporters there
used TO follow me about and worry me
until ] found 1t worse than the jail-lke
life at Seoul. They would print all
sorts OF things about me in the news
papers
They seemed especially to Ike TO get
me involved in love affairs. The col
lege at Delaware is-What you call it
co-educational place and there were
several pretty young ladies there whom
liked. ana who were very nice 10 ne.
Sometimes I would go to call on them
In the evenings. and drink tea with
them and II was very nice, indeed.
But those awful reporters. They
would be on the watch for me. When
/ came out they would lsk me all sorts
of questions. and very often had me en-
gagged TO be married to about q dozen
girls at a time
AT last one day they printed a story
about me figuring in burglar scrape.
That was at the hall where I boarded.
Somebody was out playing a prank and
had mistaken the room. I was not con-
cerned in II at all. but the newspapers
all had IT that way.
Has Found a Haven.
"That caused me 10 move away from
Delaware. About six months ago / went
TO Salem. Va. where I am taking a
course at the school there. studying the

, languages. particularly. 1t is very
quiet place. and nobody bothers me at
all. which is very nice.
''Of Korea, / can only say that most
likely this war viii change her whole
future history. l do not even know
that she Will be an empire hereafter
Personally. I side with Japan in the
conflict. / think most of the Koreans
are decidedly sympathetic in that di-
rection. Thus. of course. we hope for
Japanese victory. In that event,
perhaps. Korea. viii be allowed to re-
main an empire, as before.
MY father. the Emperor, has been
greatly maligned in all sorts of sensa-
tional stories. 1t is not true that he
married an American adventures Nor
is IL true he is weak. as represented
He is fifty-twe years of age. and rules
with an impartial hand.
MY father writes to me regularly. 1
have a stepmother. but she does not
send me any messages. My brother, the
crown prince, is thirty-one years of
age. but he is very weak physically.
and. perhaps. If the government goes
into his hands he may not have
strength to use his power over the
ministers
Prlnce " Not Wanted.
They would rather have him on the
throne than me. That's the reason why
they have never encouraged me to
come back. For myself, 1 can state TO
you In all seriousness that the abject
monarchy which is practiced in my
country Is most disagreeable.
If by any possibility l should ever
ascend 10 the throne / would start a
thoroughly new regime. There would
be more Western civilization introduced
into Korea We should have reforms in
every department of the government
The spread of education would 5e the
great principle upon which the govern
ment would concentrate its energies.
Korea needs an intellectual awakening
II admire very much the japanese
form OF government believe ii Is
the system which would WORK with sue
cess in Korea. The more I study the
more there is TO learn, find. and per-
haps some day shall make It my mis-
sion to go back to Korea as the mis-
sionary of education IL not to be the
ruler of the palace at Seoul"

Of succession to the throne. the only
other member OF the Emperors family
being a half brother. who is not eligible.
The prince has not made any plans as
to his return home. After recovering
completely from his illness here he VIII
return to Salem TO resume his studies
there.
In appearance he is short and slight,
with q bright, intelligent face. Hereto
fore his visits to Washington have been
made the occasion OF greatest secrecy
on the part of the legation officials who
knew the princes dread OF reporters
and. therefore. tried to cloak his move
ments In mystery.

dent Friday, Well Known Here.

Ole j. Olson, whose sudden death. as
the result OF an accident on the Iowa

and before he entered the Central's EN-
ploy worked in the glucose factory.
Foreman Gus Johnson of the Iowa Gem

interested in his advancement, and a
member of both the Masonic fraternity
and Odd Fellows lodge
Mr.. Olson's death occurred while he
was engaged in putting in a coupler
on freight car. Conductor jackson,

was backing in his train on the repair
track, unknown to Olson. The train
struck the cars where Olson was at
work, and he was caught between the
bumpers and his life literally crushed
out. One arm was cut off and the I'M
fortunate man lived a half hour after
the accident.
Fred Olson, brother of the deceas-
ed, who lives on the Olson homestead
near Story City, was In the city Friday
evening, on his way to Grinnel to get
the body, which was taken to Story
City today for interment. Mr.. OIson's
father died only about a month ago.

the place of Mr.. Olson temporarily, or
until some else can be secured.
