San, Francisco, Mar. 23.-Follow-
ing an attack made by four Koreans
at the Fairmount hotel last night in
which he was severely beaten with
hotel chairs, D. w. Stevens, mem
ber of the Japanese council at Seoul
Korea, was shot and perhaps fatally
wounded this morning at the ferry
depot as he was about to leave for
Washington.
The shooting was done by n. w.
Chun, Korean, one of whose bull
Lett struck companion, /. w.
Chong. A mob of 500 men pursued
the shooter and captured him.
Mr.. Stevens and the wounded Ko-
rean were taken to the central emer-
gency hospital.
Mr.. Stevens, accompanied by the
Japanese consul, had just stepped
out of hotel omnibus when sew
eral Koreans approached him, one
of whom said few words, then
struck Stevens in the face. The Ko-
rean then drew revolver covered
with a handkerchief and began to
shoot.
The attack on Stevens was the re-
suit of interviews published after his
arrival in which he stated that ia
pan was doing for Korea what the
United States is doing for the Phil
ippines, and in general taking the
ground decidedly in favor of the Jap
anese occupation of Korea.
A mass meeting of Koreans was
held yesterday and committee was
appointed to Interview Stevens. The
attack followed this interview.
The spokesman of the party of Ko-
reans who attacked Stevens last
night said after the assault It Ste
vens was in the pay of the Japan
ese government and had deliberately
misrepresented the conditions in Ko-
rea. I'VE are sorry to have had to
let him off SO easy" he said: "but
what could we do with all the peo-
pie in the hotel holding us back"
He also said that Korean paper
had charged that Stevens came to
this country as spy for the Japan
ese army.
The physicians at the hospital ex-
press the opinion that Stevens stands
a good chance for recovery il no
untoward complications result.

swept two blocks, destroyed nine
business houses and for the time
threatened the entire town of Hugo.
All that saved the entire village
was the tireless work of the citizens,
coupled with the fact that shortly
before midnight the wind which had
been blowing a gale veered and car
ried the flames back over the burned
area.
Another fact that made the fight

fact that there was a great scarcity

run between $4,000 and 5000.

TWO MEN BURIED

Ratcliff- Sanders Grocery Company's
Big Ware House at Tulsa Col
lapsed Tuesday.

Tulsa, Okla. Sept. 23,-The Ratcliff-
Sanders Wholesale Grocery company's
warehouse on Elein avenue, between the
Frisco tracks and First street, collapsed
yesterday and disarranged the stock stored
in the building in such a way that it will
take some time to get it Strengthened out
again. G, w. Martin and Ed. Stone, two
men working in the building, were caught
in the stock as it fell with the building
and were buried for few minutes. The
men we're at work stacking cases of
canned corn when the crash came. They
say it was altogether unexpected, and
that it came without warning.
The floor of the building gave way under
the weight of the large stock stored in the
building and fell into the basement. AS
it fell, the stock slid from the walls where
it was piled up and covered the men
entirely
Martin was hurt about the arms and
body. He was saved from being killed by
a big box Of feather busters which fell on
him and warded off the blows that would
have been received from heavy boxes Of
canned goods.
Stone was standing on a pile Of boxes
when the crash came and he was thrown
with the stock to the floor and was covered
up.
The posts holding the roof in place, and
fastened to the floor, pulled the roof in
with the floor and the whole building is
very mixed up place. Cases were broken
open and sacks were torn, and a great
deal of stock will be a waste. The dam
age is not known as yet.

to make public his.statement to Mr.. Hearst
SO long as Mr.. Bryan had taken hand in
the game, until he had received advice
from the democratic headquarters in
BChicago, He said last night that he prob
ably would give his statement to the
newspapers this evening.
"Hearst's answer to my proposal that
the truth of his charges against me be
determined by newspaper editors is
absurd" said Governor Haskell. IF am

wronged him he would bear his injury in
silence rather than add to Mr.. Bryans
troubles at this time.
