 It was learned this afternoon that a small band Of Koreans has been on Stevens trail ever since he arrived Chan is m a cell in the city prison. No charge will be placed against him, pending the outcome of Stevens in- juries.
 When Stevens was taken from the operating table at the Central emer- Sency hospital he said he was too weak to talk to all the newspaper men, but he called for the Associated Press representative and asked that d trre account of his condition be sent out because of his sisters. one of whom he said was an invalid.
 Tt was the work of a small band of fanatical students" said Stevens weakly. They are ignorant of the good work done by the Japanese in Korea but they do know that the gov ernment has been reorganized. and they appear to have selected me as the victim of vengeance because Of my connection with the present govern ment in Korea"
 MT Ko,ke ssid ke- did not think to- days attempt upon Stevens life is any indication of serious plotting among the Koreans here against Jap anese officials because of the course adopted by Japan toward Korea. He expressed an opinion that it was the work of small band of irresponsible agitators whose hatred is centered on Stevens because of his connection with the Korean government.
 The ring leader of the Koreans. who went to the Fairmont hotel on Sunday night with the avowed purpose of as- saulting Stevens, has written a let(er to a loca! newspaper to say that the statement made by Stevens to the newspapers here are lies, and that these statements put wrong idea in the minds os the American people. which greatly angered the Koreans
 Chan, who shot Stevens. made a written statement tonight. A transla ton has been made. from which the ioiiOHA AhS tAltdINS dIt HIS day ! shot Stevens. ! shot him be- cause he was the main factor in the Japanese reign of bloodshed and op- pression- in Korea. and because he. as the head adviser of the regime, was responsible for the deaths of our fath- CTS. mothers and brothers in Korea. Stevens was the adviser of the Korean government. and was paid by the Ko- rean government, but was working for the interests of Japan against those of the nation who looked. to him as an American for justice and good rule He lied when he said the Korean peo- pre- were happy under Japanese rule.
 And so. sOr bis falsehoods I shot Stevens. If l killed him and die for it, it will be a warning to others who take his place to rule justly and deal with the people with care, kindness and humanity"

FOREsTERs WILL RESIST
Increased Rates-Lively Session Elk
pected at Meeting of Independ-
ent Order of Foresters.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Toronto, Ont, June 16.-The SUI
preme Court of the Independent Order
of Foresters, the most important fra
ternal and benevolent organization in
the Dominion, with membership of
nearly $500 in Canada and the Unit
ed States, convened in this city today
with the prospect of an exceedingly
lively session before it. The proposed
revision of the insurance rates is to
come up for consideration and action
and it is already evident that the pro-
posal will meet with vigorous opposi-
ton.
The proposal which is to be acted
upon is not merely to increase the as
sessments from now on, but is retro
active. If carried out, the old mem
bers who joined the order prior to
1899 will be required to pay the diff
ference between their present assess
ments and the assessment rates which
it is proposed to establish from the
date of their identification with the
organization, if they wish to keep up
their insurance.
This plan is put forward despite the
fact that on January 1 of this year
the treasurer's statement showed that
there was a. surplus of nearly twelve
million dollars.
The order, which is nearly thirty
years old, is essentially poor
mans" insurance company The
rates are low, and the officers have
always sought to impress upon the
public the advantages to the poor
man. Thousands of those who have
been paying assessments for from
ten to twenty-five years are too poor
to pay the back assessments with the
4 per cent interest which it is pro
posed to require, or, in fact, to pay
the increased assessments from now
ON. Moreover, many of them are too
old to ask for insurance in other com
panies. These members, through their
representatives at the present meet
ing, are preparing vigorous protest
to prevent, if possible, the adoption
of the new plan.
