4 MARTYR TO KOREA.

TOkio, March 23-If the attempt to assassinate Durham W. Stevens of San
 Francisco, by the young Koreans should be successful, Stevens will die d martyr to the cause of Korea, in which he is deeply interested. It is believed here that the attempted assassination was d blow aimed indirectly at Marquis Ito by the disgruntidd element who prevented the continuance of the for mer regime. which Ito continually de- nounced as a corrupt ring. Stevens is Ito's chief advisor and close friend Stevens is extremely popular among Japanese. Koreans and foreigners. and when leaving here on March 3, he was given an enthusiastic farewell by nearly 200 officials of the embassies, including American Minister O'Brien and staff. Stevens was bitterly opposed by certain elements in Seoul. The instigation of the crime may be sought for, not among the so-cailed rcvolutionaries of Korea, but among those whose private interests were injured by Stevens op- position.

The promuIgation of the decision was i'm mediately followed by the commence ment of an action by Young. in Ram sey county state district court. in which the court was asked to direct the issuance of a writ of mandamus commanding the Northern Pacific Go. to comply with the rate law. The state court immediately issued the writ in compliance with Young's pe- tition. The proceeding precipitated a sharp conflict between the federal and state courts.
 Young was summoned before the former. to give an account of his de- fiance of the courts injunction and. nation he was subjected to a fine of $100 for contempt of court. At the same time he was ordered to dismiss the case in the state court. Refusing either to pay the fine or dismiss the case. Young immediately brought the case to the supreme court of the Unit ed States on a petition for writ of habeas corpus. He based the petition upon the grounds that the federal cir cult court was without Jurisdiction in the original proceeding because there was no diverse citizenship.

Washington, March 23.-In refusing to grant Attorney General Young, of Minnesota writ of habeas corpus releasing him from the penalty inn posed b. the United States district court so- the district of Minnesota on the charge of contempt of court in in stituting proceedings in the state court for the enforcement of the rail- road rate law after the federal court prohibited such ? course. and in af- firming the decision of Judge Prit- chard, of the federal circuit court for the western district of North Carolina discharging from Imprisonment Jas.

 In both cases the right of the states to fix rates for railroad transporta- tion were the issues. Both involved conflicts between the federal and the state courts. The decision in each case is opposed both to the states and their courts The opinion of the court in both cases was announced by Justice Peckham. and with the eX- ceptiOn of Justice Harlan. all the Oth- CT members stood behind him in the announcement of the finding. Justice Harlan read a dissenting opinion in the case. in which he took the view that the suit was practically a proceeding against the state, and therefore per missible under the eleventh amend ment to the Constitution. The two cases are so similar that both were practically decided in one opinion. The announcement was made in the Minnesota case.
 The proceeding in Young's case grew out of an effort by the Minneso- ia federation on May 31st last to re- strain Young. and other state officials. from executing or attempting to ex- ecute the state rate law. Certain stockholders of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company filed a suit at the time. asking for an injunction to pro- hibit the state officials from carrying the law into effect. on the ground that the rate was fixed so low as to make

THE RECORD
 QUESTIONED A Scene In the House of
 Representatives
MT. SulZer of New York Indulges In Fighting Talk.

Washington, March 23.-A scene somewhat out of the ordinary was enacted in the house today because of a charge made by MT. Mann of Illi- nois that Mir. Sulzer of New York had put in the Congressional Record what purported to be speech delivered by him last Saturday. but which Mann charged was not the one delivered.
 It all had to do with Sulzer's claim that he and not Mann was the author of the legislation which brought the department of commerce and labor into being. A resolution offered by Mir. Mann to eXpunge the printed speech from the record was adopted by a strict party vote. but not until after the house had been treated to bitter denunciation of Mann by SulZer and several lively tilts between the latter and the speaker.
 SulZer characterized Mann as 'pettifogging lawyer, mean and con temptible" for which he was called to order by the speaker with the admoni- ton that such language could not be used toward a member. Twice after wards in seeking to justify his claim of authorship he was interrupted by the speaker with a similar warning.
 Anticipating that his speech would be ruled out, with d view of getting if back into the record, MT Sulzer resort ed to a piece of strategy. trying to have the speech read and later en- deavoring to read it hirNSelf, but the speaker insisted that he could only ad- address himself to the resolution to ex- punge
 Smarting under this action of the re- publicans. Sulzer for the first time posed as an obstructionist. He ob- jected all unanimous consent proposi- ton and halted the proceedings of the house for a considerable time by point of no quorum. After passing a number of measures relating to the District of Columbia the house ad- journed out of respect tO the memory of the late Senator William James Bryan os Florida.

pocket what, to several witnesses ap- peared to be merely a handkerchief, but who were quickly undeceived as three shots in rapid succession came from it, directed at Stevens The Would-be assassin in the excitement of the moment apparently forgot that one Of his companions was in line with the aim he was taking The first shot missed the diplomat and brought Chun down with a bullet through the right lung. The other two, better di- rected, struck Stevens.

The diplomat and the wounded Korean upon whom a loaded revolver was found were then laid side b:' side !n the same ambu- lance ard hurried to the Central emergency hospital. After an exam ination, the surgeon stated that there were no indications that Stevens lung had been penetrated or that the low CT bullet had entered his abdomen. He declared that the chances for his re- covery were good.
 In tie afternoon Stevens was re- moved to St. Francis hospital. Chun k at the Central emergency hospital and his recovery is not expected. He denied that he knew Chan. and de- clared that Stevens had fired the shot which wounded him.

San Francisco. March 23.-With d concealed in a handkerchief D. W stevens, formerly counsellor for the Japanese embassy at Washington. but for several years diplomatic advisor 10 the Korean government at Seoul, Was shot and seriously wounded this morning as he was about to leave for Washington. Three shots were fired at Stevens from a 32 calibre revolver by l. W. Chan, d diminutiVe Korean. The first bullet missed the diplomat and accidentally struck and perhaps fatally wounded NJ. w. Chun. one of three or four Koreans lying in wait for Stevens with the intention of kill ing him. and who the moment before had struck him vicious blow in the face. The other two shots took effect in Stevens back, one bullet striking him under the right shoulder blade near the spinal column. the second, a few inches lower. While the wounds are serious. it was stated that the chances for his recovery are good.
 The attempted assassination which evidently had been well planned took place at the Ferry Station at 9:30 o'clock this morning. just as Stevens, accompanied by Chose Koike the Jap anese coGsul general, was about to take the ferry boat connecting with the overland train for the east. where he expected to spend an extended va cation with his sisters at Washington and Atlantic City.
 The motive for the attack apparent ly arises out of the resentment of d small group of local Koreans to the Japanese protectorate over Korea. and who sought 10 avenge their country for the important part played in the reorganization of the government Nby Stevens. Stevens arrived from the Orient on Friday Last night he was attacked at the Fairmont hotel by d delegation of four or five Koreans who called to sec him with reference to an interview in which he praised the work os the Japanese in Korea. This morning as he and Koike stepped from an automobile bus at the Ferry Station. three or four Koreans were waiting for him. As the consul gen. eral stepped in front of the bus to look after some baggage one of the Koreans later identified as Chun. uo and struck Stevens vic ious blow in the face. The diplomat started in pursuit of his assailant when Chan drew from his
