SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-l
Three shots that will be heard
around the world rang out yester-
day morning from the crowded pave
ment in front of the arcade of the
Ferry building.
Fired from the revolver of In
Whan Chang, confessed assassin AMI
ayowed patriot of Corea, two OF them
pierced the body of Durham White
Stevens. an American and adviser
of the Corean Council of State since
the Japanese occupation of Corea in
1904, as he was alighting from an
automobile in company with the
Japanese consul, Chozo Koike, in
tending to take the morning train for
Washington; the third felled the
friend and accomplice of the slayer,
M. w. Chun.
In Corea the story of the shooting
will be heard by captive people
with fanatic praise for Chang and
Chun, who will be pictured as rid
ing to the heavens on the backs of
winged dragons.
In Japan the report of the three
shots will be regarded with con-
trary emotions, but local Coreans
hardly expect that it will call halt
in the policy which, they would have
it understood, has added the name OF
.Corea to that of Poland, Armenia
and the Congo Free State.
All the diplomatic world will be
stirred by the assassination OF
the American woh had served

narrow escape from harm of the Jap
