clety Business.

One of the most unique larks afforded
in the fashionable set lately was provided
a small party of guests Saturday evening
by Mr.. Harry ONeill. The invitation in
cluded the amateur night performance at
the Orpheum with an automobile ride and
supper following. The first hint of the un-
usual came upon the arrival of the party
at the theater, when, instead of being
seated out before the footlights, they were
ushered back behind the scenes and
mounting the ladders, found perches up IN
the flies above the stage, where the per-
formance was witnessed. Upon leav-
ing the theater, instead of auto
moboiles, as expected, the party was
conducted to two antiquated hacks, in
which they were ratified about the streets
for a time and finally set down before one
of the fashionable cafes.
But the host had no notion of providing
any such conventional finale ana his guests
were ushered past the inviting tables into
an unfinished addition crudely lighted and
still strewn with evidences of workmen.
Here the supper was served. The party
included Mr.. and Mrs w. o. Gilbert, Miss
Ella Mae Brown, Mr.. Stockton Heth and

TAKAHIRA HEARS NEWS
Makes Me Feel Sick" Says
Japanese Minister

TRENTON, N. J., March 23-Baron
Takahira upon his arrival in Trenton
was taken in an automobile to the Ho-
tel Windsor, where he was informed
by an Associated Press reporter of the
shooting in San Francisco today of D.
w. Stevens, the American adviser to the
Korean council of state.
The baron was greatly overcome by
the news and asked Congressman
Washington to see that he was not
disturbed except for the carrying out
of his engagement to speak at the
chamber of commerce dinner and to say
a few words at the state house.
This makes me feel sick he said.
Baron Takahira then telegraphed to
the Japanese embassy that he would
return to Washington tonight. He
planned to leave here at HOS p. m. and
asked the embassy to have carriage
meet him upon his arrival in Washing
ton tomorrow morning. Baron Taxa
hira, in speaking of Mr.. Stevens, said:
He was formerly with the Japanese
embassy as an American adviser and
was to have returned to US March 81.
l got a telegram from him only this
morning informing me when he would
reach Washington. If he was shot by
a Korean I cannot understand why. ex-
cept that some Korean in this country
must have misunderstoodv his relations
with the Korean government. He cer-
tainly did not have the enmity of the
Korean people in their own country.
He was a man of high character,
able. faithful and accomplished, and
was highly respected / hope that his
injuries are not serious and that his
recovery will be speedy"

FORD'S TRIAL SET
BEFORE CALHOUN'S
Prosecution Changes Program
Because Collusion With
Ruef Is Suspected

There is certainty in our mind that
collusion exists between Ruef and Pat
rick Calhoun, and we think it best to
proceed with the trial of TREY L. Ford
instead of that of Calhonn.' said AS
sistapt District Attorney Heney yester-
day afternoon in Judge Lawlor's court.
In the morning Assistant District At
torney O'Gara had advised the court
that 1t was the intention of the prose-
cution to bring Ford for third time to
trial Thursday. The case to be tried
was that involving the bribing of the
former supervisor. Daniel Coleman. In
the afternoon the Calhoun defense
fought hard to bring the head of the
corporation to trial in the place of the
general counsel. But the fight was
without avail. save in that the date of
the Ford trial was postponed from
Thursday to Monday next. The defense
promised to join the affidavit producers
in the meantime and present a mass of
motions to the court on the subject of
the delay in the street railway mag
mates trial
Ancient history in the form of court
records that went back as far as De-
cember of last year was invoked by the
defense's counsel. which yesterday com
prised A. A. Moore, Stanley Moore and
William F. Abbott.

shown in Judge Dunne's court in the
morning, when he moved that the Park
