6lUcH HoNORED BY JAPAN
Wounded Official Stood High in
Diplomatic Circles

Durham White Stevens was born in
Washington. February /. 1852 He was
just 2I years of age when he received
the appointment Of secretary OF the
United States legation at Tokyo, and
left the Columbian law school at the
national capital TO assume his post. His
work as an American displomat at
tracted the attention Of the Japanese
government. and in 1883 he was invited
70 become member OF the bureau du
protocol. which had charge of the nego-
tiation OF all foreign treaties. Success
again attended Stevens. and in 1887 he
was transferred TO the japanese lega-
tion at Washington to act as adviser.
Before that he successfully adjusted
the differences between Japan and
China, which had threatened war in
1854.
In 1900 Stevens represented Japan in
the negotiations of treaties between
that country and the United States and
Mexico. From that time until the con-
clusion of the Russian war he was at
tached to the japanese embassy at
Washington. Then ne was transferred
TO Seoul 10 act as adviser to the Korean
government under the protocol which
gave the Japanese government control
OF the smaller country.
Stevens power practically was su-
preme throughout the period which
transformed Korea from a semi-inde-
pendent state into an absolute depend
ency Of Japan.
Throughout this transaction and dur
ing the grave crisis when Japanese
troops put down the rebellious Koreans.
Stevens took a leading part in direct
Ing the course OF Japanese procedure.
His wide experience and his tactful
method did much to bring calm to the
disordered region.
The Koreans were naturally resenfful
nt the official part Stevens had taken
during this crisis The Japanese gov
eminent showed its appreciation of his
services by bestowing upon him a life
pension, which supplements several
decorations with which the Japanese
emperor had invested him.
Now, with the Korean crisis over.
Stevens was taken back to his old posi-
tion in Washington, where he was
about to resume his duties as counsel
and adviser to the Japanese embassy.
Stevens had expected to reach the
capital Friday morning and a Telegram,

they would impart to us their newly

TOKYO, March 24.-If the attempt to

Francisco by young Koreans Is success
ful Stevens will die martyr 10 the
cause of Korea, in which he was deeply
Interested. 1t Is believed here that the
attempted assassination was a blow
aimed Indirectly at Marquis Ito by the
dissruntled element who prevented the
continuance of the former regime
which Ito continually denounced as a
corrupt ring. Stevens was Ito's chief
adviser and close friend. He did as
siduous work in Korea until recalled

he was given an enthusiastic farewell
at the station by nearly 200 officials of
the embassies. including American Min
lister O'Brien and staff.
Stevens was bitterly opposed to GER
tain elements in Seoul, and it Is inti-
mated here among his friends, who
were informed of the tragedy by the
representative of the Associated Press,
that the fnstigation of the crime may
be sought for, not among the so called
revolutionaries In Korea, but among
those whose private interests were in

Baron Ishii said to the Associated
Press: Mr.. Stevens was the last man
of whom 1 would expect assassination

The fact that Stevens life was safe in
Korea and Japan and that his assas-

brought out universal comment that
the deed was the result of the anti

Japan. being such close neighbors,

when we send them wine and fruit they

neighbor has only invaded us in return.
History tells us that few OF our dy-

succeeded in repelling them. Even at
the beginning of the present dynasty
they troubled us on several occasions,

Novel Uses OF lee.

A Government expert has devised
a novel method of keeping a car or
compartment comparatively warm
in zero weather; not bv fire, but by
the utilization Of ice. A well insula-
ted car is fitted at each end with
four galvanized iron cylinders reach
ing from the floor TO the top OF the
car. In summer these cylinders
are filed with ice and salt TO keen
the car cool. In winter they are
filled with ice to keep the contents
of the car from freezing.
Ice is nominally at temperature
OF 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and is a
substance that changes temperature
reluctantly, being poor conductor
of heat or cold. Consequently when
zero weather prevails outside the
cylinders of relatively warm ice
prevent. the escape of heat; in other
words. they maintain the tempera-
ture within the car.
Another method whereby ice In
employed for protection against cold
consises in throwing a plentiful
stream Of water oE the car when the
temperature is near ths zero point.
The water freezes at once and forms
q complete coat over the car. The
action OF .his ice is the same as In
the case Of the cylinders filed with
ice. A similar plan 10 frequently
adopted in the transportation OF
bananas, fruit particularly sus-
ceptible TO cold. National Provi-
