Playing Each Other for Suckers

The city administrative force is di-
vided, w. T. Knapp on one side, and
Clerk Sumner and Chief Inscho on
the other. Mr.. Knapp alleges that
the fakir playing in one of the local
playhouses has not the ability to per-
form certain feats of the psychic or
der, while Mr.. Sumner and Mr.. In
scho have put up a certain wager that
the lady in this can do as she rep
resents. The feat on which the wager
is based is that Mr.. Knapp shall write
on slip of paper the name of some
person whose address is known to
him and it is up to the fakir to sup
ply the address. Mr.. Knapp con-
tends that she cannot do this, while
the others are equally certain that
she can. Each side is playing the
other for greenies and are planning
on what they will do when the wager
is collected.

testified that he left his wife three
days later.
"Why did you leave her?' asked the
Judge.
The plaintiff hesitatingly intimated
a statutory offense.
Il did not know her real character

Judge Grimshaw inquired into the
time of the marriage and the time
of the separation and then declared
himself
This is no clearing house fol

fact that the parties litigant were

THE GLADSTONE OF JAPAN AS
SASSINATED BY KOREAN WHO
FOLLOWED HIM TO HARBIN TO
Do THE DEED.

Harbin, Oct. 26.-Prince Hirobumi
Ito, the former resident general of
Korea and probably Japan's foremost
statesman, was assassinated here this
afternoon (Tuesday), by Korean
who followed him here for the ex-
press purpose of killing him. The
motive of the assassination was re-
venge.
The assassin has been arrested.
Almost On arrival here and just as
| Ito left the railroad car the attack
| was made The venerable statesman,
accompanied by the Russian minister
Of finance Kokovsoff was starting to
inspect the guard of honor when a
pistol shot was heard. Several more
shots were fired in quick succession,
the bullets striking the prince in the
back. Ito fell mOrtally wounded.
Three of the princes companions
were wounded, bullets striking the
japanese consul general, Hawaiian,
general manager in Tannaka of the
Southern Manchurian railroad and
| the princes private secretary. Ka-
wakan was badly but not fatally in
| jured.
| After his arrest the assassin sid:
Il came to Harbin for the sole pur-
pose of assassinating Prince Ito to
avenge my country" He also said he
had a personal grudge because of the
execution of several persons closely
connected with the assassin which
were ordered by Ito.
The assassination appears to be thu
outcome of an organized plot. Yes
terday three Koreans were arrests
at the station armed with revolver
The task of guarding the prince wa
rendered difficult by reason of the re-
quest of Consul Hawaiian that rail-
way officials permit all Japanese to
enter the station to greet the prince.
The police say it is impossible to dis
tinguish Koreans from Japanese.
Itos body has already been started
homeward. The casket, before being
placed on the train. was covered with
flowers sent by Kokovsoff and Rus
sian and japanese officials. The Rus
sian ambassador to Peking is accom-
panying the body to Kwanching Tsu.
Toxic, Japan. Oct. 26.-Gloom pre-
walls in this city following receipt Of

Washington, D. c., Oct 26.-Of-
cial Washington was shocked at the
news of the assassination The Jap
anese embassy plunged into morning
while officials of the state department
expressed great sorrow for the TAX
ing off of so distinguished a person
age. Ito was looked upon as one of
the worlds greatest statesmen.
London. Oct 26-The assassina-
tion of Ito, who was regarded here as
elsewhere as maker of modern Japan,
though deplored, is not regarded in
official and diplomatic circles as sur
prising in view of embittered resent
ment Of Koreans over japanese occu-
patton of their home land.

WHO WILL BE \. Y.
MAYOR
ALL THREE CANDIDATES CLAIM
PLURALITY IN NEW YORK
LAST WEEK OF GREAT POLITI-
CAL BATTLE.

New York, Oct 26.-New York S
stirring municipal campaign has en-
tered today the definitely prophetic
stage, and already the managers of
the various canvasses for mayoralty
honors have begun setting forth the
proportions of their predicted vic
tories in figures.
Starting with the prediction of Re-
publican County Chairman Herbert
Parsons, that Otto l.. Barnard, the
republican fusion candidate for may
or, will be elected by a plurality of
at least $4,000, the mathematical
experts of the other candidates have
figures ready to show that substan-
tial pluralities will be forthcoming
for both William ]. Gaynor, the
democratic candidate, and William
r. Hearst, candidate of the Civic al
lance.
All Are Busy.
The candidate for mayor will lead
in activity in this last week of the
battle. Gaynor during the next six
days is scheduled to make seventeen
speeches, while so far IA speaking
dates have been arranged for Mr..
Hearst Mr. Barnard. however, will
probably be the busiest of the trio
His program calls for eight or ten
speeches each evening of the week,
with a start in Brooklyn tonight.
Discussion of the charges in a re-
cent magazine article that Tammany
hall has been protecting a wholesale
white slave" traffic with headquar-
ters in this city, is expected to play
considerable part in the closing
canvass.
The woman's suffrage question has
been worked into the campaign, al
though in way likely to result more
in making of propaganda for the suf
fragist cause than to the advantag,
of any particular candidate. Mrs
Emiline Parkhurst, the militant Eng
lish suffragette, speaks here tonight

MAKES KNoTTY POINT IN LAW.
Owners of Property Have Right to For
bid Flight Of Airships.

A law framed thousands of years
ago by the ancient Romans. and the
only one bearing on the subject, may
have to be amended or wholly nullified
before airships go shooting about
through space at their own sweet will
This important fact was brought out
at meeting of aeronauts in London.
At present nobody has the right to fly
across occupied land. The world is
governed by the ancient Roman law,
"Usque adj Coelum." 1t means that
every landowner has a right to the air
above his head as far up as he
chooses to go, and can get an injunc-
ton to restrain anyone from flying
through it. So far nobody has attempt
ed to put the law in force 1t would
be most uncomfortable, not to say dis
astrous, for a farmer suddenly to
emerge from his barn or smokehouse
and pepper ones airship with bullets.
The fact that the aeronaut from his
lofty perch could not be expected to
see the mo Trespass" sign might not
prove a mitigating circumstance with
the rural magistrate.
