Chester Gillis Is engaged in demon
strating a new make of automobile for
the Perth Amboy Garage Company. He
denies that he tried to keep his identity
secret in connection with the acci-
dent at Oak Tree. Mr. ellis says it
was one Of the first times he had the
new car out. He went for a spin to-
ward Plainfeld AS he approached the
Oak Tree bridge over the Lehigh Val
ley tracks the big Plainfield. Metuchen
auto-brs was just coming across. lie
says he had shut off power and was
eoasting along slowly waiting for the
to get out Of the way.
Immediately in front Of him, but on
the side of the road was a girl about
eleven years old, accompanied by lit
tie boy. Gillis says he sounded his
horn and the girl crossed the road in
front Of him. He declares that as he
got right up to them the boy suddenly
decided to cross also and stepped di-
reetly in front of the machine. One Of
the lamps hit the lad knocking him
down, but ellis says he was going SO
slow that he was able to stop the ma
chine before the wheels reached the
boy.
ellis says he say the boy had a bad
cash in his head running diagonally
over one eye but he was conscious. Put.
ting his handkerchief over the wound
he put the boy in the automobile and,
calling to the girl who had been walk
ing with the little fellow, to notify his
parents he put on speed and took the
victim to the Plainfeld hospital The
resident physician was not in at the
time and Gillis says he left the boy
wita the nurses while he went into
Plainfeld and got physician. He ad-
mits he did not tell the hospital people
his name, but says he told them If he
was wanted to communicate with Mar
tins garage in Plainfeld, with which
the garage here is affiliated. ellis
says the accident was entirely unavoid-
able on his part and he did all he could
for the boy. He supposed the girl had

Japan's Policy Unchanged.

speciaI bu UNifsd Pfess Vfra
| Tokyo, Oct. 27:-"The death OF
Prince Ito will not change the Japa-
nese policies In the Pacific and the
| policies toward foreign nations will
be carried out" said Premier Kat
sura today. Prince Ito's conserva-
tive policies were known to have
kept down the radical element in
Japan and a relaxation was feared
by diplomats after his death, but the
premier's assurance quiets this.
BY order of the emperor the court
and all public officials are in mourn
ing for thirty days In honor OF
Prince Hirobumi Ito, the Bismarck
of Japan" who was assassinated at
Harbin, whittier he had gone to hold
a conference with M. Kokovsoff, the
Russian minister of finance, in re-
gard to the situation in Manchuria.
The mikado has issued decree eu-
logizing Prince Ito as Japan's greatest
Statesman and saying that the nation
has sustained an trreparable loss In
his death.
Dispatches from Harbin say that Flu
sal, the Korean assassin, who was ar
rested after firing six shots at Prince
Ito, declares that his act was right
eous and patriotic, and he rejoices in
his success.
He Had Two Confederatss.
After the shooting he made no at
tempt to escape, but with the still
smoking weapon In his hand stood
calmly waiting to be arrested. Two
other men who were with him stood
quietly beside him until the police also
took them into custody.
When the police seized the assassin
he exclaimed, II did 1t for my coun-
try's sake"
On further questioning he declared
that he and his compatriots had gone
to Harbin from Korea for the express
purpose Of killing Prince Ito, because
while the prince was resident general
I'm Korea he had caused the execution
of several of the assassin's relatives.
Neither the assassin nor his COM
panions betrayed the least excitement
The latter, who are also Koreans, ad-
mitted that they had aided In the as
sassination because Of the wrongs Ja-
pan had indicted upon their country.
They had no personal animosity
against Prince Ito, but abetted his as
sassination simply from patriotic mo-
tives.
The prisoners will be tried by the
Japanese courts, as, although the
crime was committed in Manchuria,
all Koreans since their country was
seized by the Japanese are under Japa-
ness Jurisdiction.
Three In Party ALSO Shot.
At first all attention was directed to
the dying prince. but later 1t was
learned that three others OF his party
Ibis private secretary, NJ. Hawaiian,
the Japanese consul general, and NJ.
Tonaka, general manager Of the South
Manohurian railway--had bsen fft by
the assassin's bullets All three were
badly wounded. but the doctors think
their injuries will not prove fatal
The police had taken extra preeau-
lions to guard Prince Ito, and special
orders had been given to look out for
Koreans, as II was well known that
there were many of them IN Manchu-
ria and thnt they were very bitter to-
tcantinueo Oh vass ~

FRANK CAN'T WILL
PRESENT THE BILL
Members of Association Pay no Heed
to Objections and Attorney Gavit
Said That Cars Desire WAS
Simply to Please Steel Company
for Whom he Works"

The HammOnd-Gary court fight was
carried to the meeting of the Calumet
Deep Waterways association last Fri
day by Homer j. Carr, the wOuId-be
prOmOter-in-chfef of Gary, who caused
a great deal of unpIeasantness by his
Injecting of the court house quarrel
into n matter which did not involve ii.
The Calumet Deep Waterways asso-
citation had agreed. as a body. to the
provisions of the bill establishing
sanitary district in this region. The
question as to who should be dele
gated to take the pill TO indianapolis
came up.
1t was suggested that W. B. Con-
key of Hammond would be a good
one to take the bill to the capital and
place it in the hands of Representa-
tive Mickey. Mr.. Conkey announced
that it would be impossible for him
to go at the present time, on account
of the pressure of business.
Objected TO Gavit.
The suggestion was then made, that
as Frank Gavit was going to Indianap-
oils, he could take the bill down and
see that it was introduced In an
instant Homer j. Carr was on his feet
to offer protest.
Mr. Carr said that Frank Gavit was
the most unrelenting and most bitter
Of all of the opponents that Gary had
in the court fight. which is not yet
settled. He declared that for this
reason he was positively opposed to
Mr.. Gavit's having anything to do with
the bill.
Mr.. Carr's protests did not make any
differences. Mr. Gavit was delegated
to go any way. and whoever Mr.. Carr
had picked out as the man he though
was best suited to represent the region
staid at home.
The members of the association, IL
! discussing the matter afterwards, stat
/ ed that they did not see any reason
for Carrs injecting all of the bitter
ness of the recent court fight into thi
| matter
They stated that as a result o
Cars misguided action. the cities o
Lake county would become separate,
so widely that there would never b
any hope of their cooperating even il

TROUBLE STARTED IN
EVERYDAY FAMILY ROW
Neighbors of Sam Tyler Send Report
to Police Station That Murder Is
Being Committed-BOth Placed
Under Arrest on Charge Of Assault
and Battery.

Another of those bad cutting scrapes
occurred yesterday afternoon among
the colored people OF Gary, and re-
suited in the slashing Of both man and
wife in a family quarrel A "hurry-up'
call was sent to the police station yes
terday morning which led the officers
to believe that a murder was being
committed, and when they saw the
bleeding woman and the injured man
they almost came to the conclusion
that the report was true.
The trouble occurred about 1915 yes
terday morning. and no one knows how
it started. 1t was a family affair Of
some character and before the wordy
argument had gone very far the wo-
man drew out dirk and began to
slash at her husband. The only time
that the knife touched him was when
it struck his hand and made a deep
cash. without hesitating longer the
husband then seized and axe and
| lunged it at her head.
The blow struck her glancingly and
! did little injury. The blood flowed.
however, and the people who we're at
! tracted to the fight by the noise became
| frightened and hastily called the po-
lice, with the report that a colored man
was numbering a woman.
When they were arrested they gave
the names of Samuel and Fanny Tyler,
their residence as Fifteenth and Wash
| ington streets. and they were booked
| for assault and battery. The couple
was released Immediately on bonds
| furnished by Attorney Clarence Bretsch
! and they will appear at the police sta
ton this morning for trial
