japanese Hold that Same
Organization Caused the
Death Of the American

HARBIN, Oct 2S.-The assassin of
Prince Ito was identified today as In
chan Angan, the former editor of a
newspaper at Seoul Angan is said to
be one of an organization of twenty
Koreans who were sworn to accomplish
the death of Prince Ito.
The assassin used Dumdum bullets,
which had been poisoned with cyan
ide before placed in the cylinder of the
revolver. The barrel of the latter has
also been found to have been subjected
to a bath of the poison.
Those closest to the throne say that
the emperor is deeply affected by the
assassination of the prince He has
asked for every detail and apparently
is unable to understand why the MUIR
der was committed, in view of the ev1-
dent popularity of Prince Ito But
when informed of al the facts so far
as they have been learned here, the en-
peror ordered that there must be no
change in policy toward Korea.
The emperor of Korea has cabled
his sympathy to the emperor of Japan
as well as to Princess Ito at Oiso.
The assassin probably will be tried
at Darien. Nine alleged accomplices
have been arrested and it is believed
that the investigation will show that
the plot was hatched at Seoul.
Japanese authorities are determined
to unearth the sources because the
assassination of Prince Ito is believed
Ito have been planned by the same per-
sons who planned the murder of Dur
ham White Stevens, the former diplo-
matte advisor to the Korean govern
ment at San Francisco, 1908. The news
papers here comment ON the escape of
one of the associates of the convicted
murderer of Mr. Stevens.

RED HATS FOR AMERICA.
Pope Expected to Name Two Cardinals
in This Country.

ROME, Oct. 2S.-While the pope only
recently seemed determined not to
have consistory until 1910, 1t Is now
suddenly announced thai one will be
held about the middle of December
and another next spring. 1t is added
that the reason for holding two con-
sistories is for the purpose of appoint
ing as cardinals in the second consis-
tory certain prelates who cannot be in
cluded in the first.
Regarding the appointment of a new
American cardinal, Archbishop Farley,
of New York, Archbishop ireland, of
st. Paul, Mimi, and Archbishop O'Con-
nell, of Boston, are considered the most
likely candidates, while it is reported
also that an American cardinal may
be named as a member of the curia,
and therefore will live in Rome.
Others likely to receive the Red Hat
include Mgr. Falconio, apostolic dele
gate at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct .2S.-Secretary
Ballinger, of the department of the IN
terror, who returned to Washington
last night, after an extensiXe tour OF
inspection of the public domain and in
terests in the far west under the jur-
isdiction of his department, gave out
today a statement which is regarded
as a declaration of his policy as to
these matters.
The statement is written in the
third person and takes up the various
features of the departments work, de-
voting particular attention to the va
rious reclamation enterprises and
especially to water power sites on
the public domain.
The secretary relterates without
fear of contradiction" the statement
hitherto made in his behalf. that since
his incumbency no water power sites
on the public domain heretofore with
drawn, have been secured by private
parties and that he has energetically
made every effort, by temporary with
drawals, to segregate existing power
sites on the public domain, in order
to enable congress to legislate for
Secretary Ballinger states that dur
ing his trip, most of the principal
government reclamation projects have
been visited, some of them with the
senate committee on irrigation. The
water users and settlers upon the
reclamation projects have been confer
red with, as well as the government
officers in the field respecting exist
ing projects, as well as questions
which may involve the Improvement OF
the service and the advancement of
the interests of the settlers"
Respecting reclamation work, the
studies made by the secretary have
inspired him, the statement says, with
an ambition to complete existing pro
jects as rapidly as business prudence
and moneys available will permit and
he is earnestly in favor of securing
authority from congress for the is
suance of bonds against the reclama
tion funds to give the service the
means whereby all existing projects
can be speedily completed and neces-
sary extensions undertaken"
The secretary declined to discuss
any phase of the controversy regard
ing conservation policies which have
been described as existing between
himself and Clifford Pinchot. the gov
ernment forester. He made it plain
that he will deal with conservation in
his annual report, to which he soon
will give his attention

BALLOT BOX
Women Seriously Burn
Election Officers in Ef-

LONDON, Oct 2S.-At the Bermond
sey election today, Mrs. Chaplin, suf-
fragette, slipped into one of the booths
where a thousand ballots had been de-
posted and smashed a bottle of COR
rosive acid on the ballot box. At the
same time a similar outrage was at
tempted in another booth by girl
wearing the suffragette colors.
The actions Of the women are con-
strued to represent a protest against
the exclusion of women from the right
of franchise, the intention being to de-
stroy the ballots.
A number of election officers were Sc
riously burned by the acid. However,
none of the ballots were SO badly dam
aged as to be made worthless. The
suffragettes were promptly arrested
an placed in jail, where they went
without protest.
