ITO'S BODY
 IS NOW AT OAR|EN
Will Be Carried To Japan in
 Warship Iwato
TRIAL OF THE ASSASSIN
Will Be Held at Daren-Government Will Investigate Plot-Russian
 People Felt Kindly Toward the Dead Prince.

Tokio October 27.-The body of Prince Ito. the murdered elder statesman of Japan, will be taken aboard the Japanese warship Iwato at Dairen and will be brought to Japan, accompanied by full
 suite representing the entire nation The body lay today in a hotel at Dairen, the coffin covered by a simple white pail. Guards surround the hotel and only the princes personal staff was admitted. Throughout the day telegrams poured into TolSio from every country of the
 world and the officials of the foreign of fee are busily engaged in answering them Before the official announcement of Prince Ito's death, difficulty was en- countered, which was of purely tech
 nical nature, in avoiding acknowledge
 ment of the statesman's actual demise This was obviated later when the death was officially announced, an ordinance being simultaneously issued and ante dated, bestowing unusual honors, one of these being advancement from junior to the first grade in the court rank.
 Those closest to the throne say that
 the Emperor is deeply affected by the as- sassination of the prince. He has asked for every detail and apparently fs unable to understand why the murder was com mitted, in view of the evident popularity of Prince Ito. But when informed of all
 the facts so far as they have been learned here, the Emperor ordered that there must be no change in the policy to-
 ward Corea.
 The Emperor of Corea has cabled his
 sympathy to the Emperor of Japan, as well as to Princess Ito at Oiso.
 Trial of Assassin.
 The assassin probably will be tried at
 Dairen. Nine alleged accomplices have
 been arrested, and it is believed the inves-
 tigation will show that the plot was
 matched at Seoul. The Japanese authori-
 ties are determined to unearth the source
 because the assassination of the prince is
 believed to have been planned by the same persons who planned the murder of
 Durham White Stevens, the former diplo- matic adviser of the Corean government, at San Francisco, in 1908.
 The newspapers here comment on the escape of one of the murderers of Stew .ens.
 The leading statesmen here who have been interviewed assert that the death of Prince Ito will not affect the avowed pol cies at home and abroad While Prince Ito was powerful and popular, the general policy of the Japanese government today is not dictated by the older statesmen. but by the active politicians. who are determined to follow peaceful develop rnpnt.

nature and earnestness of its good work. It's this way: the bird is the barker for a restaurant and delivers the goods right along. but doesn't draw any mammoth salary for doing SO.
 The parrot barker hangs fn com modious cage along the side of an eats emporium a short distance from the union station. He spends his time looking toward the station. He knows at which hours trains arrive at the Montgomery depot from other cities and the arrival of these trains is the signal for his activity.
 So soon as a crowd appears In Com merce Street. the parrot begins to whistle. He Is the possessOr of fine. strong. penetrating whistle that at- tracts instant attention. The nearer the crowd comes to the doors of the restaurant the louder the parrot whis- ties. An amused smile comes to the faces of many of the travellers as they catch the significance of the birds wfistling. Numbers of them enter the place.
 When the crowd passes and the street resumes it's natural condition, the bird relapses into a quiet, watchful mood until the time for the arrival of the next train rolls around.

 That Is the work of the bankers and bailyhoo men. They always have the most wonderful marvels or the age.

 And then comes the real meet of the barker's arguments. hrs wonder is moral to a degree and has the endorse ment of the pulpit. press and discrim- mating observers everywhere.

Mary Wright. 12. and Jimmie Wright. aged 1s. negroes and brother and sister, were tried before Recorder Baber yesterday afternoon on the charge of fighting. Both told stories of the strife in which they had been engaged.

 The story of Mary was at variance with the recital of her brother, but the judge saw that Jimmie was less of a fiction dispenser than his sister would have appear. He delivered an edifying lecture to the pair and told them to go.
