Korean ASSaSSinS in Toxic
With Sworn Purpose of
Wiping Out.
FIVE ARE ON THE LIST
Prince Tamagata, Premier KalsUra,
General Some and General Hasega-
wa Are the Doomed Ones--Police
Force Has Been Doubled.
[uN1rnp pRrss LEASED VIM. ]

Toxic, Jan. 24.-Double police
activity was ordered today follow
ing the receipt of news that FIVE
Korean assassins have arrived in
Toxic with the sworn purpose Of
numbering Prince Yamagata, Pre-.
mier Katsura, Foreign Minister Ko~
mura, Resident General Some and
General Hasegawa.
Each assassin has been assigned
victim and the government is con-
vinced that the wholesale assassina-
tion has been planned as a grand
coup by the Korean revolutionary
society.
A large body of special detectives
was set to work today to trace the
Koreans and the marked men have
been surrounded by guards. They
will be protected, and will go about
today only under heavy guard, un-
til the supposed assassins have been
run down.
The plot was exposed through n
confession obtained from a member
of the revolutionary party in Seoul,
Korea, and is considered by the gov.
eFnment to demand the most prompt
measures on the part of the officials.
Alta secret meeting of the revolu-
tionists at which the assassination
of Prince Ito was celebrated as Il
great victory for the Koreans, the
great plot was formed
There were many volunteers to
undertake to accomplish itetahrdlu
undertake it's accomplishment. Lots
were drawn and the men selected
after the fashion of European anar-
chists Each man, the confessor
stated, swore to give up his life in
order to carry out his purpose.
It has been learned that the five
men succeeded In entering this city
and are now in hiding awaiting
their opportunity to strike. The
fact that their own lives have been
forfeited in advance and that dam
ger of death is nothing to them,
adds intensely to the situation.
Every possible effort is being
made to trace them but making the
matter public undoubtedly has put
the assassins on their guard.
The government officials today
fear that the assassins will postpone
action and simply remain in hiding
until the present excitement passes
over If they can avoid arrest This
phase of the case, added to the fact
that other assassins, 1t is said, are
ready to replace any of the five who
may be captured, makes II all the
more serious as IL places the high
officials of the government I'm per-
manent danger of being murdered.
The campaign Of assassination is
the outgrowth Of the struggle OF
Korea TO freb herself of japanese
domination. The recent agitation OF
a plan of annexation for Korea has
aroused new bitterness. The heavy
blow dealt Japan in the murder of
Prince Ito has encouraged the Kor-
can rebels, who are exalted by the
belief that they are fighting the bat
tie OF patriotism and are laying
down their lives for the freedom OF
their country

Chicago, Jan. 24.-'No meat for

al Amalgamation of Peripatetic Pau
pers, who have gathered here today
for a weeks convention. Scores OF
delegaes have motOred here on the
trucks of private cars, and many
leading hoboes of the country are in

The first day of the convention was
taken up in the purely routine man
ner of getting various delegates out
of the county jail and the city pris-
ons in which they have been con-
fined because of paralysis of the ia
Dor" portion of the brain.
An executive committee meeting
was called last night by j. Eads How
the millionaire tramp" of st. Louis,
chairman of the convention. The
committeeme nwere just beginning
their work when an unfortunate an
nouncement OF coffee and sand
wiches" caused a precipitate rush for
the lunch counter.
IL is said that among the matters
10 come before the meeting will be a
resolution denOuncing police depart
ments of the country as "combina-
tiOns" in restrain of their trade. A
movement for the abolition OF free
lunch counters also will be de-
nounced.

commissioner of the general land

Chicago, Jan. ,24-With the eyes

are being placed on the defensive to-
day by the opening of the second

mann had been informed of the
workings of the Hyde-Benson COM
bine and that he approved of the
Blue Mountain Withdrawals at about
the same time this information had
been given to him.
This morning Worthington re-
newed his objections, contending
that Heney was going too far in his
claims for the evidence. Judge
Wolverton held with Heney.
1t is the expectation of the gov
ernment through the evidence that
is going on that Hermann had a
full knowledge of the way in which
forest reserves were being created
for the benefit of school land specu-
lators and that in the face of this
knowledge he favored the Mays
Jones creation of the Blue Mountain
reserve.
This in addition to other evidence,
which is expected to bring the ac-
tions of Hermann still closer to the
Blue Mountain reserve. will close
the governments case and open the
way for the defense. It is believed
that Mr.. Heney will be able to close
the prosecutions evidence tomorrow
perhaps by noon. If that should
prove true the court will rest for
half a day in order that the defense
may shape up it's evidence for pre-
sentation and map out its case. 1t
is not believed that Col. Worthing-
ton will require an extended time to
get his evidence before the jury.
1t is not known yet whether Her
mann will take the stand, though it
is believed that he will do so, in
which case his examination by
Heney may be long.

Paris, Jan. 24.-Two persons re-
ported to have been drowned and a
dozen villages flooded this evening by
the breaking of the dyke at Saone
au Doubs The worst is reported
from Chalons where the deaths oc-
Cured.
Scores of persons in the submerged
region were driven to the roofs of
their homes where they are suffering
from exposure and fright. Rescue
parties have been organized and
probably will work all night carry
ing victims to places of safety.
The Seine today is ten inches above
its previous highest water mark,
reached in 1876. The volume OF
water it is carrying is much greater
than in that year, in view of the
fact that the channel has been deep
ened an additional II feet within
the last 20 years.
The retaining walls along the
banks are in serious danger of col
lapse. In many places they have
been undermined, and several cave
ins already have resulted.
Portions of the street fronting the
Chamber of Deputies collapsed today,
barring traffic from the thorough
fare. The basement of the great
building was flooded.
Place st. Michael and the under
ground station of the Orleans railway
were partly filled with water shortly
before noon. The barricaded win
dows of the station crashed in be-
meath the flood, and a muddy deluge
seethed into the tunnel.
The city's great railroad system

the authorities decided that further
occupancy would be dangerous.
The morgue, one of the historic
buildings of the city, made famous

ject of attack. A great number of
witnesses summoned today are Off
cials and employees of that concern.
Sims is armed with data secured
by government officials who have
been working more or less secretly
in securing it.
1t is estimated that Sims will not
attempt to secure the indictment OF
individual packers but will probably
attempt to indict them collectively.
1t is also said that Sims will submit
evidence upon which he hopes for
the indictment of the National Pack
ing Company as a corporation and
panies believed to be allied with the
National Packing Company.
That the packers will refuse to
testify before the grand jury is in
ferred by the refusal absolutely to
discuss the investigation and by the
Nction of their attorneys not only in
Nclining to talk upon the subject,
also in counselling the packers
'lence.
)ry attorney reputedly connect
with the trust" is here, and the
packers will present a formidable
array of legal force in the forthconn-
ing struggle. In order to meet this,
prosecutor Sims has engaged r. w.
Medaris as special federal counsel to
assist him.
Hope of relief from high. prices
of meats through action against the
packers, was somewhat mitigated
by the statements of j. Ogden Ar
mour, who, although refusing 10
discuss the grand jury investigation,
commented freely on the high meat
problem.
"You can eliminate the big pack
ers from the situation, but the high
prices will remain" said Armour.
Prices are high because the laws of
nature cannot be changed. Increase
production and prices will fall"
Armour declared that the present
state of the market did not suit the
packers; that they preferred lower
prices for the reason that they then
could sell more meat.

ROOSENELT-TAFT SPLIT DOUBTFUL.

The insurgent republicans will not be Sc badly disappointed if they do not look forward to a split be- tween Roosevelt and Taft. It is true that the logic of the political situation would place Roosevelt in opposition to the president, and it is equally true that if Roosevelt were in the White House today he would not following. especially with reference to the mossback standpat clement of the party. Roosevelts record and his known sympathies place him in the ranks of the pro gressive element. and he will doubt less assist this element-so far as he can without antagonizing Taft personally.
 Perhaps a correct summing up of the situation would be to say that although Roosevelt does not ap- prove of the company Taft keeps, nor of some Of the acts of the ad- ministration, he has hopes for the future so far as Taft is concerned personally. The president may some day become a Roosevelt in surgent himself it may be reasoned, and the former president may think he has grounds for the hope
 It is really significant that Taft has made haste to publicly declare his lack of sympathy with the fac tional fight on Roosevelt in New York. The president says over his own signature that he knew nothing of the purpose of Vice President Sherman and his friends until he read of their victory" in the news papers. Taft is not opposing Roose- welt tn any particular, it is plain and so long as this is true. no one need expect to see Roosevelt fight Taft Outside of that, Roosevelts activity in politics will be of great interest from now on.

 As a matter of fact. the men and women who are doing things when they are fifty years old are not the ones who were pointed out on chil- dren's day.
