MOB Stoned
PREMIER Of
JAPANESE
Cabinet Has Already Re.
signed

Toxic, Japan, Feb. 10-Prince Taro
Katsura, premier and minister of for
eign affairs of Japan, was stoned to-
day by mob in the streets.
The stoning of Katsura came im-
mediately after he had offered to the
emperor his resignation and that Of
the other members of the cabinet.
Several newspaper offices were also
attacked by unruly crowds, who at
tempted to set fire to the buildings.
There were many riots in various
parts of the city, in the course Of
which a number of policemen and
civilians were injured. The excite
ment continues.
Marquis Kimmochi Saionji, former
premier and now leader of the con-
stitutional party, was summoned TO
the palace by his majesty Immediately
after the receipt of Katsura's resig-
nation.
The cabinets action is the result of
the firm attitude in the diet of the
constitutionalists and liberals, who re-
fused to follow the example of Saionaji
in the withdrawal of the recent vote
of lack of confidence in the govern
ment.
The cabinets only step to meet this
opposition was an immediate dissolu-
ton of the diet, but the minister of
marine, Admiral Baron Minoru Saito
refused to sign the recommendation
for this action and the resignation OF
the cabinet became imperative.
