BLOODY VENGEANCE
WILDLY URGED BY
JAPANESE PUBLIC

Toxic, Sepi. S.-Mortiaro Abe, di-
rector of the political bureau OF the
Japanese foreign office, died today, the
victim of unknown assassins. His as
s%ailants, who are believed to have been
students, lay in wait for him in front
of his house on Thursday evening,
while he was at the railway station TO
meet H. Ijuin, minister to China, who
had just been recalled from Pekin.
Director Abe was attacked by two
young men, who ran out of an alley
toward him. One seized him by the
shoulders. while the other plunged a
short sword into his abdomen twice.
The assassins escaped in the darkness.
1t was not thought at first that the
directors wound would prove fatal, for
they were promptly dressed, after
passersby had carried him to his home.
Excitement Intense.
Excitement is intense here following
the reports of the massacre of Japan
csc and the insult to the Japanese flag
at Marking and there is much respon-
sible clamor for drastic action against
China. similar to the recent clamor
assassination of Director Abe may
have originated in resentment of the
policy Of the foreign office in either or
both of these matters. The foreign Of
flee officials In both cases nave stead
lily adhered to a policy of calmness.
Student Element Blamed.
The student element, at whose door
the assassination is laid, has been in
creasingly active in politics.. Recently
three students tried to see Baron
| Maxine. minister of foreign relations,
and submit to him a solution of the
California land question. The ensa-
tional press has been attacking the
foreign office on both the California
| and the Chinese policies.

was mistaken by his assassins for DR..
Sun Vat Sen. the Chinese revolutionary
leader, whom he greatly resembled. 1t
was reported a month ago, 500 after
DR.. Sun Vat Sens flight from China
that 100 ~assassins had been sent by the
Chinese government to kill DIR. Sun,
General Huang Sing and other Chinese
revolutionary fugitives.
According to the Tai-Hei-Yo News
agency, the con%spirators intended also
to kill Premier Yamamoto and the
minister Of foreign affairs, Baron
Maxine.
Crime Is Political.
The assassination of Director Abe is
generally regarded as q political crime.
He is believed to ia been an indi-
rect victim of the sensational Japanese
press, which recently attacked him and
other foreign office officials calling
them national traitors who must be
removed,
At a luncheon yesterday of the same
group of agitators who formerly or
| gained mass meetings against Amer
lea, some of the speakers denounced
Abe for ~misguiding Japanese policy in
China
Director Abe discussed the political
situation with the correspondent of the
Associated Press only three hours be-
fore the murder. He carefully went
over the recent developments in south
ern China and characterized as 'ridic-
ulous'' the reports that Japan intended
Immediately to occupy the Chinese city
of Marking.

CRITICIZES
COMMERCE COMMISSION

Washington, D. c., Sept. S.-A big
row is threatened because Of the fail
ure Of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission to talk proper steps to protect
the public interest in physical valua-
ton of railroads. The commission has
named a board of engineers to do
this work. This week it named
another board to assist the COM
mission. The last board includes
State Commissioner Staples, of
Minnesota, and four experts. The two
boards however are practically a part
of the commission and Senator Cum
minis and others contend the public
should be represented just as are the
railroads by a trained body of experts
Independent Of the commission owing
no allegiance to n one but the public.
Many Of the state commissioners hold
this view and Clifford Thorne, of Iowa,
is understood to hold it. though he re-
fused to make a statement while here
this week. Senator Cummins intends
to make a fight neX winter for legis-
lation to give the public representation.

they say, and the promise has BEEN
made that it will b. taken up early I'M
the coming session.
One of the conditions that threatened
h peaceful passage Of the Underwood
Simmons tariff bill dissolved into thin
air when the Senate majority swung
solidly into line behind Its leaders to;
defeat an amendment designed to reg
ulate trusts.
BY a vote of SIS to 12 the Senate re-
jected q proposal by Sepator Kenyon
to put aluminium upon the free list.
Senate Kenyon and those who Joined
him In supporting the amendment de-
clared that the manufacture of alumni
mum in the United States was In the
control. of a monopoly-the aluminium
company OF America. The vote was &C.
cepted as a prelude to action upon an
other amendment proposing to free list
h manufactures OF all combinations
declared by the courts to be monop-l
olies.
Chairman Simmons OF the finance
committee. announced 1t was not the
purpose of the majority party to legts-
late trust questions at the present time
He agreed that the Baltimore platform
declared against trust made products
but said this was not the time for
trust legislation. He said congress had
spent the summer on the tariff and
would spend the fall on the currency
and promised that when these matters
were disposed of trust legislation would
be taken up. He prophesied thai win
ter would find the legislators still In,
session.

Senator Simmons spoke after q visit
to the White House conference with
President Wilson and 1t was said that
i~nsurgent" democrats had been told
that President Wilson did not think it
a good time to go to the aid OF the
progressive republicans.
Senators Reed and Walsh announced
themselves In accord with q policy OF
trust regulation but argued that many
difficulties lay In the way of attempt
ing such restrictions in a tariff meas
ure. Senator Oliver made a speech In
defense OF the Aluminun1 Company OF
America, denying many accusations
aimed at that company recently by
Senator Kenyon. He said 1t was lit
tie less than Insanity to reduce tho
duty on aluminium to the proposed
rates, when 1t meant a loss in revenue
of more than $500, 900 annually.
The regular republicans voted with
n democrats against the amendment.
Those who supported 1T were: Brady,
Bristow, Catron, Clapp. Crawford,
Jones, Lafollette, Norris, P~oindexter.
