THREE ARMED MEN
Harrison Policeman Captures
Trio of Philadelphians on
Lonely Street.

Armed @ the teeth" three Ph.la-
delphia youths were landed in the
tolls In Harrison early today, but not
until one of them made an attempt
TO draw from his pocket a loaded
gun. A lone Harrison policeman cap
tnred the trio. He had to resort to
drawing his revolver to accomplish
the arrest The prisoners were held
in default of $1,000 bail each to await
the action of the Hudson county
grand jury.
shortly after o'clock Patrolman
James McManuB. doing plainclothes
duty, saw the fellows Sinking along
South Fifth street. They were fully
two blocks away. McManus went
after them. On account of the start
they were able to go through one
of the side streets. In any event they
dropped out of sight.
McManus. returned to Harrison ave-
nue., where he again came across the
trio. He questioned them. One made
a move as if to draw something,from
a; back pocket. McManus, quick as a
flash. drew his own gun and Gov
ered' the fellows. He searched them
and took a revolver from two of
them. In a pocket of the third were
number of .3s-calibre bullets. The
revolvers were of the same calibre
and were fully loaded. McManus ar
rested the three and took them TO the
police station. They registered as fol-
lows: James Collins. % years old, of
21S South Tenth street,; Frederick

named had the bullets, while both
Livewell and Collins carried the re-
volvers, the police say.
In court today Collins declared he
had been robbed on the meadows
when he made trip by freight from
Philadelphia some time ago. To
guard against a repetition of the oc-
currence, Collins bought the gun and
came to Harrison by freight. Live
we'll told the court he purchased his
gun for use on Fourth of July. He
bought it seven months ago. he said

JAP STATESMAN,
u. S. FR|END, SLAIN
Two Other Diplomatists Re-
ported to Be Marked for
Assassination.

TOXIC, Sept. 6.-Mortiaro Abe, di-
rector of the political bureau of the
japanese foreign office. who was
stabbed yesterday, died here today.
The crime was attributed to his
policy regarding California land own
ership legislation. His assailants have
not been captured.
Another theory is that Director Abe
was mistaken by his assailants for
DR.. Sun Vat Sen, the Chinese revolu-
tionary leader, whom he greatly re-
sembled 1t was reported a month
ago, soon after DIR. Sun Vat SEN s
flight from China and arrival in
Japan, that a band of 100 assassins
had been sent by the Chinese govern
ment to kill DR.. Sun, General Huang
Sing and other Chinese revolutionary
fugitives.
According to the Tai-Hei- 70 news
agency, the conspirators intended
also to kill Premier Yamamoto and
the minister of foreign affairs, Baron
Maxine.
The assassination of Director Abe
Is generally regarded as a political
crime, lie is believed to have been
an Indirect victim of the sensational
japanese, press, which recently at
tackled him and other foreign Office
officials, calling then national traitors
who must be removed.
At q luncheon yesterday of the
same group of agitators who former
ly organized mass-meetings against
America, some of the speakers de-
nounced Abe for misgiliding japanese
policy In China.
Director Abe discussed the political
situa ton with the correspondent of
the Associated Press only three bours
before the murder. He carefully went
over the recent developments in
Southern China, and characterized as
ridiculous the reports that Japan
intended Immediately to occupy the
Chinese city of Marking.
He bitterly assailed the inaccuracies
and exaggerations of the Japanese
press relative to both the Californian
and the Chinese questions and said
the newspapers were inspired with
the idea of embarrassing and over
throwing the Japanese ministry.
Some shopkeepers who saw the as
sassins strike Director Abe pursued
them, but without success, They say
that Abe walked heroically to the
doorstep of his residence, where he
collapsed in the arms of his son.
The surgeons called hoped to save the
patient by an operation, but the
wounds were too serious and he died
as a result of hemorrhages.

known resident of this city, who was
charged with embezzlement of funds
from the San Francisco office of
Krementz e. Co., the local jewelers.,

the receipts of the San Francisco
branch, of which he was manager at
the time, but the officials of the COM
pany said this was but a small part
of a large defalcation.

the prisoner on probation, but he de-
clared the public good demanded the
man be punished. He said in view
of the mans family he would be le-
nient and imposed the minimum SEN
tence of eighteen months
