 it is assumed that it will be exhum- | ed and reinterred in one of the palaces
 at KabuI.
 | Meanwhile there have been rival l claimants to the succession. The new | Emir is Amarullah Khan, third son | of Habibullah, the dead monarch. He
 is 26 years old and has never been
 out of the country but he is describ- ! ed as having an "acttve brain and a keen intelligence.' | Details of the assassination of Hab-
 ibu1lah now confirm the cable reports | that he was killed in his sleep while
 one a grouse hunting expedition. He had motored from his winter
 palace at Jellalabad, accompanied by
 his eldest son and NaZurulla Khan,
 his brother. According to a Calcutta 1 newspaper, about two days before his | death he was seen at Kha.lat-U1- Se-
 raj. a place about 25 miles from Jel-
 lalaba-d, by a European engineer en- gagged in work there. His visit was a
 surprise and no lunch had been pre-

While arrangements for the taking over the big Remington Arms plant by the Willys- Overland Automobile Go. of Toledo, have not been complet- ed. John M. Willys, president of the concern, in an interview with local newspapermen yesterday said he was favorably impressed with the plant, it's locality, transportation facilities and housing conditions surrounding 1t. 'I have only made a superficial examination" said the auto magnate, but what I have seen impresses me favorably.''
 MT wi1lys admitted that part of his reasons for an expansion of his factory in other places than Toledo was because of the labor troubles there, but made it clear he intended to expand anyway, and had been thinking of 1t for the past two years, saying:
 The idea of expansion is nothing new to me; but I feel that it would be better business to go elsewhere than Toledo. If I come to Bridge port 1t will be for the manufacture of small cars, which I have plan ned.'
 In regard to prospects of locating here Mir. Willys said he had not learned what price the Pennington Arms would ask for the plant, and indicated the entire deal hinged on , this most important factor. When asked if it was not true that the com pany wanted s25, 100000 he said. 'I do not think the price is as high as that but of course I do not know" Both MT. WilIys and H. S. Kimball president of the Remington Arms, who was in this city yesterday and at

the factory, seemed adverse to giv- ing definite information on the ulti- mate sale of the plant. It was sig nihcant that Mfr. W1Ilys was several degrees more optimistic than MT. ktmban The head of the plant, in his talk with reporters said the prop erty was for sale or lease and that something would be done with 1t in the near future. MT. Willys Is not the only one who has looked over the plant, said Mir. Kimball. Everyone is looking around at the present time. We still have government men in here and we can't put them out"
 In talking of the small car likely to be manufactured in Bridgeport, MT. Willys said that production would un- doubtably reach 300,0OO a year and that 5O,000 of this amount would be sent to foreign trade. Ut would not be my intention to assemble a large number of the cars in Bridgeport as I have assembling stations along the east and gulf coasts, but all the parts would be made here.
 The Remington plant, if taken over by the auto concern would, according to MT. Willys employ about 10000 people. He would bring a great many men from Toledo.
 Lack of police protection Tor the men who were willing to work during the strike in Toledo, was given as the reason for closing the Ohio plant At the present time it is shut up tight The manufacturer Is confident the difficulty will soon be over.
 The Toledo man repelled the lack of facilities in Bridgeport and said harbor Improvements would undoubt- edly attract big concerns.
