Washington, Nov. 5.-The Japanese delegation to the armament confer ence was thrown into sorrow and con fusion, and official Washington in- cluding the delegates from other lands to the conference, was pro- foundly shocked today by the an nouncement from Tokio that Takashi Hara, Japanese premier, had been as- sassinated by a young Samuari youth, who was at once captured.
 President Harding expressed his horror at the outrage. 1t was an un- happy discordant note, he said, in a formal statement, at time when all were seeking to come together around the conference table and add to the
 good understanding and good will
 throughout the world Secretary Hughes went immediately to the Ja-
 panese embassy and expressed his condolence to Baron Shidehara, the
 Japanese ambassador. Later he cabled to Ambassador Warren at Tokio to express to Count Urhida, the foreign minister, his profound dis tress, and to say how much the news had caused a feeling of deep sorrow throughout the United States.
 The death of Premier Hara, who
 had attained a dominating political influence in the Japanese empire and who was expected personally to shape from Tokio the Japanese policy at the forthcoming conference, is very ser

To FoIlow Policies of Hara.

Washington, Nov 5.--The assassi- nation of Premier Hara will not change Japan's attitude toward the conference on limitation of armament and Far Eastern questions, Baron Shidehara, the Japanese ambassador said today.

A great and good man has been taken from Japan at time when he can least be spared, he said, adding that to carry forward the Pacific policy, to which the late premier was com mitted, will now be a just and worthy tribute to his memory.
 A resolution expressing regret over the death of Premier Hara was adapt- ed today by the Senate upon motion of Senator Lodge of Massachusetts.

By this time the passengers were firing in our direction. From the cars in front armed guards poured a stream of bullets toward the mail car. Flames from gasoline or waste. ig- nited by the explosions, began to light up the interior of the car. They made us throw out the pouches.

Overlooked a Fortune.

Champaign, H., Nov. S.--J. E. Fogerty, engineer of the Illinois Gen. tral Limited train held up near Pax ton last and only member of the train crew who took part in the affray and escaped uninjured, described the holdup and his experience here today. Four train employees were wounded.
 Belief that $100,000 in cash was in the mail car was expressed by rail- road men. The bandits, however, missed the most valuable pouch in the car, railroad officials stated, and it was believed that it was this par ticular pouch that was sought.
 The pouch, believed to contain the fortune, was thrown out, carried a short distance from the train by the bandits, and by some reason, was dropped and later recovered by the train crew. The pouches were stolen and the remaining contents of the ear were burned.
 "The first intimation l had of the robbery came shortly after we left Paxton" Engineer Fogerty said. heard a grunt, turned around and a masked man clambered down beside me, thrusting a revolver against my ribs. Another had the fireman GOV cred. Stick 'em up,' he shouted.
 Before l could reply he had me slow down and run on down to the bridge across the Vermillion river.
 He had a bunch of men waiting al the river and had me flash the head light twice to let them know all was well. The bandit allowed me to send man back to flag other trains. Ther he forced me to climb down and gS
