JAPAN'S PREMIER
is ASSASSINATED
Head of Mikado's Cabinet Slain
While at Railroad Station in
Tokyo, Says Dispatch.
HAS HELD Office SINCE 1918
News of Leaders Death Causes Sem
sation Among Japs Who Are in
Washington to Attend Arms
Conference.

Tokyo, Nov. 7.-Premier Takashi
Hara, head of the japanese cabinet
and for forty years prominent IN pub
lie affairs in Japan, was assassinated
here.
Premier Hara was fatally stabbed in
the breast at the railroad station in
Tokyo.
A Korean boy hiding in a third class
waiting room sprang upon the premier
and stabbed him repeatedly in the
breast. The cabinet leader died fif-
teen minutes later. His assailant was
Immediately arrested.
Takashi Hara had been premier
of Japan since 1918. He was leader
of the Sayukawi (government) party.
The premier handled the Japanese
government during a time when ques-
tons Of worldwide Importance were
pending in the Orient
His policy was strongly anti-Bolshe-
vik, but he consistently contended that
Japan had no aggressive or warlike
aims either in Siberia or China. He
played an important part in forming
the Japanese policy to be followed at
the Washington conference and in
public interview he pronounced all talk
of possible war between Japan and
America to be absolutely useless.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE State de-
partment received confirmation of the
assassination of Premier Hara.
Prince Tokugawa, heal of the Jap
anese conference delegation, has been
prominently mentioned for the pre-
miership when the Hara ministry was
under attack, and at one time was sug-
gested as a compromise candidate for
the post.
The first news of the death Of
Premier Hara to reach President
Harding was conveyed to him by
newspaper correspondents at their
semi-weekly conference with him.
The President had heard of the
stahbing of the premier, but had not
been informed of the State department
dispatch carrying the word of the
death. Mr. Harding was visibly af-
fected. He paused for several mo-
ments and then said:
81 am profoundly sorry" He reit-
Grated this phrase several times and
added: Persons in authority are hor-
rified to learn of such outrages. This
is especially distressing at this time,
when we are all trying to get together
and have the good will Of all peoples.
1t is an unhappy and discordant note. !"
News Of the assassination of Pre-
mier Hara on the eve of the assembly
of the armament conference here
caused a profound sensation in Wash
ington.
The news came as stunning shock
to the members of the Japanese con-
ference colony here, all of whom were
associates Of the dead premier and
appointees of his administration.
AS a result of the death Of Premier
Hara, it was announced that Sen
nosuke Kokota, chief of the japanese
legislative bureau and attached to the
armament delegation of that country,
will return to Tokyo Mr.. Kokora was
said to have been the late premier's
fright hand" man in legislative mat
tiers

from all parts Of the hall.
''The failure to pass this measure, :
Scrugham continued, twas the result
of small group controlling major
ity. Let the American Legion show
congress it is disguised with the back
door politics to which it has been sub
jected."

the bill as now before congress and
without further delay was passed with

MANY ATTEND HOG SALE

The attendance at the Fred Sew
ers pure bred Poland China hog sale
Tuesday was materially reduced on
account of the Indictment weather.
Many buyers from a distance who
came by rail, were in attendant Q,
but many others who had hoped to
drive overland were unable to get
here. Mr.. SEWERS had an offering or
40 head. In this sale there were 33
choice spring boars sired by Iowa
Timm, the big boar that won the
first prize at the state fair this year.
There were also four head by Long
King, and three by Big Bob. and
were mostly out of the daughters of
Big Bob, Col. Jack and Smooth
Jones.
The average for the sale was a
little better than $110 per head. This
is not bad average by any means.
while of course 1t is not in keeping
with prices of few years ago. Mr..
SEWERS is well pleased with his sale,
which would no doubt have been bet
ter had the weather been mora fav.
orable.

BODY OF SOLDIER
TO ARRIVE FRIDAY
REMAINS OF HENRY MILLER,
KILLED IN FRANCE, TO BE
BURIED HERE.

Mrs. Conrad Miller, of this city,
yesterday received word from the
war department at Washington, that
the remains of her son, Private Hen
ry Miller, killed in France in 1918,
had been shipped from Hoboken, N.
j., Wednesday morning and that
they would likely arrive IN Audubon
early Friday morning. About two
weeks ago Mrs. Miller received word
that the body of her son had arriv-
ed in the United States, but 1t has
taken several days before the last
lap of the journey could be made.
Funeral services will be held next
Sunday afternoon at 1880, from the
Presbyterian church, in charge of the
pastor, Rev. VIM. Mack. The Amer
lean Legion will attend the funeral
in a body and Private Miller will be
given full military honors.
Young Miller was among the first
to leave Audubon when this country
became involved in the world war.
He left the farm and went into camp
where he remained until sent over
seas. He was a splendid soldier and
made the supreme sacrifice that JUS
tice might go forward unhampered
and future generations enjoy the
fruits of freedom.
