Tokio, November e--Rychi Nakoka, the youth who last night assassi mated Premier Takashi Hara, is now thought to have been tool In q conspiracy to Kill the statesman Thorough search Is being made for . sweii dressed unidentified man who was ~observed hurriedly leaving the railway station at Otsuga, where the crime was committed. at the moment Nakoka plunged his sword into the premier's breast. The authorities be- lleve this man to have been the in- stigator of the assassination.
 Premier Hara was about to take a train at 7;so o'clock for Kioto to attend meeting of the Seiyukai party. With him were a number of the party leaders. including Hajime Motoda. former minister of com munications: Heikchi ojawa. GenjI Metsuda, one of the party whips. and Nj. Yoshiuye.
 As Nj. Hara passed through the wicket onto the station platform. Ma koka leaped at him, and exclaiming, The country's enemyl, plunged a short sword into his left breast, the blade puncturinE a lung. The ass sassin was seized while the fallen premier was carried to the station masters room First aid was admin istered and he was taken to hts home He died within few minutes after his arrival there.
 News of the attack had been im- medlateiy dispatched to Emperor Yoshlhito. who sent his lor4 cham berlain to the premler's bedside Crown Prince Rirohito was dining at the Tokio club when word reached him The party dispersed, the prince sending Baron Arata Hamao. his lord steward. to the Hara residence. The fortnightly dance at the Imperial hotel, attended by many prominent Japanese, and other gatherings throughout the city were summarily suspended as the sad news was spread
 Charles B. Warren, American ann bassador, Issued statement ex- pressing his sympathy with Japan in the loss of one of it's foremost leaders. His death. MT. Warren said, was nothing short of calamity, coming at this particular time. It was fortunate. he added, that Japan has group of men who could be de- pended on to steer a safe course in the difficult period confronting the nation.
 The Marquis SaionJi arrived here today from Kioto and conferred with Marquis Matsukata, lord keeper of the privy seal, at the palace, on the subject of the formation of new cabinet, Field Marshal Prince Yama- eata. one of the elder statesmen. and member of the military council of the empire, was unable to attend the con . ference, owing to Illness. He is at lis villa in the Odawara. where Mar quis Matsukata Is expected to pro- coed immediately. It Is regarded as unlikely that there will he any an nouncement of the formation of a new cabinet until after this visit. Speculation over the prospective head of the cabinet still centers on Mar quis Saionji but it IS regarded as a question whether he will accept. Wis count Makino, minister of the impe- rial household, Is among those men toned for the post.

 Pay Highest Honor

By Annocinted Prnss

Washington, November e-=Four American Indian chiefs, each tribal hero, will pay to the unknown dead at Arlington next Friday the highest honors known to their race by placing upon the casket coup stick and war bonnet. Plenty Coos, of the Crows, Lone Wolf of the Kiowas and Amos Red Owl and Stranger Horse of the Sioux were chosen to confer the decoration by Commissioner of Indian Affairs Burke. because of their prominence In the history of the west. Each Is a high chief in his tribe and has fought American soldiers. They will be dressed in full warrior regalia.
 The coup stick, pronounced "koo," is several feet long and was carried by warriors who considered 1t brave deed to touch an enemy during a fight. When warrior did so he cut notch in the stick or attached to 1t an eagle feather.
 The war bonnet was regarded by the warrior as the most important article of regalia and only proven braves were allowed to wear one. The long plume was made from eagle feathers. Consent of the tribe had to be obtained to make war bonnet, and the making was an occasion for much ceremony. including singing and harrangues. Each time a feather was laid in place the chief recounted the particular deed 1t represented.
