SAYS SLAYING NOT TO HAMPER JAP PROGRAM Delegate to Arms Parley Discusses Effect of Hara Slaying. DEATH HELD GREAT LOSS Sptcft' ** Indiana Daily Times and PI ilf.delphia Public Ledger. By ROBERT BARRY. WASHINGTON. Nov. s.—Prince Iyesato Tokug&wa, chairman of the Japanese delegation to the conference on the limitation of armament, gave the writer last night his view that the assassination of Premier Hara in Tokio would not upset Japan’s program nor hamper the participation of her commissioners. ■ "I do not think there will be any change in onr program concerning the conference,” PrincalTokugawa said. “We are going to attend the conference, of course, unless we receive orders from home not to attend it. HARA’S DEATH GREAT LOSS TO JAPAN. "Mr. Hara's death is a great loss to Japan. It is so especially at this time when the great powers are going to dis■etlls Important questions. He was one of the greatest statesmen Japan has produced. Naturally, he had political enemies as all statesmen have. But even his enemies had to admit that he was an ble statesman. "In spite of the fact that the Tokio correspondents of the American newspapers have cabled to this country about Mr. Hara's death, we have not received any direct news about it. I hope It is not true, as it was in my case. In Japan, I i*.J-rstand, It was reported that I was seriously injured during my Voyage. But there was no truth about the report whatever.” Mas ana o Hanihara, vice minister of fareign affairs and the secretary general | of the Japanese delegation, and other 1 officials of the party declined to talk for publication, bnt it was the con- i sensus among all Japanese in touch with home politics that the success of the con- \ ference would not be imperilled by the death of Premier Hara, however, much of his influence in behalf of AmericanJapanese relations and understanding might be missed for a time. TOKIO TO PASS ON ALL QUESTIONS. Only the weakness of the opposition party prevents a most acute confusion in Japanese policy at the conference, ae- j cording to competent observers. Under the procedure of the Tokio foreign office, the Japanese delegates cannot proceed beyond the actual instructions of premier Hara. Their ambassadorial authority does not Include any power to initiate policy. They are required, there fore, to refer all new questions back to Tokio for Instructions. Until anew prime minister is chosen, the delegation cannot proceed beyondthdlr actual authority from Mr. Hara. It will be recalled that the Japanese delega'es to the Paris conference frequently delayed procedure by referring all controvesial questions back to Tokio, until Prince (Saionzio took matters in his own hands. It was. of course, understood that Mr. Hara would be the overshadowing factor In the determination of Japanese policy and that all matters wore to be referred to him for decision. It remains to be seen what the loss of his influence will mean to the negotiations. JAPANESE OFFICIALS HOED CONFERENCE. The Japanese official community In I Washington was horrified on being advised of the assassination. Official comment was not forthcoming until after Baron Kijuro Shldehara, the ambassador tc the United States, and one of the chief delegates from Japan to the conference, called a meeting of the delegation. It was held at the embassy. Decision was reported to proceed in a most orderly manner. There Is to be no confusion in procedure, no halting of the progress toward full participation by Japan in the conference. It was not expected that a political upheaval would follow the taking away of the great liberal leader. The opposition party—the Kanseikai—la held to lack suffl dent strength in the Diet to block continuance of the control by Mr. Hara's party—the Seiyukai. In any event no change in the personnel of the chief delegates to the conference was anticipated. Prince Tekugawa, president of the House of Peers, has declined repeatedly to reenter politics. He Is an Independent with leanings toward the Hara policies. He was quoted as having said he would decline the premiership even if It were offered to him. Baron Tomtsoburo Kato, the minister of marine, and a dominant figure In the forthcoming conference, holds the highest court rank of any member of the Hara ministry. As 6uch he would be expected io succeed to the role of prime minister. In his absence from Japan, the probable Successor would be Korelklyo Takahashi. the minister of finance, who is described as a man of undoubted vitality for the present crisis. He is a recent convert to the Seiyukai party. SAIOXEI MAY BE CHOSEN LEADER. Discussions as to the man most likely to be called by the Emperor to form a new Cabinet resolved itself around a ■mall group of leaders, bnt the best advised sentiment pinned the chote* on Prince Salonsl, the only man in all Japan who could be counted a greater leader in the Seiyukai party than Mr. Hara, the first commoner to attain the premiership. It was stated that Prince Saionzi probably could go far toward conciliating tbe military and civil elements in Japanese politics. He was prime minister twice before. He never suffered a political defeat. No man has arisen with sufficient strength to challenge his leadership. His selection would mean a strengthening of the policies which Mr.*Hara sought to (Airy into effect at the conference for the strengthening of permanent tics of friendship between America and Japan,

according to bis friend* now in Washington. Prince Saionzi was chairman rs the Japanese delegation at the Paris conference. Reports to the effect that Baron Kato might be recalled to Tokio were not verified at the Japanese Embassy. It was said there was no possibility of aiy tut some of the political appointed among the advisers being called home. Baron Kato enjoys the enviable position of having been selected Minister of Marine when the opposition party was in power under the leadership of Marqnig Okitma. On learning of Mr. Hara's death, President Harding said he was “urofon Daily sorry” and that he ‘regretted more than I can say this unhappy and discordant note Just on the eve of the conference.” Secretary of State Hughes called in person on Baron Shldehara to express the regret of the American Governmant. Later he sent a cable to Ambassador Warren Instructing him to call on the Foreign Minister to Inform him of Mr. Hughes' distress to learn of the Premler’a assassination. —Copyright, 1921, bv Public Ledger Company.

Each of the foreign delegates is bringing its own staff of guards, but the j American secret service is cooperating because of its intimate knowledge of possible sources of trouble. HARA CABINET QUITS; SAIONJI MAY LEAD JAPS (Continued Frm Page One.) the dead Premier Hara was a member j seemed probable to day. Despite the customary resignation ol the cabinet, on account of the death ot its active head, announcement that Count Uchida would continue In office, after the cabinet's resignation as temporary •ffremier, indicated continued strength ol the Seivu Kai party. Uchida is a leader in that party. Formal appointment of the new premier will be made by the emperor. Resignation of the atmbtr of the Hara cabinet were sent to the Emperor. Baron Xobuskio Makino was added to the list of those prominently considered as possible permanent successor to Hara. He has served as foreign minister and was a member of the Japanese delegation to the Versailles Peace Conference In 1818-1919. JAPAN'S POLICY NOT TO BE CHANGED. Official circles are exceedingly unsettled as a result of the sudden removal of the Government's active head. “Japan's foreign and national policies cannot be changed.” Count Uchida declared In a statement—the first he has made since becoming premier pro tem. Leaders of all 'actions In Japanese politics, have however, expressed fear of a serious internal political crisis. They insist, however, that it will be only domestic and will not affect fundamental policies at home or abroad. Prince Yamagata and other leaders 1 were reperted hurrying to Tokio for a conference. J The Japanese press was unanimous in | its declaration that the nation has suf- ! sered an irreparable loss in the death Sos Premier Hara. Although Count Uchida has been named ! temporary premier, it wae believed that a permament premier would soon bo named. -It was believed here that Marquis Kimmochl Saionji, former premier and leader of the Selyakal party was j the most probable choice as Hara’s per- ! manent successor. SAIONJI THREE TIMES I TEMPORARY PREMIER. | Marquis Saionji, on three different oc- ; caslons when ministers have fallen has j occupied the position of temporary premier. Baron Shimpei Goto, former minister of foreign affairs and long prominent in Japanese politics, was considered as second choice. It was generally admitted that there j was increasing uncertainty as to whether ; the Seiyakai party, of which Hara was a i member, would be able to maintain conI trol of the government, j The whole country has been cast Into i gloom by the sudden killing of Premier i Hara. The Korean youth who stabbed t the premier to death is being in close i confinement and has been questioned at ; length to determine whether he acted ! on his own responsibility. I “I did this for the welfare of Japan,” i was the declaration today of Nakaoka, j Japanese, arrested as the assassin of Prej mier Hara of Japan. j “I killed Hara because of the criticism of him wh’ch I read in tbe news- ! papers, - ’ he said in the Jail here. I Nakaoka maintained a bold, proud de- | meanor and showed no sign of repentance i for what he had done. : He declared he had no regret whatever j and regarded himself as a martyr and a | benefactor of Japan, j Nakaoka is of the type of poor student ; often seen in Japan. He is of good fam- | lly, but was forced to leave school to ! earn a living. He was known as an I omniverous reader and had soaked in the | criticise published in the papers bitterly | opposed to the premier, j Although he is certain to hang, he was frankly exceedingly proud of his deed. | The public was inclined not to blame the assassin as much as it did the bitter political criticism which influenced him. Throughout Japan were evidences of the extreme sorrow caused by the death of the premier. Everywhere expressions or regret and sympathy for the dead premier were heard. The will, of Premier Hara, which has been made public, directed that a small plain slab bearing only his name, be the only mark of his final retting place. It forbids explicitly the uientioa on his tomb of any of the honors and titles which be held or of his accompilahuients. Hara had a premonition that he wachl be assassinated, it was learned today. He told friends recently that he suns s violent death at tbe hands of sous assailant. The funeral of the dead Premier will be held Nor. 11 at Mortoka, his birthplace, in the northeastern part of Japan. Tb* body will leave Toil*, Key. 1, on ±

By no word or act of his did he attempt to call the attention of his comrades to anything he had done himself. One day he walked into my office and said: ‘Captain I have to go to Chaumont.’ ‘All right, lieutenant,’ I said. ‘How long will you he gone?’ ‘Three or four days,’ he said. “He went to Chaumont and came back again. A week or ten days after Uls reurn to camp, I happened to see General Jrder 16, which cited the lieutenant in the way you have just heard, aud then learned for the fl"t time Lieutenant Woodfill had been ordered to Chaumont to receive the Congressional medal, the highest American decoration. KEPT STILL AS MOUSE. Up to that time no member of the camp had known why Lieutenant Woodfill was called to Chaumont. So I said to the lieutenant, not letting him know I had seen the general order: ‘Lieutenant, have you seen any action is this war?’ He saidC ‘Yes.’ I said: ‘Have you killed anybody?’ ‘Yeg,‘ he answered. “How many have you killed?” I asked. “‘I oniy know of nineteen,’ he said. “How long were you in action?” I asked. “His answer was, ‘About two hours.’ “And really, gentlemen, the way the lieutentut said that to me led me to believe that he felt that he really should : have done better than that.”—Copyright, 1 1921, by Public ledger Company.

REDS PROPOSE i TO WRECK WORK OF ARMS PARLEY Report Says Revolutions Will Be Fomented in India, China and Korea. SOVIET LEADERS PEEVED WASHINGTON, Nov. s.—Angered by I the action of the powers In ignoring Russia and Siberia. L nin and Trotsui, with the connivance of leaders of the so-called Far Eastern republic, are planning to wreck the work .jf the Washington conference, according to advices here today, from observers in Moscow ami Vladivostok. The plan contemplates revolutions throughout Asia, with principal efforts directed toward India, China and Korea, where it is hoped communistic uprisings esn be staged of sufficient magnitude to defeat any scheme which may be evolved at the Washington conference for permanent settlement of Far Eastern problems. As the first step in this plan, Lenin has served notice upon ttie powers that Russia will not be bound by the decisions of the Washington conference. The second is the calling of a communist conference to sit either at Chita or Vladivostok simultaneously with the Washyigton parley. At this onference, it is asserted, resolutions will be introduced declaring the battlefield of the soviet .movement to embrace all Asia and urging a united cam- ! pnign to overthrow the authority and Influence of the world powers having in- , terests on that continent.

STATE BOARD OF ACCOUNTS CUTS EXPERT’S BILL Refuses to Approve Items, Claiming Work Was Under Old Contract. With the school board election only throe days in the future, the State board of accounts today took occasion to criticise Snider & Rotz, engineers employed by the present board. This time the State board refused to approve $1,093.03 in bills submitted by the engineering firm under Its new contract dated Aug. 8, 1921. The refusal, according to a letter written by Jesse E. Eschbach, chief examiner of the accounts board, to Ralph Douglass, business manager of the school board. Is because the work done was a continuation of work authorized under the old contract between the school board and the engineers which the accounts board had refused to approve.
