of the memberi held this morning,
Th resignation of the cabinet,
whirh came ai a direct result of the
assassination of Premier Hara yes

Hinlnmatic or domestic, especially to
ward the Washington conference on

"The delegates will put forth their
best efforts tor tne aite 01 worm

tions already laid down in the name
of the government, ne sam.
Viscount Uchida will take up the
affairs of the ministry of marine, to
which Premier Hara had been giv
ing attention after the departure of
Admiral Kato, the head of that min-
istry, for the Washington conterence.
Tokio, Nov. 5. (By The Asso
ciated Press.) The Japanese minis
try, deprived of its head through the
knife of an assassin yesterday when
Premier Hara was stabbed to death
by a demented youth, was continuing
to function today under Viscount
Uchida, the foreign minister, to
whose designation as acting premier
the imperial approval was given at
the palace shortly after the tragedy.
Within an hour of the assassina
tion of the premier, the cabinet met
In extraordinary session, Viscount
Ucbida presiding. Immediately upon
the conclusion of the cabinet session,
Viscount Uchida, accompanied by
Minister of the Interior Tokomani,
went to the palace and secured the
imperial approval of the designation
of the viscount as temporary premier,
which had been decided upon at the
cabinet session.
Political Fanatic.
Scant information was available at
first regarding the identity of the
youth at whose hands Premier Hara
fell,, but it became known today
that the assassin was the son of a
former member of the Samurai, or
soldier class constituting the lower
nobility under the Japanese feudal
s; stem, who had been a man of im
portance during the restoration per
iod. The son, it appears, was of an
erratic nature and is regarded as a
political fanatic. He was arrested
immediately after the stabbing. De
tective Tsunajima, who was escort
ing Premier Hara was badly cut on
the arm and hands in disarming the
assassin.
Premier Hara, it develops from
details of Friday's tragic events that
have come out, never spoke after the
first onset of the assassin. The pre
mier arrived at the station where
he was to take a train for Kioto 10
minutes before the train was due to
leave and the station master in-1
vited premier and his party to rest
in the station office for a moment.
Between this office and the gate
through which passengers reach the
platforms is the station blackboard,
and it was behind this blackboard
that the assassin was lurking, as the
premier emerged from the office and
approached the gate.
Darting out from behind his shel
ter the youth came immediately into
contact with his victim and thrust
his knife into the premier's breast,
close to the heart.
.The- premier collapsed Instantly,
falling to the floor without a sound.
Friends carried him to the station
master's office and a physician who
was a member of the party gave him
immediate medical attention.
The premier, however, could not
oe revived, and died within an hour
without regaining consciousness. His
wife, who had been summoned di
rectly after the attack, reached the
station too late to see him alive.
. Body Removed.
Shortly afterward the body was re
moved to his home, around which
for blocks bonfires and lanterns
lighted the streets, while officials and
friends streamed to the residence to
offer condolences.
During the evening an emissary
from the imperial household brought
word to the home that the late pre-i
mier had been, raised to the first j
grade of the second rank of the im
perial court
It: seems generally assumed that
the designation of Viscount Uchida
as premier was only a temporary ex
pedient in the emergency. In any
event there seems little doubt that the
cabinet will be reconstructed within
a few days.
New Premier.
Considerable speculation as to the
probable new( premier is voiced in
today's Tokio newspapers. The
probabilities, according to the news
paper views, appeared to point to
Baron Kenjiro Den, governor gen
eral of Formosa, as the selection
for the premiership.
Ifeanwhile the elder statesmen
are likely to hold a conference
shortly to consider the policy to be
pursued as a result of the tragedy,
the Aashi Shimbun says today. It
is known that Marquis Saionji is on
his way to Tokio from Kioto, pos
sibly in this connection.
Washington, Nov. S. The- Amer
ican embassy in Tokio in a cable
. tram dated 11 a. m. Saturday and
received by the State department
today said that the Japanese cab
inet planned to meet Saturday and
that Baron Uchida would succeed
th. late Premier Hara, at least
temporarily.
The assassination of Premier
Hara, the dispatch said, caused
nothing approximating disorders or
disturbances in the Japanese cap
ita!. Admiral Baron Kato. one of the
Japanese delegates to the armament
conference, acting in accord with
other members of the Hara cabinet,
today cabled his resignation as min
ister of marine to Tokio. The resig
nation of the cabinet, it was ex
plained by Japanese here, was
wholi' a matter of form and without
significance. - -

Elsie Allan.
"Flying's wonderful: it's an art.
But wing walking is just a trick."
Thus did Miss Llsie Allan ot
Grand Island sum up her profession
at North Omaha field during the
Aero congress Friday afternoon.
"I took up wing walking just to
see if I could do it," continued Miss
Allan. "When I found I could climb
out on a wing of the plane, lift my
self from the lower wing to the up
per one, crawl out on the tail of the
ship while the pilot was doing stunts
in the air, I was satisfied.
Doing that s just tricks. I want
to quit it. But flying a ship, well,
that's different."
Walker on Each Wing.
"Oh, look!" Miss Allan interrupted
herself by pointing skyward. "That's
Pat McCarty doing stunts on the
wings while J. Hodgens Smith pi
lots the ship. Why,' it's our good old
about down. Oh, a perfect landing 1"
Watch rat. He s going out on
the wing now. Mr. Smith has flown
that ship with Pat on one wing and Z
me on the other. He's done stunts
when we were that way, too.
"Look! Pat's going to crank the
engine in the air. Mr. Smith will ?
shut it off: Fat will climb ud and 2
turn the propellor over. It's tak- j.
uig chances, but rat never misses.
Cranks Motor in Air.
"The last time he did it I was
along. Everything was so quiet
when the motor was shut off. Pat
took hold of the propellor and said,
'Contact.
"Either Mr. Smith or I said 'ex
tract,' which meant nothing and was
just silly. But we all laughed about
it up there so that we were almost
down before Pat whirled the pro-
Dellor.
"Look! Pat's going to ride it
down on the tail. That makes it
hard for the pilot to land, but they'll
do it all right. Look, they're just
about down. Oh, a perfect landing!
Miss Allan clapped her hands for
sheer joy.
Mrs. Obenchain Unable
To Answer Questions
Before Grand Jury
Los Angeles, Nov. 5. Mrs. Mada-
lynne Obenchain got the opportunity
she had sought to appear before a
srrand jury and be heard, but was
unable to utilize it because of a physi
cal collaose. The same collapse caus
ed postponement of the case where
in she was charged with murder in
connection with the death of J. Bel
ton Kennedy when it came up in
court today.
Thursday Mrs. Obenchain wrote
to the foreman of the grand jury ask
ing an opportunity to be heard, in
case it took any further action re
garding her. As a result of the re
quest a summons was sent to the
jail for her yesterday
Mrs. Obenchain collapsed soon aft
er the summons arrived and was
weeDincr when she was taken into
the jury room. She proved unable
to answer any questions there and
soon was excused.
Physicians who examined her told
the court she would be unable to
stand the strain of appearing yes
terday and the motion of her attor
neys for dismissal of the charge
against her, which was to have been
argued yesterday, Was continued
until next Monday.

When the United States entered the "Great Struggle
for the preservation of her ideals there was among her citi
zens a certain Dickran Kalbian, known to many Omahans
as an Armenian Rug Connoisseur.
Eager to serve his country and wishing to fight in the
Near East, Dickran joined the legion d'orient, but like many
other wartime plans, events took him to France, and kept
him there until the end of the war, and it was not until
1920 that he reached Constantinople. In this city he found
thousands of disbanded soldiers of all nations and tens of
thousands of refugees from Russia and Anatolia and Syria.
The struggle for a bare subsistence was the common lot of
all; high ranking officers of Wrangel's Army rubbed should
ers with Ethiopians in the daily struggle for any job from
dish washing to cleaning shoes, that would provide a meal
and shelter but for Dickran a hopeful prospect loomed.
Did not the American Dollar look like a cart wheel,
were not fine Oriental Rugs being offered for a mere song?
Certainly they were and Dickran Kalbian became in doe
court Orchard & Wilhelm's buyer in the Near East.

' able to announce a
