TOKIO, Sept. 6. MortlarO Abe. director
of tho political bureau ot tho Japaneso
foreign offlco, died today, tho victim ot
unknown assassins. Ills ossallantJ, who
are believed to Uavo been students,
lay In wait for him In front of his
houso on Thursday evening, while ho
was at tho raUwoy station to meet P.
ljuin, minister to China, who had Just
been recalled from Peking. Director Abo
was attacked by two young men, who ran
out of an alloy toward him. Ono seized
him by the ahoulders. while tho other
plungod a Bhort sword Into his abdomen
twice. Tho assassins escaped In the dark
ocas. It was not thought at first that the
director's wounds would prove fatal for
they were promptly dressed after some
passers-by had carried him to his homo.
Excitement Is intense hero, following
tho reports ot massacre ot Japanese and
the Insult to the Japanese flog at Nank
Ing, and there Is much Irresponsible
clamor for drastic action against China,
similar to the recent clamor against
America.
Hunt fur Motive.
The mottvo in the assassination of
Director Abo may have originated in
rosentlment of tho policy of the foreign
offlco In either or both ot theso matters.
The foreign offlco officials In both cases
bavo steadily adhered to a policy of calm
ness. The student element, at whose door the
assassination Is laid has been laid, has
been Increasingly active lh politics. Re
cently three students tried to see Baron
Maklno, minister of foreign relations, and
submit to him a solution of the Cali
fornia land question. The sensational
press has been attacking- the foreign
offlco on both tho California and Chlneso
policies.
Another, theory Is that Director Abo
was' mistaken by hi a assailants for Dr.
Sun Tat' Ben, the Chinese revolutionary
leader, whom he greatly resembled. Itwaa
reported a month ago, soon altar Dr,
Sun Vat Sen's flight from China, that
lbd assassins bad been sent, by tho
Chinese government to kill Dr. Bun, Gen
crnl Huong Sing and other Chinese revo
lutionary fugitives.
According to the Tal-Hei-Yo News
agency, the conspirators Intended also
to 1:111 Premier Ynmamoto and the min
ister of foreign affairs. Baron Maklno.

dicate thnt Fremont will have the largest

corned, nnd they will be entertained in
royal manner. Tho city has put on Its
holiday attire.
The principal streets ot the city arc
de orated with lines of streamers being
arranged in groups which show white,
yellow, red, green and bluo colors.
Standing at the station and looking up
Mnln street the view Is beautiful and
entertaining. The effoct at night, when
the rocontly installed systom of electro
lier street lamps Is in full glow, is beau
tiful and bewildering beyond descrlptioa
Even the side streets have received thelt
share ot decoration.
The boautlful residences for which
Fremont is famous aro decorated, and at
night will shine with a soft glow of
Chinese lanterns.
City United tn Preparation.
One thing that strikes tho observer
with particular force Is the spontaneity
and the nnamlty of the entire city in
giving Itself up to the entertainment of
visitors. Ordinarily, on occasions like
this, the matter is left entirely in the
hands of committees, and the acqui
escence of the citizens in tho demands
of tho committee Is perfunctory. But at
Fremont there la none of this perfunctory
acceptance of suggestion. There Is a
unamlty of enthusiasm such as is rarely
seen. Every visitor at Fremont may bo
sure of a glad hand from any citizen, be
cause they are all interested and arede
termlned to make tho stay of the visitors
as pleasant as possible. The arrange
ments for the publlo entertainment of
visitors are completed. In a large tent
opposite the new Agricultural haU will
be held the exhibit of the Fremont Ken
nel, show, which wll be open to all vis
itors. Tho Agricultural hafl occupies
two blocks ot on entire street which has
been set aside for the purpoBq, and It is
estimated that at the time for opening
the fair it will be filled to repletion..
Some implement men, thinking there
might be space to spare, asked for a
part Of it for a dlSDlav of lmnlnmnnta
and were told that all room would be
needed and would be occupied.
Parade Bach Bar
The musio for tho entire week -will
be faralahed by BtocUfeldt'o Junior band.
This band will give freo muslo every
day, and will keep the air filled with
strains of popular music The Edmond's
Carnival company which 'comprises four
teen separate shows, is located Just oft
Main street near the depot and will fur
nish continuous entertainment through
out the day, and at night .when the exer
cises of the dav ftris cin will Ir.on
visitors from weariness. Every day thero
win do a Dig poroae nt 1:30 in the after
noon beginning Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock when the entire list of tractors
that are entered for exhibition will tako
part In a tractor parade. In tho after
noon of the same day, there will be a
firemen's tournament ritlA fan tu... nf
Kwhlch, a big water between teams of
iour, win rurnish plenty of amusement
to onlookers. On "Wednesday, thero -will
bo a, farmers' decorated vehicle parade;
on Thursday a Big 4 Industrial parade;
on Friday, a lodge and society parade;
and Saturday there will be a decorated
automobtlo parade.
Tractors Unloaded.
In addition to all these spectacles and
entertainments offered by Fremont, thnv
issue to visitors a book of privileges
which give them wolcome entrance to the
Elks' club rooms and the Eagles' club
rooms and the Country club.
The tractors for the Me demonstration
are being unloaded. Gome of them
giants, both In power and weight; others
or less power are supposed to meet the
needs of fanners operating tho small
farms. The hotels are full of tractor
men. One gathers from their conversa
tion that this tractor movement Is onlv
In its lnfanoy; that It presents many as
jot unsolved problems, which are receiv
ing careful attention and will undoubt
edly be successfully worked out In the
future, and these tractor men are ir.
changing with on eanother the Ideas upon'
the subject in which they are most deeply
Interested.
Never before has so much Interest been
excited In a single event as Is now In
evidence at Fremont The crowd there
during the coming week will be great,
and thero will be great things to see
there, great lessons to be learned, great
ideas to be absorbed, great hopes to be
fostered and fed. No one will make a
mis tako In taking advantage of the occa
sion offered to see the greatest most
practical, most beneficial exhibit of farm
power that has ever been offered.
The tractor demonstration proper be
gins Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 and con
tinues until 4:30, and this program will be
repeated every day of the entire week.

MONTREAL, Sopt (.An application
for ball will be the next move by the
lawyers for Uarry K. Thaw, who yester
day succeeded In securing from Justices
Crons and Gervats a wrot ot habeas cor
pus returnable In Montreal on Septem
ber 15, and an order preventing the im
migration officials from deporting Thaw.
Tho legal contingent from Montreal
handling Thaw's case, accompanied by
"Gentleman" Roger Thompson, the chauf
feur who drove the rescue car from Mat
teawan. returned on a special train this
morning.
While the Thaw lawyers declined to
commit themselves It la thought they will
quietly appear In the court ot king's
bench either today or Monday and make
their appeal for bail.
In legal circles here the beUef Is held
that the Thaw case is now safely
launched on its long trip to the privy
council. E. Blake Rebertson, assistant
superintendent of the Dominion Immigra
tion department who passed through
Montreal on his way home to Ottawa,
sold. "Thaw would be deported, be sure
of that"
Pressed for a statement Mr. La
Flamme of the Thaw counsel said:
"We licked Jerome, and there will bo
no deportation. Tha's enough for the
preisent"
Jerome's Case Continued.
COAT1COOK, Que., Sept 6. William
Travers Jerome, arrested In Coatlcook
yesterday on a charge of gambling, was
bitterly denounced by Justice of tho
PeacoMoCee in his court room today.
Tho gray-bearded magUtrato was very
indignant when Jerome's counsel an
nounced Uiat tho Now York lawyer could
not be present today and asked an ad
journment of the hearing ot his gambling
case.
"I want to say," cried McKee, banging
the table- with his. fist "that we intend
to persecute Mr. Jerome to the full ex
tent ot tha law. . Ha can't come hero and
play his card games .before cur children.
This may. be & suburb town,Jaut we In
tend to enforce oUr laws. Our relations
with the American bar are cordial, but
Justice must bo inetcd out-in tola case."
Tho court then suggested that Jerome's
ball be forfeited.
"That would only hit two of our citi
zens who went on it" said Mr. Hanson,,
the prosecutor. The' Justice said ho. would
let tho ball stand and put over the case
until September 11.
There was a crowd of about sixty per
sons In tho court room who stomped tholr
feet and applauded vociferously when the
Justice denounced Jerome
Jerome meantime was at Norton Mills,
Vt, whero he went yesterday by auto
mobile after being admitted to bait He
was considering the next move to be
made in the Thaw coso and for this rea
son did not deem It best to return to
Coatlcooke, where excitement ran high.
Tharr'a Case Badly Snarled,
Thaw may remain here a day or a
week. Not until September"!!, is be to
appear at Montreal before tho full king's
bench appeal side, on the writ of habeas
corpus obtained by his lawyers yesterday,
It Is optional with the Immigration au
thorities to move him at once or keep him
hero until tho lost moment
As matters stand, the case of the
fugitive slayer Is more snarled up than
at any time slnco his escape from Mat
teawan. Ordered deported for two rea
sons entering the dominion by stealth
and having been an Inmate of an Insane
asylum within five years his appeal to
the minister ot the Interior automatically
stayed proceedings.
Theln came the writ of habeas corpus
and the restraining order was Issued
prior to the time the deportation decision
was returned and It is a question whether
this does not Invalidate the findings. In
any event Thaw will have his court hear,
lng and the matter of his deportation,
thought yesterday to have been settled,
is now so complex as to make forecasts
out of the question.
Crowd Cheers Prisoner.
The arrival of the writ here last even
ing on a special train was, greeted with
wild cheering by the crowd around the
railroad station. Thaw himself thought
it was returnable tal once and had pre
pared to go to .Montreal on a special
train. For an J'out the crowd waited,
then the special whirled away, but Thow
was not on it It carried only his victor
ious lawyers, headed by J. H. Creen
shlelds and N. K. LaFlamme.
Thaw's guards said he slept well last
night In spite of .the exct!ment ot yes
terday. He retired after the Coatlcook
band had given a concert beneath his
barred windows, playing In conclusion
"God Save the King," whUe the throng
shouted "three cheers for Thaw!" Or
dinarily the band plays In the park, but
the members could not resist the chance
ot playing for Thaw before a sympathetic
populace.
British ntirnltr Offended.
Foreign lawyers, foreign sheriffs and
foreign bailiffs have hurt the dignity
ot the British courts of law in the Thaw
case," said Justice Gervals, one ot the
Judges who yesterday Issued the writ of
habeas corpus and order prohibiting the
Immigration authorities from deporting
Harry IC Thaw.
