Ito's Policy in Manchnria.
(By Cable to. The Times)
Tokio, Oct. 27--The body of
Prince Ito, "the Japanese Bismark",
who fell before a Korean 'assinator
'at Harbin, will be honored in Japan
with almost royal rites and mourn
ing ceremonies more impressive than
have ever marked the funeral of any i
man below the. rank of mikado. The
Iwate, one of the finest ships of the
Japanese navy, will bring the body
from Manchuria to Yokohoma.
v Messages of condolence from the
nations of the world, including the
United States, arrived today. In
many of them was noted a tone of
genuine .mourning that was appre
ciable evn through the staid diplo-
'The- ikadoJis grief-sfrlcken over
the Harbin tragedy. For years Prince
Ito has been closer, to Japan's ruler
than any of the emperor's other ad
visers. Ito, indeed, was known as the
"elder brother of the emperor," and
between the two cordial personal re
lations, such aVgeldom mark the re
lations of rulers and their aids, were
always apparent. . :
A report was received today that
Ito's assassin had already -been exe
cuted at Harbin, but that his compan
ions were still held, t
The three companions of the prince
who were also Injured when he was
shot, M. Mori, , the prince's private
secretary; .Japanese Consul-general
Kawnkan. and M. Tanaka, head of the
South Manchurian Railroad, are to
day in a serjous condition, having
been more badly hurt than was at
first believed. The physicians attend
ing theinl however, gave out hopes of
their recovery. "...
The extraordinary council of the
ministry, summoned by the emperor
immediately upon receipt of the news
of Prince Ito's assassination, was in
session for several hours. : , y
Although no statement of whatever
decision was reached by .the ministry
was given out when the meeting dis
banded, Jt upeTJeved that Ito's con
dilatory policy will continue and
quick punishment will be inflicted by
the Japanese authorities upon the
Korean, rebels who are fighting
against the domination of Nippon in
their country. 'V ,"' vyv
The train that bore Ito's body from
Harbin toward the sea-front met with
honors all alon' the .line. At every
statioh 'a military guard was, drawn
up, and Russians' and Chinese joined
with the compatriots of the slain
prince in paying tribute to him. . At
Mukden as well as' less - important
places the Russian diplomatic agents
met the train. , i

JEFFRIES HAPPY

OVER OPERATION
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
New York, Oct. 27 James J. Jeff
ries is happy today over the result of
the operation oh his nose late yester
day. . .
"This is the first good breath of
air I have had in six years," he said,
as he walked out ef the Hotel Albany
and drank in all the autumn ozone
his mighty lungs could, hold.
"Bob Fltzsimmons pounded me so
hard on the bridge of my nose in our
first fight at Coney Island,' went on
Jim, "that I have never been able to
breath properly since. I never knew
what the matter was until yesterday.
I thought all along that the bridge of
the nose had been shattered and the
bone grown off at a tangent som'e
way. The doctor took a peek, and,
much to my surprise, told me that it
was. a 'fleshy growth in both of my
nostrils that was keeping the good
air out of my lungs."
And then Sam Berger dipped in an
oar. "The doctor insisted on.Jejf
taking opiates, but the big fellow
grunted and said he thought perhaps
he might be able, to stand a little
thing like scratching his nose. The
doctor, told him that it wasn't merely
a matter of cutting, but the obstruc
tion would have, to be removed by a
burning process. - f v ; v
"It took the doctor and me a half
hour of earnest conversation to get
Jeff to rub a little Cocaine on the in
side of his rioso. That's as close to
a knock-out as he .ever came, and he
told the doctor so. . , He Sat back in
the chair ; while .that -medical chap
fairly fried the inside of his nose, and
Jeff didn't - as much as unclasp his
hands. I never saw such. grit. It
looked like the days of Pompeii, for
his old nose was smoking like those
good old fire hills. ' Ho will have the
left side burned out today:"

him that Scharserlin's photograph

ner finished he admitted that he was
Scharserlin and that the had married
not only Anna Luther but also Lena
Wessnes, the woman now known as
Mrs. Gebhardts of Astoria, Anna Link

The records show that Gebhardt

been learned, to return to the United
