100 YEARS AGO
An official dispatch received from Harbin says that Prince Ito (the Resident-General of Korea and four-time former prime minister of Japan), was shot at several times by some Koreans, just as His Excellency landed at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning.
A later dispatch received at the Mitsui Bussan Kaisha yesterday states that Prince Ito was shot at by a Korean at Harbin station that morning at 11. His Excellency died on the spot. Mr. Kawakami, Consul-General, and Mr. Tanaka, Director of the South Manchuria Railway Co., sustained light injuries. The ruffian was arrested on the spot.
