KOREANS SEEK LIFE OF METHODIST BISHOP
FEDERAL OFFICERS ACT AS RCDY GUARD
Rev. Mr. Harris, Traveling from Orient to Baltimore,
Is Object of Plot Hatched in San Francisco

By Associated Pros.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 29. Warned that a number of Koreans in San Francisco were preparing to assassinate the Rev. Bishop Merrlman Culbert Harris upon his arrival here this morning on the Pacific Mail liner Korea from the Orient, Surveyor of the Port Woodward, accompanied by a number of other federal attaches and members of the local police force, met the steamer upon its appearance in port and placing the divine aboard the revenue cutter Golden Gate, caused his removal to Oakland.

The action of the government officials came in response to a request from Washington. As a companion of the late Durham W. Stevens, counselor to Korea, who was shot down at the ferry depot while on his way to Washington, and one who had studied conditions in Korea under the Japanese rule. Bishop Harris was warned by the American ambassador to Japan and a Japanese missionary before leaving the Orient not to make any statements on the Korean question upon his arrival at San Francisco which might be likely to arouse Korean residents of this city.

While the bishop was making his way across the Pacific on the liner Korea, a number of telegrams were received from Washington by local federal officers to the effect that a plot to murder the missionary had been formed among the Koreans of this city and the surveyor of the port was directed to take every possible means of safeguarding the divine during his stay here.

Bishop Harris, who Is on his way to attend the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church to be held In Baltimore next month, when seen on the Korea, said: "I might state that my work in Korea has been a long missionary service, and I am not affiliated with any political movement regardless of any statements to the contrary. I am friendly to both the Koreans and Japanese and am at a Joss to understand why any one should plan to harm me. I have never given utterance to any statements likely to arouse feeling against me among the Koreans."

KOREANS DENY THEY SOUGHT TO MURDER BISHOP HARRIS

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1. T. S. Ahrn, a prominent member of the local Korean colony, speaking for his fellow countrymen today, emphatically denied that there was any truth In the rumor that a plot had been formed to assassinate Bishop Harris of the Methodist Episcopal church on his arrival In this city. He says the report, which, according to a cable message appears to have originated in Honolulu, had absolutely no foundation in fact. The Koreans, Ahrn said, did not even know the bishop was coming here. They all know of his good work in Korea and greatly appreciated his efforts in behalf of their people. He had their highest respect and they deeply regretted the circulation of rumor to the contrary. Had the opportunity been afforded a delegation of Koreans would have called on Bishop Haris in order to pay their respects and express regret that he had been put to so much unnecessary annoyance.
