WASHBURN CHOSEN FOR POST IN JAPAN Diplomat Who Died in Vienna Already Selected for Far East Position. Albert H. Washburn, who recently resigned as United States Minister to Austria, and who died suddenly in Vienna last night, was to have been ap pointed by President Hoover to be American Ambassador to Japan. This was revealed at the White House today following receipt of the news of Mr. * Washburn’s, death. Formal an nouncement of Mr. Washburn's appoint ment to represent this country at Tokio was only a matter of a few days. Word already had been received from the Japanese government that this diplo matic officer would be entirely accept able. Mr. Washburn was at the White House two weeks ago, and it was then that he definitely accepted the offer to go to Japan. In the meantime, it was necessary for him to journey to his old post at Vienna to clean up some details and dispose of some personal matters preparatory to turning his office .over to Gilchrist B. Stockton, who more than a month ago was appointed by President Hoover to be the American representa tive in Vienna. Mr. Washburn was to have returned to the United States in two or three weeks to go directly to Tokio. It was with much regret that Mr. Hoover today learned of the death of this diplomat, whose services to his Government he so greatly appreciated, j There was no indication at the White House that the President has in mind any one else at the present time to name in Mr. Washburn's stead. AUSTRIA MOURNS WASHBURN. Press and Officials Express Regret at Diplomat's Passing. BY A. R. DECKER. By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1930. VIENNA, Austria, April 3.—Mourn ing the loss of a diplomat who gave invaluable assistance to the young re public, all the Vienna newspapers from the tabloid Kronen Zeitung to the Neue Freie Press unite in paying tri bute to American Minister Albert H. Washburn, who died here yesterday, whil«e Chancellor Johann Schober de clares: “In Minister Washburn, Austria has lost an especially w’arm friend, who, with all his heart, worked for Austria. He was in the deepest sympathy with Austrian conditions and was pleased by the Austrian successes at the recent Hague reparations conference. Per sonally, as well as in my capacity as chancellor, I can only say that I mourn for him.” Calls Washburn Friend. Foreign President Michael Hainisch also expresses the deepest sympathy for Mrs. Washburn. The Neue Freie Press says in tribute, “Austria has lost a good friend: one who, as a jurist of political and inter national law, understood Austria's problems.” * Mr. Washburn died of erysipelas at 8:30 o'clock last night in the Rudolf Sanatorium. Ten days ago he caught an infection from a scratch, probably from a finger nail, on the thigh. Ery sipelas developed and then blood poison ing. Dr. Dehne, well known specialist for children’s diseases, attended the dip lomat, together with other dermatolo gists and surgeons. On Tuesday there seemed to be an improvement in the minister’s condi tion, but yesterday he became worse. He was hurried to the Rudolf Hospital, where a short operation was performed. A weak heart from diphtheria hastened the end. When news of his death be came known, Chancellor Schober and other officials called at the sanitorium. A native of Middleborough, Mass., where he was born in 1866, Mr. Wash bum had, a long diplomatic career. FIRST TRUST LOANS on Improved D. C.

An appreciative audience heard an Interesting organ recital played by Gene Stewart, one of Washington's younger organists, at All-Souls’ Church last night. Mr. Stewart presented a varied pro gram played with authority and bril liance. He opened the program with the “Hymn of Glory,” by Pietro Yon, which called for virtuoso qualities am ply met. Then followed, In order, Bach’s “Toccata In C," one of the least Interesting of the works of this great master; Philip James” “Meditation a Sainte Clotilde,” with Its frequent allu sion to a theme in Cesar Franck’s sym phony; the familiar “Fanfare” of Lem mens and the equally familiar “Ave Maria” of Schubert. Karg-Elert’s i "Legend of the Mountain” was given an interesting reading. The “Air de I Louis XIII” can be passed by with the s comment that It might better have been i replaced by something else. The same ; cannot be said, however, of the next number. Mr. Stewart’s own nocturne. This piece, of a somewhat Mendels sohnlan character, has a lovely princi pal theme, the whole well harmonized and calling for effective use of the chimes toward the end. The program closed with the finale from the “First Organ Symphony,” by Louis Vleme, but, due to Insistent applause, Ketelby’s “In a Monastery Carden” was given as an encore. R. W. S.
