SHAH OF PERSIA AssAssINArED.

. Shrine and Shot.

Caught BY His Slnyer a. He Was Entering
Shrine and Shot.
LONDON, May IA dispatch from To-
heran, Persia announcing that the shah
had b,cn assassinated has been confirmed.
1t appears that no was just entering the
shrine Of Shah Abdul Azim when a Say.
yid from Norman sprang forward and
shot him, Instantly killing him. The as
sassin was arrested. Nasicr- Ed Din, the
shah Of Persia was born April "a, 1920,
and succeeded to the throne on Sept. 10,
lS4>. on the death of his father.
1t Is known that the shah was arrano-
Ing for great celebration of his acces-
sion on Mayo. At tho Persian legation
in this city tho opinion is expressed that
the murder was the deed Of fanatic, and
was not the outcome of an especially dc.
signed movement. But according TO a
dispatch which has been received here
from Teheran, via st. Petersburg. tho as.
sassin was n member of the Babi secret
society; n criminal association which has
hitherto m1de attempts upon the shah's
life with shot from a revolver.
A dispatch from Teheran to Tho Times
regarding the situation in Persia incident
upon the assassination of the shah SAYS:
Much discontSnt has existed for some
time through the dearness Of provisions,
partly caused BY the excessive issue of
copper coins. The assassin's name is
Mollah Rcza." An article in The Times
on the late shah calls to mind that at the
beginning Of his reign he put to death by
thousands the members Of the Babi,
whose crusade against the corruption OF
the public and private maners in Persia
was so popular as to become a menace to
the government

ment regarding the announcement of The

arms the Inhabitants possessed, and OF.
fered to spin out the Swaziland convention
negotiations for six months to enable
Johannesburg to prepare and then bring

most unqualified manner the statement
that he had at any time prop osed an in

pudiated the idea that he had in any way
countenanced the trouble Mt Johannes

engaging in any disturbance, and ho re-
fused to 60 to johannesburg IN view Of
the fact that trouble was brewing. He
admitted that he had made an inquiry re-

order to impress the Uitlandcrs with the
futility Of causing a disturbance which, he
pointed out to them, tho Transvaal gov

apprehensions which have Ibeen felt that
the day would be characterized by wide.

no disorder whatever except at Vienna

tlrely suspended and meetings of laborers
were held in every quarter Of the city and
were very largely attended. These meet

crowds proceeded along the Ringstrasse
to the Pratcr, where the cafes and res.
taurants were crammed full OF people.
The numbers were estimated at over 81, ,OOO
people. Notwithstanding this vast con.
course all was quiet till a dispute arose
between some Bohemian workmen and
the landlord Of the big Sweboda restau-
rnnt. Tho workmcn became infuriated
and smashed everything in the restau-
rant. A ficree fight ensued with the
mounted and foot police. Numbers OF
persons, including women and children,
were seriously wounded by sabres, and
the hand Of one person was cut Of.
Many OF the police were also badly in
jurcd, including three inspectors, by
stones, beer jugs and whatever else the
rioters could lay hold Of for use as mis-
siies. The military was summoned by
telephone and two squadrons OF lancers
with drawn sabres galiopod to the Prater,

was caused throughout the city by the
