RIOT AMONG PERSIANa
Great Uproar Over Question Of Oath
Of Allegiance.

TEHERAN, February 4.-There was great
excitement at Saturdays sitting OF the
Assembly. The speaker demanded why the
deputies had not yet taken the oath OF
allegiance prescribed by the constitution.
Some one cried, They refuse the oath be-
cause they are traitors" This caused an
extraordinary uproar, all the deputies
speaking together. The president rang his
bell to restore order.
The grand vizier's letter, naming eight
responsible ministers, was then read. The
assembly asked whether the finance min
lister was responsible for the customs and
repeated its ultimatum that NJ Naus can
only be accepted as administrators. but
not as a minister. Saad Dowled said that
Great Britain and Ireland. with all their
dependencies. have eight ministers In the
cabinet and Persia a much smaller ma
ton. need not have more. Again there
was great confusion, which the president
was unable to quell. The sitting was there
fore adjourned to Tuesday.

ed and rules for the formation of the SEN
ate by the shah were adopted.

MARSHALL REVIEWS
FOURTH CHESS GAME

NEW YORK, February 4.-Frank j.
Marshall, challenger Of the worlds chess
championship, was the recipient OF many
congratulations when he at last broke his
series of reverses by drawing the fourth
game with DR.. Lasker on Saturday. He
believes that his form will undergo q
steady improvement from now on and that
before another week is past he may have
q victory over the champion to his credit.
Reviewing the fourth game. Marshall gave
out the following statement yesterday:
"Dr. Lasker on his eighth move selected
a line Of play in the McCutcheon variation
that had been thoroughly analysed by Mr..
McCutcheon with Harry N. Pillsbury. My
opponents twelfth move. whereby he for
feited the right to castle. was of course
forced; otherwise his kings pawn would
for me to castle on the kings side OF the
board because Of the weakness OF my
pawns there and the threatened position
of the adverse queen, and was quite pre-
pared to take chances with my king on the
other side.
LAS to Whites seventeenth move. which
Is said to have caused good deal Of dis
cussion, 1t was rather better than Kt-Q4.
for in that case I would have opened the
kings bishops file by means Of P-KB3,
exposing his king to violent onslaught.
did not resort to this line of play when
attacking the white queen on my seven
teenth move simply because I did not deem
the situation wholly ripe for it. Moreover.
the time limit was against hazardous play
Of any description. and preferred to con-
tent myself by playing for knight versus
bishop ending. wherein I thought I detect
ed slight chance to obtain the upper
hand.
Probably the most interesting stage of
the game was at move No. %. where DIR.
Lasker had the choice of recapturing my
bishop or taking my knight with his
bishop. The latter course would have In
volved some critical lines of play danger
GUS on both sides. Had the play run
thus: %. BxKt, BxP; q. P-B3. R-Q2; "a,
KR-Kt3, BxP. then %, B-Kt6, would
have won In good style for my opponen
Instead, however. %, PxB. would lead to
q draw. I understand that in the ending
I was expected to make bid for win
by playing SO. P-R4, in place Of retaking
the pawn, and thereby establishing a pass
ed pawn on the rocks file. This pawn
would have been stopped easily enough,
and in the meantime my row of kings side
pawns would have been demolished, leav-
ing me actually playing an uphill game.
AS 1 played 1t 1t left no question about
my being able to command a draw at any
stage of the ending"
The score to date is: Lasker, 3: Mar
shall, o.: drawn, l. The fifth game of the
series will be begun at the Everett House
tomorrow afternoon.

STEWARDS TO
PROBE TURF SCANDALS

NEW ORLEANS, February 4.-This week
promises to be q very busy one for the
stewards Of the Crescent City Jockey Club
They have two turf scandals which they
are asked to sit In judgment upon. One
case involves an owner, a jockey and q
bookmaker: the other duplicates a trainer
In the drug dope
On the inconsistent form Of the horse
The Englishman hinges the first case
against Jockey Lloyd. Ed Trotter, the puta-
tive owner Of the horse. and Bookmaker
Alphonse Fontelieu.
The trouble arose through the greatly i'm
proved race that The Engiishman showed
Saturday In the st. Charles Hotel stakes
when he was beaten q head by Missouri
Lad. just twenty-four hours later than his
wretched performances, when he finished
out OF the money in the race won by Ligh,
Note. q 10 to ! chance.
The Engfishmans- showing Saturday
among the best horses here. when he Just
failed to win one of the most important
fixed events OF the winter. caused such a
howl among racegoers that the officials
were forced to take cognixance of it. At q
hasty- investigation of the race, held Sat
urday night. the stewards decided to sus-
pend Jockey Lloyd pending further exami-
nation.
Owner Accuses Two Others.
This action was the result of a confer
ence with Trotter. Just what the owner
said could not be learned, but 1t is known
that he charged the responsibility Of the
horses poor showing on Friday to the
jockey.
Trotter's accusation against the jockey
was not the only one he made. He brought
Bookmaker Fontelieu into the case by say.
ing that the penciler had laid heavily
against The Englishman on Friday, when
he was the favorite for the race, but la
spite of the bad race the horse ran on
that occasion the bookmaker bet heavily on
him to win Saturday.
Trotter's action against the bookmaker
was due In great part to anger. He was
around by the insinuatiens of the layer OF
odds who sarcaStically referred to The
Euglishmans improvement of form and In
timated that Trotter was responsible for
his defeat on Friday. Trotter, KNOWING
that first hard blow Is most effective, did
not daily after his wordy war with Fonte-
lieu; but FASTENED to the stewards and land
ed his accusation first.
Most Of the racegoers do not place the r.
