DIR. Shaw Sits on Diplomats sword.
DR. Shaw arrived on the f0.14 train with
Gen. Morteza, the Persian Minister 10
the United States, who came as a special
ambassador to notify President Roosevelt
Of the accession TO the Persian throne Of
Mohammed All as Shah
DR.. Shaw did not know Of the august
company in which he was travelling. and
he was quite taken aback when the wind
blew aside the Persian Minister'S linen
duster and disclosed the gorgeous gold
braid Of the uniform beneath. Gen. Nor
tea carried his sword done up in paper
He laid the sword on the seat OF the gov
ernment automobile while he talked with
the reporters, and Or. Shaw. in his ex-
element sat down upon the weapon. The
sword was not damaged much, and the
doctors feelings did not appear TO be
wounded. The Persian Minister stopped
at the OctagOn Hotel TO brush off the
dust and exchange his straw hat for a
gold-tasseled fez.
He looked very warm indeed as he
started up the hill His stay with the
President was Of the briefest But as he
stopped on the way to the station to ex-
change the uniform for cooler wear, he
lost his train, and had to wait for two
hours in hottest oyster Bay.
Asked concerning his visit. Gen. Nor
teZa said that he had found the President
very gracious, and had expressed his
Shah's wisE for the continued prosDeritv
of Mr.. Roosevelt and his country. As TO
the Presidents reply, all that the Persian
Minister could say was: "Ah, it was more
beautiful"
