SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
TEHERAN, Dec. z2.-The Russisr
minister and the British charge daf.
faires had an audience with the shah
this morning during which his majesty
gave the most solemn assurances tc
both representatives that he would
support the constitution until the sur
sets. This means that he has yielded
finally in the struggle between the
parliament and himself.
Though the weather was very cold
the constitutionalists awaited the
shah's answer to the representatives of
the powers in the gardens of the as
sen1bly building, where Seized Memed
addressed the people He said:
The shah has been notified OF the
terms we demand, and as the weather
is very cold, go back TO the mosque.
I will bring you any good news"
AS soon as the shah's promise to the
Russian and British officials was COM
municated to the constitutionalists calm
was restored. Afterward the shah
signed and sealed a declaration on the
koran. accepting the demands of the
constitutionalists. which include the
punishment of the leaders in the riots
and the dissolution OF the court clique.
This declaration he sent to the as
sembly as mark. of his decision to
adhere TO the constitution.
For the past week there have been
many disturbances in Teheran and
other Persian cities. the lack of CO.
operation between the shah and parlia-

ment Of a manifesto Tuesday which
was distributed to the foreign lega-
tions and consulates at Teheran, in
which ii was set forth that the shah
was violating his covenant with the
people and asking that the rights of
the Persian people be not permitted
to be trodden under foot,
Prior to this the shah had caused
the arrest OF the premier and several
OF the cabinet ministers, who later
were released at the request OF the
British minister. The parliament then
went into permanent session and de-
manded an explanation of the shah,
negotiations looking to a better un-
derstanding being carried on until to-
day
The immediate causes of the Persian
crisis are to be found in the indigna-
