A P|T|LESS MASSACRE
Women and Children Killed In
the Streets of Teheran
TROOPS ATTACK PARLIAMENT
Legislators Had Refused to Hand
Over Men Whose Arrest the Shah
Had Ordered--General Unrest
Breaks Into Open Revolt

After bloody fight which was
waged around the parliament build
ing Teheran is comparatively quiet.
CoSsackS and soldiers surrounded the
parliament and demanded that num-
Der of persons whose arrest the shah
had ordered be forthwith handed over
to them.
Parliament refused to comply with
this demand and shots were fired at the
troops, several Of the soldiers being
killed. Orders were at once issued
from military headquarters that the
parliament buildings be bombarded,
and the bombardment commenced soon
after 10 o'clock. While this was III
progress bombs were thrown from the
parliament building and the mosque ad-
joining, disabling one of the guns and
wounding the gunners
Eventually the halls of parliament
were cleared, but not before many per-
sons We're killed or wounded.
The artillery fired on the popula-
ton at very short range. while from
the roofs of the houses and the mosques
the people replied with rifles and re-
volverS.
Women and children went down be-
fore the pitiless massacre. Terror
stricken, the people sought to leave the
city, but were met on the outskirts and
driven back into the narrow streets by
halls of bullets. The artillery rained
shells down on the people and they
were slaughtered by hundreds. Many
took refuge In cellars. To drive them
out, buildings We're fired.
The number of casualties Is I'M
known, but it may be about 600 The
parliament buildings are practically in
ruins. The firing Was confined to
Parliament square, other parts of the
city being comparatively quiet Large
numbers Of leading natiOnalists, in
Guiding priests and members of parlia-
ment, have been placed under arrest
Ever since the present shah, Mo
manned All Mira, assembled the throne
in January, 1907, Persia has been in a
state of unrest, smouldering fire
which has been famed from time to
time into the flame of open revolt. The
first step in the granting of constitu-
tional government was taken by the
present shah's father an autocrat who
had been deeply impressed with the
democratic tendencies of the times.
With the election of the first parlia-
ment struggle for the mastery began
between the ruler and his legislature.
The shah was supported by the Persian
army and by the armed reactionaries,
while the great body of citizens rallied
to the defense OF parliament. One of
the chief complaints against All Mira
was the corrupt court which he main
tanned about himself, and the govern
ors Of reactionary tendency.
After a hard struggle the shah was
forced to yield. and sacrificed his ia
vorites, as it was thought A short
time since the ruler retired from the
capital to his summer estate, from
which he is now directing his forces
against parliament.

CONVICTED ON
53 COUNTS
Omitted Press Leased wire.)

ts
Chicago, Jan. 1S.-John r. Walsh.
FORMER president of the Chicago Ma.
tionaf and Home Savings banks. has
been found guilty on SO counts In
the indictments accusing him of mis-
approprating funds of the former
institution.
The jury reached a. verdict shortly
after midnight this morning. and II
was read when court opened at 10
o'clock. 1t was charged that Walsh
used savings intrusted to his care by
depositors to finance his railroads
and other enterprises.
After listening for two months to
a recital of the "frenzied finance"
methods of the banker, the Jury con-
sumed 30 hours in reaching its YER
dict. The verdict is based upon So
of the $50 counts in the indictment,
and he was found not guilty on the
remaining 81 counts.
Thus ends the final drama of an
irish lad who came to America In
1S49, and Immediately set out to
build an immense fortune and weld
power in the political world. Success
attended his efforts to become a
money king as the years rolled on,
but as a politician he never became
a great power.
The collapse of the Chicago Ma
tional, Home Savings and Equitable
banks, all controlled by Walsh, Great
ed a tremendous sensation in the
financial world in 1905. At first &c
was generally supposed that the gov
ernment would allow Walsh TO es-
cape prosecution, but opposition to
such a plan Yves so strong in certain
quarters that an invitation was
started.
National bank examiners, accord
ing to their report, discovered that
Walsh, in following a shrewd system
of juggling the funds OF his three
banks, had employed 100000 of
depositors' saving In promoting rail-
road properties and other enterprises
In which he was interested.
This discovery was OF such start
ling character that there was no pos
sible way for the banker to escape
Indictment. After the grand jury had
indicted him his attorneys sought In
vain to have all the connts. at least
the ones most damaging to their cli-
ent, quashed.
Surrounded by array OF the most
learned attorneys that his wealth
could retain. John II. Walsh went 90
trial and todays verdict Is the result
After the bank examiners showed in
black and white how the defendant
had juggled the funds OF his banks,
In violation OF the federal laws,
Walsh took the stand and made
sweeping statement, the burden OF
which was that he did all he was ac-
cused OF for the best interests OF
the institutions.
THE fight has only begun" was
the only comment the defendant
would make this morning after the
verdict was announced.

The debate was a hard-fought lin
guistic battle. and when the smoke

pine islands were rlddled with oppo-
sition and plastered together with af-
firmative argument until Il was dlfn-
cult for the judges to determine
whether or not the islands would be
valuable acquisition to Uncle Sam.
Though some OF the co-eds are re-
ported TO have been somewhat en-
barrassed when first appearing before
the audience, they soon forgot all else
but the question TO be discussed. and
surpassed even the best expectations
