ALONG RUSSIAN FRONTIER
Government and Opponents at War In
Many Persian Cities.

Tifis, June 29.-Fighting is going
on between the followers of the shah
and the factions opposed to him at
Ardabil, Kasvin, Resht and other Per
sian cities along the Russian frontier.
The partisans of the shah ars said
to have gained the upper hand. II is
repor ed that in several cases revolu.
tiun leaders who were captured
weiss subjected to severe torture.
The shah has caused to be posted
throughout the provincial cities copies
of decree ordering the people to sur
render ther arms to the government
arsenals under pain of drastic punish
ment
According to special dispatches re-
ceived here from Teheran the shah
received several deputations, includ-
ing a group of members of parliament.
He said he had no desire to punish
parliament for the recent disorders,
the responsibility for which rested
npon those persons who had first at
tackled the troops.
Rigorous measures against the press
of Teheran have been adopted. All
printing offices in the capital are kept
closed.
The shah has sent the members Of
his family to his summer residence
outside the city, while he himself re-
mains at the military camp.
The commander of the Cossack regi-
ment has ordered that all soldiers
guilty of attempting to pillage the
houses of Europeans be tried by court
martial

THAW'S LATEST MOVE !.
His Attorney Secures Another
Writ Of Habeas Corpus
SEEKS NEW TRIAL BY JURY
Believes He Can Convince Twelve
Men of His Present Sanity and Thus
Avoid Being Returned to the Mat
teawan Asylum.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 90
Harry Thaw has obtained a new writ
of habeas corpus returnable before Su-
preme Court Justice Mills at White
Plains, when counsel for Thaw will
endeavor to secure jury trial to pass
upon his mental condition.
The writ was served on Under Sher-
iff Townsend in anticipation of Judge
Morschauser's signing an order re-
committing Thaw to Matteawan. The
writ has the effect of holding Thaw
here until the sheriff will be required
to produce him before Judge Mills at
White Plains.
The petition on which Judge Mills
granted the new writ is made by A..
Russell Peabody as attorney and next
friend of Thaw. 1t recites that Thaw
is restrained of his liberty by Sheriff
Robert w. Chanler of Dutchess coun-
ty and that he is not detained by vir-
tue of any mandate issued by a court
or Judge of the United States, nor by
final judgment or decree of COM
| petent tribunal of civil or criminal
| Jurisdiction. The petition attacks the
validity of Thaw's commitment to the
custody of the sheriff of Dutchess
county, as well as the commitment to
Matteawan after the second trial, when
| the jury rendered a verdict of acquit-
tai on account of insanity. The peti
tion holds that Thaw, after his ac
| quittal, could not be lawfully re
strained of his liberty as an insane
person without an inquisition in
lunacy, in which he would be entitled
to have the issue of his sanity deter.
mined by jury.
The anticipation by Thaw and his
| counsel that Justice Morschausel
would recommit the slayer of Stanford
| White to Matteawan proved correct
District Attorney Mack presented tC
the judge the formal order of recon-
mitment TO Matteawan, which Justice
Morschauser promptly signed.
1t would have had the effect of re
turning Thaw to MatteawaD at once
but just before the order was signed
| Under Sheriff Townsend, who has
been the custodian of Thaw ever since
the first habeas corpus proceedings
were begun, was served with the new
writ of habeas corpus, which com
mands the sheriff to produce Thaw ir
the supreme court at White Plains.

FIGHTING IN MEXICO
Forty or Fifty Men Killed Near
the American Border.
BATTLE RACES SIX HOURS

Authorities RidicuIe the Idea of a Rev
olution and Say Bandits Are Respon-
sIbe for the Attack on Govern
ment Troops.
Ell Paso, Tex, June 29-In an en-
counter between reyolutionists and
troops of the Mexican government at
the town of Las Vacos, in Coahuila,
Mex, near the border across from Del
Rio, Tex, between forty and fifty men
were killed and the commandant of
the Mexican troops was badly injured,
according to advices received here.
The story of the battle as received
here is as follows:
The quarters of the Mexican officers
and barracks were fired upon by the
attacking band and the assault cen
tered upon the federal customs house.
Forty troops were finally assembled.
In the disorder following the initial
attack upon the barracks and the dis
SoFSlJ lHttL IilS ludi VI ZIG SUI
diers were burning the revolutionists
captured about sixty horses belonging
to the Mexican cavalry.
At the customs house the troops
made a determined stand and the
fighting lasted all morning without in
PERMISSION. 1t is said that 5000 shots
were exchanged.
The revolutionists cut all telephone
and telegraph wires leading to Las
Vaoos and thus prevented the be-
sieged town from sending for rein
foroemsnts.
After heavy firing for six hours the
attacking party was repulsed and com.
munication was established out of
Las Vacos.
The sheriff of Valverde county, this
state, telegraphed Governor Campbell
OF Texas that the revolutionists had
been repulsed and that a number OF
them were fleeing to the United
States.

Athletes Sail for Europe.

New York, June 29-When the
steamer Philadelphia sailed for Eu-
rope it carried practically all of the
American team of athletes who are to
compete in the Olympic games at
London. In many quarters 1t is re-
garded as the strongest and most rep
resentative body of athletes ever sent
from America to compete with Eu-
ropes pick. Thousands of enthusiasts
crowded the pier long before the
steamer was scheduled to sail and
several brass bands snliyened the oc-
oasfon.

Des Moines, June 29.--It now seems
certain that there will be no regularly

Prouty may go on the ballot as inde-

DIME NOVELS AND BOYS.

The American Library association
at a recent meeting in Minneapolis
were surprised to hear a defense OF
the dime novel by G. L. Pearson, IL
brarian of the war department. Mr.
Pearson said:
Dime novels are cheap and often
dull, and not wanted in libraries but
the amount of horror they cause wor-
thy people is absurd and is frequently
founded upon complete ignorance OF
the contents. They have often been
made a scapegoat when the real
cause of the boys misdoings lies deep
err Boys want stories almost blood
thirsty and must be satisfied"
Whether it is a good thing to satisfy
this demand of the boys for blood
thirsty literature is debatable ques
ton, but Mr.. Pearson in undoubtedly
right when he says that the dangers
of dime novel have been greatly ex
aggerated. There are few men who
have not as boys read their share Of
the Nick Carriers and Deadwood Dicks
and they seem to have survived theil
early literary experiences.
