London, June 24.-A special to The Daily Mall from Teheran says that the responsibility for the fighting lies with parliament. which took advantage of Shah's momentary weakness.

NO POWER IS VESTED
 IN NATIONAL COMMITTEE

Washington, June 23.-So far as is known here, no power is vested in the Republican National Committee to fill a vacancy on the Presidential or Vice Presidential ticket that might occur between the date of the nominating Convention and the first Tuesday in November following, when the people. by their votes. determine the status of the candidates, either by rejecting them at the polls or by conferring upon them the titles of President and Vice President-elect.
 A hasty study of the precedents shows that no emergency has arisen tn the history of the Republic such as would result from the death or retire ment of one of the candidates before election day. Of course, there can be no statutory law on the subject. be-

GAN NAaaUNAL COMMITTEE
 SELECT sHERnGAN's SUCCESSORS [

Chicago. June 23.-when apprised of the Illness of Representative sherman, the republican vice presidential non1f- nee, Harry g. New. chairman of the
 -o.a...Itsee. expressed great re- gret.
 While the friends of Mir. Sherman are taking a hopeful view of his case. the question naturally arose regarding the course of procedure in case or his demise. Mir. New was clearly of the opinion that in such an event. the na- tionai committee would have full power to name a vice presidential candidate. They are. he said. vested with power with regard to the presidential canoi- date, but said that where there was sufficient time bofe election to do so, the committee would reassemole the convention and have nomination made in the regalar way.
 While there is no precedent to guide the national committee in filling va- cancy, there seems to be no doubt that the committee has auth ortty to name a candidate for vice president in the event of the death of Mir. Sherman This Is the opinion of number of the republican national committeeman. 1t being stated that the representatives Of the State on the national commit tee stands in the place of state dele- gationa to the natlonaie econvention and therefore has aulnorlty to act tVt thp delegation in the event of vacancy in the national ticket.
 The view regarding action in the event of a vacancy Is held by the dem ocrats since at the St. Louis conven- tion four years ago. as Mfr. Davis, the nominee for vice president was 30 years old a resolution was passed by the convention authorizing the national Democratic committee to fill the vacan- cy in case of necessity, While every one hopes that there will be no occas- ion to select another candidate for vice president by the republicans, there Is no doubt that the national committee has authority to All e vacancy in an emergency.

BLOODY FIGHT
 AT TEHERAN Parliament Buildings in
 Runs. CASUALTIES ARE LARGE Members of Parliament Throw Bombs at Cossacks. Large Number of Leading National- ssts, Including Priest. ana Mem bers os Parliament Have
 Been Arrested.

Teheran, June 23--After a bloody light which was waged around the Par-' lament building today. the city was comparatively quiet tonight. although the cossacks were camped in the streets and squares.
 Cossacks and soldiers early in the, morning surrounded the Parliament and demanded that number 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 being killed. Orders were at once issued from military head quarters that the Parliament building be bon1barded. and the bombardment commenced soon after 10 o'clock. While this was in progress. bombs were thrown from the Parliament building and the Mosque building adjoining, dis abIing one of the guns and wounding the gunners.
 Eventually the halls of Parliament were cleared. but not before many per- sons were killed and wounded The bombardment continued until 3 o'clock in the afternoon when it suddenly ceased. Tn the meantime the troops pillaged the political clubs in that netghborhood and numerous residences of influential members of Parliament, in which work they were aided by the popuiace. The number of casualties is unknown but 1t will pc very large.
 The Parliament buildings are prac- ticaily in ruins. The firing was con- fined to Parliament Square. the other parts of the city being comparatively quiet. Large numbers of leading Ma tionalists. including priests and mem- bers of Parliament have been placed under arrest.
 The troops have dragged the reform ers who had taken refuge in the par- liapient building before the Shah. The
 " Victory for sAah.
 A dispatch 10 the Lolxal Anzeiger from It's special correspondent at Te- hefan. dated laet evening, says
 The disturbances ended in victory for the Ghah's party, the opposition forces being entirely dispersed. The boFn bardnnent ceased toward 2 o'clock in the afternoon and the artillery was partly withdrawn from the parliament building after that building had been cleared.
 Some footing continues in the par Iiamentary quarters. The dead have and they are lying everywhere in ex- posed places. A very large number of pefsons were wounded.
 "The artillery fired on the popula- tion at very short ranger while from roofs of the houses and the mosques the people replied with rifles and re- volvers. Tonight the Cossacks hold all the squares and streets.
 The Shah remained almost entirely alone during the fighting. only his per- sonal aides accompanying him. All the troops were engaged and they suffered losses of more than 100 dead and wounded.

Committees. but the conventions which create tn sfn, are extra -official: they nave no standing in law. Therefore. there Is nothing to prevent s commit tee from filing a vacancy on ticket that Is. no law of prohibition--but. of course. that committee would be an- < swerable to the outraged sense of the great party which 1t represented. It has been suggested in the past that the committee be authorized to Ill a va cancy in the event one of the named should decline the honor, but after all. would be a clear case of delegated pow CT and very different from such a con-. tingency as might arise through the inability of Mir. sherman to accept the nomination.
 It has been common practice in the nomination of candidates for State of fices to authorize the State committees to All vacancies as In such instances. With a large number of candidates, ft is a frequent occurrence for some nom- inee either to drop out of the race, fall i'll. or die. As the convention which nominated Taft and sherman adjourned without day. It's existence is at an end. so that 1t is stated by men who are familiar with the practices of the parties, If 1t became necessary to have Mir. Sherman's place filled by an other candidate. the National Commit tee would have to go through the same procedure Tn promulgating rules for the election of delegates and every other detail that was gone through in cre- ating the convention that has recently adjourned. All questions of contested delegates would come up again and would have to be decided without re- gard to anything that was done in the recent conventnon.
 Another point of view Is that taken by Representative James T. Lloyd of Missouri, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Committee who stated today that he had no doubt that the National Committee of both political parties have sufficient power to fill vacancy that may occur between the adjournment of the convention making the nomination and the elections.
