No CapitaIin Europe Has News
Of Shah'S Assassination
REPORTED LAST NIGHT
1t Is Possible, However, That the Per-
sian Government Might Wish to
withhold the Information as
Long as Possible.

London, Feb. l5,--Contirmation is still
lacking Of the reports that Mahomet An
Mira, shah Of Persia, has been assas-
sinated Communication with the Teh-
eran is always unreliable, and it is quite
likely that the Persian government might
wish to delay the circulation Of such
news as long as possible. Few, however,
accept the rumor as true. AT no capital
in Europe have dispatches concerning
the rumored tragedy been received, and
officials at various foreign offices say
that their diplomatic representatives at
the Persian capital would surely have
reported such an occurrence before this
time
The report apparently originated in
Vienna, although there was no contir-
nation OF It.
The shah Of Persia is not vet 3S years
Of age and acceded to the throne on Jan
uary 0, 1907 The year OF his reign
up to now has been one OF constant tur-
MOL, matters having come to head
about two months ago, when AIahomet
dismissed his ministers and declared that
he was going to run his government TO
suit himself Through outside influence,
the ministers were then restored, and
working understanding developed be-
tween the shah and parliament.
