SHAH GIVES FREE HAND TO
COMMANDER OF CoSsACKs

LONDON, June 27.-The Times Te-
heran correspondent says that the
shah's proclamation declares Persia to
have been under marital law from June
%, and 1t gives Gen. Likhoff, COM
mander of the Cossacks, q free hand to
deal severely with the people.
The assembling of the people and the
carrying of arms are prohibited on
pain of death.
Several members of the assembly are
in chains in the royal camp. Others
are scattered and their whereabouts
are unknown.
The number of prisoners in the camp
is increasing hourly. Those detained
are being subjected to the worst of or
deals.
Messages from the provinces are be-
ing censored, thus severing the prov
inces from communication with the
capital.
1t is difficult to pass judgment as
yet, the Times correspondent adds, but
undoubtedly the popular feeling is that
what Is regarded here as the inactiv-
ity OF Great Britain and the activity
of, Russia probably win restore the
shah's autocracy.
The correspondent also says that II
is reported from Tabriz that the gov
ernor of that city has taken refuge
In the Russian consulate here.

STABBED AFTER
ROW IN SALOON
QUARREL OVER POOL GAME
HAS TRAGIC END
Well Known Character at North End
of Town Responsible and Is
Being Eagerly Sought
by the Police

Frank Jacobelis, an italian freight
handler employed by the Southern Pa
cific company and livino at S02 Buena
Vista street, was stabbed in the neck
last night by a man said to be John
Silver, better known as "the Bum," at
Buena Vista and Ord streets. The
wound inflicted Is a fatal one, and the
death of the wounded man only a
question of a few hours.
The stabbing was the elimination of
quarrel over a pool game in which
Jacobelis, Silver and two other men en-
gagged in the saloon where the tragedy
took place.
Silver lost the game, and, it seems,
had no money to raw for it. To explain
his failure to pay he accused Jacobelis
of cheating, and quarrel followed.
The latter threw billiard cue at Silver
and was bombarded with pool balls.
The men were separated and Jacobelis
paid for the game, after which both of
the men were elected.
On the sidewalk they continued their
quarrel and suddenly Silver drew a
long bladed knife from his pocket and
struck at Jacobelis
The blade entered the neck on the
right side, just below the chin, and
made a gaping wound which ranged
downward, SeVering the outer Jugular
vein and the right carotid artery within
two inches of the valves of the heart.
Jacobelis was removed to the receiv-
ing hospital within ten minutes after he
received his wound, but he had lost
such a quantity of blood that the sur
geons at the hospital at once pro-
nounced his injury fatal.
While on the operating table the
bleeding, which had been checked by
the clotting of blood In the wound.
broke out afresh, and within few
moments he lost nearly a quart more
before a pack and compress could be
placed on the wound.
Normal salt solution and heart slim
ulants were used, and the upper and
lower limbs tightly bandaged to pre-
vent the flow OF blood into the extrem--
tiles, but the surgeons could hold out
no hope for his recovery. and within
a half hour after his reception at the
hospital the last rites of the church
were administered at the request OF his
family.
The police obtained the name and de-
scription of Silver from witnesses to the
ARRAY, but they were unable to find any
trace of him.

STEAMER WILL BE SENT TO
ASSIST INBOUND OHIO

SEATTLE, WASH, June 26.-Early
tomorrow morning the steamer Cor
win, or some other available vessei at
Nome, will be dispatched to the as
sistance of the steamer Ohio. which Is
reported 150 miles from Nome, and,
owing to ice ahead, unable to reach
port.
The steamer Transit brought word
of the Ohio to Nome, and Capt. Con-
rad sent word by the Transit that his
ship was safe and all well aboard.
The fact that the Ohio is steel
shin prevents her proceeding against
the ice as wooden ship would. For
this reason 1t was thought advisable to
dispatch the Corwin if that vessel
could be secured to break way for
the Ohio and pilot her to Nome, or II
that cannot be done to effect trans
fer of passengers.
Capt. Conrad told the master OF the
Transit that he intended to go back
to st. Lawrence island to wait for the
ice to break up.
