London. June PA special dispatch
from Teheran to the Times says that he
killed and wounded in yesterdays fighting
totalled seventy, the casualties being
heavy among the natiOnalists Several
deputies were killed. The foreign resi-
dents are in no danger. as the town is in
the hands of the Russians. Rifle firing
lasted for two hours. after which the par
lament building and adjacent buildings
were bombarded at close range, the 200
defenders Of the former building event
ually being scattered.
The lOOting which followed the firing
was indescriOable and continued TIN ough-
out the day. The Times correspondents
state that the behavior of the troops, in
Guiding the Cossacxs, was disgraceful
the mosque. the neighbOring houses. the
palaces of Prince Zilles sultan. and the
estate of Amided DOwies being entirely
looted and partially destroyed. In addI-
ton. peaceful citizens were held up and

Twenty-Five nationalist leaders are prfs-

destruction of the great mosque has horri-
fled the people and the shah will have
extreme difficulty in coping with the sit

FRACTIONAL FIGHT IN IOWA
State Convention Meets Today
Stand-Patters Still on
Cummins' Trail.

Waterloo, Ia, June 2S.-Chief interest in
the Republican state convention here to-
morrow does not lie in the nomination of
a state ticket. but in the adoption of a
state platform. The nominations were all
determined by the primaries save in the
case of supreme justice and for these
nominations there is no contest but on
the platform the fight is between the
proSressives and the stand-patters upon
the issue of the endorsement of the ad-
ministration of Governor Cummins, and
the primary and other laws adopted bv
the last legislature; also the incorporation
of the radical planlEs that were not in
cluded in the national platform. The
stand-patters seem willing to permit
very mild endorsement of the Cummins
administration, but say they will fight
anything that reads as if ii were enthu-
siastic. Many of them also oppose any
specific approval of progressive legisla-
ton. Which faction will control the con-
vention is altogether uncertain tonight.

RASCALITY OF
BOTH CONCEDED
Hearing in Philadelphia Libel
Suits So Far Barren
of Sensations.

Philadelphia, June 23.-There were no
sensations sprung at the hearings here
today in the controversy involving State
Senator James P. McNichol. d. Clarence
Gibboney. secretary of the Law and Or
der society. and Max Kaufman former
secretary for Mayor Reyburn.
The imbrogiiO grew out of a political
speech made by Senator McNichoi in
which he alleged he gave Kaufman. as
Gibboney's agent, money 10 expose the
administration of Mayor Weaver i'm 1906
by raiding gambling houses. The ex-
posture was never made. There were de-
malls and counter-chaTges made. all of
which resulted in Kauffman's having Nc
NichOl arrested for criminal libel. The
senator in turn caused the arrest of
Kaufman for perjury and Gibboney for
criminal libel.
All of the cases have been sent to court
for trial with the hearings heretofore
held. and those held today brought out
much that was interesting to followers
of local politics. One interesting piece of
evidence given by McNichOl was that
United States Senator Penrose contrib
uted half of the $4,000 which il is al
legged went to Kaufman in payment of
the exposure, which McNichOl claims
Kaufman never carried out. McNichOl
today denied ever having paid money TO
the late Mayor Ashbridge or that he had
any improper connection with the famous
Salter jury.

SECOND PLACE
FOR MINNESOTAN
Political dope" Hung on the
Wires at Denver in Be-
half of Johnson.

Denver. June 23.-Even among the few
Democrats of prominence who have come
to Denver to attend the Democratic nd
tlonal convention which will be held in
this city beginning two weeks from to
DAY. the choice of a candidate for vice
president is the leading theme. and il is
already evident that in this respect, at
Il asst the convention will be a counterpart
OF the Republican convention at Chicago.
As choice among candidates, Governor
Johnson has a decided lead
Little attention is paiG 10 the announce
ment that he is not a candidate and would
not accept Those who favor him saw
that while he has been successful in Min
nesOta, he has not won such a place in
his party that he could afford to decline
nomination for second place on a Dem
Ocratic national ticket. They contend
that he is the one available man who
would properly supplement Mr.. Bryan's
candidacy, say he has been put forward
as the candidate for the presidency by
the eastern Democrats. urge that those
Democrats would support him jus. as
strenuOusly for vice president and declare
they must have him."
This faVoritism toward the Minnesota
man for second place does not contem-
plate the possibility of Mr. Bryan's fail
ure, but even in the face of Instructions
there are some who contend that the
Nebraskan cannot win on the first ballot
and that therefore the MinnesOtan has a
fighting chance. This contention is evil
IDENTIFY made, however. in the hope that
there may be a contest worthy of the
name and by those who would like TO
see the convention prolonged. The friends
of Governor Johnson say that. regardless
of the prospects. their candidate will be
placed in nomination for the first posi-
ton. and as a rule they refuse TO dis
cuss the possibility of his being named
for vice president.

Master Of the Situation.

Berlin, June 23.-The troops have
dragged the refOrmers who had taken
refuge in the parliament building be-
fore the shah. The shah seems to be
entirely master of the situation.
The dispatch OF the Local Anzeiger
from its special correspondent at Te-
heran, dated last evening, says:
The disturbances ended in victory
for the shah's party, the opposition
forces being entirely dispersed. The
bombardment ceased toward 2 o'clock
in the afternoon, and the army was
partly withdrawn from the parliament
building after that building had been
cleared"
