SHAFTS OVERTHROW
SEEMS IMMINENT
Temporary Military Govern
ment Is Planned by the
Army Leader.

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept 1.-The
speedy overthrow Of Shah Ali Mira was
foreshadowed today in dispatches re-
ceived from Teheran by the foreign Of
fee. which stated that the army leaders
were considering the deposition OF the
Shah s soldiers, lost $50 In killed and
visional military govern ment, pending
the selection o2 a successor 10 the Shah,
who Is reported as preparing to Zee
from the Persian capital.
Today's dispatches are in keeping with
the trend Of events in Tabriz. the hot
bed OF the Persian revolution. where the
Shah's s troops have just been routed
aIteT an unsuccessful attempt 10 can
ture the city from Satar Khan.
Heavy slaughter has accompanied the
nghtlhg In Tabriz, one dispatch saving
that sIu-Ed- -DOWleh who succeeded
Rdchin Khan as the leader of the
Shahs s soldiers, lost so iu killed and
wounded. Tabriz IS now so completely
IN the hands OF the reVolutionisfs that
II Is doubtful whether the Shah will
make a further attempt TO regain il.
The success Of the revolutiOnists in
IaDriz das inspired upFisings in other
parts OF the country, and has caused Se-
rious disanection among the Sbsb's 81
diers. who for weeks have been canned
near Tabriz. They have not been maid
for several months and are on the uofnt
or Joining the revolution
Inc foreign office SAYS the sftua tiOn
IS analogous 20 the Turkish uDris{np-
that resulted in the Sultan being forced
70 grant his people constitution. Ii is
improbable however, that the Shah will
escape as fortunately as did the Sultan.

Seventh Street Location

As far as the Commissioners are con-

Immediately upon his return today,

himself as in favor of this site. Com

smissioner Macfarland today, 4 recon-
mended TO the Commissioners that we
revoke our approval or the Fourteenth
street site, and require the railroad TO
construct the substauon in the neigh

and the Commissioners by a majority
vote approved that recommendation.
It is believed, however, that the action
of the Commissioners viii not definitely
determine the location of the station.
The railroad company, although it has
not officially announced its course OF
procedure, viii, it is understood, take
the case into court, and endeav0r by

NEW DIRECTORS
FOR TRUST COMPANY

AS the result of recent strong buying
of the stock of the United States
Trust Company by local and out-of-
town interests, a marked change was
made in the personnel of the board
of directors of that institution today.
At the regular annual meeting of the
stockholders, held this noon, seven
new directors out of total of thirty
We're elected. About 500 stockholders
voted.
A change in the directorate does not
involve a change in the ownership Of
the bank, according to one of the of
ficials. The ownership of the majority
of the stock. he said today, remains
the same.
As TO who the new interests represent
ed IN the directorate were, he declined
10 announce for the present. It is to
be noted, however, that one OF the new
directors is Richard >Elkins. a son of
Senator Elkins, the latter of whom IS
already interested in a chain of banks
and trust companies besides his large
holdings of railroads and ether corpora
tiOns.
The new directors elec&d today are
Richard Ellsins, w. T. GaIiher. Colin
ii. Livingstone, Isaac T. Mann, d. X

CASH BAIL NO GOOD,
TWO START TO JAIL
Washington Lawyer Has a Narrow
Escape From Going TO Prison
in MARYLAND.

Because they were strangers and
could not furnish a s1OO real estate
bond. it is said that Charles c. Payne,
Of Ardnore. and J. Hanson Boyden, a
prominent attorney of Washington.
were held in custody on a technical
charge for several hours at Hyatts-
vile on Friday last. and were en- route
TO jail with an officer when a Wash
ington friend luckily appeared on the
scene.
The difficulty arose over their efforts
TO collect a commission for the sale Of
land belonging to Mrs. f. n. Maloy. at
A~dmore. Two real estate brokers of
Washington, il seems, sold the same
property to different persons. When
Payne and BOyden took possession, after
depOsiting 800 TO bind the bargain.
they were arrested at the instance of
other parties, who claimed to have
purchased the property in good faith.
AS they were being taken to the
Chesapeake Beach train to make the
trip to the Marlboro Jail. Boyden was
recognized by Harry ". Dorsey, an
official Of the Smithsonian Institutes
and they were finally liberated on bond
furnished by G. Hodges Carr. at Mr.
DoTsey's suggestion.

Business was rather light on the local

cessions in values as an inducement to

stocks were firmer.

DAYS DECLINES.

NEW YORK, Sept. There doesn't
seem TO be the slightest question re-
garding the manipulation now going on
in the stock market. nor yet with re-
gard TO the manipulation in chief. II IS
palpable to the lamb and to the old
time professional Under existing con-
ditions the Hartman following can do
5ust about what it wants with the
stock market. It has proved profitable

nervous as can be, and afraid of their
own shadows. that they may not be
able to detect the time TO turn and
follow the downward movement
There are many who have turned.
They have been spanked for doing so,
and yet they hesitate TO keep on the
bun side and are getting In and out
with a frequency that confirms this
opinion of the situation.
Hartman Is Not Playing Lone Hand.
Perhaps Hartman and his allies-for
he is not working a lone hand over
time, on the eve OF a national election
maintain the upward movement in Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific. for the
purpose Of marketing holdings in other
securities. in any event there is some
distribution throughout the list that
looks like liquidation cleverly distribut-
ed over a period OF days.
II is also a fact that bears have not
the courage of their convictions, and
this is not 20 be wondered at, for they
have been Jolted every time they have
taken a try at the bear side. They tried
it again this morning right from the
tap Of the bell and put out a fair line OF
shorts on a market that broke lzdsz, but
when they tried to take In their small
profits they were unable to buy except
on an advance that rather more than
equaled the earlier decline.
The West Bullsh
The West is hullish. but there were
comparatively few commissions from
private wire houses other than of a
speculative character. The political sit
uation is an influence, and must be so
considered. It Is doubtful If the big
men Of the street who hold the majority
OF the stocks care 10 go into the cam

that would be dangerous
London came weak and lower. and
this was one Of the influences favOring
the declines after the Opeuiugi but this
influence was accentuated by the lear
OF a loss in the Republican plurality
IN Vermont. Late advices from the
State in question do not indicate that
this fear Is likely to be realized.
Look for Industrial Advance.
The pointers from commission houses
and tipsters is favorable TO a rise in
industrials. on the improving condi-
tions. and in rails that have rot. as
yet, shared in the upward turn. This
is a logical prediction. as it is, perhaps,
part of the bargain with the allies of
