COMMITTEE WILL FILL PLACE
 IN CASE OF SHERMAN'S DEATH

Chicago, June 23.-When appraised of the illness of Representative James S. Sher. man, the republican Vice Presidential nominee, Harry s. New, chairman of the national committee, 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 of his demise, MT. New was clearly of the opinion that in such event the national committee would have full power to name Vice Presidential candidate. They are, he said, vested with similar power with regard to the Presidential candidate, but said that it there was sufficient time before election to do so. the committee would reassem- ble the convention and have a nomination made in the regular way.
 While there is no precedent to guide the national committee in filling vacancy, there seems to be no doubt that the com mittee has authority to name a candidate for Vice President in the event of the death of MT. sherman. This is the opln- ion of the majority of the republican na- tional committee, 1t being that the repre- sentative of the state on the national com nlttee StanuS III the pldce or the StdtS delegation to the national convention and therefore has authority to act for the dele ton in the event of vacancy on the national ticket.
 The same view regarding action in the event of vacancy is held by the demo- crats, since at the St. Louis convention four years ago, as MT. Davis. the nomi- nee for Vice President, was 80 years old, a resolution was passed by the conven- ton authorizing the national democratic committee to fill vacancy in case of ne- cessity.
 While every one hopes that there will be no occasion to select another candi- date for Vice President by the republi- cans, there is no doubt that the national committee has authority to fill a vacancy in emergency.

Shah Is Master.

Berlin, June 2S.-The troops have dragged the reformers who had taken refuge in the parliament building before the Shah. The Shah seems to be entirely master of the situation.
 A dispatch to the Lolkal Anzeiger from it's special correspondence at Teheran dated last evening says:
 .The disturbances ended in victory for the Shah's party, the opposition forces be- Ing entirely dispersed. The bombardment ceased towards o'clock in the afternoon and the artillery was partly withdrawn from the parliament building after that building had been cleared.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 parlia- mentary quarters. The dead have not yet been carried off the streets and they are lying everywhere m exposed places. A very large number of persons were wounded.
 '.The artillery fired on the population at very short range, while from the roofs of the houses and the mosques the peo- nle replied with rifles and revolvers. To- night the cossacks hold all the squares and streets.
 '.,rhe 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
 ''The European quarters in Teheran are comparatively quiet

SUPPORTERS OF JOHNSON
 WILL STICK TO THE END

he has been put forward as the candi- date for the presidency by eastern dem- ocrats and urge that those democrats would support him just as strenuously for vice president and declare they must have him. The favoritism toward the Minnesota man for second place does not contemplate the possibility of MT. Bryan's failure, but even in the face of instruc- tions there are some who contend that the Nebraskan cannot win on the first bal lot and that. therefore, the Minnesotan has fighting chance.
 This contention is evidently made, how ever, in the hope that there may be a contest worthy of the name and by those who would like to see the convention pro- longed.
 The friends of Governor Johnson say that regardless of the prospects, the can didate will be placed in nomination for the first position and as a rule they re- fuse to discuss the possibility of his being named for vice president

Cleveland, O., June 23-Representative James Schoolcraft Sherman, republican candidate for vice president, removed early today from the home of former Gov ernor Herrick to Lakeside hospital, a suf- ferer from gall stones, after some what restless day, is reported in an of ficial bulletin tonight as holding his own If the patients condition continues to improve, the bulletin said, it is not likely that an operation for the removal of the gall stones would be necessary. The phy- scans state that MT Shermans we'll known abstemious habits have given him much bodily strength to resist the ravages of the disease.
 The following telegram was dictated by Mr. Sherman to his secretary late this evening in answer to message of sympathy from the presidential nominee, William H. Taft:
 ''Lakeside hospital, Cleveland, O., June 23.
 'Hon W. H. Taft New Haven, Conn.
 My illness is not of critical nature andthe doctors this afternoon advised that can possibly go home in three or four
  for your cordial telegram I expect to see you in Washington on Wednesday of next week. J. s. SHERMAN"
 The unfavorable symptom in the case is the continued high temperature. In the 9 o'clock bulletn tonight, it was given as 1O2h with pulse normal At that hour MT. sherman was restless.
 The extreme heat of the day. running into the nineties, did not add to the com fort of the patient.
 Sudden Illness.
 Representative Sherman arrived in Cleveland last Sunday from Cincinnati, following a conference with MT. Taft. He went immediately to the home of ex-Gov- ernor Herrick, where he remained until taken to the hospital at 10:30 o'clock this morning.
 while coming here and retired to hls bed on arrival at the Herrick home His con dition became rapidly worse until it was thought by the physicians called in to at- tend him that an operation would be necessary.
 When received at the hospital, MT. Sher- man was very restless with a temperature of 102 and pulse of 92.
 Drs. Carter and Allen conferred, but postponed action until further develop ments. About 1 p. m. MT. Sherman rest si comfortably and upon awakening from a short sleep seemed refreshed. At 2:3O p. m. his condition had improved to such an extent that the physicians stated that their confidence in the quick recovery of their distinguished patient.
 No special change was noticed until 5;30

Fires of Revolution Break Out and Many Persons Are
 Killed and Wounded
HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT
 SPELLED AND RUINED
Dead and Wounded Lie All Round In the Streets, and Revolutionists Have Dispersed After En-
 gaeement With Troops.

Teheran, June 23.-After a bloody fight which was waged around the parliament building today, the city was comparative y quiet tonight, although the cossacks were camped in the streets and squares Cossacks and soldiers early in the morn- Ing surrounded the parliament building and demanded that a number of persons whose arrest the Shah had ordered be forthwith handed over to them. Parlia- ment refused to comply with this demand and shots were fired at the troops, several soldiers being killed. Orders were at once issued from military headuarters that the parliament building be bombarded and that bombardment commenced soon after Io o'clock. While this was in progress tombs were thrown from the parliament building and the mosque adjoining, dis abling one of the guns and wounding the gunners.
 Eventually the halls of parliament were cleared, but not before many persons had been killed and wounded. The lombard ment continued until o'clock in the aft ernoon when it suddenly ceased. In the meantime the troops pillaged the political clubs in that neighborhood and numerous residences of influential members of par lament, in which work they were aided by the populace. The number of casual ties is unknown, but it will be very large.
 The parliament buildings are practically in ruins The firing was confined to parliament square, the other parts of the city being comparatively quiet. Large numbers of leading nationalsts, including priests and members of parliament have been placed under arrest.

w. l.. DOUGLASS DISCUSSED
 FOR THE VICE PRESIDENCY

MT. Douglass, from what he could gather, is in no sense a candidate so far as personally seeking the houor, but if the democrats of the land think he would add any strength to the ticket it is said that he Is willing to become the running mate of MT. Bryan.
 Democrats wh om MT. Sefton met ia New York informed him that Gov ernor Douglass is considered even stronger now than he was when he carried Massachusetts several years ago. An employer of thousands of men and women he has never had trouble with his forces through a strike and he has also high standing in financial and industrial circles.

 D. m., when the temperature increased one degree with quicker pulse, due, the doctors said, to the excitement attending the arrival of Mrs. Sherman and son from Utica. During the afternoon the attend ing physicians communicated with Dr. Finney a specialist of Baltimore, who has heretofore treated MT. Sherman. Dr. Finney was i'll and unable to come to Cleveland. Later MT. Sherman's secl etary, H. E. Devendorf, stated that Dr. Boskc- witz of New York, who also had been summoned, would not come, but would hold himself in readiness in the event of a serious change in the patients condi- ton.
 Family Arrives.
 Mrs Sherman and son, Richard, ar rived in Cleveland at 4:35 D. m. from their Lcme in Utica. Upon their arrival at the hospital Mrs Sherman was so nervous and weak, as I reeult of her anxiety, that she had to be carried in a chtir to the apartments assigned to her. She did not at once enter the sick room of her f-s- land, but remained in her rooms until she had recovered her strength.
 The meeting of the father. mother and son was unda, conditions entireiy differ ent from those planned for this, evening at their Utia home, where elaborate ar- engagements had been made for Il Q home coming of the Vice Presidential nominee. Mr. Sherman expressed his profound in- terest in the plans mace for his reception and voiced his keen disappointment at not being able to be at home
 At 10 o'clock tonight MT Sherman's tenn perature had dropped two-tenth to 102 2-10, pulse 92; respiration 9S. The patient com- plained of headache and pain In his back. He is very restless.
 To the Associated Press representative Dr. Carter said the conditions were as well as could be expected, except the ln- creased pulse indicating bad heart &C., ton.
 Mrs. Sherman and Richard Sherman both desire the presence of specialist, and communication has been established with Dr. Bull of New York to have hiIn in waiting. If called upon he will come upon a special train.
 Dr. Boskowitz also may come.

Rifle firing lasted for two hours. after which the parliament build- ing and adjacent buildings were bonn barded at close range. the 200 defenders pf fine former building eventually being scattered.
 The footing which followed the firing was indescrbabe and continued through out the day.

Ravaqes By the Kurds.

St. Petersburg, June 23.-The Novoe vremya today publishes dispatch from a correspondent who has just completed perilous trip from Tabrz Persia, to Urumiah, through country swarming with pillaging Kurds. He declares that Urumiah is now completely surrounded by Kurds, who are ravaging the vil- lages on all sides, up to the gates of the town. The sound of firing is constantly heard. The missionaries at Urumiah have held a meeting and sent out to their re- spective countries a statement of the crit ical position in which they find them selves.
 Turkish regular troops are close behind the raiding Kurds. It is declared at the foreign office here that Russia has made continual representations to the Porte about the situation at Urumiah but with out result up to the present time. Rus sia has not yet decided upon any more aggressive steps The temporary occu- patton of Urumah by Kurds and Turks is considered a possibility.
 The foreign office does not believe that the missionaries in Urumiah would be involved in any danger. It thinks the other foreign residents also will be safe.
