Heinze called his private papers" is
still missing, and the federal authori-
ties are looking for it. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Smith said he had traced
a trunk which he believed contained the
books to Spring Lake, n. j., and later
to the WaldOrf-Astoria hotel in New

had been made to send the trunk to
Montreal, he said, but it weighed SO
much the railroad refused to accept it.
Then the books were taken to another
New York hotel and repacked in two
smaller trunks and left in storage there
in the name of one of the copper COM

Where He Has Taken Refuge
The End in Sight.

Teheran, July 1.-THE royalist forces
apparently have had enough OF fighting
and are prepared to admit the suprema-
cy of the nationalists. The secretary of
the Russian legation here submitted
proposals for the surrender of the Cos
sacks. He asked that the nationalists
should cease attacking the Cossacks,
that the Cossacks should be allowed to
continue service under the future Per-
sian government, and that their safety
should be guaranteed.
Siphadar and Sardarasad agreed 10
this
This action followed a long day of
fighting, during which little damage
seems to have been done.
The British and Russian ministers
have urged the shah to arrange terms
with the nationalists. but the shah has
refused. and it is now expected that the
natiOnalists viii make an attack to-
night on the Sultanatabad palace, where
the shah has taken refuge.
