Teheran, Persia, July 13-Thousands
Of nationalists entered Teheran at :
o'clock this morning and the entire
northern section of the city is in their
hands. There has been some fighting

the nationalists are preserving excel

trolls thru the city.
The shah is expected momentarily to
take refuge in one of the foreign lega-
tions. Royalist troops have taken up
q position in the central square and
surrounding streets. 1t is believed the
nationalists will attack their position
with a full force If they do not sur
render. The safety Of foreigners does
not appear at this writing to be seri-
ously threatened.
Populace is With Invaders.
Sipahdar and Sarda Hasad, national
list leaders. are in possession of the
parliament building. A body of local
nationalists under the leadership of
Young Seyed have taken possession of
the residence of Saadeddowleh, foreign
minister. Many royalist soldiers, in
cluding number of Cossacks, have de-
serted to the nationalists. The popu-
lace of the city is enthusiastic over
the advent of the nationalist forces.
They throng the streets wearing red
badges and offering encouragement to
the revolutionary soldiers.
There was sharp outbreak of rife
fire this morning near the British le-
cation, but 1t did not last long. Casu-
alties among the nationalists were
slight. The nationalists are in pos

cisIon in Test Case.
Lincoln, July 13.-After an all after
noon sitting the superior court of the
state handed down a decision deolar-
Ing the Donohue nom partisan judiciary
election law invalid. The decree says:
"The majority Of the court holding
that the act is void, the judgment OF
the district court is affirmed"
This means that the election OF
judges of the supreme court district
courts, regents Of the state university
county judges, and county superin-
tendehts by use of a separate ballo,
can not take place. The old law will
continue to hold.
The chief objection Of the court was
to the provision requiring that the 1,oOo
names to be on a petition for judge. not
more than 500 of which could come
from one county. They declared that
it was hindrance to the free exercise
of the franchise, and was repugnant
to the constitution Of the state Four
of the six members sitting believed this
provision formed the chief reason for
the passage, and thus invalidated the
whole act.

who yesterday was sentenced to seven
years. on charge of bigamy, left to-
day In custody of an officer, for San
Quentin prison. johnson is reported
as having confessed that he is the mys-
terious John Madison" but the con-
fesston is so full Of Inconsistencies and
SO at variance with other statements
he has made, that the police authorities
are not inclined to give it full Gre
dence.
In this confession, Johnson declares
that he has been married to so many
women that he can not count them
Off handed
I'm 1906" he says, II QUIT the busi-
ness OF buying horses, and from that
day TO this have been making my liv-
Ing by marrying and making love to
women, getting their money and then
deserting them"
One OF his most amazing feats, ac-
cording to his story, was making love
to ten women at one time, in Port
land, Ore. While admitting that he
get money from most of the women,
and that his marriages were part of
his get-rich-quic system, johnson de-
clares that in every instance he spent
the money he received upon the victim
herself They kept me broke all the
time," is the way he expresses it, He
names eighteen women with whom he
claims to have contracted marriage,
and says he obtained money or jew
elry from each one OF them.

DOCTOR sLAYs BANKER.
Love Affair Cause Of Tragedy at
Crescent CITY. Ill.

Love Affair Cause Of Tragedy at
Crescent City, Ill.
Watseka, ILL.,, July 13.-J. B. Sayler,
vice president Of the First National
Bank of Crescent City. was shot and
instantly killed in his own home by
DR.. w. r. Miller, a physician, who for
two years had been paying marked at
tentions to the bankers wife. Thruout
Iroquois county the citizens are so
aroused over the crime that mob vio-
lence is feared and the sheriff has
doubled the guard at the county jail.
AS the facts were unraveled at the
coroner's inquest, Sayler, on returning
home late Sunday night, surprised
Miller in the company of Mrs. Sayler.
The doctor proposed a game Of cards.
The banker declined and demonstrated
with the physician for his conduct,
which had created gossip in the COM
muhity. For answer Miller pulled an
automatic revolver irom his pocket,
according to the evidence at the ,in-
quest, and fired pointblank at Sayler.
Four shots struck the husband, one
piercing the heart and causing instant
death. In the meantime Mrs. Sayler, at
the beginning OF the altercation, had
fed from the house.
at was none of my affair, and let
them fight 1t out" she declared coolly
at the inquest.
After the shooting Miller went home
and retired to bed. Neighbors who had
heard the shots rushed over to the
Sayler home and found the banker ly-
ing dead in a pool Of blood. The sher-
i'll of Iroquois county was summoned,
Miller was arrested and brought to
Watseka, where today he was held by
a coroner's jury for the murder Of the
banker.
Both families are prominent IN Iro-
quois county. Sayler was retired far
mer and stockman Of considerable
wealth. who, upon leaving the farm,
went into the banking business. He
was universally esteemed thruout the
county. Miller had lived at Crescent
City for five years. and altho his fam
lily was popular he himself had been Sc
verely criticised and censuHed in the
public gossip for his alleged attentions
to Mrs. Sayler, which, it was devel-
oped at the inquest, have been of a
most devoted nature for a period of
over two years.
From the testimony great weight is
attached by the police authorities to the
theory that the murder was premedi-
tated. Support for this belief is de-
rived from the fact that DIR. Miller sent
his wife and two children away for a
visit with relatives, while simultan-
eously Mrs. Sayler sent off her IL
year-old daughter on a trip.

Lincoln, July 13.-william j. Bryar
today addressed the following letter tt
President Taft:
Nov that the states are going
to vote on ratification of the
amendment specifically authorizing
an income tax, why not give them
the chance to vote on an amend

United States senators by popular
vote? In your speech of accept
ance you said you were personally
inclined to favor such change in
the constitution. Would not this be
an opportune time to present the
subject to congress? Two consti-
tutional amendments, one author
izing an income tax and the other
providing for popular election of
senators, would make your admin
istration memorable. I pledge you
whatever assistance I can render
in securing the ratification of these
amendments. With great respect,
