RUSSIANS WILL
SACK TEHERAN
INVASION BY THE BAKHTlARIN
FORCES IMMINENT
Crisis Anticipated in Short Time, but
Cars Government Promises
to Protect Its Sub
Iects There

ST. PETERSBURG, June 30.-The oc-
cupation of Teheran, Persia by Rus
sian military expedition is regarded in
well informed circles as distinct
probability of the near future.
The latest advices received here from
Teheran indicate that the British and
Russian consuls sent out to negotiate
with the leader of the Bal6htiari forces
advancing against Teheran from the
south failed to obtain the desired prom
ise that the march would be stayed ana
that the Bakhtiaris, who are acting IN
complete accord with the Caucasian
and Persian reVOlutiOnists, are expect
ed shortly to resume the offensive from
Kasbin
The Russian foreign office considers
that the entrance of the BakhtiariS
into Teheran would cause street nght-
ing and pillaging and endanger lie.
The government will, If necessary,
undertake any measure that may be
required for the protection Of RUSSIAN
lives and interests. The crisis is eX-
pected to come to a head within a
fortnight.
The only force upon which the Per-
sian government can depend for their
defense of Teheran consists of about
1900 Persian CossacBs.
The foreign office has a very poor
opinion Of the motives of the so-called
liberal forces of Persia.
Many of the leaders, they say are
actuated more by desire for loot than
liberty,

drels," and there was hysterical weep

Speakers on both sides were Kissed
down. Both sides agreed upon ousting
the newspaper reporters, one of whom,
after his exclusion, telephoned to po-
lice headquarters that a riot was in
progress in Plymouth church.
Convention in Tears
A squad of bluecoats soon entered the
hall and found the CONVENTION in
tears.
The report of the credentials COM
mittee was adopted, and Mrs. Hutton.
on walking out of the hall, was fol-
lowed by all of her adherents.
Then the regulars reelected Presi-
dent Devoe and chose other officers
Endorsed by her.
A reception in honor of the officers of
the American Woman Suffrage ASSOC

ton of Military

NEW YORK, June 30.-Although
dueling is nominally illegal in Ger
many, details of u most remarkable
encounter in which the preliminaries
were arranged by the state, are given
in a cable from Berlin, which states
that Lieut.. Granier shot and killed
Lieut. Zwitzers near Blankenburg.
Zwitzers, although a married man
with a family, tried to kiss Granier's
fiancee and a military court of honor
sanctioned the duel and arranged the
fight.
Two companies of infantry kept the
grounds a locomotive and an ambu-
lance car were provided by the state
railway to carry the expected victim
to the nearest hospital
Granier's first shot pierced his OPP
ponent's lungs and the wounded man
died in the hospital soon after the
train arrived with him.
Lieut.. Granier will probably now
undergo few months comfortable
detention i'm a fortress, the message
declares.

PORTLAND. June 3o.-Despite the
Opposition of Corresponding Secretary
Biting of St. Louis, who wished the

sionary society that the society be ad-
mitted as part of the convention.
The convention also referred to the
finance committee the application of
the women for ar allowance from the

Colonial Stoneware.

Since colonial furniture, glassware
and chintzes are back in fashion,
those who make tableware have fallen
into line.
One of the new importations is
stoneware in Chinese patterns. The
decorations are in bright colors, usual
ly OF flowers, and the shapes are very
quaint.
In the early days the stoneware
cups were made without handles and,
although you can still get them, such
a cup is not a convenient thing to
drink from.
This new-old stoneware wears for
ever and a day. 1t was originally in
vented to be of long service, as in
those days people could not pick up
table sets at the nearest department
shops.
This ware is charming for break
fasts and luncheons, especially when
used in a dining room furnished with
colonial mahogany.

Officers of the signal corps have not

The organization of the did You
Bite, Too?' club is the result of a
visit to Washington of two women
from New York in the interest of a
very captivating publicity scheme.
This scheme is now one of the secrets
of the Did You Bite, Too?" club.
A few days ago the young women
went back to New York The day aft
er their departure a large bunch of
letters came to the capitol, all written
on the business stationery of the no
tel. Each letter contained a state
ment, of the account of the person to
whom it was addressed. One was for
five automobile rides, another was for
dinners and suppers, another for nu-
merous bottles of wine, others were
for miscellaneous items, and one,
which was received by a young con-
gresham, who has plenty of the
wherewithal and doesn't care how he
spends it, was for board and lodging
for two persons for one week
Those who paid homage to these
young women and wondered at the
lavish entertainment are wondering
no longer. The members of the Did
You Bite Too?" club know exactly
how they managed it. Now that it
is all over. if you can get one of them
to talk club matters he will tell you
it was one of the finest pieces of
high financing that ever came to his
notice

But the senate warmed up slowly.
Senator Warren coldly argued that.
if the elevator men were to be bene-

ployes' salaries would be necessary.
AS proposed by Borah, the amendment
was beaten

however, sprang the same amendment

that did not seem to make any differ
