automobile, was in justice court this
morning before Justice Washburn to
answer a charge of assault and battery

1t seems that Langston was driving
ahead of Spencer with a horse and

Spencer's way when he came up.
This was irritating to Spencer and
when Langsjon got to Kuhn Spencer

MANS BODY is MISSING.

Kalamazoo, Mich, July 13.-Mystery
surrounds every phase of the drown
ing last night in Klinger lake, st. Jo-
seph county, OF Miss Mamie Davey of
Chicago and the probable drowning at
the same time of Claude Hunt, young
farmer living near Sturgis, with whom
Miss Davey had gone out boating. Miss
Davey, who was 30 years Of age. had
been visiting at Klinger Lake recup-
Grating from long illness. and it is
said an operation for appendicitis. she
had been there for about two weeks and
had met Hunt since her arrival Hem

Dies Attempting Rescue.
Last night about $50 O'Clock Hunt
and Miss Davey endeavored to rent q
row boat from the resort boat livery.
Proprietor Wall states that he refused
them as he did not consider Hunt COM
petent to manage boat The young
people. however, secured q boat else
where and put out on the lake.
Whether Miss Davey jumped from
the boat with suicidal intent and Hunt
followed her in an attempt 20 rescue
the girl, both perishing, or whether an
accident OF some sort threw both into
the water Is only speculation Failure
TO find Hunts body adds to the mys-

New York, July Thomas B. Har-
ned. the indicted counsel for Adolph
Segal, president OF the Pennsylvania
Sugar Refining Co. has broken the last
thread binding him to George III. Earle,
jr. Those familiar with the inside
workings Of the sugar trust investiga-
tions know that Mr.. Earle endeayored
to protect Harmed from indictments be-
cause Of the service he rendered the
prosecution during Mr.. Earle's case
against the trust.
The trouble arose over an alleged I'm
terview IN which Harmed took excep-
tions to the governments course and
termed his own Indictment as an OUT
rage. He has since denied this inter-
view, stating he was misquoted, but In
his denial he called the whole affair an
agitation and this has nettled Earle to
action. In an open letter signed to
George Earle, jr, he severely attacks
Harmed for his course.

FIGHTING ON THE STREETS
Shah Expected to Seek Protec.
ton Of Foreigners
POPULACE Wild WITH JOY
RoyalistS and CoSSacks Are
Fast Deserving

Teheran, July 13. -- One thousand
Nationalists entered Teheran at 5
o'clock this morning. They came in by
three gates and the entire northern Sec
tion OF the city was soon in their
hands. There has been some fight
ing in the streets, but as a general
thing the nationalists are preserving
excellent order. They are sending out
patrols through the city. The shah is
expected momentarily to take refuge
in one of the foreign legations.
The royalist troops, particularly the
Cossacks, have taken up a position in
the central square and the surrounding
streets, and it is believed the national
lists will attack their position in full
force If they do not surrender.
Foreigners Are Safe.
The safety of the foreigners does not
appear, at this time, to be seriously
threatened. Spiahdar and Sardahasad,
the nationalist leaders, are in posses
sion of the parliament building. A
body OF local nationalists, under the
leadership of Young Seyed. have taken
possession of the residence of Saad-
Ed Dowlch, foreign minister
Many of the royalist soldiers, includ-
ing g. number Of Cossaclxs, have desert
ed to the nationalists. The populace of
the city Is enthusiastic over the advent
of the nationalist forces. They throng
the streets wearing red badges and
Offering encouragement to the revolu-
tionary soldiers.
Bullets Fly in Street.
This afternoon fighting In the
streets continued, but mostly at long
range. There were no attempts to in
terfere with any OF the legations, or
the British or Russian banks. The
Russian flag is flying from the house
Of Colonel Liakhoff, military COM
mander at Teheran, where Nine. LAX
hoff courageously persists in remain
ing. The house is close TO the square
where the Cossacks are opposing the
advance of the nationalists and is ex-
posed to bullets of the combatants.

House ConfereeS Hope to Cut

COMMITTEE WILL EXPLAIN
MEMBERS or THE COMMITTEE IN
THE SENATE ISSUE STATEMENT
DECLARING THAT NECESSITIES
OF LIFE HAVE NOT BEEN IN
cREAsED-5oo DECREASES.

Washington, d. c.. July 1S.-when
the conferees on the tariff bin began
work today it was with the knowledge
that the amendments to the lumber
schedule. oyer which contest was cer-
tain, would be reached before adjourn
ment. The house members were ex-
pected to make a strong fight for dol
lar lumber" which was defeated in the
senate. In view Of the fact that the
lumber amendment will require great
deal of deliberatien, 1t seems likely
that after the discussion has contin-
ued for time the whole subject would
be put over until another day. The
conferees decided to clear up the dis
putes over the matters of little i'm
portance before becoming entangled
over really serious differences.
WooIens Not Increased.
Members of the senate committee on
finance are preparing a statement re-
plying to the charges that the senate
amendment to the tariff will result IN
increasing the cost of wooden and cot
ton clothing, shoes and other articles
of common wear, as well as other nec-
essaries of life. The statement will
