BATH HISTORICAL PAGEANT.
Great Celebration Is Begun in the An.
cient English City-IIIinois Girl
Taking Part.

Bath, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES park, the
beauty spot of this ancient city, was
a scene of splendor Monday when the
great historical pageant was opened.
People from all parts of the United
Kingdom were present, as well as
many from other lands. But the
guests who attracted the most atten-
ton were the young women who have
been sent here from nearly every
town in the world that was named
Bath after this, the mother city.
Among these young women was Miss
May Sisson, who represents Bath, ILL.,,
and whose mother was born in
Bath, N Y.
Another American woman taking
part in the ceremonies is Mrs. Spen-
Ger Trask of New York city, the au-
thor of King Alfred's Jewel" This
dramatic poem was so admired that
Mrs. Trask was invited to write verses
in honor of the American towns named
Bath, and did so, adding a peace hymn
for both countries.
The pageant will last six days, and
includes eight episodes, from which
will be gained an idea of the range
of history of the city, extending back
to the British King Bladud, who
ruled before the Romans established
on the Avon river the town they
called Aqua Soils, waters of the SUM-"
In the pageant the lesser king, Rich
ard Nash, whose management of the
bathrooms gave to Bath of the eight
eenth century precedence over the
other fashionable resorts, Epson
Harrowgate and Scarborough, is not
subordinate in interest even to King
Bladud, King Edgar, Henry VII,
Queen Elizabeth or Queen Charlotte,
COR the seventh episode is devoted to
the GLORIOUS Time of Beau Nash and
Ralph Allen, 1852"

AS soon as the contents of the

CHINESE MASONS HIDE LING
Empire Approves Protection of Slayer
of Elsie SigeI, According to
Denver OrientaIs,

Denver, Col. - That Leon Ling,
slayer of Elsie Sigel in New York,
never will be found through the
assistance of his countrymen or the
Chinese government is stated by Chi
nese here. His protection, it is said,
was approved by the empire after the
report of the consul at New York had
been received.
A Chinese newspaper, having the
unofficial sanction of the Chinese gov
eminent, has reached Denver, in
which the report OF the Chinese con-
sui in New York is printed in full.
This report followed an investiga-
ton made by the consul at the direc-
ton of the authorities at Picking. The
report after citing the facts of the
case as generally known, states that
1T has been discovered that Elsie
Sigel, fearing disgrace, went to Leon
Ling's room seeking aid, and in mo-
ment of desperation took her own
life by poison. Ling, the report states,
was absent at the time and found the
dead body of the girl upon the bed
upon his return. Frightened by the
discovery, he called Chung Sing, says
the report, who advised him that,
should he tell the truth to the police
regarding the finding of the body he
would not be believed and probably
would be lynched. Frightened by
this view of the case, Ling adopted
desperate efforts to dispose of the
body and conceal his own where
abouts.

SMELL INSANE, SAYS JURY.
Decides the Clinton Millionaire Was
incompetent to Make a Will
Another Appeal Likely.

Clinton, Ill. The jury in the
contested will case of the late
Col. Thomas Smell returned a verdict
last night finding that Col. Smell was
not competent to make a will. The
estate is valued at $1,500,000.
Col, Smell made only a few be-
quests, leaving the estate in trust un-
til the death of all his children and
grandchildren. 1t then was to be dis
tributed among his great-grandchil-
dren and their heirs. The will was
contested by his son, Richard Snell
a banker of Clinton, who was cut
off with $50 in the will. The first
trial resulted in a disagreement. At
the second trial the jury returned a
verdict breaking the will, but the SUI
preme court set aside the verdict on
the ground that improper evidence
was allowed to go to the jury. 1t is
announced that the case will again be
appealed to the higher courts.

HOME TESTING
A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee.

To decide the all important ques-
ton of coffee, whether or not 1t is
really the hidden cause of physical
ails and approaching fixed diseases,
one should make a test of ten days by
leaving off coffee entirely and using
well-made Postum.
If relief follows you may know to

your vicious enemy. OF course you
can take it back to your heart again,

NAME A new SHAH
SULTAN AHMED MIRA ASCENDS
PERSIAN THRONE WHEN
FATHER FLEES.
VICTORY FOR NATI0NALISTS
Ruler Minor and Azad vi Mulk Is
Proclaimed Regent - Dethroned
Monarch Refugee in Russian Lega-
ton, Protected by Cars Troops.

Teheran.-The war of the National
lists for new rule in Persia was per-
fected Saturday when the crown
prince, Sultan Ahmed Mira, who was
proclaimed shah Friday, was placed
on the throne abdicated by Mohamed
Ali. 1t is now believed the fighting
will cease.
Mohamed Ali has taken refuge in
the Russian summer legation at Ter
zende where he is under the protec-
ton of detachments of Cossacks and
Sepoys, dispatched to Zerzende by the
Russian and British diplomatic rep
resentativeS.
The new shah is yet in his minority,
and Azard I'll Mulk, head of the Kajar
family, has been appointed regent.
Sipahdar, one of the most active lead
ers of the movement, has taken Office
as minister of war, and governor Of
Teheran. Gen. Liakhoff, through
whose negotiations with the National
lists the surrender was effected, was
escorted by mounted Bakhtiari rifle
men to the parliament building and
was greeted with loud applause by the
people. He was informed that he
might remain temporarily in COM
mand of the Cossack brigade provided
he strictly obeyed the orders of the
war minister. This arrangement was
communicated to the British and Rus
sian legations.
The shops and private houses occu-
pied by the shahs soldiers have been
plundered and the residence of the
manager of the Indo-European Tele-
graph Company has been looted.
st. Petersburg. THE Russian for
eign Office received dispatch Friday
night from M. Sabelin, charge DAT
aires at Teheran, saying the shah had
taken refuge at the Russian summer
legation at Zerzende The shah was
accompanied by his wife and one of
adherents, and his action was in &C
cordance with an arrangement pre-
viously worked out by the Russian
and British legations.
M. Sabelin Immediately informed
the British displomatic representative
of the shah's arrival and a convoy of
Sepoys was forthwith dispatched to
Zerzende. During the shahs stay at
that place protection will be furnished
by a joint detachment of Cossacks
and Sepoys.
The full strength of the Russian ex-
petition is now at Kasvin and, if nee
essary, the cavalry could get to Teher-
an in two days. The foreign Office is
under the impression that detach-
ment probably will be required, not so
much to protect the shah or to OPP
pose the Bakhtiari tribesmen as to
handle the street mobs and the Te-
heran rabble, which is bent on pillage.
The troops inevitably will be sent in
if single Russian is killed or if
foreign mission requests protection.
In this event the role of the troops
would be confined to police duties.
Both the Russian officers and the Off
Gals of the Russian legation at Te-
heran have been enjoined to remain
strictly neutral in internal affairs.

Pittsburg, Pa.-President Frank N.
Hoffstot OF the Pressed Steel Car
Company Friday blocked all chance
for a settlement of the great McKees

ing to see any committee from the
strikers.
A tense undercurrent of unrest is
apparent and with quantities of
liquors hidden about the strikers
headquarters and the uncertain tenn
per of the strikers and their sympa-
thizers, trouble was expected Satur-
day. Martial law was declared and
the troops have ordered to kill
1t was said that the men have

and were addressed by orators preach
ing burn, blow up and pillage"
Wild rumors of dynamite being
carted into McKees Rocks are
abundant. 1t was reported that strik-
ers had been sent to Pittsburg to pur-
chase gasoline.
A strike leader said there was no
basis for the rumor that a letter had

ing that unless the strikers were at
once reinstated in their positions they
would burn the entire plant.
The events Friday were highly
colored by the appearance of the
wives and women sympathizers. With
their babes in one arm and bricks
and Stag in their free hand, these
Amazons resisted attempts to enter
their homes in search of rioters.
Pittsburg, Pa.-The company's an
nouncement that it would attempt to
operate the mills Friday caused the
constabulary, police and private
guards to prepare for further bloody
battles with the strikers at the
Pressed Steel Car plant in McKees
Rocks, where hundreds were wounded
Wednesday and Thursday and a situa-
ton as alarming as that at Home
stead II years ago prevails.
The foreign element, which COM
prises the main body of the strikers,
saw only red when confronted with
the uniforms of the mounted con-
stabulary Thursday and it was not
long until they had thrown them
selves headlong at the minions of the
law.
