should receive So for sitting in every
case, instead of 81 as the bill pro-

objections. Other members scented

HOMESTEADS REGISTERED
Public Domain in State of Washing
ton Is Rapidly Taken, 1000
Making Entries in One
Day at Spokane
(By Associated Press.)

SPOKANE Wash, July 16.-Seven
thousand persons applied in Spokane
today for land registration making a
total of 1900 who have mailed applt-
cations in this city in two days. These
applicants have paid to notaries more
than $4,000 in 25-cent fees, and probably
$4,000 more will be paid before the
midnight of August 5.
Fully one-half of the applicants are
from other states than Washington.
The notaries are supposed to report
every night to the land office the num-
ber to whom they have administered
the oath, but more than half have
failed to do so. Ninety-one of the 211
authorized notaries reported 5000 for
today. AS half of them have not made
any report at all and as more than
half have failed to report the second
day, it is Impossible to get accurate
figures, but the total of 1900 for the
two days is believed to be within the
mark.
The city is crowded and the hotels
are turning away thousands. One
hotel alone had 900 applicants whom it
could not accommodate. At Coeur
dAlene similar conditions prevail.
The number of applicants there are
about the same as in Spokane.
Special electric trains run through
the. two cities at frequent intervals
Estimates of from 1000 to 1000 come
from KaIispell and Missoula for the

sion of a sixteenth amendment to the
national constitution which shall give
women the vote. Already between 300,
900 and 100000 names have been OBJ
tanned.
"The petition will not be presented to

ter in Doyers street.

FORMER RULER OF PERSIA
SEEKS RUSSIA'S PROTECTION

ST. PETERSBURG, July 16.-The
Russian foreign office received a dis
patch tonight from M. Sabelin, charge
d'affaires at Teheran, saying the shah
of Persia had taken refuge at the Rus
sian summer legation at Zerzende.
NJ. Sabelin informed the British dip
lomatic representative of the shahs
arrival and a convoy of Sepoys was
forthwith dispatched to Zerzende.
Up to midnight the foreign office
was in receipt of no further advices
except an urgent appeal from the Rus
sian bank at Teheran for protection,
the bank being exposed to a serious
crossfire.
The fact the shah took refuge in
the Russian legation here is accepted
as tantamount to his abdication of
the throne and arrangements are on
foot to organize a provisional govern
ment pending the appointment of a
regent.
1t is probable the successful revolu-
tionists will choose Mohammed Ali, the
former rulers son. to govern the state.
Mohammed Ali is a minor and will be
under regent. 1t is probable the
uncle of the dethroned shah, Zill-es-
Sultan, who is at present in Europe,
will be given this post.

Last Month of Big
Robbery

DULUTH Mimi, July 16.-A sequel
to the theft of $4,000 from Mrs A. j.
Shea in Seattle six weeks ago, and the
subsequent return of $4,000 of the
money, came to light today when Mr..
Shea was arrested for contempt of
court in his refusal to pay $4,000 on a
$4,000 judgment secured against him
by his former attorney, M. L. Wash
burn.
Mr.. Shea sold the timber on his claim
for $4,000 and gave the money to his
wife, who went west with it. The story
of the theft was doubted by the Seattle
police, and their suspicious We're
strengthened when $4,000 of the sum
was reported to have been returned.
Shea was examined on supplement
ary proceedings and ordered to pay Mr..
Washburn $4,000 of the judgment Sc
cured on a note and for attorneys fees

TEHERAN, July 16.-The national
assembly, composed of the chief, Mute
hid, and the leaders of the National.
ist forces, today proclaimed the crown
prince, Sultan Ahmed Mira, shah OF
Persia, in the presence of an immense
crowd in parliamentary square. Azad
III Mulk, head of the Kajar family,
was made regent.
Both Sipasdar and Sardarasad, the
Nationalist leaders, will be members
of the provisional government, which
doubtless will be composed of their
nominees. The fighting between the
main body of combatants has ceased,
but much firing is being done by the
rough element.
1t is apparent that an agreement has
been reached between the Nationalists
and the brigade of Persian troops called
the Cossacks, which has been fighting
on the side of the shah, under the
command of Russian officers. Sipasdar
and Sardarasad agreed that the Co.'S
sacks shall retain their arms. Col
onel Liakhoff, the leading Russian Of
fcer, will in the future, however, be
under direct orders of the minister Of
war, who is to be appointed soon.
