Capital of Persia Now in the
Hands of Nationalist Al
though Heavy Street Fight
ing Is in Progress.
SHAH SEEKS REFUGE
IN FOREIGN LEGATION
Many RoyaIist Troops, IncIud-
ing Cossacks, Are Said to
Be Deserving to Victorious
Troops.

st. Petersburg, July 13.-Reports
from Teheran say one thousand Per-
sian nationalists entered the city early
this morning, which precipitated a
battle through the streets. Russian
cossacks are occupying the central
square and surrounding streets. The
Shah is momentariiy expected to seek
refuge in foreign legation. Nation
alist leaders are in possession of the
parliament building and telegraph sys-
TENS, and the populace of the city is
enthusiastic over the advent of the ma
tionalist forces. Royalists and nation
alists are still fighting in front of the
telegraph office as the dispatch is sent.
Nationalist casualties reported rs
slight. Many royalist troops, includ-
ing cossacks, have deserted to the ma
tionalists. ..s
Failed to Have Effect.
The news of the arrival Of the Rus.
slams at Kazvin having produced lit.
tie effect upon the rival forces. the
Saycred College of Mujtehids has al
last decided to bring its influence to
bear on the situation and Mullahs al
ready have crossed the Turkish from
tier with orders proclaiming a holy
war. A holy war against the Moslems
is unprecedented, but to legalize it the
Shah and his supporters have been de-
clared non-Moslems.
Already the country adjoining the
frontier is In arms and what the out
come will be is impossible to say The
Mujtehids hold similar position to
that Of the Sheik-Ui-Islam at Con-
stantinople. whose decree deprived
Abdul Hamid Of his throne. The Mu;
tehids last year denounced the Shah
but the denunciation was not followed
by immediate action. The proclamation
now issued seems to render impossible
the retention of the throne by the
Shah.

LOCAL MERCHANTS
WERE VICT|M|ztO
BY SMOOTH GANG
Two Swind|ers Take Away
From the City About $500,
After Representing Them
selves as Agents.
RAIL WAY EMPLOYEES
SUFFER CONSEQUENCE
Bunco Men Alleged They Were
Collecting Money to Go Into
Benefit Fund of the R. R.
Association.

Several Richmond merchants have
lately been made the victims of about
the smoothest swindiing game that
has been operated in the city for
years. 1t is estimated that local mer.
chants have been separated from
about $500 and while they are deplor.
ing the fact, the clever swindlers have
taken to the tall and uncut" and have
left no trace as to their whereabouts.
1t has been the custom of Richmond
merchants for years to donate to the
Railroad Employees Association in July
OF each year. Last Thursday and Fri
day two strangers claiming their
home as Indianapolis made a canvas
of the local merchants, asserting that
they were authorized to collect for the
association as all the railroad organ
izations of the country had now been
consolidated under one head. They
showed long list of Indianapolis
merchants bearing their rubber stamp
signature, who had given to the cause
Everything appeared to be all right
to the Richmond merchants who read
lily believed the strangers story and
donated the money, following the GUS
tom of years.
Fraud 10 Uncovered.
However, yesterday, a new light was
thrown on the matter when Collector
Gilbert, local engineer, made a can
vas of all the merchants in the city
asking money for the same cause Gil
bert was told of the two collectors
who had called last week and at once
pronounced them swindlers. He stat.
ed that the railroad organizations
were not consolidated under one head,
that it would be impossible for such a
thing to occur. He further stated
that no one had been authorized to
collect the money but himself and that
the Richmond merchants had been up
against "bunco' game"
The police have been notified and a
diligent search is being instigated
The police of the surrounding towns
and cities have been asked to keep a
sharp lookout for the strangers. A
good description is furnished of the
men. One is described as being an
exceedingly big man while the other
was rather short and heavy set, hav-
ing black hair.
