AROUND THE WORLD
Dr. Simpsons Story of His Visits to the Countries of the
 Old World
(Continued from last week)
DELHI (GoNT1NUED)

DhlI1L (CONIlNObDI
 In 1739 Mahummad was on the throne. He was failure, but unfor- tunately he thought he was as good warrior as Akber or Baber. At this time the shah Of Persia had worked up quite a reputation as a fighter. He sent friendly embassy to Delhi, but Mahummad did not even treat the mem bers with ordinary civility. When they returned to Persia humiliated, Nadir immediately raised large army and invaded India. An Indian army met him some distance north of Delhi, but Nadir crumpled them up and passed on. The people gave up the city and he set guard over it of few hundred soldiers. Then Nadir got busy. He had an army of two hundred thousand camped on the ridge and he turned them loose. He told his sol diers to take, kill and destroy anything they wished. Mahummad and Nadir sat in the chamber and the poor robles watching them. They must have been an interesting pair--Mahumma biting his nails and swearing to himself; Nadir humming the latest operas to himself; smoke rising in dozen places in the unhappy city. Nahum mad's private property had not yet l ho tory toward Nadir, hoping to save as much as possible. He ordered coffee for himself and Nadir. The vizier, Safdar Jang, brought it in, but he was rather embarrassed. If he gave the coffee to Mahummad first he knew that Nadir would order him out to be executed, while he knew on the other hand that if he gave it to Nadir first that Mahummad would cut off his head as soon as Nadir left, so he handed it to Mahummad, saying, q knew that you would not have your royal guest to receive the coffee from any hand but your own, therefore l give it to you" Nadir said, Cousin Mahummad, if all your officials had the tact and brain of this man my soldiers would never have been in Delhi"
 But the slaughter was going on all the time. Nadir strolled down to mosque beside the police court and ciim bed miuaret so that he could see what was going on. The nobles had lost, or were losing. everything, prop erty, wives, etc., and they begged Ma hummad to ask Nadir to stop it. Ma hummad refused, saying he would rather lose all his property than be snubbed by Nadir. When Nadir re- turned all the nobles tried to get him to stop the massacre, but in vain. Even Safdar Jang failed. At least over hundred and fifty thousand had been killed and I imagine Nadir was getting tired of it himself. Mahummad then asked him 10 order his men to cease and Nadir said, "The emperor of India never asked for anything in vain." He ordered the soldiers to stop and get ready to march. Before leaving he said, "I have taken quite a fancy to that throne of yours and believe I will take it along. You have few other things that like too." He took away about three hundred million dol lars worth of property. The throne was used by the Persian shahs for a long time, but the gems were put in the treasury safe as being too valuable to be at large. They are in the safe yet. Nadir was assassinated a few

months afterwards. Safdar Jang has magnificent tomb on the battlefield where Tamerlain conquered the Indian army a few miles south of modern Delhi.
 Beside this hall are the bathrooms Of the king and his wives. They are very beautiful, are of inlaid mar ble and have many baths of different sizes and shapes, hot and cold water, fountains, jets and sprays. Beside the baths is the little white marble pearl mosque, which is very beautiful. On the other side are the kings and the queens apart ments. The river runs along one side of the palace and it was by this way that the king and his household es. capped when the British took Delhi. Those apartments are all marble and all decorated in the best possible taste. British soldiers were sent to occupy the queen's apartments and the un- imaginative commander had the beauti fully iulaid walls and ceilings, which had taken years to decorate, white washed and they are whitewashed still. Here and there where the coating has worn off the fine marble and jewels may be seen underneath, The other buildings in the fort are nearly all oc- cupied by British soldiers. Near the Delhi gate are the two elephants with the Chitor heroes, Jaimale and Palta.
 The maiu street in Delhi is the Chandi Chank or Silver street. It is said to represent lot of money, but to me it seemed filled up with lot of things animate and inaminate. There are lot of barefooted and bare-legged men and women, naked children, and all noisy; few babies stroll along with white striped trousers and coats, a little round embroidered cap and Tommy Atkins cane. There are also the bull lock carts, entirely wood like the Red River cart; the ekka, horse or pony cart with the seat looking backward; another cart little more stylish for the upper class Hindoos, and, lastly, the closed and open carriages for Euro peans. Cows and bulls stroll about as they like They are sacred and mo- body disturbs them. Now and then they see something at green grocers that they like and they eat it up, the poor proprietor not daring to disturb the sacred animal. Women and little girls run up and down the streets gath ering COW dung. They make this into flat cakes and dry it. It is used as a fuel and is the only fuel that most of them have. I have seen stacks of it piled in front of a house. There is policeman in every block, but not one in thousand understands English. If you board street car neither conduc- tor nor motorman understands English. They give you ticket printed in two languages, neither one of them English. Unless you know the place and know where to stop you would never find your destination on an Indian street car

that he had collected from all but

take the workingmen's money for a

WORKING MEN MADE "EASY

If every law that is broken daily
in Spokane were enforced with
equal severity of the bike ordinance
the city Jail would be full of prison
ers or the city treasury enriched to
the breaking point. But in the bluff
at enforcing the laws the easiest
marks are always taken first. Nat
urally it falls on the shoulders of
the workingmen, and they, being
usually law abiding citizens, pay
their fines, take warning and sin nc
more.
Why do not the police make an

why are police officers permitted to
shoot down citizens, without the
law being invoked against them?
Within sight of the place where
the men were arrested yesterday is
a sign over a cinder path notifying

FURNISHED by Walter a. Nichols &
Company
NEW YORK, July 14-According
to the understanding of the railroad
officials here, the decision reached by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to suspend The operation of higher
freight rates in this particular case
does not apply to the advances which
were to be issued by the western
roads. From the information receiV-
ed from Washington it appears that
such roads as the St Paul, Northern
Pacific, Great Northern, Chicago q
Northwestern, Union Pacific South
ern Pacific, Atchison and Denver &
Rio Grande will not be affected by
this particular order. The decision
however, will affect all the eastern
trunk lines and the roads embraced
in the central traffic association. The
roads. it is said, filed their increased
rates with the understanding that
they would be held up pending inves-
tigation by the committee in the case
of western roads. However, no such
understanding existed. All of the
trunk line and railroads between the
Atlantic coast and the Missouri river
are concerned in the suspension of
freight rates by the Interstate Com
merce Commission today.
