PERSIA ACCEDES TO DEMANDS
Shuster Will Be Dismissed and Persia
Will Pay Indemnity.

London.-Persia yielded to the de-
nand of the Russian ultimatum that
W. Morgan Shuster, an American, who
holds the post of treasurer-general in
the Persian government, be dismissed
from the service of the Persian gov
eminent. The Russian ultimatum also
calls for the payment of indemnity,
which is to reimburse Russia for money
expended in sending an armed expedition
into Persia to force her demand.
Mr.. Shuster's administration of Per.
sia's finances has been displeasing to
Russia from the start, and when he
caused the seizure of property belonging
to the brother of the ex-shah, over the
protest of the Russian ~vice-consul, Rus
STA at first demanded an apology, and
when this was not forthcoming called for
the dismissal of Mr.. Shuster, and this
has finally been acceded to.

minister MURDERER
CUTS SELF IN JAIL
WITH PIECE OF TIN SLASHES HIM
SELF IN THE GROIN.
Physicians Finish Act-rrial Set for
January 15-Injury Win Not In
terfere With the Trial.

Boston, Mass.-Cries and groans
breaking the stiffness of the early morn
ing hours at the county Jail led to the
discovery that the Rev. Clarence v. T.
Richeson, awaiting. trial on the charge
of having murdered Miss Avis Linnell,
had mutilated himself severely in The
groin with a piece of tin. So serious
was the wound that it was found neces.
sary to perform an operation imme-
diately. Later in the day the surgeons
said the operation vas entirely sue
cessful, and that unless blood poisoning
developed the prisoner probably would
recover within two. weeks.
County authorities, Jail officials and
counsel for Richeson all refused to COM
ment upon the possible mental processes
which led the accused mar to the deter
mination to injure himself, o what in
iluence his act might have upon future
legal proceedings in his case. District
Attorney Pelletier, who will have charge
of Richeson's trial, set for January Is,
asserted that the trial would begin on
the day assigned.
The district attorneys declaration
that Richeson would be strong enough
to appear in court or January Is was
corroborated by DR.. Howard A. Lothrop,
one of the surgeons who attended the
prisoner.
Although Richeson's counsel would
give no intimation whether the defense
would seek a postponement or take any
other action because of Richeson's act,
they did say definitely that the accused
clergyman had wounded himself in an
attempt at emasculation.

New School of Burglars,

New York.-Graduates of the newe,
school in burglary operated on a safe
in a five and ten cent store in Harlem
and got away with nearly $4,000 in
cash. The men entered by way of q
skylight, drew electricity from a live
wire to operate their drill and with
nitro-glycerine easily blew off the safe
door. Beside the safe were found kid
gloves which the burglars evidently had
used to avoid leaving finger prints, which
recently have led to the arrest and in
dictmens of several alleged burglars.

TO CUT coIIoN
CROP Is PER CENT
SOUTHERN CONGRESS WANTS UNI.
FORM PLAN.
Executive Committee Recommends ina
Farmers Rallies Be Held at Every
School House in Cotton Belt. 4

New Orleans, lathe executive COM
mittee of the Southern Cotton Congress
adjourned after deciding upon a plan
to secure a reduction in the cotton acre
age of the South to the extent of rs
per cent next year and taking steps
to secure the uniform operation of the
plan in all cotton growing states.
The plan adopted is a modification OF
the so-called Crock Hill plan," which
was proposed to the committee by j. g.
Anderson of Rock Hill, S. c., and pro-
vides for securing signed pledges from
farmers through state and county organ
i~zations. In the declaration" adopted,
it is specifically stated that the organ
ization "does not wish to do anything
which may be in violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law"
The state organizations are to call
upon bankers and business men to as
sist the farmers in securing sufficient
organization expenses. Each state or
ganization, headed by q superintendent,
is to appoint committees in each county,
and in turn township committees are to
be organized. Paid c~anvassers are to
be employed to secure signatures OF
farmers to the pledges to curtail acre
age. The form of pledge authorized by
the Farmers Union wal approved and
adopted as the form to be employed in
this work.
The reports on acreage reduction from
the various state superintendent are to
be filed with E. j. Watson, president of
the congress, at Columbia, s. c., by
March 1, 1912, and, after the figures
are compiled, they will be published
throughout the South.
The committee recommended that
farmers rallies, intended to aid in this
movement, be held on January Is next,
at every school house in the cotton belt,
to be followed on January ~ by county
rallies at the various county seats.

Scarcely was the news of her death
known when the newspapers announced
the sudden death at the Chicago Beach
hotel of Margaret Horton Potter, the

Both women were known all over the
world, Miss Baker for the work of her
brush, Mrs. Potter for the work of her
pen.

In Brooklyn q school reported that
on one side 1t had a stone yard from
which issued shrill whistling sounds OF
cutting accompanied by blows Of mai
lets used in chipping the stone. On the
other 1t had a junk shop of Iron from
which came the noise of the continual
dropping of metal. On the third was
q wheelwright where hammering on
the heated rims went on most dis
tressingly. A fourth source Of dis
turbance was the number Of street
vendors who infested the neighbor-
hood; fifth was the passing before the
door of a line of trolley cars. An
other principal wrote that the school
was surrounded by garages and sta
6les. and that the noise incidental

pair shop. and there. undisturbed BY
the police. the noisiest kinds Of work

cipals reported factories. car barns
and taxicab stations as unpleasant

able.
As for the annoyance Of street sing
ers and musicians. push cart peddlers
and cash-clo'es men, German bands

apparently were free from them.

600 M0ROS CAPITULATE
Supplies of 600 Cut OFF Before They
Finally Give In.

Manila.-The Moros, who several days
ago retired to Bud Dajo peak, in the
island Of Jolo, which they had fortified,
capitulated to the American troops. The
Moros numbered 600 and defied an ulti-
matum issued by Brig.-Gen. Pershing,
ordering the disarmament of natives in
the district. Their supplies were cut of,
and they were surrounded in their
stronghold by American infantry. Final
ly, they were forced to yield through
hunger, and marched out and laid down
their arms.
Prior to the surrender a desperate
band of twenty tried to force an outpost,
but were repulsed. Several Moros were
killed, but there were no American cas-
ualties.
