ticles I have read upon him picture
him as very wonderful individual.
In an elegantly furnished modern
house found Abbas Effendi seated
on a sofa, waiting for me. He is
striking figure in any garb. and
when clad in white tarboosh, or
fez, with white cloth wound around
1t, Moslem Style. and a long gray outer
cloak of mohair, like motor coat,
and two white cloaks beneath 1t, he
would attract attention anywhere. He
resembles in appearance and manner,
General Booth of the Salvation Army,
more than any other man recall. He
has the same Roman nose, the same
restless, hawk-like eye, the same silver
beard and shaggy iron gray locks. the
same transparent skin.
AS he speaks Abbas Effendi opens
bushy eyebrows, and looks directly at
one, giving an appearance of unsim-
ulated interest and sincerity. He is
restless person-doubtless those 40
odd years as a prisoner have left
their mark on his nerves-and through
out the interview he wriggled and
twisted his body, sometimes revealing
the folded red bandana handkerchief
upon which he sat; sometimes cooking
his fez to the back of his head, and
again to the side, and sometimes rak-
ishly forward until it rested on the
high bridge of his nose. All the
while he was talking he twiddled in
his long white hands a string of moth
er-of-pearls beads, such as gentlemen
commonly carry in this part Of the
world. Altogether. he looks the part
of a benevolent old gentleman with
considerable force of character.
This positiveness was shown during
the interview. A gentle-faced young
Englishman, who looked filter for ESQ.,
teric discussions than for the football
field, had been doing the interpreting,
Abbas Effendi speaking in Persian.
The most difficult form of interpreta-
ton is that of discussion of abstract
themes, and early saw that the young
mans renderings were inadequate; my
host saw 1t, also; and peremptorily or
dered one other of his attendants to
repeat what he said, sentence by sem
tence.
In the room during the conversation,
besides the two men mentioned. was

eeharists in America.
After the pleasant generallzations
with which the conversation opened,
asked Abbas Effendi concerning the
number of his disciples in America,
for this has been put as high as a
million. He himself avoids the use
of the word disciples" but does not
object to its employment by others. l
could not get him TO give even approx
innate figures; he contented himself
with saying that he had many friends
in America and that there are regular
spiritual gatherings of these in Wash

IDENTIFY with these centers that he con-
ducts his correspondence, for the
names frequently recurred.
AS to the number of Behaists In the
world he was equally vague, but wholly
honest. When said that a friend from
Persia had told me that fully half the
people in Persia are Behaists. he
promptly declared that he thought this
number entirely too high. Equally
candid was he in saying that there are
practically no Behaists in Turkey; the
following is found chiefly in Persia,
and then in India, America, Great Brit
ain, and a scattering In other coun-
tries. Quality" he remarked, "is
more important than quantity; better
five diamonds than a hundred peb-
bles." Abbas Effendi has considerable
aptness in the art of illustration; this
was further shown when we got on the
main track of the meaning OF Behaism.
An All-Inolusive Religion.
"All religions" said Abbas Effendi.
ARE substantially the same; there is
no real difference. The difference is
only in names. There were once q

voice and representative OF God. In
terpreters are great convenience
when there are uncomfortable ques-
tions flying around.
What eehaism Stands For.
A definition of Behaism, which to an
unseItimental westerner seems rather
vague, is the hard thing to secure: so
asked Abbas Effendi, frankly, to give
me a categorical definition OF the dis
tinctive doctrine of Beharism, some
thing with hooks to it, so that it will
grasp the ordinary man" This he pa
tiently and kindly did.
First. Behaism believes that all
men are brothers, and should so act.
Second. Behaism believes that
there should be no strife of religious
creeds. All are equal. No man need
change his religion when he becomes
a Behaist, whether he is a Moslem,
a Christian or Buddhist.
Third. There should be no war
between races or countries. There
should be international brotherhood
and international peace" Incident
ally, the retainer who had done the
interpreting, later told me that Abb
bas believes that there will be a great
war, and then worldwide peace. He
also advocates one language and one
form of writing.
Fourth. Behaism teaches its follow
ers to love everybody. In Persia there
are Jews, Moslems, Zoroastrians, Budd-
hists, Brahmins and Christians, who
meet in love and concord as Behaists.
1t removes fanaticism from all sects." "
And I verify believe that Abbas Ef-
dendi practices his creed, for he is a
gentle, kindly man; who, however, has
no conception whatever of the high in
exorableness of truth. Gen. Lew Wal
lace's aphorism: Better law with
out love, than love without law" would
not appeal to him. None the less, his
high, fine ideals, embodying as they
do. the commonplaces of Christianity,
are in consonance with the spirit OF
the age, and we may expect to see Be-
haism grow and prosper, especially
among sentimental persons. Its claim
to be the final and universal religion
is scarcely tenable. since 1t has not
bones enough to stand the scalpels Of
the scholars.

 The bill also provides power to teach agriculture. domestic science. horticulture and dairying in all dis tricts where such businesses are car ried on. and allows high school boards to select such textbooks as they like without reference to any lists of fered by the state educational com mission.

Helena. Mont. Jan. 21-With the close of the second week the sena % torial deadlock situation is unchanged except for slight gains by Walsh. and equally slight losses by Conrad.

Pray.
 Early next week the deadlock promises to reach a critical stage. The republicans. with three less than sufficient to elect. issued a caucus call which has been signed by all but four of the members. The party lead CTS are confident that these four will he brought into line by Monday night when the caucus will be held.
 The Walsh supporters are also en- deavoring to arrange a caucus to be held on Monday or Tuesday night. They do not count on their ability to get enough members into the caucus to insure his election. but will cir culate a call to the end that they may smoke out" the anti-Walsh members.
