GRAND JURY MAY
PROBE DALTON ELECTION

DALTON. Ca. Dec. 26.--The grand
jury, which meets here next Monday
morning. will. in all probability. be
called upon to investigate a number OF
Irregularities connected with the re-
cent municipal election held here. This
fact came to light here Monday after
noon. following the notice of Judge j..
A. Longley that he will contest the
election for city recorder.
The hints of wholesale prosecution
however, come from the other side OF
the contest. NJ c. Tarver. represent
ing John r. Tarver. who was named
recorder by a plurality of one over
Judge Longley. in a statement hints at
certain matters the grand jury may
be called upon to investigate" but with
the hint, he has refused to make any
further statement other than to say
that interesting developments are in
store.
In his notice of contest served on
John r. Tarver. Judge Longley alleges
that Is men who voted for Tarver in
the first ward were not qualified. some
being, he alleges, not registered; others
non-residents; others tax defaulters,
and still others who had not. reached
the voting age. fh

DYNAMITE CHARGE
DESTROYS STATION
Explosion StartIes East Point.
Police Investigating-BoyS
Responsible?

Cheney's Station. a little waiting
room at Chattahoochee avenue, in Eas.
Point, was completely destroyed by a
terrific explosion of dynamite about
7:45 o'clock Monday evening. Ten win
dows were Jared out of Phillips &
Crumley's general merchandise store
and the adjacent residence and large
sign was demolished by the explosion.
The charge was evidently planted
just under the sign, which adjoins
the little waiting room, which is about
10 feet long and s feet. wide.
The dynamite charge is believed to
have been planted by mischievous boys,
celebrating Christmas. Citizens of East
Point, however, were enraged over the
explosion, which would have been dam
gerous for anyone passing within 20
feet of the station and the police OF
the little town are now investigating
the occurrence. The total damage
caused by the explosion is estimated at
$500.

800 WERE SLAUGHTERED,
SAYS PERSIAN DISPATCH
Much Conjecture in London
Over Declaration of Martial
Law at Teheran
(By Associated Press. }


LONDON, Dec. 26.-The proclamation
of martial law at Teheran. following
the dismissal of w. Morgan Shuster by
the Persian cabinet and the fragment
airy reports received as to bloody
massacre by Russian soldiery at Resht
are causing serious apprehensions here.
According to latest advices. the main
trouble occurred last Sunday, when
victims at Resht are said to have num-
Nbere, 500. including some women ana
children Direct dispatches from Te-
heran make no reference to these Sc
rious casualties and a report from the
Russian consul at that point states or
der is now restored, although he is pre-
pairing for further outbreaks.
The strategic point of Tabriz, $50
miles to the northwest of Teheran, is
another center of constant and serious
collisions between Russian and Per-
sian elements. The small force of Rus
slams that has been stationed there for
some time has been recently rein
forced.
The Russian troops have come into
contact on several occasions with the
populace. and one dispatch received
says the Russian artillery swept the
streets, while another. through Rus
sian sources. says that a condition OF
anarchy exists, even the banks beins
without adequate military guards to
protect their funds. The latter is evl.
IDENTIFY suggestion on the part of the
Russians that a strong military force
is essential to safeguard vested proper
ty in Persia and as giving an explana-
ton for the decisive effect of force by
Cossacks at various points.
