Anxious Over Shuster.

Washington, Dec. 27.-The Russian
troops continue to kill Persians In
Tabriz, according to dispatches re

possible to bring about an amicable
settlement.
A cablegram from American Minis
ter Russell, at Teheran, dealt with
plans made to get w. Morgan Shuster
and his family safely out of Persia.

ter's activities in that country will
not be long delayed.

has been dismissed from office by

his chief solicitude was for the well
fare OF his IA American assistants,
concerning which nothing has yet
been decided.
Meetings were held in the various
mosques to protest against the action
OF the government. The minister of
the interior has issued an order that
new, elections shall be held as soon
as possible.

been engaged for term of years by
the syndicate at a salary of $4,000 a
year.
The syndicate has bought from

TAKES NO ACTION
ON MILLER BILL
But Real Estate Boards Attitude
Toward Measure Interpreted a. q
"Knook'-Hally Gives Fine Talk.

A clear and forcerui exposition. VI
the history OF grade separation lesis-
lAtion and litigation was given by
Corporation Counsel Hally before the
Detroit Real Estate board at Its regu-
lar monthly meeting and dinner In the
Hotel Cadillac, Thursday night. II
any doubt existed In the mind OF any
real estate man present as to the
viciousnsss OF the Miller bill now
pending before the legislature. amend
ing the grade separation act, II was
removed before Mr.. Hally finished
speaking. "A resolution OF protest was
proposed, but In lieu Of this, the sec
rotary was instructed TO wire the
speaker OF the house that the board
had taken no action on the bill. This
may be interpreted as knock" In
the sense that the board refuses TO
inuorse the measure, which Is OF spe-
cial interest to the realty dealers.
The most vicious feature OF the pro-
posed Miller bill, as explained by Mr..
Hally, 10 the clause compromising per
sons whose property is affected by q
grade separation for the temporary a.
well as the permanent Inconvenience
suffered. He pointed out that. II the
Miller bill became law, the city
would be compelled to pay persons
who claimed they had been permanr
emily damaged q sum THAI would yield
an annual income SUFFICIENT to make
up the difference between what II cost
the persons or firms In question to do
business before the separation and
what 1t cost them after the separa-
tion.
There is no way the city could
meet testimony a. to such damages"
said Mr. Hally. The property own
ers could place their permanent dam,
ages at any figure they pleased and
we would be powerless TO ref>ite their
claims Then, under the Miller Law,
the court would be compelled 10 al:
rect a verdict In favor OF the claim
ant for the sum asked. All thst would
stand between that man and the city's
treasury would be that mans con-
science.
AS to the temporary ineonventence
suffered, nowhere in the country ere

places of business the work h hedns

WILL RUN COLONISTS'
TRAINS TO PACIFIC COAST
Union Pacific Announces Innovations
In Train and Dining Car Services,
Due To Rush Of Travel.

OMAHA, Neb., March 10.-ln antici
patton Of the heavy travel expected az
the result OF low colonists' fares this
spring. several interesting innovations
in train and dining car services have
been announced by the Union Pacific
railroad. The best and fastest ser
vice ever given for colonists' fares
and a special low-priced dining car
service will be put on by the Union
Pacific.
Seven special colonists'. trains de
luxe will leave Omaha for san Fran
cisco during March and April These
trains will be made up exclusively OF
tourist sleeping cars and dining cars
will be carried on each one. The
schedule OF these trains win be near
ly eight hours faster than any tourist
car service offered today. These
trains will leave Omaha at p. m. on
March IL. II and 10, and April s. 9
10 and IL, stopping only at the mos'
important points and reaching Sar
Francisco on the third morning.
These trains will be equipped will
dining cars, which will serve the bes
OF everything at popular prices.
full and substantial meal may be oh
tanned for so cents or less. A specia
meal consisting of ham, bacon and
eggs. potatoes, bread and butter. will
be served for 80 cents. II passengers
choose to carry their own provisions
they may augment them with hot cot
fee, fruit, ETC., which can be obtained
In the dining cars at low prices. The
universal custom OF charging a mini
mum of % cents for service, has been
done away with on the colonists' spe-
cials. Fruit may be obtained for I'VE
cents. and sandwiches, pie or coffee
at 10 cents.
II is the intention of the Union Pa
ciic to give the highest class and
best possible service at the low col
onists' fares.
