Into Political Controversy,

TEHERAN, Jan. 21.-A plot to kill
one of the American officials has been
discovered, and this explains the at
tempt against the American, Colonel
Bruce, attache to the treasury gen
darmierie. who was shot at while leav-
ing the barracks January 16.
A former officer of the gendarmierie
has made a confession of the plot, in
which he duplicates himself. The OBJ
iect appears to have been to create
a political incident. in which the United
states would be involved.
Al court martial at Tabriz has been

Own Words a Boomerang

Governor Wilson is quoted as having
said:
I've speak too exclusively of the
capitalistic class. There is another as
formidable an enemy to equality and
freedom of opportunity as it is; that
IS the class formed Dy the labor or
ganizations and leaders of the country
the class reporting only small ma
jority of the laboring men of the
country. quite as monopolistic in
spirit 5 the capitalist and quite as
apt to corrupt and ruin our industries

On another occasion Governor VIII
son was said to have declared that
the purpose of labor unions was TO
drag efficient workers down to the
level of the least efficient and for that
reason he was opposed to them.

today that by action taken late last

Whitelaw Reid, United States ambas-

luncheon at the White House early in
the month expressly told officials that
the duke wished to pay only an un-

Berkeley Faculty Believes Boyn-

Uphold Tradition

"HERE was no sympathy ex>
pressed at the University of
Il California yesterday over the
resolutio~ of Senator Boynton,
passed by the state legislature at its
special session, which was aimed at
the higher criticism of American
and especially revolutionary history.
How did the lack of approval of
the legislative act stop on the east
shore Of the bay. Members of patri-
otic societies of this city, in particu-
lar members and officers of the So
ciety OF the Daughters OF the Ameri-
can Revolution and the Sons of the
American Revolution said that there
should be no restriction on the teach
ing of or research into the subject of
American history.
The monograph of DIR. Eugene Irv-
ing McCorniac, assistant professor of
American history in the University of
California, on the Colonial Opposi-
ton to Imperial Authority During
the French and Indian War; which
is said to be directly in opposition TO
the spirit of the Boynton resolution,
received nothing but praise from his
colleagues on the faculty at the uni
versity.

Attack on Free Speech

Mrs. Moores considered the act cs
the legislature to amount to an at
tempt at abridgement of freedom OF
speech.
George C. Sargent. an attorney. for
mer president of the California Society
of the Sons of the American Revolu-
ton, and O. ID. Baldwin. president Of
the California society, were also op-
posed to restrictive legislation, al
though Baldwin would make strong
plea for the preservation of the old
time traditions of the colonial and
early revolutionary history
Sargent. who is deep student of
American revolutionary history. and
particularly of the period covered by
Doctor McCormacs monograph. de-
clared himself as strongly opposed to
the practice of distorting American
history in the textbook studies in the
public schools.

Praise Is Outspoken

of the department of modern history
of the university and editor of the

in History. of which the McCormac
paper is issued as No. ! of volume l..
was outspoken in his praise of he
assistant professor work and of le
spirit in which it was written.
The monograph. it is declared, hs 5
been received with the highest praise
by historians and colleges throughout
the country.
The feeling expressed by members
of patriotic societies in this city was
that the state legislature should not
seek to restrict freedom of investiga-
tion.
Mrs. J. w. Orr, a club woman who is
prominent in the affairs of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution, de-
clared against restriction. Mrs. c. w.
Moores, former regent of Sequoia chap
ter of the d. A. r., the Oldest chapter
in this city, and Mrs. William c. Mil
Ter, regent of Puerto del Orc chapter,
expressed themselves even stronger.

doubled. The body of Colonel Aston was

Two men have guarded it night and
day the same size of guard that had
watched the tomb since ii was built.
Within few days four men have been
detailed to protect the place from intru
sion and no explanation has been vouch-
safed as to the reason for the increased
precautions.
The custom of guarding the graves of
the Aston dead was inaugurated by John
