Indicates, However, Vice
Consul Was Somewhat at
Fault for CareIessneSS.
INSTRUCTS LEGATION
TO EXPRESS REGRETS
Teheran Police Wounded in Effort

instructions were received by the
Persian legation from its government
last night to express to the Washington
Government its deep regret over the
killing of Vice Consul Robert Imbrie
by a native mob at Teheran and to
state that the Persian government
will do "all in it's power to fulfill its
duties in this case"
The Persian government, it was
added, is seeking "the guilty persons
in the case and will take all possible
steps to secure their punishment
Due to Carelessness.
At the same time the cable dispatch
to the legation was said to indicate
that the attack on Imbrie and his
companion, Melin Seymour, was pro-
voked by their own carelessness in
going to a sacred place and persist
ing in taking pictures" The police
and soldiers who went to their assist
ance, it was added, were attacked by
the mob, three policemen being
wounded and a soldier dying a few
. hours later of injuries received.
The instructions were received at
the legation while American Govern
ment officials were awaiting further
advices from Joseph S. kornfeld, its
minister at Teheran, concerning the
case. A thorough investigation was
being made, it was stated, but as yet
there was no disposition on the part
of the Washington Government to at
tempt to fix responsibility for the
murder, either on the Persian gov
ernment or Teheran authorities.
Reference by Minister kornfeId to
Melin Seymour as a prisoner in the
consulate was regarded by officials
as presenting no unusual feature, as
he is understood to have been tried
by the United States Consular Court
in Persia for alleged mistreatment of
native workmen engaged Tn or de-
Velopment projects in which he was
interested.
Under the extraterritoriality court
system set up by agreement between
the United States and Persian Gov
ernments Americans are tried by
American courts in Persia rather
than by native tribunals, and this pol
Icy is followed whenever trouble de-
Velops between Americans and ma
tlves in that country. Such a trial
was reported to have been held for
Mr.. Seymour, the sentence of the
court being a years confinement in
the consulate.

GIGANTIC SW|NDLE
OF FARMERS SEEN
Grain and Elevator Corpora

Properties, Is Charge.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, July 1s-
statement declaring that the
$26,000.000 Farmers Grain and Ele-
vator Corporation, with headquarters
in Chicago, which was recently in
corporated in New Jersey, is a "gi-
gantic attempt to fool the farmer"
was issued here tonight by Carl Will
liams, vice president of the National
Council of Farmers Cooperative
Marketing Associations.
Williams made the statement pub
lie just before he left for Chicago
to attend a meeting Of the council.
THE project is widely heralded as
a tremendous step in cooperative
marketing Of grain by farmers.
Actually, however. it has all the ear
marks of a situation in which un-
profitable private elevator properties
may be disposed Of at a profit" Will
liams said.
1T is common knowledge that
terminal elevator warehouses in
Chicago have not been profitable to
their owners for a considerable num-
pCT VI ycdio nave Information that
leads me to believe that one of the
private companies absorbed in the
so-called farmers merger turned in
elevator properties worth approx
mately $2,oo0.000 at an inventory
value several times in excess of that
and there is good reason to believe
that the new corporation has agreed
to pay for all it's terminal facilities
three or four times their actual value.
Beyond all this" Williams as
serted, "the plan Of the new CORPORA
ton itself as to handling grain is
nothing more than a commission sales
agency, which experience has demon
strated is not cooperative marketing
and does not add in any degree to
the price which farmers might re-
ceive."

District Officials Consider Methods
To Reduce Noise by Fire apparatus

chine will not hear it until the truck
Is near him. said the chief
Nearly all of the street cars now
in use have inclosed platforms, max
ing it more difficult for the motor
man to hear approaching engines, the
chief observed.
Officials of the fire department do
not believe It is advisable to slow
down the speed of the apparatus too
much, pointing out that delay in the
early stages of fire may mean loss
of life or increased property damage
Both Commissioner Oyster and the
higher officers of the fire department
say that the problem would be greatly
simplified IL every motorist would be
on the alert for approaching engines
and comply promptly with the regula-
ton requiring vehicles to pull up to the
curb and stop.
The question was raised recently
by a request from one neighborhooc

IMBRIE BURIED IN TEHERAN
Tragedy Explained by Wave of
Hatred of Foreigners.

BY the Associated Press
TEHERAN, Persia, July 19.-Vice
Consul Robert Imbrie of the United
States, who died yesterday after he
had been beaten by a fanatical mob
as he and an American named Melin
Seymour were photographing a sa-
cred fountain, was buried today. the
entire diplomatic corps attending the
funeral
The tragedy yesterday was the
elimination of recent anti-foreisn.
and particularly anti British. activ-
lty which had been evidenced in the
native press and elsewhere, and
which the government appears un-
able to check, owing to the lack of
laws controlling such activities of
the press.
The fountain where Imbrie was
beaten and where Seymour, described
as a driller, suffered serious injuries
at the hands of the crowd is sup
posed by the natives of the city to
have been the scene a few days ago
of miracle, and ever since huge
crowds have been making pilgrim

600, it has wide streets, well shaded
shops where you can get almost any
thing. The Persians have thought
fully arranged to have a number OF
snow covered mountains, ranging up
to $4,000 feet, set up in business just
back of the town, and this helps out
on the scenery and climate. We have
very nice quarters, which overlook,
among other things, a Persian gar

PROVIDENCE, r. l.. July 19.-
Search for '1Toots'' Murray, the Boston
gangster described in affidavits in the
hands of Attorney General Herbert l..
Carpenter as the man who placed the
gas bomb that broke up the filibuster-
extended session of the Rhode Island
Senate on June 19, was being made
rants, it was understood, but with
orders from the attorney general to
find the missing man and get his story,
police detectives went to Rutland,
Mass, where Murray was one of a
group Of men retained to act as guards
over the Republican Senators-who fled
this State after the gas bomb incident.
William c. Pelky, chairman of the
Republican State central committee,
denying the statements by Thomas
Lally of Brooklyn, N. Y, and Matthew
McGovern Of Boston, who made the
affidavits that he supplied the bomb
and was the instigator of its planting
in order to break up the Democratic
filibuster. also went to Rutland late

Denials of any participation in the
alleged plot, or of the acts or knowledge
attributed to them in the affidavits,
were made also by John T. Tooney of
Johnston, named as the man who gave
the bomb to Murray. and by Thomas
McGauley, reading clerk in the House
of Representatives, quoted by Lally and
McGovern as saying that he had re-
fused a request by PeIky to place the
bombs, and that it was then turned
over to Toomey and the assignment
given to Murray.
Attorney General Carpenter, between
conferences today intended to develop
the course of procedure, said it had
been established conclusively that the
bomb was made up Of materials OBJ
tained in the laboratory of the State
Board Of Health at the State House.
He said steps were being taken to
find Murray and get his story; that it
was expected to get today, and that
Murray had disappeared overnight
from a hotel at Rutland.
Whether a grand jury will be called
into special session or bench warrants
requested, had not been determined
definitely, he said.

What is a reasonable amount of
noise for fire apparatus to make re-
spending to alarms?
Commissioner Oyster and Fire Chief
George Watson are trying to work
out the answer to that question in a
way that will minimize annoyance in
quiet residential sections and at the
same time give sufficient warning to
traffic.
The Commissioner believes that in
crowded sections where traffic is
heavy the firemen should let the
weird sirens shrek at full blast.
He also feels that in passing through
a residential section in tho dead
hours of the night they should reduce
the wall of the whistles as much as
possible.
Chief Watson pointed out yesterday
that the increasing number of closed
automobiles Is making 1t daily more
difficult for firemen to get a clear

near here, by Prof. Semenov Zusser,
distinguished Russian archeologist.
Among the articles found in the
tombs was a small linen bag con-
tanning a lady's mirror and believed
to be the forerunner tof the present
day vanity case. In the bag there
also were a rouge stick for the lips
and a charcoal pencil for the eyes.
The bag was found in female grave,
together with tufts of false hair and
a number of silver bracelets, ear
rings, beads and other jewels.
In other tombs were discovered
pottery of exquisite workmanship,
multicolored vases, amulets, knives
and various articles Of bronze and
copper, all in a perfect state OF pres
ervation.
