Death Reported Before

Earlier dispatches from Washing ton announced that Mrs. Imbrie, had reported to the state department the death of Major Imbrie. vice-consul in charge at Teheran. Her message to the department however gave no de- tails. Washington officials, 1t was said were somewhat puzzled by Mrs. Imbrie's message and were awaiting details when they were apprised of The Associated Press dispatch stating that the American consul at Teheran had been killed. Steps were taken at once to ascertain the circumstances through official channels.
 Major Imbrie was vice-constrf in charge of the Teheran consulate dur. ing the absence of Consul Bernard Gotlieb, who Is said to be in the United States on leave.
 Entering the consular service in 1917, Major Imbrie was appointed vice-consul at Petrograd, serving later at Viborg and Constantinople. He was born at Washington in 1884, graduat- cd at George Washington university and later received post graduate de- gree at Yale. He practiced law from 1907 to 1915 when he entered the French army as a volunteer, serving in the world war until 1917.
 Major Imbrie, in December. 1922, while acting as observer for the state department married in Constantino- pie Miss Katherine Gillespie of New Rochelle, N. Y. Miss Gillespie at the time was director of the Near East Relief orphanage. The marriage took l place In the chapel of the Benedictine l monks and came as a surprise to the | friends of the couple. Their romance | had begun year before at Angora, where Miss Gillespie was caring for | Armenian and Greek orphans.

 to him by the conference of La Fol.
 lette leaders to receive his reply tc
 the formal tender of the vice. presi-
 dential nomination voted yesterday
 The letter follows:
 After tsreful consideration I tlye
 concluded to accept the honor your committee so generously conferred on
 me by rendering to me the nomina-
 tion for vice. e-president as the running
 mate of the Hon. Robert M. La Fol lette, candidate for president of the United States.
 T have had no desire as you know. to become a candidate for any office in the approaching election, but have decided that it is my duty to accept your call because 1t appears to me that by so doing can best serve the highest interests of the Anerit an people,
 T regret exceedingly that the dem- ocratic party in the recent netio-al convention in New York so compete- ly lost sight of the fundamental prin ciples of t'mocrecy and ignored the great economic issues Of the prcsett hour. It las wantonly abandoned an opportunity for great public service Alat never before was so clearly with in its reach and 50 certain to lead to success.
 While the farmers of the entire nation are facing bankruptcy, labor unemployed business depressed and a large majority of our citizens suffer- ing from sinister exploitation, the re- publican and democratic parties in convention ignored the call of the un- organized millions who are the vic tims of the present economic disor- ders and chose leaders whose train ing, whose sympathies and whose so- cial and political association are with the great predatory interests.
 Every democratic leader in and out of congress has proclaimed the democratic party free from the taint of Wall street and has blamed with some degree of truth the financial in erests centered there, but whose extend far beyond. for the corruption in the republican ad- and for the discrimina- ory legislation against the common people of America. What are the people to think when these same men n convention assembled, select as the standard bearer of their party an at orney who represents these interests, ! who lives and associates with them Ind who typifes all that big business 3tands for. just as much and just as ruly as does the republican nominee. |
 'In this situation, find myself un- i Lble to support either the republican l who frankly admit their | staIdpat policy, or the | candidate who may claim | n well chosen phrases that he is 2 progressive but whose training and | onstant association belle any such retension.
 Between Davis and Coolidge. there only choice for conservatives to \ iake. The uncontrolled liberal and aggressive forces must look else here for leadership"
