DAVIS BEGINS WORK
UPON ACCEPTANCE
Much Foreign and Domestic
Information to Be Digested
by Nominee.
By the Associated Press.


DARK HARBOR. Me, July al
Preparatory work on his address ac-
cepting the Democratic presidential
nomination was started today by
John w. Davis in a temporary work
shop, which has been set up in the
studio building of Charles Dana Glib
son, his host on Seven Hundred Acre
Island near here.
A mass of data on foreign and
cred together at New York was
taken to the Gibson home by his
secretaries. and Mr. Davis will digest
this before starting to map the ad-
dress out in his mind. He already
has discussed many phases of the whole
subject matter with party leaders.
Lunch and Golf Engagements.
The candidate had engagements
for lunch with Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
L. Polk at their summer home in
said he, already felt 100 per cent bet
ter physically than he did upon his
arrival here Saturday noon.
He expects to have his speech out
lined in memorandum form when he
leaves early next week for New
York. Upon his arrival there, he will
put it in finished form.
His friends predict vigorous
handling of the major problems of the
day, including foreign affairs and
farm relief as we'll as other domestic
questions. Honesty in government,
they believe, will be a paramount
subject.
Mr. Davis attended services yester-
day at the Church of Christ, Epis-
copal, overlooking Penohscot Bay. He
returned by boat to the Gibson home,
where he remained in seclusion the rest
Of the day.
Learns Of Wheeler Acceptance.
With a single telephone line and a
twice day steamer service providing
the only communication with the main
land, news of events in the outside
world merely trickles into this place.
Consequently, it was not until yester-
day that Mr.. Davis learned that Sena-
tor Burton X. Wheeler of Montana had
accepted the invitation to become the
vice presidential candidate on the ticket
with Senator Robert M. La Toilette.
1t apparently proved no surprise to Mr..
Davis.

TEHERAN, Persia. July 20.-De-
velopments in the investigation into
the killing of Robert Imbrie, Amer
lean vice consul held to indicate that
parts at least of the Persian govern
ments protective forces failed in
their duty of defending his life when
he and Melin Seymour, another Amer
ican. were attacked by a fanatical
mob last Friday, have caused anxiety
here and the diplomatic body is ad-
dressing a serious note to the Persian
government, it was stated today.
The assault occurred in crowded
thoroughfare, and although it is de-
and soldiers were present, it does not
appear that shot was fired in de-
fense of the victims. 1t Is even
alleged that soldiers formed a part
of the mob. The autopsy on the
body of Mr. Imbrie confirmed the
report that there was a saber cut on
his head, and those acquainted with
the equipment of the defensive forces
say that only the military police
carry SaberS.
Many Arrests Made.
The Mejiis, the Persian Parliament,
in open session expressed its sor-
row and profound horror at the crime
and urged the government to pursue
the investigation relentlessly. Many
arrests have been made among civil
ians.
The latest details of the killing of
by the mob occurred about II am. on
Friday, when the American official
and Seymour were driving past a
fountain which is reverenced by masses
of Persians daily and which at
the moment was surrounded by a
throng of worshipers. The Amer
leans alighted from the carriage 4
short distance away and Mr.. Imbrie
held up a camera to photograph the
scene. The crowd objected and surg
ed toward the Americans. who, seeing
the menacing attitude of the throng,
jumped into their carriage and drove
away. The crowd followed. shouting
imprecations and accusing the two
Americans of being Bahais (members
of a universal religious movement
which originated in Persia three
quarters of a century ago) and of
poisoning the water of the fountain.
Overtaken at Barracks.
The carriage got away quickly, but
the uproar spread rapidly and at the
entrance to hte CoSsack barracks the
carriage was overtaken by man
on a motor cycle and forced to halt.
carriage and it is alleged that some
of the soldiers also interfered to pre-
vent the Americans escape.
Vice Consul Imbrie was dragged
out on one side of the carriage by
the mob and Seymour<on the other.
Mr.. Imbrie valantly defended him
self with his cane until he was
struck on the head by a military
sword. He, attempted to rise, but was
knocked down again by huge stone,
which broke his jaw. Meanwhile
Seymour was struck from all sides
and dragged into the Cossack parade
ground.
A detachment of police finally sue
ceeded in getting both of the injured
men into an automobile and took
them to the police hospital The
crowd followed and broke into the
building. smashing doors and windows,
and committed further assaults on Mr..
