Pictures of Miracle Foun-

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-How Rob

Teheran, was stoned to death by ma

minister to Persia, resigned, who
returned on the Leviathan with a
report Of the ira gedy which he will
submit to the state department at
Washington.
I'm Teheran, as in most Persian
cities" Mr.. kornfeld related, there
are numerous drinking fountains,
where are stationed self-constituted
attendants, who, in the name of a
Mohammedan saint, Abbas, solicit
aims. At the time of the Imbrie
affair, there had been given wide
circulation a story of a miracle that
was reputed to have occurred at
one of these fountains only a few
weeks before.
1.-THE story was that native ap-
preached this fountain to fill a
gourd with water. In the name of
Abbas?' asked the aims solicitor. No,
in the name of Bahai, replied the
gourdbearer. Straightway he was
stricken blind for his blasphemy;
then as he descended to his knees
and ranted with prayer of apology
directed to the saint, Abbas, his sight
was restored.
Thousands Gather at Fountain
THE fountain became g. :~therinG

tied themselves to it and Tapped up

his aid, named Seymour, drove in

ing, and he fled to the barouche and
drove away.
Behind the carriage the infuriat-
ed natives ran shouting; Stop him.
The Infidel has killed four of the
faithful and poisoned the waters of
the fountain!
Although he was not wholly in
formed of events that Immediately
followed, Mr.. Kornfeld said, the gist
of conflicting reports was that the
natives believed Imbrie's camera to
be a weapon which silently dispatch
ed death.
Imbrie's Aid Mauled
'"They overhauled Seymour in an
alleyway where he had taken ref
uge, and mauled him." he continued.
"They pursued Imbrie into a tea
shop; they dubbed and stoned him
until the police rescued him and car
ried him to a hospital.
Gwen then the outraged natives
were not satisfied. They clamored
for Imbrie's life in atonement to
their Mohammedan saint Abbas.
They stormed the hospital, batter
ed down the doors and, finding I'M
brie unconscious upon an operat-
ing table, tore the tiles from the
floor and crushed out his life with
them"
The state department already was
in possession of evidence support
ing the story he related, said Mr..
Kornfeld. AS for reports that I'm.
brie's death was the result of long
drawn conflict between oil interests
of several nations, he declared it was
"fanaticism, not OIL" that lay at
the bottom of the tragedy.
After reporting at Washington.
Mr.. Kornfeld will go to Toledo,
Ohio, to assume charge of syna-

COOLIDGE UPHOLDS
STAND-P PAT POLICIES
IN FINAL ADDRESS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-HaVing
summed up his views on govern
ment administration and campaign
issues in his address before the
United States Chamber of Com
merce, President Coolidge today had
few other engagements on his cal
endar prior to the election and none
calling for an extended speech.
In the statement of his position
on government problems last night,
Mr.. Coolidge said further tax re-
duction is possible and asserted that
the administration is prepared to
continue cooperation in interna-
tional affairs in the interests OF
peace, is ready to investigate agrl-
cultural conditions to place farming
on a profitable basis and is deter
mined to maintain a protective tar
iff. He also reiterated his opposi.
ton to proposals for public owner
ship of transportation and for linn
itation of the powers of the su-
preme court, which he assailed as
Revolutionary"
Addresses Chamber
The address was delivered before
a meeting of the eastern division of
the United States Chamber of Com
merce with business men from
eleven states in attendance and was
radiocast to almost every section Of
the country. Numerous laudatory
messages from all parts Of the coun-
try were received at the White
House early today on the speech,
e. Bascom Slemp, secretary to the
president, reported
The government, Mr.. Coolidge
declared, 'can help to maintain
peace, to promote economy, to pro-
vide protective tariff. to assist the
farmers, to leave the people in pos
session of their property and to
maintain. the integrity of the
courts.
In foreign affairs, he declared in
favor Of constitutional covenants to
outlaw aggressive warfare, confer,
ences to limit ornaments and to
recodify international law and
American adherence to the perma-
nent court OF international justice.
He opposed American representa-
ton at conferences discussing ques-
lions of purely our own domestic
owed to this country by foreign
nations and entry of the United
States into the League of Nations.
Urges Against Change
1T is impossible to escape the
conclusion that the general eco
nomic condition of the country is
good" he said. While business and
agriculture have not fully recover
ed the losses caused by the world
wide depression which always fol
lows war, they are now on fairly
profitable basis. 1t would be natural
to suppose that every well-wisher of
the country would be anxious to
maintain the present established
order of things which have given to
the people of America q position
superior to that ever before held by
any people on the earth
President Coolidge plans to at
tend the four-cent Golden Rule
dinner to be served at a hotel here
tonight under the auspices of the
American Near East relief, which is
sponsoring observance of December
Z as international Golden Rule Sun
day.
The menu, which will be the

Runs Afoul of Law

A raid on 'possum hunting party
promoted by a Sunday school, and a
threat by a county warden to prose
cute the entire personnel, has placed
Peter S. Twitty, state game and fish
commissioner, in a quandary.
This department is charged with
the enforcement of the law, and the
law requires that each member or a
hunting party must have license,
even to hunt opossums, but / don't
want to undertake to prosecute folks
who are good enough to go to Sun
day school, Mr.. Twitty said. There.
lore [ advised the warden to make
the leader of the crowd take out a
hunting license, and let it go al that
for this time
Mr.. Twitty stated that his office
mad received many complaints of
the 1ndiscriminate cutting OF trees
on private property by 'possum hunt
ers, and declared that action will
have to be taken in such cases as
THESE. He also advised 'possum hunt
ers to have state licenses, for fear
they might run afoul of county
Wardens.
