The World War was scarcely over
when the young Shah, then Just 21
began a series of visits to Europe
that followed one another almost an
nually He was d familiar figure al
Nice and Paris and most of the gath
ering places of European society
knew him. He has taken active part
IN the famous Nice festivals. and is
credited with having invented new
dances in French bathrooms. Leaders
Of American society were numbered
among his friends and guests at his
various parties.
The Republican storm mutterinSs
began to grow loud early last year
when "a former ministers signed a
document demanding his abdication.
Reports of dissatisfaction with his
conduct reached him in Europe and
he was variousiy reported as having
treated them with indifference or as
weeping over the threatened loss of
his throne.
In February, this year, the premier
reported in the Mejlss that kilograms
had been sent to the Shah, then on
the French Riviera, asking that he
return to Persia, but without result.
Members of the rulers suite at Nice
said that their master did not intend
to allow affairs of state to interfere
with his pleasure. Neither they said,
did he intend to abdicate. AT that
time, it was asserted, only the oppO-
sition of religious leaders prevented
a determined move for his deposition.
The Shah was the seventh of the
dynasty of the Kajars, who came to
the throne in the person of Agha
Muhammed in 1879 after the over
throw of the Zand dynasty.
The heir presumptive to the throne
was the Shah's younger brother, NIu-
hammed Hassan Mira. 26 years old.

ReZa Khan is undoubtedly in a di-
lemma. since, if he insists on con-
tinuance of the shahdom, he Will be
asked to produce the real Shah.
whereas if he stands for republic
he will arouse the antagonism of all
the shahist factions. If he stands for
the Shahs job himself. he will unite
all the highbrows, of which all Per
slams, even owners of a goat and a
horse. consider themselves members.
II is the impression in influential
circles that the best thing for Persia
is to let ReZa be the boss, either as
president or shah or dictator, until
he is poisoned, stabbed or shot, which
is the normal fate of the strong man
in Persia-whereupon more chaos will
ensue until another strong man
arises. 4

Desperate Pace Described.

For II hours the American Trader
raced under forced draft through hur
rfcane weather to the assistance of
the crippled Elven. For hours she
stood by and, finally at dawn on
October 26, lifeboat was launched.
The little craft made three trips be
fore all the men on the sinking vessel
were saved.
Capt. Fish had no complaint 10
make about the lack of fanfare ac-
companying his arrival. His only re
gret in connection with the rescue
was that he had not been able to
offer the weary and numbed seamen
of the Elven any stimulant stronger
than coffee, he said.
The Elven's first S. o. S. was sent
on the night OF October "a, after "a
titantic wave had smashed her life

Two Ships Nearer.
Two ships We're nearer than the
American Trader. but they could
make no headway in the storm, SO
Capt. Fish turned and steamed 175
miles. Arriving In the vicinity OF
the Elven, the next day the Ameri-
can Trader cruised all day looking
for her, but the storm had reduced
visibility to about mile. md with the
high seas that were running, it was
not until 10 o'clock at NIGHT that The
helpless freighter was sighted.
Meanwhile the E.lVena wireless
operator had stuck 10 his instru
ments though the ICY water covered
his feet and SO chilled him that his
stiff fingers could scarcely operate
his sending key. Below decks Chief
Engineer Lars Kristofrersen and re
lays of fremen were keeping VI
steam and working the pumps, in
imminent danger of being drowned
where they stood.
From 10 O'Clock on the 25jh until
o'clock on the morning of the 10Th
the American Trader stood by. The
huge seas showed no promise of sub.
siding, so as the sunless dawn broke
a boat was launched and the rescue
was made III three perilouS trips
across the mOuntinous seas.

LONDON NOT SURPRISED.
Deposition Of Young Gaiety. y.Smitten
Shah Expected by British.

BY Gable to The Star and New York World
LONDON, October 3I.-The news
from Teheran that the Shah of Persia
has been deposed by a. vote OF 80 OF
the IS members of the Parliament
does not surprise diplomatic circles
here, as it has long been known that
Reza Khan, the premier, has been
aiming at a dictatorship, and this is
confirmed by reports that ReZa has
been appointed head of the provisional
government.
1t is not known whether the turn
Of events viii lead to a monarchy or
republic being formed, as, ironically
enough, the bolshevist agitators, who
are the natural opponents of the Shah
in this case, supported him against
Reza Khan, knowing that the latter
would be stronger than the boy Shah.
Ever since the boy Shah escaped
o the Gaieties of Paris life there has
been d strenuous battle between
would-be shahs and dictators, with al
bearing in mind the natural prefer
ence of the Persian for an autoCracy
ReZa Khan tried democracy without
result. and hence, a couple of years
ago, became an ardent supporter of
the Shah in order to circumvent the
bolshevists.
Shy Of Reza Khan.
National feeling, while preferring a
strong man, is somewhat shy Of
Reza's claims, since he is admittedly
member of "lowbrow society" and
Persians prefer "A dictator from the
highbrow class. However, since Reza
was promoted TO commander-in-c chief
of the Persian army by British
general his rule has been su-
preme He added to his personal
ability the suggestion that he is sup
ported by the British. Actually the
British have not interferred in Per
sian politics except to express the
wish for continuation of the shah.
DOM but 1t IS obvious that they would
prefer a strong government at Tehe-
ran, especially il it were controlled
by a strong pro-Britisher like ReZa.
The Shahs living the gay life in
Paris and the Riviera-at present he
cannot be found, but Is probably on
the Riviera-and disinclined to return

he will not return, although Reza has
strongly urged him to in order to
save the throne.

Neighbor Heard Woman's Shrieks-- Stories Of Party Told-Body
 Not Fully Identified

New Haven. March 17.-State po- lice were today summoning wit nesses for an inquest by Coroner Mix in connection with the death of Leonard Dean whose body it is believed was the one found in the debris of cottage owned by his parents which was burned at Mo- mauguin early Sunday.
 Medical Examiner Holbrook who said today that the body of Dean who Is missing had not been posi- lively identified. He said he was not sure that the young man burned might have met with foul play.
 Miss Marian Schollhorn who lives next to the Dean cottage said today that a party of young men and young women were at the Dean cot tage last Saturday night. She said some of the party left the cottage and that she heard Horrible shrieks" of awoman on the beach. Later, she said, a man left the cot tage, picked up some one on the beach and carried them into the house. This was several hours be- fore the fire.
 The body believed to be that of Dean was found under the remains of a piano in the cellar of the burn ed cottage.
