American Society Says Per-

Brutal Plane.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 9.-Seeking to
end the persecution Of Bahais In
Persia. Secretary Horace Holley OF
the National Spiritual Assembly OF
American Bahais. from his home in
Eliot. Me-, has directed an appeal to
the new Shah, the Bahais Society
here announced today.
Latest news received by the society
from Persia was that anti-Bahai
persecution, which led to the murder
of United States Vice Consul Robert
w. Imbrie two years ago. had grown
in extent and bitterness. led by par
tisan priests or mullahs. who object
violently to the Bahai principles Of
universal religious cooperation.
Bahai martyrdoms in Persia since
1874, the society estimated. have eX-
ceeded 10000.
1.-The latest example Of supreme
suffering endured by the Persian
Bahais, the appeal said, reported to
us by witnesses of unqueStionable ac-
curacy. was the outbreak in Jahrum.
April last, when eight Bahais were
tortured and slain under conditions OF
unbelievable brutality. Many others

his chances for the presidency, and
on Senator James w. Wadsworth, jr,

mo governor can kiss the papal
ring and get within gunshot of the
White House." declared Bishop Leon
ard who presided at the days sessions.
'and no notification governor ever
will become the leader of a constitu-
tion-loving people"
Charges Breach of Faith.
AS to Senator Wadsworth. Bishop
Leonard said:
I'VE must not let New York State
sell her honor at the altar of gold
and listen to the boastihg of Senator
Wadsworth. The present contest for
the United States Senate in the EN-
pire State is spectacular. Wads
worth has violated the promise given
when the Republican party put
through the enforcement act. No
Methodist, unless he values lightly
the vows Of the church, can remain
loyal to the church and support
Wadsworth at the same time.
II believe the United States church
influence together with that Of those
patriotic societies outside the church
organization, will bring about the de-
feat of Mr.. WadsWorth at the COM
ing election"
Lieutenant Governor Speaks.
Lieut.. Gov. Lowman, without men
tioning the senatorial contest direct
ly, spoke what was taken to be a
yelled Endorsement of Senator Wads-
worth as the regular Republican
candidate:
MY experience has convinced me
that to accomplish anything pOlit-
ically you must work within the
ranks of the dominating political fac
tors. Stick to your principles, ad-
vocate them, try to influence your
associates to accept your point of
view. but don't take your hobby and
go and sit all along on some high
hill or you will be lonesome. One
cannot expect to have ones way all
the time. but by real work you will
make fair striking average. If you
get licked, get ready for the next
fight.
That is why I am n Republican
and will support my party at the
coming election"
Backs Referendum Move.
He took issue with those who claim
that the prohibition referendum to
he voted on in November is bunk"
declaring 1t seems all important TO
him.
"If the people vote in favor of
referendum" he said. lit means that
New York State will do nothing to
help the Federal Government to en-
force the VOlstead act or any other
act in aid of prohibition. The legis-
lature will be influenced greatly and
may refuse to enact an enforcement
law for New York"

Inquiry by Dying.

CHAMPAIGN, ILL.,, August g.
Jacob Michaels, the former police
chief, from whom his successors ex-
pected to obtain the solution Of two
murder mysteries, has sealed his lips
and given a chain Of circumstances
a third death by taking his own life
He died late Saturday night from
two self.infiicted bullet wounds In the
head, fired as officers arrested him
Friday on the charge Of a coroner's
jury that he murdered Mrs. Anna
Carmody, middle-aged business wo-
man.
Her death and that Of Morgan
Knox, negro porter, several weeks
before were under investigation, and
the jurymen suddenly asked that
Michaels testify. He told fluent
story Of his conduct during the night
Mrs. Carmody was slain, but his alibi
was shattered by a cslddy's story that
Michaels and Mrs. Carmody were to-
gether. Michaels went back to shout
to the jury that he had owed Mrs.
Carmody $25 900 and was led from the
room.
While officers searched him he shot
himself, and died without having
added a word to explain his transac-
tions with Mrs. Carmody and hers
with Morgan Knox and other negroes
in real estate deals.
The connection has not been estab-
lished, but it Is the belief Of the
police that there is something which
links the three deaths with the bust
ness dealings among the negro pop
ulation.
When Knox was found dead, Mrs.
Carmody was mentioned. After her
body had been found In turn. also
with a bullet through the temple. the
discovery that Michaels had been in
volved in Mrs. Carmody's financial
transactions brought him into the
case.

KITCHENER STORY
OFFICIALLY DENIED
New Report That His Body
Was Found Far From Scene
of Wreck Denounced.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, August 9.-Official denial
of the reported finding Of Lord kitch-
ener's body on the shores of Scandi-
navia and it's interment there is given
in report on the loss of the cruiser
Hampshire off the Orkneys in 1916.
issued today as a white paper.
The paper goes lengthily into the de-
tails Of the sinking of the Hampshire,
and, as has been officially done many
times before. denies that she was lost
through treachery. It has been con-
clusively proved. the paper says. that
the vessel went down after striking
one or more German mines.
The stories that Lord Kitchener
got away from the ships and that
he reached shore are purely imagi-
nary" 1t continues.
Regarding the rumor that kitche-
ner's body was found on the SCandi-
navian shore. it says, None of the
Hampshire's dead has ever been iden-
tilted and buried on those shores, and
there are good reasons for regarding
it as most improbable that the sea
would have carried them there
The report that the body of Lord
Kitchener, famous British war min
lister and field marshal, had been
found was published in the Referee, a
London paper, Saturday. Frank Pow
er reported to the paper that on a re-
cent trip to Norway he found what
he believed to be kitchener's body in
a cemetery near Stavanger, that he
had 1t exhumed and arranged to re-
turn 1t to England.
Ever since the sinking of the Hamp
shire there have been persistent re-
currences Of the report that Kitch-
ener escaped and was living. un-
known. in some foreign country. There
have also been reports. emphatically
denied by the British admiralty, that
the vessel wa,s sunk by German spies.
Speaking in the House of Com
mons last December. the first lord of
the admiralty, w. c. Bridgeman. said:
THE admiralty have no doubt
whatever that H. M. S. Hampshire
struck a German mine laid by the
us, a minelaying submarine. which
had been sent out to watch the Ork
neys and lay mines in preparation for
the Germans naval sortie, which re-
suited in the battle of Jutland.'
The Hampshire. he declared, had
gone down in from 10 to 20 minutes
after striking the mine.
