From Montana, Dies
By the Associated Press

HELENA, Mont, May 25.-John
Edward Erickson, 83, three times
Governor of Montana and former
United States Senator, died here
early today.
Mr.. Erickson was the only person
to win election as Montana Cover
nor for three successive terms, serv-
ing as the States chief executive
from 1924 until 1893, when he was
appointed to the Senate after the
death of Senator Thomas j. Walsh.
After serving in the Senate for
about one year, Mr.. Erickson lost
his race for election and retired
from public life to practice law in
Helena.
1t was recalled here last night
that Mr.. Erickson resigned as Gov
ernor and within matter of min
utes was named to the Walsh seat
by the States lieutenant governor,
who automatically inherited his
Office.
This was the first case in Sena-
torial history that a resigning Gov
ernor had been appointed to the
Senate by his successor.
A Senate subcommittee was
named to investigate Mr. Erickson S
appointment, but it was finally de-
cided that this was a State matter.
Mr.. Erickson, native of Slough
ton. Wis, entered politics in 1920 as
chairman of the Montana Demo-
cratic Central Committee.

Writer Finds Tabriz
In Terror Under New
Autonomous Rule
By JOSEPH C. GOODWIN,

BY JOSEPH C. GOODWIN,
Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
TEHERAN, May 25-Tabriz is a
place of fear and suspicion. Its
people talk in whispers and have
forgotten how to smile.
For eight days I walked and rode
through the narrow, winding
streets of this ancient caravan
center of Azerbaijan province,
where postwar opportunists have
established autonomous rule. I
never once lost the feeling that
the people lived in terror.
Stern, questioning looks follow
foreigners. Every one is suspected
of being spy. Residents retire
behind clay walls, and the streets
are silent after dark.
Officials, except those at the top,
pointedly avoid speaking to Anglo
Saxons.
Unseen by neighbors, some whis-
per that 80 per cent of the popu-
lation opposes the "foreign-spon-
sored national government-but the
other 10 per cent are armed.
A telegraph Office porter to whom
I offered a small tip for carrying a
message to another part of the
building dropped the bill to the
floor. To a trusted friend he ex-
planned he was being watched by
an observer" of the Democratic
party. He said he was questioned
for hours about the incident and
asked where he had previously
known this foreigner"
A young Iraqi interpreter was
warned by a friend" in the secret
police to stay away from Americans.
One evening L heard shots under
my hotel window. l saw a gang of
civilian rifemen and soldiers quar-
reling. An army officer appeared
and ordered two unarmed Azerbai-
janians taken away under armed
guard.
A group of American and English
consular representatives in a cafe
were threatened by an armed police
officer, who asked, why do you
laugh at us?" Drawing his pistol, he
said, Some day I shall use this on
you Anglo-Saxons."
A courier of the British consul was
denied admission to an airfeld to
take a plan to Teheran.
Jafar Pishevari, premier OF un-
recognized Azerbaipan, apologized
for what he termed isolated Incl
dents" and said persons responsible
would be punished.

Fifteenth streets NV, near what

Possibly for the convenience of
the official guests and other friends
of learning who "honored the exer-
cises," the first commencement was
not held in the then remote build
ings of the institution. Instead, it
took place in the more accessible
Presbyterian Meeting House on F
street between Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth streets NV, approximately
where the Willard Hotel now stands.
The acadenic procession, however,
formed at the college and repaired
to the place of convocation," the

ginia and "The Spirit of Liberty, u
by Albert Fairfax of Virginia. The
