S. Plans Protest Note to Persia Inadequate Police Protection Held Responsible for Slay ing of American Vire Consul. Letter Carries Warning Bf r>lTRMl Servlre. Washington. July ^26.—In protest, against the murder of Maj. Robert Imbrle, American vice consul at Te heran by a fanatical mob, the De partment of State will send a formal note to the Persian government Mon day. The - note, which has already been drafted, Is understood to declare that the government of Persia has neglect ed to maintain proper police protec tion In the public streets and that the unfortunate incident of Major lmbrie's death comes as a direct con sequence of this inadequacy in the country's police system. The note Is believed to give a hint of warning by claiming that this was not the first instance- where insuffi cient protection was afforded citizens of this country by the Persian au thorities. 'Tnpleasant Incident*.'’ It is said that there have been un pleasant incidents before and that at Brevious times American citizens have been in danger. It is felt that these other circumstances finally led up to the murder of the vice consul. By accusing the Persian govern ment of Insufficient poliee protection and. therefore, of being unable to maintain order in the public street, this government would he placing the responsibility for lmbrie's death entirely with the Persian authorities. Since the murder took place, the American minister at Teheran, as sisted by Persian officials, has been carefully watching all the incidents leading up to the assault. It was the desire of this government to be entirely cognizant of all the circum stances of the murder before taking any definite stand and declaring It self officially. City I'nder Martial I jiw. During the time this investigation has been in progress, it was learned that the rity of Teheran had been placed under martial law and this government was led to believe that all possible protection was now be ing given Americans and other for eigners in Teheran. For this reason the Investigation was continued for the purpose of determining the per s ins responsible for the crime. It is thought that the State de portment's decision to protest to Per sia was caused by a report from Jo seph S. Kornfeld, the American min ister. telling how Major lmbrie's wid ow bad been insulted In the streets of Teheran. According to this re port a Persian youth tore Mrs. Im btie's veil and spit at her.

By KARL H. VOX WIKf.AM) I ni.rn.iil Srr.ire staff ( orrnpondrnt. Berlin. July IS.—The Marx Strese mann cabinet came out with flying colors today in a test of strength be fore the reichstag in which Luden dorff racialists tried to overthrow it over the liatmi program. The racialists demanded a vote of no confidence" but were defeated 172 to ti2. The most significant thing about the test was that the national ists who, hitherto, have voted against the cabinet, this time abstained from voting at all. They asserted they had stated their conditions for negotiating at London and at this time reserved their final decision until the London conference had completed its work. This is interpreted as the beginning »f the nationalist re treat from op position to the Dawes plan. The vote today followed a two-day assault on the government by opposition parties. Only the communists voted with Lud rndorff followers against the govern ment. The vote is tantamount to a man date to the rablnet to go to London and negotiate Tor the best terms pos slble.

Compensation Reduced Charles W. Bryan, governor of Ne* • braska, candidate for vice president on the democratic ticket, has made a record for caring for working men and working women, injured while at work, that will be thoroughly Inves tigated by The Omaha Bee. There is presented today a general review of this record. From time to time actual details in Individual cases will be presented. Each one will speak for Itself. For years Governor Bryan has been capitalizing his interest in the men and women of the group of toll. He has wept over 'their condition, and has bemoaned the fact ihat “there is no man deputed of the king to hear" them. But when Charles W. Bryan had his great opportunity to stand as the champion of the group of toll In fact instead of In words, he failed la mentably to measure up. The facts are to be found in a brief history of the labor department of Nebraska. For many years the fiepartmcnt of Labor and Industrial Statistics of Nebraska was little more than a place in which to seat some political worker as a reward for his activities. It was not until 1909 that the labor department’s an nual appropriation reached the $5,000 mark. Only once between 1559 and 1917 were more than three persons employed In the department. Function Begins in 1919. During all these years the duties Imposed upon the department grew in number, hut not until 1919 was It made possible for the department to function in the interests of the men and women It has supposed to serve. The compensation law de manded that if injured persons were to be protected and to receive what the employers were paying insur ance premiums to secure for them, the department should be put upon an eoual footing with other depart ments. It demanded a force suffi cient to investigate accidents, protect the interests of the workers and se cure what the employers were cheer fully paying for — compensation tor the Injured. Governor McKelvie In 1915 made the labor department the equal in Importance of the banking depart ment, the agricultural department, the finance department, the Depart ment of Public Welfare and the De partment of Public Works.
