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.

Cabinet Victorious
in Strength Test
Nationalists Abstain From

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

ment, the agricultural department,
