England Urges Persia to Accede t <
Russian Demands.
Teheran , Dec. 1. The national connell -
ell has rejected the Russian ultimatum
> > y a big majority. The foreign min
ister has resigned.
The vote of the national council on
the objection of the ultimatum was
cast In open session. A subsequent
aeorot ( dttlni ! of the members was
practically unanimous.
A cable from Hrltlsh Minister Sir
Edward ( Sroy was presented to the as
sembly during Its sitting. The dispatch
urgently advised compliance with the
Uiisslan demands , but some of the
members pointed out that England's
advlco heretofore only led to Persian
humiliation. They believed that Sir
Edward Grey had been misinformed ,
and emphatically asserted that Rus
sian Injustice had been Intolerable.
They thought that reslstuuce on the
part of the Persian government to the
Russian demands would awaken for
eign attention and load to an Impar
tial inquiry. Compliance , on the other
hand would ho construed as a sign of
abject cowardice and would mean na
tional suicide.
Former Governor Assassinated.
\ Alia Kd Dowloh , former governor of
the province of Kara , was assassinated
as he was leaving his residence today.
Three men participated In the crime.
Speaker after speaker declared that It
was impossible for 1'orsla to sign
away her own independence. If Rus
sia should wrest It from her that
would bo God's will.
A deputation of members of the na
tional council waited on W. Morgan
Sinister before the vote was taken in
the parliamentary session. The Amer
ican treasurer-general begged thin to
consult only the Interests of their
country and not to consider him. The
national council registered its refusal
to comply with the terms of the Rus
sian ultimatum an hour before the
time limit of the ultimatum.
In the meanwhile largo silent crowds
tlironRc.il around the precincts of the
parliament house waiting for the ver
dict of the deputies. The Russian
minister here , M. I'oklowsky Koziela ,
notified the Persian government that
the mother Shuah ex-Sultanch and all
her property would henceforward be
placed under the protection of Russia
In compliance with a request which
she had telegraphed to the emperor
and empress of Russia.
Washington , Dec. 1. W. Morgan
Sinister , sr. , father of the young Amor

conversation.

American Educational society to use

case today District Attorney Fred
ericks asked for a continuance until
2 p. in. lie did not state the reason ,
holding to the comment that he had
never asked a continuance before. The
eqnest was granted.
Rumors fell thick and fast that the
district attorney's office was investi
gating a reported charge that one of
the sworn Jurors had been tampered
with before entering the box. It was
said that a ro-oxanilnatlon of the men
in the box would bo asked for by the
prosecution. This theory gained wide
credence and Chief Detective Samuel
1 , . Brown admitted that such a tiling
was not Impossible at this time.

REIGN OF TERROR ON RIVER NOW
CHECKED , ON SHORE THERE
IS CHAOS.
Hong Kong , Dec. 1. Although the
reign of piracy on the river has been
checked by the vigilance of the guards
on board the river steamers , the situa
tion on the shore is utterly chaotic.
At towns and settlements along the
river the most deplorable outrages are
occurring. Even in Canton the mili
tary regime has proved itself wholly
inefficient. For several days armed
bands of robbers and hoodlums have
gone abroad looting shops and houses.
Today five ruffians , bristling with re
volvers , walked boldly into a bank in
a southern suburb and got away with
$5,000 in cash. About the same time a
band of armed natives blustered into
the open market and boldly plundered
two prominent shops before the eyes
of hundreds of panic-stricken onlook
it ers. They secured several hundred
dollars in money and then walked off.
The local police , disarmed , watched
the spectacle helplessly.
Street fighting goes on continuously
In all parts of Canton , and these killed
or injured include many innocent by
standers. The Hong Kong govern
ment has adopted the sternest meas
ures to repress all outbreaks of riot
ing here. One unusual piece of legis
lation adopted at the request of the
police permits the flogging of prison
ers for minor offenses against the
peace. There have been no develop
ments of importance on the river. The
steamers all proceed under guard and
keep a constant watch against attack
by pirates.

WALLS OF LOS ANGELES JAIL
HAVE AT LEAST ONE EAR.
PRIVATE TALKS ARE SECURED
Confidential Interviews Between Pris
oner and His Close Relatives or
Others , Are Transmitted to Room
Above Jail , and Transcribed ,
Los Angeles , Cal. , Dec. 1. A bit of
wisted wire , dangling slantwise from
.11 upper window , KJu'to-nn Investiga-
lon by counsel defending James 15.
IcNamara , which convinced them that
he walls of the Los Angeles county
ail have ears , or , anyway , one ear ,
rVhlch has heard many confidential
pooches. The wire runs from a win-
low in an unoccupied room of the
bird floor of the jail through to an
other unoccupied room on the second
loor.
Visitors entertained by Ortle E. E.
tlc.Manigal , who Is perhaps the state's
nainstay , in an attempt to show that
McNamara caused the death of Chas.
,1. , Haggerty by blowing up the Los
Angeles Times building , saw him In
he upper room. A detective and per-
imps a stenographer were In the lower
one , but for all practical purposes the
wire transferred them into the very
presence of persons who talked to Me-
Manigal while the grand jury was In
session. This Is the declaration of
the defense , which , to bo sure , has not
niicli documentary evidence except a
picture of the dangling wire , but It
also is virtually conceded by the state.
"I should not wonder a bit if you're
right , " said District Attorney Freder
icks , who asked if a discphone had
been used in this manner.
"There should be nothing unusual
about that. Ever see one ? There's
just a round disc attached to the win
dow shade or against the pane , ot
anywhere no one would notice it
and the wire leading to some othei
place. It's Interesting. "
What this device has meant to the
state was manifest upon the selection
of the names of those who visited Me
Manigal. It Includes Mrs. McManlga !
who , according to her husband , coerc
ed him by threats of separation intf
writing a note asking Clarence Dar
row , chief of counsel for the defense
for an Interview , and that this askinf
that this interview was transacted 01
the floor below almost before Mrs
McManlgal was out of the jail. Me
Manigal a short time later repudiatei
the request.
It was when McManigal's uncle , !
railroad engineer , visited him , how
ever , that the defense had Its firs
inkling upon what had been arrangec
by the state. The uncle was takoi
before the grand jury and emcrgci
the most astonished man In town.
"They asked about things I said ti
Ortie that I never spoke before in m ;
life , " declared to his friends. "Thing
that I said In that room and nowher
olso. "
How much more evidence the stat
gathered in this manner its counse
will not say.

lerles and several pickpocket thefts

iroportlons. In only a few of these
ases have arrests been made.
The thieves worked with apparent
mmunlty In all parts of the city ,
siarcely a precinct being without retorts -
torts of at least one robbery. The
greatest number came from the south
side residence district and the down
town stations. The total burglaries
mil holdups this year has run far
larger than for hist year. Each year
residents have become accustomed to
i marked Increase In crime , as the
cold weather starts and the criminal
classes who have spent the summer on

IMMIGRATION FALLING OFF
New York , Dee. 1.- Herbert Francis
herwood , in discussing the ebb and
low of Immigration in the Review of
loview-8 for December , say that little
mention has been given to the fact
hat in the course of Hie year which
s just closing a marked change oc-
urred In the movement to this conn-
ry.
"Hotween Jan. 1 and Sept .10 , 1911 , "
ie said , " loO.G'O
. persons landed on
our shores from the third-class cab-
ns of the trans-Atlantic liners. While
some ardent rostrlctionlsts assert that
his total was largo enough , yet It was
ess than two-thirds the number that
amo to us in the same class in the
. ourso ot the corresponding period of
ast year. The exact falling off was
d. J78.12-1 , or 38.18 percent.
10Ml "Perhaps a knowledge of the fact
Ml .hat a number of those who sailed
) astward in the steerage in the case
) f the nine months which closed on
Sept. 29 , was 300,040 , or CC.55 percent
of these who entered , and an increase
over the number who went to Europe
In last year of 45.47 percent , will cause
our restrictlonist friend to go to the
1C length of throwing up his hat in his
ct enthusiasm. "
00 Mr. Sherwood says :
lie "The immigration to the Dominion
Ho of Canada for the first nine months of
this year , in contrast to that of this
country , was greater than for the corresponding -
Icto responding period of last year , but the
to ebb was only 18.12 percent of the
ly flow. This , it will bo recalled , is
ks about 12 percent below the average
idnt for the United States. It , however ,
nt was G percent higher than that for
ntk
k the corresponding period of 1010
he "Only recently has the ebb and flow
in of Immigration been accepted as a
register of the condition of the labor
market In the United States , or has it
lit been recognized as obedient to the
les law of supply and demand. Wo now
es realize that this country has tapped a
n < supply of labor which Is sufficiently
IV automatic In the expansion and con
1 traction of its current to meet the
1et
et needs of a laud subject to such fluc
tuating requirements as our own. "
