SHAH'S COSSACKS WIN OUT
JeTeat Band of Revolutionists With
Small Loss.
TBHBRAN, July 4. A skirmish has oc
curred at Shahabad. 16 miles to the north
west of Teheran, in which revolutionists
were defeated by the shah's Cossacks.
Twelve of the revolutionists were killed
while the Cossacks lost one officer and
three men.
ACTION IS HELD SIGNIFICANT
; Shah's Cause Not Regarded as Near
Collapse.
LONDON', July 6. A dispatch to the
Times from Teheran says that 360 Cos
sacks took part In the fight at Shahabad
with two Creuzot qulcktirers and one
Maxim. The number of revolutionists is
not known.
The action, says the correspondent of
the Times, Is significant because It seems
to dispose of the doubt as to whether
the Russian officers are prepared to fight
and he suggests that the Shah's cause Is
not so near a collapse as has been gen
erally predicted.

TEACHERS QUIT FIELD
EDUCATIONAL CRISIS LOOMS IN
ORANGE FREE STATE.
New Law, Requiring Instruction
Given in Both Dutch and Eng
lish Causes Trouble. '
JOHANNESBURG. Julyy 4. (Special.)
An educational crisis is threatened In
Orangia. As was predicted, a great deal
of friction has been created, and general
dissatisfaction has been aroused among
the British section of the population over
the working of General Hertzog's act,
which provides that instruction must be
given partly in Dutch and partly in Eng
lish, and that teachers must be proficient
In both languages. Rigid insistence upon
the letter of the law has brought the
Education Department into collision with
various local authorities, and so strong Is
the feeling that it has been suggested that
in the interests of their children the Eng
lish colonists should set up schools of
their own. The situation is thus summed
up by a Cape journal:
The act has not been in force five
months, and already it Is fulfilling the
gloomiest predictions. Expiring racialism
has been fanned anew into flame; some
of the best teachers are quitting the serv
ice in disgust, and poor substitutes are
taking their place; confusion has been
Introduced into school classes, and the
children are sufferers; the work of the
teachers, the school committee and the
Director of Education has been rendered
extraordinarily difficult, and both Dutch
and English-speaking parents have been
forced into a condition of discontent which
threatens to bring about just such an
other school disruption as retarded educa
tional progress for some time under the
Crown Colony government."
It is added that at present there are
not nearly enough certified teachers of
fering themselves for vacancies in the
colony, and that the average standard of
attainment of the staff is falling Instead
of improving year by year. The imported
teachers, mostly English and Scottish,
who were the backbone of the service, are
gradually being lost. In five years their
numbers fell from 240 to 90. Resignations
are constantly occurring, and In one year,
according to the last report of the Di
rector of Education, more than one
fourth of the entire staff left the service.
SUBSTITUTE FOR DIABOLO
German Invents New Game Much

PARIS. July 4. (Special.) A new game
of the dlabolo type is springing into fa
vor here, and aa the American patents
have been takes out, "la funda" will no
doubt be seen aafore long in America-.
"L. funda" is & aew form, of sling., as
Its name shows: " A little bag on a wooden
framework is fixed on a swivel . into a
sort of tennis racket without strings or
top. The bottom of the bag is open, and
two strong india-rubber bands prevent
the ball, a tennis ball, from falling
through. The game is to sling the ball
from. .one player to another or up into
the air. to be caught by the same player
at will.
It needs a certain amount of skill' and
Is certainly less dangerous and Just as
healthy as diabolo. The inventor- is a
young- German named Seeger, who in - a
demonstration which he gave the other
afternoon threw a tennis ball higher than
the chimneys of a seven-story house andT
caught it again without apparent effort.

MANILA. July 5. Dan C. Worcester,
Insular Secretary of the Interior, re
turned today from his annual visit and
tour of Inspection among the wild moun
tain tribes of Northern Luzon.
He reports that excellent result have
thus far attended the efforts of the Philip

among the mountain tribes and to bring
to an end the inter-tribal wars that have
kept the interior in a constant state of
ferment and unrest.

Secretary's report, although they were
among the most frequent offenders be
fore the present campaign was under

mountain men were exceedingly fond of
athletic competition. In furtherance of
his desire to bring the tribes into more
friendly relations with each other, he
held a series of fiestas and field meets,
encouraging the natives to enter in the
contests. His plan was well received and
members at tribes that have been at war
with each other for centuries engaged in
races and strength contests on friendly
terms.
The tribes are now engaged in con
structing mountain trails between their
settlements, the larger towns planning to
build highways for this purpose. The
mountain men are engaging more general
ly in farming and weaving and other
peaceful pursuits, and the whole section
Is more orderly and less turbulent than
it has ever been known to be before.

DIRECT PRIMARY
i New 'York Legislature Sends
Junket Party to Learn
of Oregon Idea.
! RABBI WISE HELPS HUGHES I
Governor and Supporters Begin
Educational Campaign, hut Par
ty Leaders Give Little Serious
Heed to Reformers.
BT LLOYD F. LONERGAX.
NEW YORK. July 4. (Special.) A
state-wide campaign is on, designed to
bring the question of direct nominations
to the front, but up to the present time it
has failed to arouse the enthusiasm of
the rank and file of the voters.
Governor Hughes has taken a strong
position in favor of the "reform." Much
to his surprise he has found that many
of his former friends have declined to
follow him in his crusade.
The machine leaders have made the
Governor's fight an excuse for a Junket.
A joint legislative committee has been
appointed to investigate the entire sub
ject of direct nominations. Now that the
weather is warm they are "Investigating''
in New England. Later they are going
to Seattle, the Fair, of course, being a
mere Incident. They will probably visit
Yellowstone Park en route, and may
drop in at Portland.
Anyway they have planned a most in
teresting and expensive itinerary, and
will undoubtedly absorb much valuable
information concerning the United States
before they return to Albany. All that
the taxpayers are sure of is that they
will have big bills to pay. and that the
report of the committee will be In line
with the decision of Herbert Parsons.
Timothy L. Woodruff and United States
Senator Elihu Root particularly Root.
Pressure Used on Candidates.
The Governor does not expect any as
sistance from the Legislative committee,
but pins his hopes on the work of the
"State Direct Primary Association" which
was brought into being in the closing
days of the Legislative session. Its mem
bers then advocated the enactment of a
direct nomination law, having the gen
eral features of the defeated Hinman
Green bill. Since the law-makers went
home the "S. D. P. A." has been busy
preparing for its "state-wide campaign."
William H. Wadhara?, a former Judge
of the City Court, is president of the as
sociation. Judge Wadhams was named
to fill a vacancy on the bench, due to
death. He was nominated for a full
term, but lost out, and even failed to
make an impressive run.
Judge Wadhams, in his new sphere of
activity, believes the best thing to do
is to bring influence to bear upon candi
dates for the Legislature who will be
named this Fall. He declares that all
the Influence of-the organization will be
swung against those candidates who re
fuse to pledge themselves to support a
direct nominations bill.
This will not be done by the associa
tion as a state league, but by the county
organizations which are being formed as
a part of the work of the state organiza
tion, tt any of these county leagues
desire to support an independent candi
date against a "machine" Republican who
has refused to bind himself to the sup
port of Governor Hughes On the direct
nominations question, the state associa
tion will help that campaign as much
as possible.
Movement Is Nonpolitical.
"This is not a partisan movement, nor
is . it an antl-organizatlon movement,"
Judge Wadhams explains. "Of course the
regulars of the machine call us sore
heads and kickers, but we can stand
for that. We already have in this or
ganization men of both big political
parties, and we believe in responsible
party government and in organization.
"But on the other hand we believe in
having primary laws which will assure
each citizen, of whatever partyv that he
may vote at his party's primaries with
a certainty of having his vote counted
and without having his will discounted
by machine manipulation in the pri
maries, or by manipulation of delegates
after the primaries. All we want Is a
chance to select our officials without the
intervention of middle men. who may
understand our desires, or may not, and
who may or may not carry out our direc
tions." Judge Wadhams explains that already
his association has subordinate organiza
tions in the following counties, New York
Kings, Queens, Richmond (these being In
SfattT :few Jork a"d in Westchester.
,e?neida' ntario- Cayuga. Onondaga
and Monroe. In the last named county,
there Is an organization in each of the
three assembly districts.
The work of organization is pro
gressing in the other counties, and be
fore September it is expected that each
will have a body of earnest, direct
worners. xne active work
Is in charge of an "advisory council "
which In the course of time will in
clude men from every section of the
state. At present the bulk of the
members are from Greater New York
It cannot be denied that there are
some mighty good meu in .the advis

"It Is a classy committee," said a
Republican district leader today, "but
the trouble is that it is too classy.
It is not able to reach the rank and
file of the voters, and it never will."
And this seems to be the jceneral
opinion. Hunt as you will throughout
the city, it Is impossible to find any
public sentiment In favor of the latest
of the Governor's reforms.
The general sentiment is one of In
difference. Voters believe that the
present election laws are good, and do
not need improvement. Consequently
thev are not fnllfnir afa. v. . i
i to join the State Direct Primary Asso
ciation, and they really lack interest
in the movements of ex-Judge Wad
hams and his associates.
While legislators are not anxious to
go on record as yet, in private they de
clare that they do not give a hoot for
the work of the new organization.
And they believe that they will be able
effectually to spike the reformers'
guns.
"The regular candidates this Fall,"
said one Republican assemblyman who
has served four years at Albany, "will j
De named oy tne two Dig party organ
izations. . Suppose in my district that
I refuse to subscribe to this pledge?
Then, of course, my opponent would be
Indorsed In the natural course of
events.
"But suppose, and it Is a supposi
tion that will probably become a real
ity, suppose we both ignore the re
formers? What are they going to do
about it? They are not strong enough
in any district to elect an Independent
candidate. No matter what they do
they lose."
And this is the answer to the direct
primary fight, for this year at least.
"No matter- what they (the reform
ers) do, they lose."
For we do not want any Oregon ex
periences down here, thank you.
CUSHMAN IS STILL LOW
(Continued From First Page.)
terests that might do him some good In a
campaign. He is principal owner of one
of the largest shingle mils in the West,
located at Kelso, but makes his home in
Tacoma.
A. S. Ruth, of Olympia. preslden ef the
State Senate, is also an aspirant for Cush
man's job. It is said that Ruth has been
laying his wires for some time in antici
pation that Cushman would run for the
Senate.
If anything would cause Governor Hay
to take an active part in a congressional
election in favoring one candidate above
another, it would be the fact that Ruth
was seeking the election. Ruth is the
leader and brains of the anti-administration
faction in the Washington Legisla
ture, and does not hesitate to express his
opinion of Hay in uncomplimentary
terms. Ruth is one of the backers of an
anti-administration weekly newspaper
that made its initial appearance in Olym
pia last week. The object of this news
paper, it is believed, is not only to rep
resent the forces in the Southwest op
posed to the policies of Governor Hay, but
to boost Ruth for Congress as well.
Clajpool Would Oppose Ruth.
Ruth, however, it is promised, would
have opposition in his own county.
Charles E. Claypool. of Olympia, it is
said, has been planning to try for Cush
man's position, if for any reason, Cush
man is out of the running. Claypool is
one of the best known political stump
speakers in the Southwest. In recent
years, he has been engaged in the law
practice in Fairbanks, Alaska, coming
to Washington for the Winters and cam
paigning for the Republican ticket when
an election is on. For the purpose of
running for Congress, it is said, that
Claypool lias given up his Alaska resi
dence and already claims Olympia as his
home in fact.
Should a special election be called, the
Grays Harbor country might also be fig
ured in. Aberdeen and Hoquiam have been
growing some during the last few years
and in George Emerson, of Aberdeen, is
another likely candidate. Mr. Emerson
has often been told he was good timber
and he has reached the point of believing
it.
Emerson is the head of a big lumber
ing concern, which operates in the Grays
Harbor country, and will likely be noticed
somewhat, should a special election be
called.
The men mentioned are the only ones
so far as known here who have been
watching Cushman's course with the view
to succeeding him, but if death should
remove the Congressman at this time it
is practically certain that others would
immediately enter the contest.
If a vacancy should occur and Governor
Hay should call a special election the
state would likely find itself embroiled
in an administration and anti-administration
row, for it is hard to see how Hay
could keep out of the fight that would be
waged in view of the fact that the nom
inations would be made by the old con
vention method. The primary election
law of this state does not apply to spe
cial elections held for the purpose of fill
ing unexpired terms.
It apparently, however, would not be
obligatory upon the Governor to call a
special election, but if he did not the
state would lose part of its representation
in Congress during the remainder of the
present special session of Congress and
during the next regular session. Pressure
would undoubtedly be too strong for the
Governor to resist calling an election If
death Is the result .of Cushman's illness.
Scramble on Next Election.
But In the event either of Cushman's
demise or retirement at the end of his
present term there would be a scramble
for his shoes in the next regular election
similar to that which occurred In the
Eastern Washington district in the last
primary campaign. There undoubtedly
would be more than four candidates In
the field, making necessary voting for
second choice candidates. So long as
Cushman is alive and retains his present
popularity In his district he is not likely
to have much opposition in seeking re
election. He Is too strong with the voters
and too good a campaigner for any new
man to hope to oust him. A successor
during the unexpired term could not hope
to gain Cushman's popularity and would
have opposition in the regular election.
For years Mr. Cushman has held the
right of way in Congressional nomi
nations at the hands of conventions.
Ever since the days of populism Cush
man has had not even a near-rival.
Of course when the new primary law
was placed in effect last year there
was a belief that someone would come
out against him and carry off the nom
ination. But even this belief was dis
pelled when the last day for filings
came forth and it was found that no
one would take up the gauntlet thrown
down by the new primary law..
Four years ago B. W. Coiner, of
Lewis County, was an active candi
date for the office in oposition to Cush
man. For many years the Southwest
figured it out that they should have
a representative in Congress for the
United States Senator and a Congress
man came from Tacoma. The division
of the spoils did not seem altogether
right, and Coiner received much en
couragement, but the Southwest, which
has always had a chance to break every
combination in a Republican conven
tion, failed at the last minute, and
Coiner lost.
Cushman In the last primary election
polled 19,812 votes In his district, his
nearest- and only competitor, B. D.
Brown. Democrat, polling 1704. In the
general election following the prima
ries Cushman received 29,850 and
Brown 12,006. Of course, Tacoma
would not wish to relinquish its hold
in Congress in the event of Cushman's
death, and aside from Senator Metcalf
and George T. Reld, Senator Paulha
mus Is regarded as Congressional tim
ber. Both Cushman and Humphrey had
a walkaway in the last elections, but
as Republican politics have developed
in this state within the last few months
following the scandals that have been
brought to light. there Is no sure
thing that matters will stand as they
are at present. As a matter of fact it
is pointed out the elecion of two new
members of the Legislature, Democrats
from Republican strongholds, has set
politicians guessing. The future of
the party's progress depends greatly,
so It is declared, upon the consequences
of political housecleaning, which is now
under way in the State of Washington.
