Control GlTen to American.
The Council passed a law June 13
Investing the Treasurer-General with
the control of all revenues and the sole
power to sign checks qi government
funds.
M. Mornard previously had drawn
checka on the cuatoma" funds. He re
fused to recognise the new law and
contended that he still had that power,
r-hecka which he aliened were refuaed
by the Imperial Bank of Persia, an Eng
lish corporation handling a targe pan
of tbe government funds. These checks
were for eulnrles of customa" employee.
Mr. Shuster lsnued duplicative, which the
bank honored. Thia brought mattera
to a crisis.
The Belgian legation announced to
the Persian government that It would
not permit the Belgian employes of the
customs, who form a large proportion
of the force, to serve under Mr. Shuster
If the law was to be carried out. The
Russian Minister went further and de
clared emphatically that he would In
troduce Kusalana before he would sub
mit to Mr. Shusler'a single-handed con
trol. Several foreign obligations. Including
the Interest on foreign loans amortiza
tion, the payment of the Cossack bri
gade and the pension of the deposed
Shah were a charge on the customs of
the north. The Rus.olan and Belgian
diplomats took the stnnd that these In
terests were Imperilled by Mr. Shuster's
administration and also denied the pow
er of the National Council to pass such
a law as that of June 11.
Mr. Shuster then gave written notice
to the Imperial Rank and the Russian
bank that no disbursements would be
made from the customs' receipts until
all liens upon them had been paid and
Invited them to send representatives at
any time to examine the books end ac
counting methods of tbe treasury.
Cabinet Held In Line.
All the banks supported Mr. Shuster,
and the Council, which lias supported
him since his arrival, stood by him also.
The Cabinet was frightened by the Rus
sian Minister's threats and wavered for
some time. After a week's argument
the Treasurer-General prevailed upon
the Minister of Foreign Affairs to call
upon M. Mornard to comply with the
law.
Then the opposition collapsed. In the
presence of the Cabinet of Mr. Shuster,
the Belgian Director-General of Cus
toms gave a formal undertaking to ac
cept the law and he and Mr. Shuster
parted on good terms. It was under
stood In Teheran that before Mr. Shus
ter left Washington the Russian Am
bassador there assured him that Russia
would not oppose his financial reforms.

Wlrelcea Messages for Aid Aro Re

Thought Probable Course.
HALIFAX, N. S.t July 30. The pro
tected cruiser Niohe, flagship of the
Canadian navy, waa saved to the Do
mlnion a young aea atrength after be
ing Impaled for five hours on the south
west ledge of Cape Sable early today.
Her hull waa pierced In several
places. the starboard nglne-room
awamped vith water and other com
partment flooded. No lives were lost.
The exact means of the relier oi me
Nlobe are not known here, but it is
supposed she floated on a rising tide.
Commander McDonald anchored the
N'obe in a safe position some distance
from the scene of "her mishap, awaiting
tna arrival of the government steamers
Iady Lauriar and Stanley, which were
dispatched to her assistance early this
morning from St. John. .
Boats' Crews Return.
A heavy fog enshrouded the coast.
and It is said that there was a south
east gale blowing.
Sixteen men of the crew who left
the cruiser In two boats were the cause
of much anxiety for hours after the
accident, as they were lost In the fog
and at the mercy of the gale and strong
tide, which it waa feared would wreck
them on one of the many ledges about
Cape Sable. It was learned by wireless
tonight that all have rejoined their
ship. They went back to the cruiser In
one boat, the other apparently having
been wrecked.
So extreme aas considered the plight
of the Nlobe when the ship first
grounded that Commander McDonald
ordered all boats cleared away, ready
for abandonment of the vessel if nec
essary. The two boats which were lost
for a time with their crews were the
first over the side, general launching of
the boats having been deferred until a
definite idea of the condition of the
veaael had been gained.
Vessel Plied on Ledge.
The Nlobe piled upon the southwest
ledg" at 12:35 this morning, when
rounding Cape Sable, on her return to
her home port from Yarmouth, where
her officers and crew, bad been partici
pating In an Old Home Week celebra
tion. Tha impact waa ao heavy aa to
drive her hard upon the pinnacle of
rock and to arouse every man on board.
The wireless apparatus waa brought
Into play. Calls were heard at East
port and as far south as Boston and
were picked up also at Cape Race, N.
V.. and Sable Island; also at Father
Point, Quebec. They resulted In the
quick dispatch of the government
steamer Aberdeen from this port and
the Lady Laurier and Stanley from St.
John, N. B.. aa well aa of aeveral other
veasela from other porta.
MURPHY'S SWAY SCANDAL
' Cont!nuad From First Paaa.)
promptly granted every request, and
aome of them were mighty flimsy.
Things finally got ao bad that the
Civil Service Reform Association filed
chargea agalnat the commissioners and
asked Oovernor DIx to remove them
for utter disregard of the merit sys
tem. But tha Governor, even with the
Rochester platform in his mind's eye,
quashed the charges, and tbe civil ser
vice law Is continually violated.
One of the worst of many bad bills
was pushed through by Senator Fraw
ley, a strong Tammany man. When
the trana'er tax law was first put Into
effect. Its conduct was a scandal, ow
ing to the fact that the appraisers
made fat fees and theae came out cf
the estates. Under Governor Hughes,
reform was instituted, " and the ap
pralaera were made civil service em
ployes with fixed salaries. Frawley's
bill, which waa obligingly, algned by
the Governor, ousts these officials and
permlte the Surrogate of New York
County to name the men In the vari
ous caaea that may arise, and to com
penaate them in ( fees. V
Who Is John P. Cohalan?
Who Is the Surrogate of New . York
County Anawer, John P Cohalan.
Who la John P. Cohalan? The brother
of Supreme Court Justice Dan Coha
lan. Murphy's political adviser. From
which it Is safe to assume that Murphy
did not violently object to the bill.
Many Republicans were holding
offices bv appointment when the
Democrats marched Into Albany. Very
few are on their Jobs now. for thay
have been "ripped out" right and left.
In each and every case the. Democrats
had a good reason for their action.
They wanted the place for 6 Murphy
man. and they took it. Important
FLAGSHIP
SAVED
among the changes were those affect
ing the State Court of Claims, al
though lawyers, regardless of party,
and members of the Supreme Court
openly urged that the incumbents be
not dlsturbed; the Highway Commis
sion, a trio of high-class men. and the
Board of Advisory canal Engineers.
The last two shifts hand over to State
Engineer Benson absolute control of
the state's highways and canals, and
explains why he was willing to resign
a 12.000 a year Job, practically for
life, for the chance to run for a $5000
a year berth that Is only good for a
period of two years.
Over in Brooklyn, the Chief Clerk
of the County Court, the Commissioner
of Records, and the Commissioner of
Jurors were all ousted and provision
made for the appointment of succes
sors by certain Democratic office
holders. In Mount Vernon, which has
a Democratic mayor and a Republi
can common council, the mayor is
given power to name office-holders
without the necessity of having them
confirmed. In several upstate cities
where' the reverse rules, the common
council has been given the right to
elect officials without - the mayor's
participation in the work. And so it
goes.
Tammany Man Twitted.
During the closing days of the ses
sion, a Tammany assemblyman was
being twitted with the record of his
party. To which he replied:
"We may only be here a short time,
but you will never be able to forget
that you have entertained us."
And these words, spoken in Jest,
are very much the truth.
The Legislature which has Just de
parted is, without exception, the most
grasping and gree'dy on record. The
interest of the state has never been
considered, always the supposed inter
ests of the party. It has been a case
of grab from start to finish.
The Republicans have high hopes of
recapturing the Assembly this Fall,
and even many Democrats admit that
the chances are against their party.
But It is not worrying them in the
slightest.
"Get every -assemDiyman n yuu
want to," they say. "The Senate holds
- it u nnthpr vear at least
you cannot undo what we have done."
All of whlcn is correct, mm num
Tammany standpoint probably satis
factory. But to Democrats who had
high hopes or taking ine
the Democratic column in 1912, the
prospects are dark, and their private
nininns of "Grasping Murphy" are
far from flattering.
However, if Murphy ana nis pais
.ir.ia nf vears more of high
living, such as they are at present
enjoying, they win noi won
about National affairs. For Tammany
