BRITISH PEOPLE AROCSED Complicity or Forctn Ofrice In crcaalnfi'ly Unpopular. LOXDOV. Dec. 27. Aa report of Russian progress in Persia and atorica of the Indiscriminate killing of natives In Tabrls and Resht and of the de struction of Persia's constitutional sTOTernment. timler Russian menaces, rontinue to reach England, the people are bceotiiinc Increasinsrly diiniletd at the British Kovernmcnt's complicity, whtcb the Korelcn Secretary. Sir Ed ward Grey, thinks la a matter of policy and compelled by the Anglo-Russian agreement. Doubts also hare been Increased an to whether Persian Independence ever will be restored to even the feeble status It bad before thla last assault by Russia. If Parliament were aitttnc undoubtedly there woukl be severe questioning of the covernment on thla subject and an arraignment of the Foreign Of flee. The Times la the only newspaper that strongly supports the govern ment and It expresses considerable un easiness over Russia.. Intentions, aa hinted In St. Petersburg reports. The Manchester Guardian, the ablest and most Influential provincial liberal paper, deplores British responsibility and questions whether the government could not hare taken aome atand ear lier, but feara that it 1a now too late. In abort, the whole affair la repugnant to Liberal sentiment. The Persia committee, composed of prominent Englishmen Interested In Persian affairs, has received the fol lowlnK teleirram from the Provincial Assembly at Tabrix. sent through the rrrrian Society of Constantinople: "n December 21. Russian troops at tacked and seised the administration buildings. They trampled school chil dren under foot and killed and de spoiled Innocent men and women. They also looted the shops. The inhabitants after extraordinary forbearance began to defend themselves and forced the Russians to evacuate the government offices. t ri December 22 the Russians bom- bjt riled the city until sunset, conster- r-it ton increasing hourly. On Decem ber 2J. in consequence of orders from tl'.e central government to cease fight ing, the Inhabitants took no ateps to defend themselves, hut the Russians renewed the bombardment, firing Xrom the envtorns of their consulate at wo men and other Innocent persona They wounded or made captive the wives and children of many respectable cltl xens and set fire to numerous build irc and mosques. We beg you to communicate this te let ram to the principal newspapers and influential centers of Europe."

'WEDDINGS' MARK LECTURE f 'Scientific Loro Promoter" els Bump on Head of Subjects to Dotcrmljve Real "Soul Mates" In Chicago. CHICAGO. Dec IT. (Special.) Cupid had nothing to say about the "wed dings" performed In a lecture hall In West Park No. a tonight by Dr. Julius von Bernauer. 'scientific love promot er, physician and lecturer. The Be co tillon system supplants the God of Lov in Dr. Bernauer'a ays tern, tried out upon several couples. Marriage licenses. aolltaJres, wedding rings and even the proverbial rice and old shoes had no place In the cere monies; the Bertlllon system aa em- plo-ed by Dr. Bernauer'a bright eyes and his nimble fingers being the whole business. In Dr. Bernauer'a scientific way to marriage, bumps upon the heads of the happy" couples count far more than honeyed words over the telephone, flowers and candy and evenings in the dlmiy-lighted parlor. Dr. Bernauer employs the word "affinity" In his sys tem of match-making, too. but not In the degraded sense It la commonly used, he says. "Weed lass" 31 ere Raperlmeats. Of course, the half-dosen couples "married" tonight were not really made man and wife. There was no In tention to lie real nuptial knots. Th brides' and the "bridegrooms' parted after the ceremony, perhaps forever. Some of them had never seen each other before, and may never again. The lecture over, the wedding ties were broken and the happy couples were sent their several ways aa single as ever. T3:e lecture and the experimental marriages were merely to allow Dr. Rernauer to give an exposition of his theories, mhicli lie explains in part as follows: "As many as fie have volunteered for the experiment, but six are as many as I ran discourse upon scientifically. Of course the word 'affinity' is used in Its primary sense and not In the degraded meaning that has so debased that noble i word. I examine the bumps on the I head, the tips of the ears, the shape of the eyes, the lines of the mouth and take all physiognomical marks Into ac count before passing Judgment. In short, I follow the Bertlllon system in a measure, but must of necessity go further. Couple IV ot Kmbarranaed. "As all of these young men and women are regular attendants at my lectures they are not embarrassed when I say, "Miss So-and-So would make an admirable wife for Mr. Thus-and-Thti, nor Is any species of ro mance likely to result. Bertlllon and lx)inbroso used such methods to Iden tify t-rlniinals and prevent crime, but I use my science to atlvame true love, which 1j the bent and truest of all sciences. I use the word 'phrenological " lie said. "I disdain nothing that may In dicate a sex or character trait, and only the ignorant today scoff at phrenology. "At all my lectures I use the auxito phone. a sort of advanced phonograph, of which there are only six In the city, and music suitable on this occasion to the subject of true affinity. Among the selections are the 'Moonlight Sonata,' by Beethoven, which has been held In the past as encouraging ro mantic love Instead of stern common sense, and the 'Anvil Chorus' from 'II Trovatore. wnlch seems slightly sug gestive of household Inharinony If 'anvil' Is considered In slang parlance. "We are working again toward the spiritual Idea of love." Dr. Bernauer continued, "and the modern woman la evolving the perfect woman. She com pels modern man to fall in step. "NO FELON," MORSE MOANS Banker. Surely Dying, Wunts Tart to Remove Stain. WASHINGTON. Dec. 27. A special from Atlanta to the Washington Post says: - "Th. truth about Charles W. Morse is that lie Is dying. Medical aid can not sare him. " 'Oh. I guess I am dying.' said Mors. In a droning voice in response to a question that was asked. '1 don't mind that so much: I'm not complaining. Hut I wish to lod some one would tell Die President that I am not a felon. I am not a felon: 1 have paid every debt, have drained myself to-pay them. X don't care if 1 die. but I am not a felon. And I don't want to die in Jail.' " Town Methods at Win lock Scored. OLTMPIA. Wash.. Dec. 27. (Special.) In Its report on the town of Winlock In Lewis County from January. 1909 to November 25, 1911. the state bureau of Inspection states that the affairs of some of the offices, notably that of the town treasurer. have been run in haphazard fashion. Suggestions for Im provements are made in nearly all de partments. The report shows, how ever, that the town Is in good financial condition, having assets of 114.95 or S1737 In excess of Its liabilities. Li E NOT FIXED Jury Acquits Owners of Fire Horror Factory. HEAVY GUARD IS NEEDED Crowd Outside Courtroom Awaits Defendants on Their Release. Issue Is Whether Certain Door Was Locked. XRW YORK. fec. 27. The state has failed in its effort to fix the blame of the tire horror of March 25, 1911, in which 117 employes r.f the Triangle Waist Company lost their lives. A ver dict of "not guilty" was returned late today In the case of Isaac Harris and Max Blanrk. rropritors of the fac tory, who were indicted in connection with the holocaust. Unusual precau tions were taken to prevent repetition at the Courthouse today of the demon strations made against the defendants during the trial. Only a few persons were allowed in the courtroom and the corridors and . entrances were heavily guarded. The jury came In it 4:26 P. M af ter having deliberated an hour and 45 minutes. The verdict was at first taken quietly by the defendants, but after the adjournment of court they gave way to their emotion. As they passed out through a lane of police men to the street, a large crowd of men, women and children awaited them. One hysterical man tried to press through the throng crying, "Not guilty? Not guilty? Murder! Murder! Murder!" He fell on the steps of the Courthouse in convulsions. gasping that he had lost a sister in the Are. By the time the exci'.ement was over the defendants had darted into a subway entrance, escaping the hostile crowd. Harris and Blanck were charged specifically with manslaughter in the case of Margaret Schwartz, a young girl who was found dead near a door on the ninth floor of the building. The main argument of both prosecu tion and defense was directed .against this door, the state introducing more than 100 witnesses in an attempt to prove that it was locked, and the de fense answering this contention with a mass of testimony.
