today yielded to the demand of the Russian ultimatum de that W. Morgan Shuster, an American who holds the post of treasurer -general In the Persian government, be dismissed dram the Russian service. ultimatum also calls for the payment of an indemnity, which 14 to reimburse Russia for money expended In sending an armed expedition Into Persia to enforce her demand. Mr. Shuster's administration of Persian finances has been displeasing to Russia from the start, and when he caused the seizure cf property belonging to the brother the former shah, over the protest of the Russian vica consul, Rugsin at first demanded an apology and when this was not forthcoming, called for the dismissal of Mr.

Shuster. This has finally been acceded to. 'The Persian charge d'affatres at St. Petersburg called at the Russian foreign office today to announce officially his government's decision to abide by the terms of the ultimatum. Up to a late hour tonight, however, 110 public 11- nouncement had made at Teheran of the recession of Persia from the stand she originally took azainst the demands of the ezar'a ministers, even in the face of threatened aggression.

The delay in making public the fact that she had yielded to the Russian demands was probably through fears of the results of the public announcement. Mr. Shuster la still without formal notice of his dismissal. He is absolute in declaring that he would have nothing to do with the negotiations and would only recognize the right of the national counell. to dispense with his services.

The exact form of Persia's reply to Ruesia la yet known, but from the latest news received from Teheran It not, would seem that cabinet has overriden the wishes of the commission which the council appointed to deal with the matter. It is not probable that there will be a withdrawal of the Russian troops 1n Persia, while disorders such as those at Tabriz are occurring. There are only 200 Russian troops encamped three miles outside of Tabriz, from which guards are sent to town dally for the consulate banks. From conflicting Russian and Persian accounts of the trouble at Tabriz it is difficult to ascertain exactly what happened, but reports published in St. Petersburg are to the effect that several Russian soldiers were killed in the fighting there.

The Commercials and the Pharmics started play, and although they won by a score of 24 to 12, the Bookkeepers were forced to play their best at all times through the game, their team work being the only feature of the evening.

The Pharmics fought hard all the with Macucel playing the star game them. The little foreigner was all over the floor and managed to get into play. Captain Hand did not show up as well as was expected, for he was not allowed to get free at any time in the game. If special credit belongs to any member of the Commercial team it must go to Captain Impson, who was in the game all the time, and who secured the majority of the points for his team. The second game was between the Musics and the Engineers, with the Engineers the favorites.

In the first halt the game was slow, with H. Joseph of the Musics playing about all the real basketball that wag being played. The Engineers used nearly all their substitutes in the first session and did not try to run up many points. In the second half all of the first team went in excepting Hobson, who was out of the city. By this shift the score was quickly changed and the Mechanics took the lead by ten points.

After this brief flash of play they seemed to get the tired feeland the score did not change much through therest of the game, which ended with the count 25 to 13 in favor of the Engineers. The third and last game of the evenIng was more of a rough house than a basketball game. The Normals were touted to win by a wide margin, but the Telegraphers showed unexpected form and fought hard the entire game. The key men made most of their points from the foul line and, if they had made all the possible shots, they would have tied or beaten the Normals. Steele and Mitchell of the Normals played good ball but were loose with their basket shooting.

The final score was 31 to 18 in favor of the Normals. The result the games that the finals will be played between the Engineers and the Commercials. The decisive game will be played New Year's night and to the winner will go the WIlson trophy. ROADSIDE BLANKS CO. A.

IN LAST HALF The national guardsmen proved to be no match for the strong Roadside Settlement basketball team, which romped away with the team from Company A in an alleged game that ended with the score 43 to 5 in favor of Coach Snyder's youngsters. Sumner, the settlement star forward, shot fourteen baskets, but Captain "Jake" Opal's guarding was the real feature of the game. Opal hovered close to his own goal and covered the soldier forwards with such dogged determination that in the second half they were unable to score a single point. The victory won last night at the Coliseum was by far the most decisive of those won by the settlement boys, who have lost but one game, and that to an all-star team from the Des Moines Y. M.

C. when Sumner, their goalshooting forward, was absent from the lineup. The soldiers will give stars a return game at the settlement gym 011 Jan. 9, and on next Tueslay evening the Roadside team will go to the army post to play the team representing the hospital corps. The lineup of last night's comedy is as ROADSIDE.
