HEAVY ARTILLERY USED Defenders of Teheran Desperately Re sist Efforts of Invaders, but the Lat ter Succeed in Occupying Strong Point—Soldiers of the Shah From 8ultanabad Hurrying to Assist Gar rison at Capital. Teheran, July 15.—The fighting in the streets of Teheran that has been going on more or less continuously since the nationalist forces made their entry into the capital has become more serious. The Persian Cossacks, with a heavy artillery fire, resisted the attempt of the nationalists to rush the Cossacks' position from the north and east. The nationalists succeeded in occupying a garden close to the house of Colonel Liakhoff, the mili tary commander of Teheran, where they are being shelled by the Cos sacks. Rifle and artillery fire has been practically continuous for thirty-six hours. Soldiers of the shah from Sul tanabad have approached to within three miles of the city and are shell ing Hakaristan, the quarter of the city where the parliament building is situ ated. It is reported that the shah's troops are endeavoring to enter the city by one of the northern gates. Shah May Have Escaped. The greatest uncertainty prevails as to the whereabouts of the shah. It was generally supposed that he was in the fort placed in the central square defended by the Cossacks, but the impression has gone abroad that he has escaped to his summer home in the suburb of Sultanabad. The nationalists in one day's occu pation have almost completely sub dued the town, the Inhabitants en dorsing the revolt and pledging sup port to the tempered scheme of gov ernment which Sardarasad, leader of the Bakhtiari tribesmen, is ad minis terir.g from the parliament house, of which he took possession on his en trance to the city. No estimate of the number of those killed In the fighting is possible, ow ing to the wide territory over which the flgntlng spread. It Is generally believed, however, that both sides lost heavily.

JULY V/HEAT REACHES to Dernaad Shorts, Chicago, July 15.—Wheat for July delivery made a sensational advance of 5 cents per bushel on the board of trade when it jumped to $1.25 during the first half hour of trading. This price eclipsed by cents the previ ous high point "for the season. The bulge was due to the extremely urgent desire of many traders to oover short sales in view of the poor prospect of any considerable move ment of new wheat to market this month, rains having interfered with harvest operations, in the West and Southwest. The market for the July option has been In a congested condi tion ever since the closing of the cele brated "deal' in the May delivery and when traders sought to buy the July wheat there was almost none to be had. The price at the opening was $1. 20% to $1.21%. The price continued to advance *y leaps of one-quarter to 1 cent at a jump. When the price touched $1.25 a big shout arose. The climax seemed to have been reached at this figure and the price sagged somewhat on realizing sales. Before the close of the market July went to $1.27, a gain of 7 cents for the day. OBTAINE?
