Washington,.Feb. 28.—It is believed
in official circles here that the at
tempt on the life of the Shah was
(be result of a plot hatched by reac
tionaries who were actors in the con
spiracy against the government which
has been seething for months.
The conditions in Persia have been
very unsettled and a revolution for
some time has seemed inevitable.
It was thought, however, that the
strenuous efforts used by the officials
had about restored quiet.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 28.—A great
fight ia being made by the various
avowed candidates for the Presidency
for control of the Republican National
Committee. Up to a month ago, it
was quite certain that a majority
of the committee was opposed to the
to tho nomination of Secretary Taft
Now Mr. Taft’s friends are claiming
the control with all the confidence
that Is characteristic of them. Mr.
Frank Hitchcock, Taft’s campaign
manager, is quite positive that more
than half of tho members of the com
mittee nro Bupporters of tho Secre
tary.
"You may state unequivocally nnd
emphatically," said he, “that Mr.
Taft's friends control the National
Committee.’'
Since Mr. Hitchcock retired from
•the office dC First Assistant F\ostr
nwsrer General, .ho has boen devoting
ihlu time to conferences with state
leaders of the Republican party from
nil parts of the country. TnoHe con
ference* have had to do particularly
■with the attitude towards Secretary
Tnft of members of tho National Com*
nilttee. In add-on, Mr| jlltchcock
has communicated directly with the
pommltleemcn themselves, wlt^ii all
of whom, through his previous con
nection with national campaignu, he
Is well acquainted.
Quite naturally, the Contest has not
been one-sided. While Mr. Hitchcock
and other friends of Secretary Taft
have been working vigorously, the
other candidates and their friends
have not beqn idle. All realize not
merely that tactical, but the practical
advantages that will acruo to the can
didate or candidates in control of tho
commltee. It is unlikely, Indeed, that
It may carry with It the power to
niuke the nomination.
In the course of the contest, an Im
portant fact has been developed pret
ty conclusively, that is, that the fight
just now is Taft against the field. It
is assured, substantially, that tho oth
er candidates have formed a woricln„
agreement, by the terms /of which for
certain purposes, they will stand as
