No motive for the assault had been established. Mrs. Thompson knew of no reason, she told officers, why she should have been “taken ‘for a ride.” Practically recovered from the shock and rapidly on the mend from her injuries, she was not able today to give the investigators any more definite information than they already possessed. Taken by surprisz, she said, she wasn't able to describe either the automobile in which the two men rode, or the man who was driving it. She noticed he was of small stature and the man who slugged her was large, wore a black cloth half- mask, had high cheek bones and talked with a slight foreign ac- cent. These items, officers powmnted out, do not mean much, and might be used to describe many persons about town.

Sir John Cadman, chairman of the Anglo-Persian Company, challenges the legality of Persia’s action, assert: ing that it constitutes a grave breach of contract and lays the whole trouble to the falling off of royaliies paid to the Persian Government, due to the depression.
