ASSASSINATION OF THE SHAH
Full Confession Which Complexities
Eight Others.

Teheran, Persia, May At has been def
initely ascertained that the assassin of the
late shah of Persia, Nazer Eddin, is Mol
lah Reza, a follower of the well-known
agitator, Sheikh Jem Aleddin. exiled In
1891, after having been convicted of high
treason. Reza was also imprisoned for
treason, but subsequently liberated. After
his release he continued his attacks upon
the government, was again imprisoned
and once more released, and was actually
granted pension by the shah. In spite of
the clemency shown him, Reza continued
his agitation against the government, and
when warned he would again be arrested
suddenly left this city. He was next heard
of at Constantinople. Instructions were
telegraphed to that city to have the Per-
sian agitator closely watched. Additional
reports from ConstantinOple advised the
government that Reza was corresponding
with Sheikh Jem Aleddin. Their plans for
the assassination of the shah had been
laid. Two months ago Reza quietly left
Constantinople, and for time all trace Of
him was lost. Recently his presence here
has been known to the police authorities
and they are blamed for not having caused
his arrest. They excuse themselves on the
ground that the late shah's clemency 10
lief. founded on reports of physicians,
that Reza was of unsound mind; and it
was believed, even if taken into custody
once more, he would only be released by
the shahs orders. Since his arrest for the
murder of the shah Reza has been closely
questioned by the judicial authorities. At
first he protested to have acted entirely of
his own accord and in the interests of his
people, to whom he claimed reforms to
which they were justly entitled had been
refused.
Later the prisoner confessed that the
assassination Of the shah was the outcoms
of a long planned conspiracy. He was
chosen to do the deed He waited two
months for a favorable chance to shoot
the shah. The assassin also admitted that
upon many occasions he succeeded in APP
preaching the late shah under various dis
guises, but it was not until Friday last
in the mosque of the shah at Abdul Azin
that he got near enough to fire the fatal
shot. The assassin has admitted that eight
persons were in the conspiracy. Two. who
have been arrested, are the prisoner
nieces. They were domestics employed in
the harem of the shah. Reza has confessed
that the girls kept the conspirators in
formed regarding the movements Of The
shah Friday morning the chosen assas-
sin was informed that the shah intended
to visit the shrine of Sultan Abdul Ain
Finally Reza informed the authorities thai
he intended to commit suicide by blowing
out his brains, but was disarmed before h,
could carry out his intention.

ing the allegiance of the governors

received from all parts of the country.
The new shahs elder brother Massoud
Mirzia. governor of Ispahahan. was one
of the first to profess allegiance to the
shah No ground has been found for the
report that Massoud Mir2ia was in any
way connected with the fatal conspiracy.
He sent a second telegram of congratula-
ton to the shah upon being notified that
he is confirmed as governor of lspahahan.
The grand vizier has also been con-
frmed, and with the exception OF some
disturbances upon the part of the troops
at Shiraz who asked for their arrears OF
pay. there has been no disorder and none
is apprehended.
The prisoner later made a further con-
fession, admitting that the conspirators
had also planned to murder the grand VIZ
Ter. 1t is also believed that the plot was
much more widespread than Is now admit
ted. and some time must elapse before all
the facts are made public.

Constantinople, May 4-The newspapers
here were authorized to announce the
death of the shah of Persia without stat
ing the cause. One paper announces that
the shah was out for a walk, felt unwel
and died suddenly. Some apprehension is
felt in official circles owing to the fact
that the assassin formerly lived in this
city, from which place he communicated
with Shiekh Dem Aleddin who is credited
with having planned the murder of both
the shah and grand vizier of Persia.

give to our crops all the time if we
want them to do their best. There is one
feature about using potash that the
most of people overlook and that is its
permanent good effects. 1t does not act
as stimulant like nitrate of soda for
instance, and then pass off. Potash al

Remedies for Moles.

Inquiries have been made by some
Eustis citizens relative to the means Of
combating moles, which in some cases
become so abundant as to cause consider
able damage. On looking through the
Experiment Station literature [ found
but little attention has been given to
this pest and few treatments have been
thoroughly tried.
Moles are properly insectivorous ami
mails but unfortunately they are appar-
emily by no means confined in their diet
to insects, but frequently subslst largely
upon vegetation. The damage done by
their tunnels may be greater than the
loss from what they actually eat, but
either is sufficient to justify killing
them.
Mr.. @. L. Newman, of the Arkansas
Experiment Station, describes in Bulle-
tin %, how he catches them. "After
each rain the mole re-opens his burrows
and frequently makes new ones. In a
few hours after rain, or early on the
following morning were the times they
were most easily taken"
'"The first step toward capturing them
is to approximately locate the point at
which they are working. This was done
by pressing in with the foot the freshly
made burrows at intervals of from two
to three feet. would then retire some

crimson Ul0V +.
Editor Florida Agricultur1st:
Up to few years ago it was consid-
cred an lmpossibility to grow clover
successfully in the South, but with the
advent of crimson clover the problem
has been satisfact torily solved and now
we can depend upon having plenty of
green feed in the early spring months
at the time when it Is most urgently
wanted, but like everything else we have
to learn how to grow it to the best
advantage by experimenting with the
various kinds of fertilizers at cur COM
mand. 1t is generally supposed that
the clover family do not require any
nitrogenous fertilizers, being able to
draw the necessary nitrogen from the
atmosphere, but find that during the
winter months when our days are
shorter and we have less sunshine that
crimson clover don't appear to draw on
the atmosphere as much as in the spring
mon tbs; the reason for this I don't know
y
some way [ find that the main feeder
it wants in the shape of fertiliz ers is
potash.
Last September l sowed two plots,
fertiliZed one with nitrogen and phos-
phate, the other with nitrogen, phos
phate and muriate of potash. When
the first plot got properly started to
growing 1t assumed a yellow sickly hue
and having very hard frost for this
latitude on the goth of December it
nearly succumbed altogether; to try and
save it, gave it some more nitrogen in
the shape of nitrate of soda about fifty
to sixty pounds per acre. This appeared
to stimulate it little and it grew all
right but did not make third of the
crop the other plot that had the potash
did. The plot that had the potash kept
growing steadily right along, passed
through three Of the worst freezes in one
winter that has ever been experienced
in the South, and in the month of
MGICu 1U DTcSCubCO d UCduU1l dpPOdI-
ance. was loath to cut it as I wanted
to save all the seed could for future
purposes, but being short of proper feed
for my milk COWS, cut quite lot of it,
and part of this plot ran along strip
where had tomatoes the previous sea-
son and had been heavily fertilized with
potash This strip grew up again faster
than the rest and [ cut it second and
third time, and at the end gave me more
hay when cut it in May than the part
of the plot that was not in the old to-
mato strip. This was clear case OF
demonstration in favor of the potash
and again when threshing it out for
seed the hay off the land that had the
potash yielded presume about ten to
one of the other, and the seed was
bulkier and heavier in every way.
The more | use potash on our sandy
