MRS, FAIRBANKS,

Mrs. Fairbanks the wife of Vice Pres ident Fairbanks, is expected to accom- pany her husband on his visit to Bir- mingham. They will be the guests of Col. and Mrs. T. G. Bush at Hill Crest"
 The visit of Vice President and Mrs Fairbanks will naturally be one of great social interest. Mrs Fairbanks, even be- fore her husbands election to the vice presidency. occupied a distinguished po- siton in American society and since his election she mas maintained with great brlliancy and distinction a position that is not always easy even to woman as tactful as Mrs. Fairbanks. Those who know her personally declare that she is wonderfully charming. and all Washing ton admits that the wife of the vice pres ident is far more popular socially than is Mrs. Roosevelt.
 No entertainments of even an informai nature have yet been announced in honor of Vice President and Mrs Fairbanks. but they will be welcomed with cord'" hospitality and their visit will be socially brilliant in so far as suited to their wishes,

St Petersburg Duke Mich

council If national defense, narrowly
escaped assassination Saturday at the
hands Of the Imperial guards In the
guard camp at krasnoye-Seio.
II appears that the grand duke was
personally reviewing the maneuvers
and putting the troops through blank
firing practice. when he suddenly was
startled by the wasp-like hiss OF bull

neither himself nor his horse was
touched The command to cease mr.

bullets came were marched back 10

from the barrels of the rifles which OF
the soldiers fired ball cartridges. Sew
eral arrests are understood to have
been made.
One of the grand dukes aides-de-
camp, who, however. was not personal
ly present, advanced the theory that
possibly the bullets were fired by acci-
dent, but he considered that beyond
doubt there was a plot on the part or
a number OF disloyal guardsmen VINO
deliberately planned to take the grand
dukes life under cover OF the general
blank cartridge firing.

and killed himself at his home,

by neighbors and lifelong friends, who
