Transcaucasia.
Baku, Russian Transcaucasia, April
19.-Mirza Abbas Khan, chief engineer
Of the Persian ministry of ways and
communications, was shot and seri.
ously wounded in the street here.
-Four shots from a revolver were fired
at him and two Of them were effective
in his abdomen and side. The khan
bears close personal resemblance to
the ex-Persian grand vizier, Amin Sui
tan, whom the shah summoned from
Paris to assist in combating the rev.
dictionary movement in Persia, and it
is thought that the assassins we're
revolutionary emissaries. Three pass

GRAHAM BUYS LAUNDRY;
DEAL MADE YESTERDAY
Chas. E. AIbrant Has Sold the Bemidj
Steam Laundry to John
Graham.
John Graham buys laundry.

JOun Grauau DuyS lduuuIy:
An important deal involving
the transfer of the Bemidji
Steam Laundry from Chas. E.
Albrant to John Graham was
closed yesterday after several
days negotiations.
The transfer includes, in ad-
diticn to the equipment and es-
tablished business, the building
and real estate on lower Third
street. While the amount in
volved has not been made public,
it is understood that the figures
are in the neighborhood of $12,
900.
Mr.. Graham took possession
of the plant this morning, and
has planned many improvements
which will be made as soon as
new machinery can be secured
and placed. The laundry will
be conducted under the personal
supervision of Mr.. Graham, who
has engaged an old time, exper.
fenced laundryman of Minneapc.
lis, as forman, and the aim of the
new management will be to turn
out nothing but first class work.
In the mean time until the con.
templated improvements can be
made, Mr.. Graham asks the in
diligence Of the pu bic.
Among new machinery that
will be placed, are improved elec-
trio ironers, manglers and the
latest polishing machines. A
carpet washer will also be added
in the fall for the convenience
and accommodation of the patrons
of the laundry who have been
oblidged heretofore to send their
carpets away to have them
cleaned.
Mr.. Graham, the new propri-
etor, is one of the best known
citizens of Bemidji and has been
identified with the business in
terests of the city since the ad-
vent Of the railroad nearly nine
years ago. While he has been
engaged in different ventures,
his efforts have been crowned
with success, and he will no
doubt meet with merited patrog:-
age in his new undertaking.
The Bemidji Steam Laundry is
one of the oldest business insti.
buttons in the city, and has been
operated by Mr.. Albrant for the
past seven years. From a small
beginning Mr.. Albrant has kept
pace with the strides of progress
and the plant has been enlarged
from time to time with the
growth of the city until today it
is one of the best equipped
laundries in northern Minnesota,
employing large nun Der of
hands, and it's patronage extend
ing to the ne;ghboring towns
within a distance of hundred
miles or more. The prosperous
business of the plant is entirely
due to the untiring efforts of Mr..
Albrant, who has spared no
efforts to give to the people of
Bemidji and vicinity the best
possible service.
MT. A1OranJ eXpecCS 10 go TO
Western Canada, where he has
acquired large property interests
during the past few years, and
may possibly engage in the real
estate business there. He will
still retain his home in Bemid il,
and his family will remain here
for the present Beyond this
he has no plans for the future,
but his many friends here will
wish him success in his new field
of endeavor in whatever line that
may be.

NAY REOPEN RATE CONTEST
Road Leased by Southern Seeks
Injunction at Asheville.
VIII Raise Questions Which May
Force Glenn 20 Put Threat
Into Operation.
I'm Washington Herald

Special TO The Washington Herald.
Asheville, n. C. Sept. 5.-Another rail-
way injunction suit has been instituted
before Judge Pritchard for the purpose Of
restraining the bringing Of several suits in
Alamance County against the North Caro-
lima and Southern Railway TO enforce
penalties growing out of the new State
passenger rate law.
These cases are rendered doubly inter-
esting from the fact that the question will
be raised whether the North Carolina
Railroad, the line between Goldsboro and
Charlotte which Is being operated by the
Southern under ninety-nine-year lease,
is an integral part of the Southern sys-
TEN.
Gov. Glenn has stated that the legis-
lature would be called into extra session
TO repeal this lease unless the officials of
the Southern walked very circumspectly
and unless the State was successful in
the litigation now pending.
Judge Pritchard has announced that
the Alamance injunction case will be
given a hearing September IS when it
will be determined whether the restrain
ing order viii be granted. IN the papers
filed il is set forth that unless such order
is granted the Southern viii be deprived
of the benefit of the interlocutory order
of injunction heretofore issued. and the
road will suffer an irredeemable injury.
Additional interest is lent to this case
because Of the fact that the attorney
mentioned for the Alamance persons is
Jacob A. Long, candidate before the last
Democratic convention for the Office Of
corporation commissioner, and the brother
of Judge Long. who recently imposed a
fine Of $4,000 on the Southern at Raleigh.
