BY Associated Press.
TEHERAN, Feb. 2S.-An attempt
was made in this city this afternoon to
ossassinate the shah of Persia by a
bomb. His majesty was not hurt.
Three of the outriders who were ac-
companying him at the time were
killed.
The shah owes his escape to the
precautions taken to protect him from
lust such an attempt as was made this
afternoon.
He was on his way to nearby town,
where he intended to pass a few days
The procession had left the palace and
was traversing a narrow street when
two bombs were hurled down at it from
the roof of a house. One exploded in
the air, but the other struck the ground
near the shah's automobile.
This missile exploded, killed the three
outriders, wounded the chauffeur and
score of bystanders and shattered
the vehicle.
The shah was not in his automobile.
Ee had taken the precaution to send
the motor car on ahead and ride him
self in carriage further in the rear
Of the procession.
The motor car was a closed one, and
it was thought that the sovereign was
inside. AS soon as the shah heard the
explosions he alighted hurriedly from
his carriage and entered a neighborinG
house. Here he remained quietly, while
his attendants sent word for detach-
inent of troops.
Soldiers on the Scene
The soldiers were hurried to the
scene and formed in front of the house
where the shah was. He then came out
and, surrounded by big bodyguard,
returned to the palace.
The house from which the bombs
ere thrown and the buildings nearby
were searched by the police, but no ar
rests were made.
The present shah of Persia, Moham-
,ned Ali Mira, followed his father to
the throne January 9, 1907. He was the
first monarch of Persia to begin his
rule under a constitution.
national society was convoked by
him, but 1t has never fulfilled the hopes
and aspirations of the people or brought
them the reforms they demanded.
The administration of the country
has been in a state Of chaos for several
years and the popular discomfort has
been extreme.
Disturbances Grow Worse
The latter part of December disturb
ances were rife in Teheran and other
Persian cities, the lack of cooperation
between the shah and the parliament
leading to the issuance by parliament
or a manifesto in which it was set
forth that the shah was violating his
covenant with the people and asking
htat the rights of the people be not
permitted to be trodden under foot.
The ill feeling of the local factions in
Teheran developed about December 20
into hostile demonstrations. There was
shooting on the streets of the capital
and the opposing factions gathered in
large numbers near the parliament
buildings and erected barricades.
The Constitutionalists loudly de-
manded the abdication of the shah.
The shah finally accepted the demands
made on him by the Constitutional
leaders and this episode came to an end.
Mohammed Ali Mira was born June
e, 1872.

BRADLEYS
ELECTED TO
THE SENA TIE
KENTUCKY GIVES T0GA TO
FORMER GOVERNOR
Four Democratic Votes Are Given Him
in Addition to N:epubIican Ballot.
Many Changes Delay Elec-
ton Process
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 2S-
Former Governor William o. Bradley
was today declared elected to the
United States senate after joint sit
ting of the general assembly, receiving
four Democratic votes in addition to
the votes of all Republicans present.
1t had been held from the beginning
of the contest, over six weeks ago, that
majority of quorum was sufficient
for an election, and with 126 members
present today it required sixty-four
votes to elect.
The votes of four Democrats who
have steadily refused to vote for form
er Governor Beckham were transferred
today from the various Democrats on
whom they had sought to induce their
party assistants to unite to the Repub-
lican caucus nominee, and his election
promptly followed.
Changes Cause Delay
The many changes of votes made the
recapitulation a very slow process, and
1t also developed an additional vote,
but the vote for Bradley remained un-
changed. still giving him a majority of
all members present.
announcement. but the speaker finally
announced that Bradley had received
a majority of the votes and was elect
ed.
Bradley received the votes of four
Democrats, three of them from Louis
vile. Senators McNutt and Charlton
and Representatives Mueller and Lii
lard of Boyle voted with the Republi-
cans, giving Bradley sixty-four, the
number necessary to elect.
A scene of the widest excitement
prevailed before the result was an
nounced.
Democrats Are Released
Beckham came on the floor of the
house chamber and released the Dem
ocrats from their primary nomination
pledge.
Many of the Democrats jumped to
their feet and sought to change their
votes, the majority going to Congress-
man Ollie James.
A strong effort was made to induce
the four recalcitrant Democrats to
leave Bradley and vote for some DEM
ocrat.
The announcement that Bradley had
been elected senator was made after
nearly all the Democrats had changed
their votes. The four who voted for
Bradley resisted the strongest appeals
from the leaders of all their party fac
tions, declaring it was too late.
Senator -elect Bradley has been many
times honored by the Republicans of
Kentucky. being the one man of his
party to serve term as governor dur
ing the history of the state; was
indorsed as the Kentucky candidate
for the presidential nomination in 1896,
many times delegate to national con-
ventions, long the Kentucky member

appointment by President Harrison as
minister to Korea.
He is a native Kentuckian, nearly 81
years old, lawyer who was admitted
to the bar in 1865 by special act of the
legislature. being under 21 years of age
at the time. His home is In Louis
