Bomb Thrown at the Shah.

Teheran, Persia Feb. 2S-Moham
med Ali Mira, Shah of Persia, mar
rowly escaped death at the hands of
an assassin Friday. A bomb was
thrown from the roof of house at the
Shah's automobile, in which it was
supposed he was a passenger, the ex-
plosion killing three of the vehicles es-
corts and wounding the chauffeur and
score of bystanders. Fortunately the
Shah had taken the precaution to send
his automobile in front of the vehicle
which he occupied and to this fore
sight probably owes his escape from
death.

do this, and the lockout followed.

able activity even kreater than the past had witnessed.
 Occasional unsettlement was caused by the reports of damage to the spring wheat crop and of danger to the corn crop from drought and excessive tenn perature. The official weather map supplied some means of relief from these anxieties by Thursday in the showing of sufficient rains in the corn belt where the greatest need existed. The conflict of views among experts over the extent of harm to the spring wheat crop caused some allowance to be made for speculative exaggeration in these reports. and the most trust worthy authorities In the trade sup ported this reserve. The showing of the government report published on Friday was heralded with fair accu- racy by the preliminary estimates of the trade authorities. The beginning of harvesting operations of spring wheat was accepted as warrant for re- lying on present estimates of large and profitable crops of the leading cereals.
 The strong money market position in the great centers of capital, and espe- cially in New York, is a potent factor in the determined confidence which Is being reflected in the securities mar ket.- Reserves continue to accumulate in banks to a degree that affords a 1eellnk or security III all or resources to meet all requirements. Money on call in New York loaned be- low 1 per cent for the first time in four years.

 The Baldwin Exhibit.
 Mir. Hutehings conducts the Beach Hotel a neat little retreat at Battles Wharf. Here he is assembling tEc fruits, the vegetables and other pro- ducts for the exhibit. Already he has collection that would be creditable to the California country. Many of the products come from the Hutchings place. He is thrifty. energetic Eng lishman who once had charge of the farm at Rajah Lodge. the fine country homo of W. F. Aldrich in Shelby county.
 At Battles Wharf Mir. Hutchings has about twenty acres surrounding his hotel. He purchased de place five years ago. All of the improvements there he made with his own hands as- sisted only by Mrs. Hutchings. her self an Englishwoman. They have beautiful lawns. fine gardens, fruit orchards. orange groves, herds of cows and hundreds of chickens.
 The exhiibt for the fair includes all kinds of preserved fruits, vegetables. fish and oysters. Many of the jars were prepared by Mrs. Hutchings. Soon the Hutchings exhibit is to be supplemented by those from all parts of the county and the whole will form a collection that win surprise the peo- pie who see it at the fairs.
 The Agricultural Society has em- ployed agents who are travelling in tn e county impressing upon the people the importance of assisting Mir. Hutchings with tho collection. Mir. Hutchings himself has his eye on the prize money and he declares that 1t Is just as good as in the treasury of the Baldwin County Agricultural Society.
 The production. of oranges in Bald win county was a distinct surprise. A number of groves yielded fruit for the markets the first time last year. This season the orange industry will be of some importance in the county and 1t is an industry that will grow undoubtedly with the years.
 About one mile back from the shore at Battles Wharf, on the Foley road. Is the place of Dr. Scott. who removed to Baldwin county from Ozark. Dr. Scott has hundreds of orange trees that bore a splendid crop last year. It is said that he sold more than half his crop at his front gate for forty cents the dozen. The oranges were fine and the summer resorters were great consumers.
 Dr. Scott's place Is one of the most comfortable Tn the county. lie was attracted to Baldwin county about five years ago. He has an ideal home and he and his interesting family are liv- ing a quiet but contented life in the woods.
 Another Baldwin county man has gone in to produce Japanese persim- mons. He devotes most of his time to the industry. They grow as large as a full sized orange. Last year he sold his entire crop at approximately five cents each.
 It is a surprising fact that most of the foreign born people of Baldwin county subscribe heartily to the pro- hibition of the liquor traffic. They are law-abiding. hardworking, thrifty and frugal. The colony companies are contributing materially to the upbuild- ing of Alabama. Try Brunswick Smoker, Clear Ha- vanas 5e.

E. |. KENNEDY
 SHOT A NEGRO Tragedy Yesterday on Red Bridge Road. THE OLD QUARREL ENDED Negro Had Drawn a Long
 Knife. As Result of sunday Afternoon Guar l. rel Hanson Davis, a Negro, ia
 Dead and E. l.. Kennedy is in
 Cell in Pofs, Headquar-

Claiming self defense, B. L. Kennedy clerk In the store of J. c. Abercrom- bic at the beginning of the Red Bridge Road. yesterday afternoon about { o'clock shot and instantly killed Ram son Davis. a negro. Kennedy was ar- rested by onicer williamson shortly after the killing and was last night in- carcerated in cell at headquarters.
 Kennedy it is alleged, had been drink ing prior to the shooting, and the only version of the affair is that obtained from him. Kennedy alleges that going over to the restaurant across the street from his place of business he was ap- preached by Davis at the entrance, the negro threatening to kill him. Ken- nedy paid little attention to the negro going back to the lunch counter whore he placed ar order.
 While waiting for the waiter to bring the food he was again approached by Davis, who after further threats drew a dangerous looking knife and continued his advance. No one could be found who was present in the res- taurant at the time of the killing with the exception of the walter who was evidently in the back part of the es- tablishment, as the police got no ver- sion of the killing with the exception the statement from Kennedy.
 Kennedy entertained no doubt from the threatening attitude of the negro that q murderous assault was intend ed. Whipping out his revolver. he fired two shots. both taking effect in the region overthe negros heart. It is believed that death resulted instan- taneousiy.
 From Kennedy's statement to the po- lice the tragedy represented the finale of a long standing difficulty between the two. It appears that Davis had several times threatened Kennedy's life, and he had been anticipating serious trouble for some time. To this fact his prompt action in defending htms self was due
 Kennedy made no attempt to escape and was arrested shortly after the commission of the deed by Officer Will Hanson at his place of business. At docketed against him, and he was placed in a cell still under the influ- ence of liqhor.
 Steps are being taken by the police to collect eyidence in the case. Near the scene of the tragedy there was a great crowd of negroes and 1t Is not believed that 1t will be difficult to secure wit. nesses whose testimony Will shed some light upon the long standing quarrel alleged to have existed. Great excite ent was occasioned in that section of the city by the affair and precaution was taken by Officer williamson to off, set any action of a mob which he fear ed might be formed to take Kennedy by violence from the police.
 It was reported that the trouble started in Abercrom bie's store. but this is denied by witnesses.
 Kennedy will probably be given A preliminary hearing before Recorder Baber during the early part of the week.

 The movement in the stock market bore many evidences of concentrated origin and of professional devices or manipulation to stimulate the advance, but its effect in sustaining speculative conNdence was none the less marked owing to the general belief that pow erful financial groups with superior means of information regarding the course of affairs and of business pros pects were responsible for the bulk of the operations.

No one expects him to get up in a bus or a train to give his seat to a lady-he would block the gang way if he did. Even his wife doesn't expect him to stoQp to pick up things when she drops them.
