2 KILLED BY BOMB
SHAFTS CAPITAL THE SCENE OF
ANOTHER OUTRAGE.
MANY ARRESTS OF SUSPECTS MADE
Man Who Sought Life Of President Of
Argentina Thought to
Be Insane.

Teheran-A bomb exploded in a side
street of this city early Saturday morn
ing and killed two laborers.
The occurrence created some local
excitement, but there was nothing to
show any connection with the attempt
made Friday upon the life of the
Shah, when unknown persons hurled
two bombs at the automobile in which
he was supposed to be riding through
the streets.
A deputation from parliament pro-
ceeded to the palace Saturday morn
ing and congratulated the Shah upon
his escape from death. Saturday night
this city will be illuminated as a sign
of rejoicing.
Many Arrests Made.
Several persons suspected of COM
plicity in Fridays plot to blow up the
urday. The police will give out no
information, but it is rumored that
one or two of the prisoners are men
of high rank.
Much apprehension exists that the
attempted assassination marks a re-
newal of the troubles which recently
convulsed Persia as a result of the
Liberal elements resistance of the
Shah's efforts to override the consti-
tuition granted by his predecessor.
Plan for AbsoIutism Suspected.
Though the ruler has o~stensibly &C.
quiesced in a constitutional govern
ment, many of his subjects think he
plans a return to absolutism at the
first favorable opportunity.
Besides the three members of the
Shah's suite killed and the 81 wounded
by the bomb, it is now learned that a
dozen or more persons in the crowd of
spectators which lined the streets
were wounded by shots the guard fired
into the throng after the explosion.
President Alcorta Escapes Bomb.
Buenos Ayres-A man believed to
be insane threw a bomb at DR..
]. Figueroa Alcorta. president of
the republic, Friday evening. The
president was alighting from his car
riage. The bomb fell at his feet and
did not explode. He kicked the infer
nal machine out of his way and went
to the assistance of his aide-de-camp,
Capt. Anabla, who had seized the
thrower. While the police put the
bomb in a bucket of water the presi-
dent expostulated with the man who
had attempted to kill him.

The present attempt to set the people

lions bound to terms of amity with the

AVERAGE INCOME OF
CRIMINAL So A WEEK
(San Francisco Chronicle.)


In Chicago there is to be held next
month"; the police department per-
hitting, a convention of criminals.
The gathering has been called by
DIR. Ben l.. Reitman, who to make
the members of the underworld quite
at home, calls himself king of
Tramps, and who is said to have
spent the last twenty years in doing
rescue work. The subjects of discus
sion as announced include papers on
do the Police Give the Criminal a
Fair Deal?" and THE Average In
come of the Criminal"
We hardly suppose that the con-
vention will be representative of ali
the criminal activities. Only the
bungling malefactors who get into
prison-and necessarily out again if
they are to be present-will it is
likely, attend. One of the subjects
assigned for an address is Twenty
one Years a Criminal, Twenty Years
a Prisoner" The diamond-wearing
gamblers, the Napoleons Of bank
wrecking, the keen practitioners of
quick finance undoubtedly will not
grace the convention with their
presence.
10 the uoHCIiLHIudI pOTIIOD OIL the
community probably the most inter
esting address will be that which
will deal with the crooks average
income Some Woodworking stu
dents of statistics have made a
very careful investigation which in
dfcates that the average earning of
burglars, pickpockets, embezzlers,
swindlers, and crooks of every de-
gree is So a week. If this be tru. e
it marks it as the poorest paid in
dustry which attracts brain and
Drawn, and some inside facts from
a recognized member of the profess
sion will be welcomed
There is reason to believe that the
SO a week estimate, however, arriv-
ed at, is not far wrong. A number of
recent cases certainly show that be-
ing criminal pays poorly in dol
lars and cents. William F. Walker, IN
der sixteen-year sentence at Hart
ford, Conn, for embezzling $3.50 600
from savings bank, had only 81 when

is no necessity for him to come to

II STORY.

III WHO is fearless to speak the
IL truth is certain to bring upon him
self the harsh judgment of others who
may choose to believe a lie. But one
course vas open to jeremiah to whom
God had revealed his plan concerning
the certainty of judgment upon Jeru-
salem. He must speak, and speak the
truth, however unpopular and unwel-
come that truth might be.
Surely it could not appear very
loyal to his king and the city in which
he dwelt to counsel submission to the
king of Babylon, and yet he knew
as God had revealed it to him that
resistance were useless and hat the
judgment of God spoken against the
nation because of it's idolatry and sin
could not be averted. And because
the prophet feared God rather than
men, and because he must obey him
and speak his message all through
Jerusalem, he cried, saying:
Thus saith the Lord. He that re-
maineth in this city shall die by the
sword, by the famine and by the pes.
thence: but he that goeth forth to the
Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have
his life for a prey, and shall live.
Thus saith the Lord, This city shall
surely be given into the hand of the
king of Babylon's army, which shall
take it,"
What a stir that message caused.
Scarcely had jeremiah finished de-
livering his proclamation in the
market place in Jerusalem, ere the
princes had come from the presence
of the king with authority to seize
him and do with him as they de-
sired.
Now, the king feared the prophet
exceedingly, and could never before
be persuaded to lay violent hands
upon him, though he had shut him up
in the court of the prison on various
occasions. But on this day the
princes had come IN such a rage that
he could not resist their demands:
Let this man be put to DEATH"
they cried; FOR thus he weakeneth
the hands of the men of war that re-
main in this city, and the hands of
all the people, in speaking such words
unto them: for this man seeketh not
the welfare of this people, but the
hurt"
And having obtained the consent of
ahe king, they rushed forth to seize
the person of the prophet, fully de-
termined upon killing him. But
when they had come upon him they
feared to do so because of the people.
who, wasted by disease and lack of
food, were now in great distress, and
the hope of deliverance from their
suffering held out by the prophet
seemed good to them.
Instead, therefore, of killing him.
the princes drew him to the prison of
Malchiah, which was a terrible dun
geon, into whose depths the light
was unable to penetrate. Into this
place then jeremiah was cast, and
into the thick, filthy mire of the bot
tom of the pit the feet of the prophet
sank until he could neither move this
way nor that. He was in great dan
ger of losing his balance and becom-
ing submerged in the soft, oozy
ground. To prevent this, he worked
his way slowly and painfully to the
side of the pit, and, bracing his body
