Three Attendants KILLED
By Missile.

TEHERAN, Persia. Feb. z.-An attempt
was made in this city this afternoon 70 as
sassinate the shah Of Persia by a bomb.
His majesty was not hurt. Three OF the
outriders who were accompanying him at
the time were killed.
The shah owes his escape to the precau-
tions taken TO protect him from just such
an attempt as was made this afternoon.
He was on his way to a nearby town,
where he intended to pass few days. The
procession had left the palace and was
traversing a narrow street when two bombs
were hurled down at il from the roof of a
house. One exploded in the air, but the
other struck the ground near the shah $
automobile This missile in exploding
killed the three outriders. wounded the
chauffeur and a score of bystanders and
shattered the vehicle. The shah, however,
was not in his automobile. He had taken
the precaution to send the motor car on
ahead and ride himself IN a carriage fur
ther in the rear Of the procession. The
motor car was a closed one and II was
thought that the sovereign was inside.
AS soon as the shah heard the explosions
he alighted and hurried from his carriage
and entered a neighboring house. Here he
remained quietly while his attendants sent
word for a detachment of troops. The
soldiers were hurried TO the scene and
formed in front of the house where the
shah was. He then came out and, sur
rounded by a big bodyguard, returned to
the palace.
The house from which the bombs were
thrown and the buildings nearby were
searched by the police. but no arrests
were made.
