THE BOMB ASSAULT
ON PERSIA'S RULER

TEHERAN, Persia, Feb. 2S.-Mo-
manned Ali Mira, shah of Persia,
narrowly escaped death at the hands
Of an assassin today. A bomb was
thrown from the roof of a house at
the shah's automobile, in which it was
supposed he was a passenger. The ex-
plosion killed three of the vehicles es-
corts and wounded the chauffeur and
a score of bystanders.
Fortunately the shah had taken the
precaution TO send his automobile in
front of the vehicle which he occupied.
The assassins believed the shah was
in the motor. car, which was a closed
one, but which, it developed, carried
no passengers.
When the explosion occurred the
shah's carriage was some distance in
the rear of the automobile. and the rul-
er at once left his carriage and took
refuge in a nearby store. Surrounded
by strong guard he returned to the
palace.
No arrests have been made, although
the buildings in the vicinity of the ex-
plosion were carefully searched for the
assassins.
The cavalry eseorting the shah began
firing wildly in all directions immedi-
ately after the explosion. Twelve per-
sons are known to have been injured
by bullets from their weapons.
The street in the vicinity of the ex-
plosion was filled with debris and
smeared with the blood of the men and
horses. Further trouble is anticipated.
