SHAH SENDS PROXY FOR BOMBS.
Three Outriders Killed and His linz
personator Hurt at Teheran, Persia.

Teheran, Persia.-Taking the pre-
caution of seating a proxy in the re-
gal automobile while he himself rode
at the tail of a procession in a modest
carriage, the Shah of Persia, Moham-
med Ali Mira, cheated would-be as
sassins in an attempt on his life here.
Two bombs were thrown from a roof.
One exploded over the Shah's auto
mobile, the other landed in the street
and blew the car in wreckage against
the side of a house. Three outriders
of the imperial bodyguard were killed
and a score of persons in the street
were seriously injured. The Shah's
proxy, clad in the magnificent robes
of the ruler, was taken out of the
wreck of the automobile, cut and
bruised and suffering from internal
injuries.

MORE LIGHT ON SUBMARINES.
Resolution Calling Upon Navy De-
Dartment For Information.

Washington, D. C.-To broaden
the proposed investigation OF the
Electric Boat Company, of New Jer-
sey, Representative Lilley, of Connec-
ticut, introduced another resolution.
This time Mr.. Lilley wants to know
what has happened to make subma-
rines cost 1886 a ton in 1908, where
as these boats in 1902 cost only
s745.45 per ton. He wishes to know
why nearly half as much as was paid
for the boats commissioned in 1903
has been since expended on them for
repairs and why lie is that these boats,
for which additional repairs are said
to be necessary, are practically use
less. He wants 90 know why on
tracts for everything pertaining to
submarines contain secret clauses
where as there is no secrecy about
the contract for other vessels in the
navy.

possible by making a detour of many

Hunters Took It For a Bear.

William Worcester, of Bloomfield,
had a fur overcoat. He wore it skat-

warm. Then he hung it on the fence
and went back skating. Meanwhile
two hunters saw the coat from afar
off and began to stalk it. Bang!
Bang!" presently rang out in the
still air, and the riddled coat fell to
the ground. When the hunters came
up there were many explanations. In
place of the coat they had taken for a
bear they gave Worcester a fox skin
and entertained his friends lavishly.

TELLS OF FEELING IN THE
EAST-BRINGS THIRD MON
STER ENGINE FOR ORE LINE.

Il. {. Boyle arrived in East Ely
last evening with engine 80, the third
of the powerful 300 ton engines for
use in handling the ore trains of the
Nevada Northern. Mr.. Boyle came
with the engine direct from the
American Locomotive Pittsburg
shops. He expects to get the loco
motive ready for steam today and to
give it a workout tomorrow Mon
day he expects to have it pulling
cars. The fourth and last of these
engines for the ore line is under con-
struction and will be along in about
a month.
Mr.. Boyle has been with the Amer
lean Locomotive Co for 30 years
For some years past he has been con-
nected with the delivery department
and has taken engines for the COM
pany to all parts of the United
States, Canada and Mexico and put
them in successful operation.

Germs. We are far, however. from
the big business of the first half of

with work and found 1t impossible
to make deliveries any where near
as fast as locomotives were needed.
Il look for decided increase of
business with us and in all lines if
Taft is elected. However, the iCco-
motive builders will not participate
as largely in the gain as will most
other manufacturers. This fer the
reason that the railroads of the conn
try are supplied with sufficient equip
ment to handle boom business. All
of them have many idle locomotives
with exception of the Milwaukee.

Despite the honest belief of the

advantage. Every point in the wind

NEW YORK. Oct Charges
were made today by Norman b. Mack,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee. that the declaration of
John d. Rockefeller for Taft was
the result of deal between the Re-
publican national committee and
Standard Oil whereby the national
committee received large campaign
contributions and Mr.. Rockefeller
the promises. Mr. Mack said that
he understood the $20, 900 fine
against Standard oil will be fixed up
in the event of Taft's election as
part of the bargain Mr. Mack said:
Standard Oil has landed where
everybody knew il would. Mr.. Rookie
feller held out for the price and got
it. His declaration for Taft is good
for at least 100000 votes in the
doubtful states. We now have the oil
trust and the steel trust lined up
side by side working for Taft.
Chairman Mack declared he had
learned that the Republican national
committee had campaign fund of
100000 and that of this sum $2,-
100000 would be used for coercion
and bribery.
