ATTEMPT ID KILL
 GENERAL bON|LLA

New Orleans, March 6.-An abortive at- tempt upon the life of General Manuel Bonilla. leader of the recent Honduran revolution. was made in Ceiba one week ago last night, according to Associated Press mail advices received here today from Puerto Cortc=.
 Following the battle of Ceiba on Jan uarv 9. General Bonilla took up his resi- dence in that city, where he has remained since. pending the outcome of peace ne- eotiations aboard the United States ship Tacoma at Puerto Cortez. The aged general and former president has habit of roaming the streets of Ceiba at night unattended. It so happened that on Sun day night February 26, General Bonilla was attended on his walk by two soldiers who discovered man standing in the shadow of door with a rifle aimed at Bonila's head. The man was quickly disarmed and arrested.
 On the following night fire was dis covered near the cuartell, or military barracks, but instead of rushing to the scene as is their custom. the soldiers hastened to General Bonilla's residence, suspecting plot against his life.
 The story is denied by the authorities in Ceiba, but the report which reached Puerto Cortez on the steamer Siren is considered well founded.

15O CHICKENS ARE
 STOLEN IN A WEEK

For the past five days sthe police have been greatly troubled by chicken thieves operating in the neighborhood of Ave nue F from Fourteenth to Thirtieth streets and in North Birmingham, North Highlands and other parts of the city.
 Numerous thefts of chickens have been reported to the police department during the month of March and atten- tion has been called to the numerous depredations by constant complaints. The scouts at the central station and those at the outside precincts have been in structed to be on the lookout for chicken thieves and it is hoped that results will be had.
 Attention is called to the fact that most citizens keep their fowls in a flimsy outhouse and do not lock them at night. i This makes it an easy matter for the thieves to get the chickens. The only charge that can be made against them upon capture is petit larcency
 All citizens who have chickens or other birds are requested to build a substantial fowl house and put a lock on it. To steal the chickens the thief would have to break the lock, which constitutes bur glary, which is a more serious crime than petit larceny.
 The following chicken thefts were re- ported to the police department yester- day: w. V. Harrison, 1515 Fourteenth avenue, south, eight hens; J. T. Hick- man, 21S0 Avenue H, south, IA hens and one rooster; J. T. MeGaver, 3620 Avenue E. south, P hens; Mrs. Killian, S72O Ave nue F, south, 15 chickens. Total chickens stolen yesterday, 50.
 1 The following chicken thefts were re- ported to the department last week: .. r. Algood. 2605 Twentieth avenue, north, 2S chickens; Will Galloway, 2S17 Twenty first avenue, IS chickens; Mrs. McLaugh- lin, Forty-frst street between Third and | Fourth avenues, 12 chickens; Mrs Car raway, 2S04 Twentieth avenue, north, 16 | chickens R.

NEW YORK BROKER
 LOSES $1O0,OOO Aged Man Knocked Down
 By Thief ENVELOPE IS MISSING George Bancroft Loses Securities When Trick Is Played in Finan- cial Section-Was Stolen
 Last Thursday

New York, March 6.-George Bancroft, ST, a broker S6 years old, discovered to- cay that he was robbed last Thursday afternoon of securities worth approximate ly S1O0O00 Tn the vestibule of the Produce Exchange Safety Deposit and Storage company.
 Last Thursday Mir Braneroft placed the securities into a large envelope tied with red tape and bearing the firms name in the corner Alone he walked the 200 feet from his office to the produce exchange, thence down a flight of steps from the street level entrance to the vaults.
 Just as MT Brancroft was about to turn the corner at the end of the corri- dor into the vaults, a tall man same run ming around the corner and collided with him. The shock threw MT. Bancroft off his feet mad in falling he dropped the envelope
 That was the cue for an undersized young man who had been leaning against the corridor wall. He stepped up to MT. Bancroft, assisted him to his feet and was solicitious to tuck under his arm an envelope. MT. Bancroft, on the other hand, thought it was the envelope that fell. He went on to deposit it in his box as usual.
 Today when George Bancroft, Jr., his son, unlocked the box he found that the only envelope there contained three old newspapers. A clever substitution had been effected when the elder Bancroft was upset in the vault corridor
 The robbers, it is believed, knew on what day and hour it was the firms custom to deposit it's securities. They knew that MT. Bancroft habitually carried them in an envelope of certain appear ance for they provided themselves in ad- vance with so close a duplicate that It deceived even the man who, of all others. should have best known its appearance.
 So bold robbery in daylight, in the very heart of the city's financial dis trict, shocked the police. Years ago In- spector Byrnes had drawn a dead line across the city at Fulton street, below which he ordered that no crook or pick pocket should go on even an innocent er- rand, on pain of instant trouble with the police.
 Having tried the order the under world ultimately obeyed and for years the fin- ancial district was the safest place in the world for a man with large sums of money on his person. Bank runners and messenger boys ran about the street, their pockets literally stuffed with bills of large denominations.

GROCERS' CASE ID
 START AT ONCE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY STREET SAYS THAT DELAYED ACTION
 AGAINST ALLEGED COMBINE WILL BEGIN AT EARLY DATE

That the government would proceed di- rectly against the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association by the plan outlined in the dissolution petition filed almost one year ago, was the declagation of Judge Oliver D. Street, United States district attorney, who is in Birmingham attend ing the federal court.
 He said yesterday that he had reiter- ated so often that the government was about to start that he was inclined to refrain from talking of the litigation, but that he realized how interested the people were in the outcome of the case and how restless they probably were in the start of the dissolution petition.
 MT. Street said that the United States circuit court would be asked to appoint lawyer to take the testimony in the case within a very short time and that the case would forthwith proceed.
 Many things have prevented the be- ginning of the grocers dissolution case, said MT. Street yesterday. Some of the interferences came from Washington and others from this territory. Chiefly the delay has been on account of engage ments of Assistant Attorney General Har- rison, who will be personally in touch with the case. Now he is at liberty, l understand, to start this case and I an ticipate that action will proceed soon.
 sOnce started, the case will go right ahead" concluded MT. Street. We have requested the circuit court of appeals 10 expedite it, and from indications this will be done. As a matter of fact there is only the evidence to be taken and then the court will give a decision. Fol lowing this the case will be carried t' the United States supreme court

DEPOT SAFE AT
 SHELBY ROBBED
Yeggmen Obtain $115 in Cash and Leave no Clue to Their
 Identity

A report was received in Birming- ham yesterday morning that the safe in the depot of the louisville and Nash vile railroad at Shelby had been blown open early yesterday morning and $115 in cash stolen.
 The explosion woke several people near the scene and the officers were notified of the robbery. They hastened to the scene, but failed to find any trace of the robbers.
 The. safe was rifled and all the money taken. Nothing else was dis turbed. It is thought that the work was done by expert safebloWers who make Birmingham their headquarters This is one of a number of robberies that have occurred of late just out side the Birmingham district, which leads to the belief that the robbers make their headquarters at Birming ham.
