Dental district. He dropped some-
thing, leaped into the car and rapidly
drove away.
An explosion followed almost imme-
diately. The house burst into flames.
Mr.. Lawler. his wife and one child were
trapped within William Lacy and Ed
ward Pulford. who were passing, seized
a ladder and rescued Oscar Lawler, Jr.,
years old.
Mr.. Lawler dragged his wife to a win

her from an upper story until her feet
touched an awning over a window on the
ground floor. Then he leaped to the
ground. They were removed TO hos

county. State and Federal authorities led
to the belief that the bomb was placed
between two Ave gallon cans filled with
| gasolene or some other highly inham-
mable liquid. Experts found fragments
OF the bomb sufficient TO reconstruct It.
They said 1t had been made of a piece
OF iron pipe about ten inches high and
six inches in diameter. Two discs OF
metal had been placed as ends, appar-
entity held in place by two bolts passing
through both ends and the pipe itself.
| They also found the two Ave gallon
cans that had contained liquid.
II was disclosed that there were three
explosions. The contents OF the two
cans of liquid is believed to have ex-
ploded after the bomb The bomb and
cans had been placed on a concrete walk
almost directly below where the Lawlers
| lay sleeping.
Mr. and Mrs. Lawler were sleeping on
| a porch in the south side Of the house
| opening from second floor room and
screened from the street by an angle OF
the building. Miss Bessie Mills, a nurse
| and Oscar Lawler. Jr., were sleeping on
a porch at the rear or east end Of the
| house. The two other children were
away, on the ranch Of Dan Murphy.
| Mr.. Lawler served as Assistant
United States Attorney General for the
Interior Department for two years be-
ginning May 1. 1909. He resigned and
returned here to practise law. He wal
a special prosecutor OF the alleged dyna

VIENNA, Aug. 3.-Bela Kun has ar
rived here following the collapse OF
the Soviet Government in Budapest
and has been interned by the Austrian
police. His friends put the blame for
his fall upon the failure Of the planned
world revolution. lack of military aid
from Premier Lenine and Secretary Of
War Trotzsky Of Russia and disin-
clination of the Hungarians to make
further sacrifices.
During a sitting Of the Soldiers and
Workers Council in Budapest Bella
Kun entered the meeting. and in the
course Of a short speech admitted the
proletariat dictatorship must come to
an END since too many Of his own
comrades had improperly grasped the
meaning OF Socialism. Kun spoke with
great emotion, and at one period broke
down SO completely that he had to in
terrupt his speech several minutes un-
Ii. he had mastered his tears.
1t Is admitted on all sides that the
present Budapest Government is provi-
sorry since the farmers and bourgeoisie
are unrepresented. This defect will be
remedied as soon as the intended cleo
tions are held. for the country voters
certainly will not be content with a
Cabinet containing so large proportion
of ex-members of the Kun administra-
ton.
In the meantime II is essential for
the Entente 20 act with vigor and

the speedy despatch of food and raw

PARIs, Aug. 3.-Once again the Ital-
Ian negotiations seem to be approach

put up to President Wilson. Accord
Ing to the French newspapers, For
elgn Minister Tttoni after some dis
cussion has reached an agreement
with the French and Is about to de-
part for London to lay his proposal
before Premier Lloyd George prior to
sending 1t to President Wilson.
One of the papers says that under
this arrangement the city Of Fiume
would 60 to Italy, while the port and
the surrounding territory would be
under the League Of Nations, Italy on
her side renouncing considerable
part of her Dalmatian claims. The
same paper asserts that complete &C
cord has been reached on the subject
Of the colonies, while Italy agrees to
allow her interests In Asia Minor tc
walt upon the decision Of the United
States In regard to the Turkish man
dates.
Should Premier Lloyd George give
his approval. as it Is stated the
French already have done, three OF
the four Powers which signed the
London treaty-France, Italy and
Great Britain--then would address a
joint note to President Wilson asking
him to approve the agreement.
differs From U. 9. Plan.
Such a settlement would not bt
along the lines on which the Amer
leans have been working. and its ap
proval would require the President tc
recede from the position which he
has occupied up to this time, Of un
alterable opposition to the cession t.

In another effort to convert the
Americans to the Grecian side of tn,

the completion of the Bulgarian
treaty Premier Venizelos of Greece

followed a deadlock, when, despite 9

Bill HuLsey Flies in Airplane OUer Big City of Birmingham
AgeHerald Man Tells Pilot to Do All His Stunts-Loop
 the Loop and Tail Spin Does Not Daze Hulsey

Judgment. One fellow who went up into an airplane recently stated that he looked up and saw the ground and looked down and saw the clouds. At this moment he was just coming out O. the loop which was so sudden that he didn't know it.
 The grounds for landing at the Fair grounds are in splendid condition and the motors of the airplanes are in the best condition. Experts go over every part of the machine before each flight which is one of the strict rules kept in force. It is just as safe to ride in this airplane as it is in motor car on the street. G. Mason Perry, states that he would rather ride in the airplane than the motor car. You have nothing to hit or take the chances with the csfe- lessness of other motorists. An ex- perienced pilot is trained not to take chances and that is one of the most inn portant points of safety in flying. The government has trained thousands of men to fly and the strict instructions was for the purpose of preventing ac- cidents. If you are anxious to fly be sure to get your ticket early and go to the fair grounds. Tickets are on sale at Hagan-D Dunlap Drug Co, Norton Drug O.. Tutwiler Drug Co, and at Blachs clothing store. There will be only a limited number to go ur so be sure to get your ticket before they are all sold.

THE HEAVY MAN

We read about Sandow being strong ran but it happens that he has met one more than his equal in Hewitt Heniger, sales manager for the car department of Denegre Car and Truck company. He represents six lines of cars from the lowest to the highest price on the market and up to yesterday they were
 sixty-six cars behind on signed orders.
 The orders called for Pierce-Arrow, Apperson, Franklin, Lexington, Allen and the popular low priced Briscoe. Try to buy one of these cars and you'll find out just how long 1t takes to get one. It is expected, stated MT. Hen ninger that more than one hundred cars will be received within the next 1 few weeks and they are in hopes that all back orders may be filled. Hen ringer is called the heavy man because he knows how to do the heavy work in selling half dozen lines of auto
 mobiles.

Back to the busy shop last week, came Truman Morrison. manager of Crawford's Quick Tire shop after spending two weeks at the big Fire stone factory and other points. Mir. Morrison states that Firestone has in- creased the manufacture of tires but up to the present time orders cannot te caught up. He went on to state why Crawfords Quick Tire Service has forged ahead in the tire business. MT. Morrison states that they first lined up their policy and stuck to 1t which has enabled them to maint tain higst class 1ganization of workers who are ready -snd able to give service. It is more ike 8 family affair than place of sp....lness. Everyone has their heart in Sie growth of the concern and the spirit of cooperation is one that Is found in but few places One will have 10 find out from one of the employees just how simple and easy things are managed. MT. Morrison states that everyone works with a contented mind and that's what has made Crawfords Quick Tire Shop, so popular with the motorists.

Yesterday afternoon, G. Mason Perry, pilot took Bill Hulsey. on his first trip through the clouds and over the city of Birmingham, in an airplane. The first trip of thirty minutes didn't dNze Hulsey and he made another flight with Fred German, who is also an ex- pert aviator of the aviation fields. Hull sey expressed his wi~@ngness to ride by the modern construction and safety points of the adrplane that is being de- zponstrated. lie stated that 1t was the sensation of his life that he always wished for flight in the air and he recommends that anyone whN ever craved to ride in an airplane should take the opportunity while these ex- perts are in Birmingham Sunday and Monday.

RECORD FOR LOW UPKEEP

Would you believe that out of the 147 Cleveland motorcycles that we have on the road that we do not do but about $100 worth of repairing a week T' said Earl Morrison. There is great demand for lightweight motor cycles like the Cleveland and the eco nomical upkeep has made many friends in Birmingham. Many firms are using, them for their collecting. many indi- viduals are using them for business and pleasure purposes, as their up- keep is so very small it is no expense to own one. A Cleveland will run about 75 miles on a gallon of gaso- line and the tire and repair upkeep is so small that the upkeep is within the reach of everyone. It is the real ization of their economy that has made them so popular in this city and else where"
