DOUBLE KILLING IN
 ATTEMPTED ESCAPE

New Orleans, June 21.-A mob tried to storm the fourth precinct police station early this morning and two men have been shot, one being in- stantly killed.
 Walter R. Daugherty 30 years old held by the police on the charge of theft of an automobile. with driving a stolen car from Louisiana to Illinois and with being fugitive from Marion Ills; was shot and killed shortly after midnight in an attempt to make his escape from the fourth precinct po- lice station.
 Rosalius False. Al years old, apatrol- man, was shot and probably fatally wounded by Daugherty in his attempt to escape.
 Daugherty asked the doorman at the station for some water and when the cell door was opened to give him a bucket full he knocked the door man down and grabbed his revolver and jumped from a window. The firing then started and it was first reported at police headquarters that a mob had attacked the station but the only shots fired was those in the fight which resulted in the killing of Daugherty and the wounding of the patrolman.

FIND REVEALS ANCIENT LAW

Philadelphia. June 20.-What is said 10 be the oldest known written code ot laws in the world. probably ante-dat- ing that of Hammurabi by at least ! thousand years. has been discovered in part amcng the hitherto untranslatef clay tablets from Ripper at the Uni versity ot Pennsylvania meseum. The Hammurahi code was prepared about 2100 + C.. and was discovered abou. twenty years ago on large dorite stone by Professor Hillprechet. the egythologist.
 The laws. which have just been translated by Abbe Scheil of Paris, deal with responsibilities of hired servants. with trespass on farms and orchards, harb ring 1f slaves. rentals. rights of slave women who have borne children to thei- masters. punishment for adul- tery etc.
 One interesting statute provides tha- rentals must run for three years in case a man has taken over house the owner does not know how to manage. This is somewhat obscure and may mean that all rentals were for that

Bessemer June Especial. )--At a large and very enthusiastic meeting of Shriners at the Masonic hall Sun day afternoon the Bessemer Shrine Club was reorganized with the follow ing officers; Thomas R. Mitchell, president; R. B. Ragsdale. vice presi- dent; T. J. Jones. secretary, and L. I. Lipscomb, treasurer
 About sixty new members were added to the roll and many questions of interest to the future welfare of the club were discussed
 It was decided to have an outing for the Shriners and their families at an early date and a meeting will be held on next Sunday afternoon at 2:3O o'clock to hear report of the enter tainment committee. which will plan the outing.
 The committee is as follows. A. R. Oxford. Jr.; Milton E. Baird and T. J. Jones. The discussion of organiz- Ing patrol and also drum corps was entered into with enthusiasm and this will be taken up at d later meeting. Regular meetings will be held once
 month and 1t is purposed to have i've club with large membership.
 Bessemer has been experiencing an ice shortage from which no immediate reiler IS promised by the management Of the local Ice plant. All consumers have been cut about 25 per cent. it is stated, and the reason given, for this at the factory is that there is not, enough ice being manufactured there to supply the demand. There is no remedy for this. it is stated, and the same conditions will likely prevail all the summer The plant at Bessemer is not adequate for manufacturing q sufficient quantity of ice to supply the local market and a delay in enlarging the plant to meet the growing needs Of the city will likely cause a limita- tion on ice all of the summer
 At the beginning of the hot weather the local plant had large storage plant filled with ice. but that supply has been exhausted and the marxe must depend on the daily output. ac- cording to the manager of the plant Manager Woodrow advises consumers to practice means of economy in the use of ice. as the supply will likely be limited all the summer.
 There will be a non-jury docket in the Bessemer division of circuit court this week, and there will be a number ol iHkioI CdoeS tIleu to CledT the docket for the spring terms of court Court will adjourn the last of June until tho fall term begins.
