GRIEF OYER WIFE
 LEADS TO SUICIDE
Robert Star Ends Life On Ems ley Street Corner

Despondency over the death of his wife two years ago caused Robert Star, 40, collector for the Southern Life In surance company, to stand on the cor ,ner of Eighteenth street, and Ensley avenue, Ensley, and shoot himself. This is the belief of Ensley police, who were investigating his death Saturday night.
 Witnesses said that Star walked out of store at o'clock Saturday aft ernoon, stopped on the corner, pulled the gun from his pocket, and fired one shot through his head. e
 Star had been making his home with Dr. J. c. Sellers of Edgewood, brother in-law. He is said to have some broth CTS whose whereabouts are unknown.
 Assistant Coroner H. H. Williams made a preliminary investigation Sat urday afternoon. The case will be turned over to Coroner J. D. Russum for further investigation Monday.
 The body of Star was turned over to Echols &. Angwin by the coroner to be prepared for burial. Funeral arrange ments will be announced after afi ef- fort to locate his brothers.

POWER OFFICIALS WILL TAKE PART IN CANADA MEET
Many Stockholders From This Section. Will
 Attend

Stockholders of the Alabama Power company have received formal notice of meeting to be held in Montreal on October 10, at which time the Ala bama Traction, Light and Power com pany. a Canadian company now own ing the Alabama Power company, will be converted into the Southeastern Power and Light company of Maine. Officials of the Alabama Power com pany in Birmingham will attend the meeting as well as many stockholders from this section of the state.
 Announcement of the new title of the Alabama Power company's parent frankly suggests that in the matter of taxes it was felt best to convert the company into one incorporated under the laws of one of the American states. so that Maine was selected.
 According to the plans. the entire liabilities of the Canadian company will be 1iquidated except for the issuance to the old company of a few shares of the new company's stock.
 The new company will issue 100000 shares of preferred stock and 50O,0O0 shares of common stock, both classes of DClIS WlthOut DdT NdIuS. Tue preferred stock pays dividends at the rate of $7 per year. The new com pany is to issue to the Canadian inter- ests 14,375 shares of the preferred stock and 340,000 shares of tn ecom- mon stock. In addition the Southeast ern Light and Power company of Maine is to assume all the obligations and lia- biliues of the Canadian company as of October 1, 1924, and will exonerate and complete the obligations of the old concern entirely. The new company will also pay in cash an amount equiv alent to dividends accrued on the pre- ferred stock of the old company from July to October l, 1924.
 The offer is conditional upon the &C., ceptance by the Canadian owners of the $47, 100000 Alabama Power and other assets of the company, of com mon and preferred stock of the Maine company, which is to be exchanged share for share when it comes to pre- fcrred stock and two for one when the common stock is exchanged.
 1t is believed that the arrangement will be approved by the owners of the Canadian company.

"kURDESTAN EMIR"
WILL BE DEPORTED
Labor Department Rules That
Throne Claimant Must Leave
United States.

Prince of Kurdestan, ruler of a
principality, alleged pants presser, book
agent and confidence man. Whatever
he is. the Department of Labor cares
not, for yesterday Robe Carl White,
Assistant Secretary of Labor, ruled
that Seid Zerdecheno, who graced the
District Jail for three weeks, must
make a hurried departure from the
United States via the deportation
route. Zerdecheno, who posed here as
the Emir Of Kurdestan, and declared
he was the ruler of that principality in
Asia Minor and the owner of thousands
of camels, must go the way of Emma
Goldman and others. He will be sent
ing wing he claims Kurdestan is
ruled.
Reviewing the Zerdecheno case,
which has now been before the depart
ment for two months, Mr.. White
yesterday declared the State Depart
ment had informed him there was no
such government as that of Kurdestan.
and that therefore Zerdecheno's claims
to be the ruler of the state were
erroneous. The prince is somewhere in
the eastern United States, and will
appear soon before the immigration
authorities at Ellis Island for deporta-
ton, the same port where on July 9
he landed brusquely from a steamer,
waving his passports in the faces of
immigration authorities and claiming
diplomatic immunity. Examiners for
the Labor Department couldn't find any
evidence that he was entitled to
diplomatic immunity, and, as he was
not in possession of an unexpired immi-
grafton visa at the time of his arrest,
ordered his deportation.

Park Citizens Association was held
last night in the Takoma Public
Library with Walter Trey presiding
and Chester c. Waters as secretary.
j. J.. Donkers, chairman of the Ia
koma Park Maryland committee on
National Defense day, outlined the
plans of his committee in co-opera-
tion with the citizens committee of
Silver Spring. and announced that it
is the intention of the promoters that
the communities disregard State and
county boundary lines and enroll
with their neighborS where it is most
natural and convenient. The resi-
dents of Takoma Park, D. c., were
requested to enroll and march with
those on the Maryland side Septem-

have been established at the corner
of Laurel and Carroll avenues, and
about o'clock.

ASK DISPLAY OF FLAG
NATIONAL DEFENSE DAY

Members of the Piney Branch CIti-
zens' Association and others in the
territory covered by that body Will
have suggested to them that they
display United States flags on Ma
tional Defense Test day, according
to a motion approved by the asso-
citation, meeting in the HamIine Nj.
+. Church, Fourteenth and Emerson
streets, last night. The association
heartily indorsed the. principle of
National Defense Test day.
Prior to the meeting the associa-
ton had issued mimeograph copy
which was sent to the members OF
the association, telling of the i'm
portance of the defense day to all
those who believe in perpetuatlng
The ideals of America and prevent
ing the general loss which is the
usual aftermath of war.
Plans for a membership drive to
be started in the near future were
discussed at th> meeting. Pleasure
was expressed at the changing of all
so-called A" and "B' areas in the
section to "A restricted" and "B re-
stricted,' respectively. The latter
zoning regulation prevents the erec-
tion of business houses within the
areas thus designated. Reports on
work of the executive committee
through the Summer constituted the
remainder of the business trans
acted.
