SIMPLE RITES
 MARK PASSING
 OF DR. ULLMAN.
Jewish Leader Buried At Temple Emanu-El Gem
 etery Sunday

Simplicity marked the last rites for Samuel Ullman, held at II o'clock Sun day morning at Temple Emanu-El cemetery.
 Rabbi Morris W. Newfield of Tenn pie Emanu-El conducted the funeral services, which were held from Temple Emanu-El. The huge temple, which Dr. Ullman was instrumental in helping build, and to which he gave a great part of his life in service. was packed to it's fullest capacity with his friends, who came to pay their last tributes. The simple service, in keeping with his liberal Jewish faith, was in itself tribute. The quiet dignity made the ceremonies doubly impressive.
 Out of respect for his death, the Open Forum meeting at Temple Emanu-El was suspended Sunday. A procession of more than 100 auto mobiles followed the body to its last resting place in Temple Emanu-El cemetery.
 Was Confederate
 With his passing Birmingham and the state of Alabama lost one of her great est leaders, and hardest and most un- selfish workers. A brief summary lof his life is unparalleled for carrying out set aim to help humanity. He began his career by serving with distinction in the Confederate army. Following his discharge after receiving a serious wound while fighting in northern Vir- ginia he entered religious work, and was instrumental in causing many re- forms in the Orthordox Jewish church at Natchez, Miss.
 Moving to Birmingham later he con- tinued his work in the congregation here. He was instrumental in building Temple Emanu-El, served as the first president, and as tle fourth rabbi. Later he entered the educational field and won many honors and was still giving his best efforts at the time of his death.

2-YEAR-OLD SHAH
 TO ASSEND THRONE

LONDON, March 23.-The Persian parliament has abandoned the idea of a republic, but has deposed the shah and has decided to install his infant son on the throne, according to a Tehran dispatch to the Daily Mail.
 The correspondent says that sit ting of the national assembly to decide on the future form of government, was held Saturday when, owing to the op- position of the clergy and the public, the agitation in favor of republic col lapsed.
 The new shah is 2 years old, and a regent will be appointed to act dur ing his minority.
 Sultan Ahmed NIirza, shah of Per sia, born in 1898, succeeded his father, who abdicated in 1909, under a regent. His coronation took place in 1914.
 The shah has been living in Paris, and much antagonism to him developed because of his long absence from his own country. Recently the crown prince left the palace for a residence outside Tehran, and the ceremonies conducted by the shah on the occasion of the Persian new year were omitted.
 The discussion over the question of the establishment of a republic caused serious dissensions and fighting has occurred between the anti-republican groups and pro-republicans.
