CHURCH HEAD SLAIN.
Grand Iman of Algiers Murdered In Cold Blood. DAGGER OF YOUNG ARAB. (Received 11.30 a.m.) ■ ALGIERS, August 3. Advancing toward the Grand Iman, head of the Moslem Church, in Algiers, apparently to pay the customary tribute of a kiss on his forehead, a young Arab plunged a dagger into the Iman's heart. The murderer is believed to have been hired by a Moslem political sect. Four Arabs were arrested. It is feared disturbances in Algiers may follow.
