from its crater may be the only visible sign
of life in the sleeping volcano, but within
is raging sea of fire, molten rock and sui
phurous gases. Those who make their

the danger and, though frequently warned

BATTLE HALF WON
BY ~ p. AS IN THEIR FIGHT FOR
INTERCHANGEABLE MILEAGE.
SOUTHERN COMEDIES POINT.
To GRANT INTERCHANGEABLE
MILEAGE ON SEVERAL ROADS.

Such Lines are the southern, the
Central of Georgia, the &. $. q II.
and Roads With Which There Is
Close Traffic ConnectiOn-Ques-
ton of Accepting This Compro-
mise to he Submitted to Posts of
the State-Tight Has Been WHEed
Fly Chairman Max Krauss of Rail-
road Committee of Georgia md
Members Of the National Board
Matter VIII Come Before Post A,
savannah, At IL Meeting Saturday.
The fight that has been waged
against certain railroads for the past
eighteen months by the Travellers Pro
tective Association to get them to
adopt interchangeable mileage with
the other roads of the. Southeastern.
territory is likely to be partly won
soon.
The matter is at least coming to
head and it is limited that the South
ern against which the initiative. in
the contest was taken. will agree to
issue mileage that will be interchange
able OH its own line, the Central OF
Georgia, and the Georgia Southern and
Florida, and such other roads as it
has a close traffic agreement with.
The fight for interchangeable mile
age, which is one that is of direct
benefit to the business interests gen
orally, has been waged without inter-
mission for the last eighteen months
by Mr.. Max Krauss, chairman of the
Railroad Committee of the Travellers
Protective Association, Georgia Di-
vision and a member of the Railroad
Committee of the National Board.
Mr. Krauss is not exactly salts
fled with this arrangement, as he
has been contending for mileage that
would be interchangeable among all
the chief roads. He says, however,
that it is never his desire to antago-
nze where 1t is possible to use other
methods. He will accept the offer that
it is stated the Southern will make,
provided, of course, that such an ac-
ceptance meets with the approval of
the posts of the state to whom, it Is
understood, the matter has been sub
mitted.
It is more than probable that the
proposition will be accepted, for it is
a decided concession from the stand
originally taken by the Southern, and
means the saving to the business men
employing travellers of the money that
would be tied up in two additional
books of mileage. This is no small
consideration where the number of
travelling men employed by a house is
large. 1t is believed that a discussion
of these matters will come before Post
A at a meeting that will be held here
Saturday afternoon. ~
Mr.. Krauss, because of his official
position, has the right to accept or
reject this proposition of his own ac-
cord, but he believes it best to con-
slider the wishes of the posts in the
matter. He has also under considera-
ton a number of other matters tend
ing to the welfare and comfort of the
travelling man, while on the road, but
these he is not prepared to discuss
until there Is some tangible result to-
show for his work There is little
doubt that they will be brought to
successful issue, however, for Mr..
Krauss is an indefatigible worker and
success usually attends the projects in
which he interests himself.

Unique Experience, of Str. Berkshire

unique Experience of Str. berkshire

The steamship Berkshire of the Mer-

had an unusual experience on her last
trip from Savannah. Capt. Hudgins
on his arrival in Philadelphia report
ed that the steamer had struck hot
water off Frying Pan Shoals. The
lead was cast in twenty fathoms and
ii came UP unbearably hot.
1t was in latitude 34.7 north and
longitude 7644 west, sixty-three miles
northeast half east of Frying Pan light
ship, that Second officer C. O. Brooks
dropped the lead. When he pulled it
to the surface he dropped It.

Twice the experiment was made, and
each time the lead came up so hot
that it could not be held in the bare
hand.
Capt. Hudgins reported the occur
renee to the Maritime Exchange in
Philadelphia as soon as he arrived in
port. .- sb ttt
AS the steamer went north the heat
became, less, the area of the heated
part being but a. few miles. i. Capt.
Hudgins had no theory to advance con-
corning the unusual happening, but
thinks there may be a chain of deep
sea volcanoes that are awaiting a fav-
orable opportunity to get busy.
Some scientists believe that the Gulf
stream has had it's course DETECTED
to the westward, bringing it nearer
to the coast. but mariners declare the
stream would have TO be. hotter than

the Berkshire animated that the lead
was. inadvertently dropped through a
portfolio into the furnace room, but
the sailors scorned the idea that such
a mistake could have been made.

OGLETHORPE MONUMENT
FUND NOW S3,235.
Net Proceeds of the OgIethOrpe Ban

Net Proceeds of the OgIethOrpe Bah
Were $50.
The Oglethorpe Monument Associa-

Oglethorpe ball. Mrs. W. w. Gordon,
chairman of the Ball Committee, will
turn over to-day to the treasurer of
the Monument Association, the net
proceeds, amounting approximately to
$3.50.
. The gross proceeds were 1882. The
expenses of the ball were very much
reduced by the contributions of those
interested in the association. 1t would
not otherwise have been possible to
have attained the results that were
accomplished by the Ball Committee.
AS it was, it's success was almost who'll
ly due to the patriotism of Savannah
people. But one ticket was sold out
side of Savannah, and but three con-
tributions were received, except from
Savannah people.
The amount cleared by the Ball Com
mittee was practically the same as es-
tinrated by Mrs. Gordon several days
after the ball was given, and as pub
lished in the Morning News. The prac-
teal result of the ball increases the
monument fund to 1926.
