Matter of Consolidating Towns Is StnI
Pending.

Phenix City. May 5.--(SpeclaL)---
When the. ordinance calling for an
election upon the question OF consolid-
atirg the cities of Phenix City and
Girard came up for final passage in
the meeting of the city council of
Phenix City it went over to the next
meeting.
1t is not known just whys this step
was taken, but probably because of
the fact that at the last meeting OF
the Girard City Council, that body de-
feated an ordinance calling for an
election upon this question. 1t Is be-
lIeved. however. that the next meet
ing of the Girard council will take
the matter up again. and that there
Is a possibility of its passing.
1t may be that the Phenix City
council is waiting to see what the
Girard council will do in the matter.
II the Girard council passes the ordi-
nance PheniX City will do likewise, hut
IL 1t fails to pass 1t 1t would do no

The greatest loss of life was occa-
stoned, according to survivors, by the
fall of the roof which crashed down on
the entrapped people in what seemed
& short time after the blaze was dis
covered. Previous to this the men in
the pit had fought like demons, strik-
Ing down women ard children in their
nqffOrtS to escape. The fall of the roof,
however, stilled the screams and
groanr of the fighting, panicstricker'
audience. The firemen and the crowd
on the outside who had been attract
ed TO ,the scene could do nothing to
help the people in the burning building
and were compelled to stand helpless
and watch the theater with its human
contents burn. After the first five or
10 minutes there We're no cries heard
and there was no noise save that made
by the flames.
Latest reports indicate that no
Americans lost their lives, though
earlier dispatches said that several
We're killed. The American consul, Mr..
Morehead had been invited to the per-
Torrance, but pressing business made
it impossible for him to attend.
Many Of those who escaped We're in
jured in the panic or severely burned
and many Of the houses near the thea
ter were transformed into hospitals to
take care Of these people.
