NO ACTION TAKEN
REGARDING RECIPROCITY
Democratic Senators Discuss
But Don't Decide

Washington, D. c., February 10-At
the conference of Democratic senators
held here this morning, no action was
taken regarding the Canadian recipro-
city agreement.
After a lengthy discussion which
failed to develop the sentiment of the
minority with regard to the pending
measure it was decided to postpone ac-
ton until after the bill is disposed Of
in the house.
Democratic senator's, it is said be-
lieved it best to wait until they know
the exact form in which the agree
ment is to be presented to the senate,
before binding themselves to any def
mite policy.

Factory In Close Proximity.

Savannah, Ga, February 10.-Fire
which broke out in the Savannah Can
dy Co. S plant at Liberty and East
Broad streets last night and spread
to several buildings of the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company, in
Guiding the building in which the old
records of the company are kept and
the city delivery warehouse, caused
an estimated loss of between $4,000
and $4,000.
The greater part of the candy fac
tory, the old Plant System depot, new
grain warehouse, record vaults and
approximately two-fifths of the city
delivery warehouse of the railroad
were destroyed, leaving but a mass OF
smouldering ruins.
The estimated loss to the candy plant
as given out by Jacob S, Collins presi-
dent of the company, will be $4,000,
the insurance on which amounts %
but $4,000
1t is practically impossible to deter
mine except approximately, what the
loss to the railroad building will be,
because of the quantity Of freight
which is coming and going all the
time. 1t is thought, however, that the
loss here will be between $4,000 and
$50, 900, covered by insurance,
While part of the freight was goc-
ten out by negroes employed by the
railroad before the flames reached the
warehouse, the greater part of the
freight stored in the burned section
was destroyed.

Interim Brick Wall When Discover
Gd-..NDRG Of the Birds Flew Away.

Americas neighbor, Preston, came
in three brick of having a wholesale
Jail delivery night or two ago,
when three desperate prisoners con-
fined in the bastile there cut the steel
bars of their cage and were out IN
the main corridor of the Jail when dis
covered.
Sheriff Montgomery came over TO
Americus yesterday and told the story
of the near-delivery.
The three prisoners are all held
under felony charges-one for car
robbery, another for assault to mur-
der and the third for criminal assault
All of them are negroes.
With a hacksaw-provided them by
friends on the outside in some manner
unknown, the prisoners, by working At
night, had succeeded in cutting two
or three bars to their steel cage, and
through the hole thus made the trio
of blickbirds flew into he corridor
to near freedom.
Only the brick walls Of the Jail
held them, and they were pecking
away vigorously upon the mortar hold
ing the bricks when daylight revealed
the situation. They were put in another
cell and the attempted escape averted,
greatly to the satisfaction of Sheriff
Montgomery and citizens generally.
Sheriff Montgomery is one of the
best and most capable officials in the
state, and never has he lost a pris-
oner in his keeping. He is investigat-
ing the matter as to how this trio got
possession of the saws.

By vote of So to A the house of

to be Overwhelmingly in favor of To-
cal option it is believed that the

IN the gallery were the wife and

interested in the measure which rep
