Mobile To Cooperate
 For TideWdter Canal

A united effort on the part of Birming- ham and Mobile will be secured in the matter of providing 8 navigable water way to the gulf connecting the mineral district of Alabama with tidewater. Such intention was divulged by President Rich ard w. Massey of the Chamber of Com merce. who returned yesterday from the Mardi Gras at Mobile.
 While in the Gulf City President Massey made a frank statement before the Com mercial club there. setting forth the mu- tual benefits to be derived by both cities from the naturalization of the canal project. He explained how Mobile might become one of the greatest coal and iron exporting cities in the United States, and further showed how the natural resources of the Birmingham district might be de- veloped by means of water rates to be secured if the canal were ever built.
 President Massey also made use of the opportunity to cast oil on the troubled waters caused by the omission of the name of Mobile from the map prepared

ONE-F0URTH OF
 BIC FUND RAISED

|. Nearly one-fourth of the 10000 fund for the Associated Charities has just about been raised by the consolidated commit tees who were appointed last week to iR- augurate a campaign of the business sec ton for the amount which is considered as absolutely necessary to carry on the work of the organization. The amount subscribed as shown last night was s2406.
 This amount has been raised by a wig orous effort made by the different mem- bers of the committee who spend several hours each day soliciting the subscrip- tions. By means of the subscription blank the committeeman have avoided unnecessary or too frequent solicitation, and the campaign has been an entirely pleasant one. The work will be continued until the full $10,Ooo fund is secured. The result so far has been very gratifying, especially since the public has shown itself conversant and in sympathy with the work which the Associated Charities has been doing in Birmingham.

HOADLEY- GREENFIELD PARTY IN SPECT PROPERTIES IN VICIN- ITY OF THE CAPITAL CITY AND OF TUSCALOOSA

@ For the purpose of inspecting properties near Tuscaloosa and of attending a ban quet in Montgomery, Cecil A. Grenfell and J. H. Hoadley with their party of visitors left yesterday morning on their fourth days of inspection in the mineral district. ...a.. s. ,s5s...-
 The visitors, who are here looking over the Southern Iron and Steel and Alabama Consolidated Coal company affairs, left on their private car yesterday morning for Tuscaloosa. They inspected prop critics near that city during the day, leaving in the afternoon for Montgomery, where last night they were entertained.
 The business men of Montgomery ten dered the visitors a banquet at the Ex- change hotel, which was attended by representative business men of the Capi- tai City.
 Optimistic speeches were made by all of those called upon and a general fine time was enjoyed.
 The visit of the New York, Canadian and English capitalists here has caused great deal of speculation. although no announcement has been made as to the exact reason for the trip In industrial circles it is anticipated that some i'm portant result will come from the visit here.
 The visitors will return to Birmingham today and spend tomorrow quietly in this city.

by the Birmingham Chamber of Com merce. He explained away the error tc the satisfaction of the Mobile organiza- ton when he assured them the whole affair was purely unintentional and acci- dental.
 A delegation representing the Commer- cial club of Mobile will be sent here to confer with the local organization at 8 special meeting to be called for March r. The feature of the meeting will be the consideration of the canal project, and will seek to establish a spirit of cooper ation between the two cities. It is thought that the united effort of both cities will probably be effective in seeur- ing an appropriation from Congress for the purpose of building the navigable water course even as far as Valley creek and for deepening the channel at Mobile In view of the probability of an extr4 session of Congress the two organizations wish to make as timely an effort as pos sible to secure the bill for the appropria- ton.

SEARCH FOR
 SOCIETY WOMAN

New York, March 3.-For an hour early today the police force of New York secured the center of the city for Mrs. Hamilton Fish Benjamin, prominent society woman, the wife of a wealthy Wall street broker and niece of Robert Bacon, the American ambassador to France.
 It was just o'clock when MT. Ben jamin. in fur coat and silk hat, rush ed breathlessly into the Sixty seventh street police station, a few blocks from his Lexington avenue home, and pant ed eXcitedlv that his wife was missing and he feared foul play. Ills excite ment made his first statements almost incoherent but the police finally ex- tracted from him the information that Mrs Benjamin early in the evening had gone unaccompanied to the Metro politan opera house, where MT. Ben- jamin is a box holder. He had expect cd her long before midnight and when 12 o'clock came and she had not re- turned home he became alarmed. A tel ophone message to the garage showed that the car which had awaited his wife at the opera house was still out. Her delayed return was unprecedented, MT. Benjamin declared, and something serious must have happened.
 Do you want to send out general alarm?" asked the sergeant
 "Yes. by all means," urged MT. Ben jamin. We must get all the police after this al once.'
 His description of his wife was as Follows:
 Twenty years old; fair com plexion 160 pounds, feet inches; green eyes"
 Green eyes?" asked the sergeaht; "are you sure?'
 "Yes, green eyes, I am sure. Hurry, please" replied the broker.
 While MT. Benjamin was pacing the station house floor, awaiting the re- suit of the police alarm, a servant from his home burst into the room. Mrs. Benjamin is al home" she ex claimed.
 The broker bolted out of the door without waiting for particulars and the police search was called off as hastily as it had begun. It developed later that Mrs. Benjamin had merely stopped few moments with friends on her way home
