FLOODS STOP
 FRISCO TRAINS Kansas City-FlOrida Special Ordered Discontinued
 to Memphis

The most crushing effect that Birming- ham has yer received from the flood situation at Memphis and elsewhere came yesterday when 1t was announced by the Frisco line management that trains Nos. 105 and l06, the Kansas City Florida special would be discontinued, effective today The Frisco line will op- crate the special today. leaving at 1923 o'clock, which will be the last outgoing train. The last inbound train will be train No. 105. due here at 3;45 o'clock this afternoon from Memphis.
 The Frisco announced Sunday that tick cts would not be sold at the local of fees for points beyond Memphis. but it was not thought then that the floods would cause the temporary cancellation of the two best trains in the service.
 In making the announcement yesterday. Lawrence McLain of the passenger traf- fife department, said that. so far as known the trains would be resumed some time this week. He added. however, that ev- erything in that connection depended solely upon the weather condition at Memphis It is understood that the other trains operated by the Frisco line man. agement are being handled into Memphis at great disadvantage and heavy finan- cial loss.

FLORIDA STRONG
 FOR UNDERWOOD.
lVardaman Passes Through City and Rooms Under
 woods Candidacy

James K Vardaman, senator elect of Mississippi passed through Birming ham yesterday morning at o'clock. The only man In Birmingham who talked with him was Charles K. Hall, the well known member of the coun- Ky executive committee.
 Colonel Vardaman told Mir. Hall that he had just concluded a trip into Flor ida. q found there" said he, "a strong sentiment in favor of Oscar w. Un- derwood for the presidency. He will probably carry that state with com parative ease.
 IT, myself am heartily in favor of the nomination of MT. Underwood While he has views that do not CO., tncide with my own, I know that he is sincere in his views. He is a big honest man, and the greatest tariff authority in the United States. He Is the very embodiment of the tariff is- sue, on which he will be successful He should be the nominse of the party"
 Mir. Nardaman stated, according to MT. Hall, that while i've vote of Mis- eissippi was one expressed according to the ideas of each individual, and not as a result of tidal wave of en- thusiasm, he believed that Underwood would fare well when Mississippians vote.

TIRED PASSENGERS DESCRIBE
 NIGHT ON BURNING SHIP

of the steamer Ontario of the Merchants and Miners Transportation company, which was beached here on fire early this
 morning, still was in doubt tonight. With her passengers safely gotten off, the steamers crew stuck to the ship and at a late hour was fighting the flames. The fire. which had ragged all day, appeared,
 however, to be slowly getting the better of the men. From the shore tonight flames could be seen bursting occasion ly through the forward deck.
 Despite doubt as to eventual quell- ing of the flames no fear was left for the safety of the crew. The revenue cutters Acushnet and Mohawk and two wrecking tugs stood by to take the crew off if necessary. The cutters also were prepared to go alongside when the sea had sufficiently moderated and pour water on the blaze. There appeared to be no doubt that once the fire were con- trolled the vessel could easily be fioated. Much of the cargo, consisting mostly of cotton, has been jettisoned
 Captain Bond told a newspaper rep resentative who boarded the steamer that the fire broke out about 1:30 a. m. He added:
 Ut soon became evident to me that in order to save the ship and passen- gers I would have to beach her. but owing to the direction of the wind II was unable to take straight north- erIy course as the wind would have driven the flames aft. I consequently set a course northeasterly for Montauk Point, where 1 beached her shortly be- fore 3 o'clock. We did not awaken the passengers until more than half hour after the ship had struck. They ac- cepted the situation with surprising coolness and there was absolutely no panic"
 r,t,o ..o..onoo.e o,a 4bair 1,r1a1a were taken from the burning vessel to the tug boat Tasco in small boats. The sea was comparatively smooth and no trouble was experienced. In adjusting the brooches buoy apparatus. David Mill Ter, a life saver, was seriously hurt.
