An investigation Is being made today
by Fire Marshall Nicholson, Of the fire

the Bureau Of Plant Industry OF tho
Department Of Agriculture. at 1sss-eo
AS yet the marshal has reached no
conclusion as to the origin OF the blaze
Spontaneous combustion In cotton
samples gathered from all over the
world. and crossed electric wires, have
been advanced as possible causes. The
marshal went carefully over tn eburn-
ed buildings today. but discovered
nothing that wuold offer reasonable
conclusion rs to the origin OF the blaze.

Sullivan had Just entered building

Weber and Fields Bring With Them to Atlanta
DAZZLING BEW OF GIRL s

Weber & Fields bring down to Dixie
an aggregation of chorus beauties who
may becomingly wear that often desc
Grated title, Broadway chorus" A
dazzling array of feminine beauty in
wonderful costumes forms the strong
est attraction of the show, unless this
honor belongs to Bessie Clayton, whose
exquisite dancing was a feature of the
evening. The only criticism of Miss
Clayton's performance is it's brevity.
The famous dancer appeared only once,
and for a short time, though the audi
ence tried hard with vigorous applause
to prolong her act to the limit. Few
dancers of Bessie Clayton's ability are
on the stage today, and her marvellous
toe dancing is wonderful to see.
The beautiful scenic effects and the
lovely girls in bewidering numbers
and wearing fresh and beautiful cos
tunes give Atlanta a treat, in that
style of show, such as only Anna Held
and her company has eclipsed They
dance and sing well, too, and are most
satisfactory in all particulars.
AS for Weber and Fields, suffice to
say they present the same line of work
and in the same style as they did when
they won their fame as tip-top come
dams They were received with flat
tering appreciation by the audience last
night, and, although they are on the
stage quite a while. they never seemed
to have given enough to their admir-
ers.
