Miss Georgia Munroe Takes
Tramp Through lsthmian Jun
giles, Wild Animals Haunts.
SURROUNDED BY TERR0RS
Granddaughter of Late Nathan
Munroe Makss Success in Pan
anna as Government Teacher.

Romantic adventures have befaI-
len former Atlanta girl, Miss Geor-
gia Thornton Munroe, on the 18TH
mus Of Panama. about which she has
written to friends in Atlanta
No fiction could be more tense and
thrilling than her story of trip she
made through a three mile jungle,
during which she forced her way on
hands and knees at times, amind dank
tropic growths that rustled about her
and her girl companion with every
suggestion of uncanny terrors. Bats
and owls fitted and squeaked about
them, and the dense foliage overhead
shut out all sunlight. And finally
they came to weird ruined monas-
terry, one Of the oldest structures on
the 1sthmus, and place with a trag-
ic history of bloodshed and pillage.
Take Long Tramps.
Miss Munroe also conceived the
plan of tramping throughout the Ca
nal Zone a trip that would combine
personal recreation, the opportunity
to study the flora and fauna of the
lsthmus of Panama, and the oppor-
tunity to visit at the same time the
historic spots that make the Isthmus
one of the most romantic places in
the world. And so she set out, &C
companied by Miss Carter, one of
the Government teachers In the Ca
nal Zone. Scoring the aid of the
Isthmian railway. scorining the prof
fered lifts" offered them by automo-
bilists and cart drivers, they walked
the distance from Colon to Panama
without mishap
But the trip was not made without
thrills however. Miss Munroe writes
luridly of the painful, crawling jour
ney through the thick, dark jungle
to a forsaken monastery, in twilight
darkness most of the time, and op-
pressed by fears of dangers of this
world and the next
Government Supervisor.
Miss Munroe went to Panama four
years ago as teaCner In the public
schools, and Immediately began to
rise through force of her energy and
initiative, and her work takes her
over the Isthmus every few days on
tour of inspection.
There are much worse things in
the world than work under the Unit
ed States Government in the Canal
Zone, according TO her letter. She
writes that the welfare of employees
there is considered, with residence,
lights. fuel, medical attention, the use
Of an excellent sanitarium and good
salaries, supplied.
Miss Munroe Is a member Of the
Lamar family of Georgia. and is the
granddaughter of the late Nathan
Munroe, for whom the first railroad
engine In Georgia was named; and a
granddaughter of the late Judge Hen
ry G. Lamar, of Macon. She will re-
turn to the States in the summer.
and will visit relatives in Georgia

BOND MARKET IRREGULAR.
New Haven Convertibies Weak, Selling
 Off Two Points.

New York, March 2.-The activities of the financial district were much curtailed today by the storm, which kept brokers from the exchange and customers from the commission houses. Delay in the mails and interruption of telegraph communication Of wire houses reduced outside business to minimum. The volume of trading was by far the smallest of the year. Dur ing the greater part of the session business was almost at q standsttl, falling to basis of about lO,0ou shares an hour. The market sagged. but the decline was due less to pres sure than to listlessness. London sent over a lower range of prices and then cabIed selling orders, disposing of about 15,000 shares. This was about the only positive influence on the home market and was mainly responsible for the days movement. The decline was of small proportions. only a handful of the standard shares falling point or more.
 Traders favored the short side, be- neving that tke technical position had been weakened by the driving in of the shorts last week. The unfavor able bank statement of Saturday ard additional railroad reports for Janu- ary, showing large decreases in earn ings. also affected the list adversely. New York Centrars January net fell off $3.654, 900. Reports of growing duIlness in the copper market found corroDoration, so far as concerns the foreign situation, ill the increase in supplies shown in the fortnightly Flu ropean statistics.
 United States Express was one of the few stocks to develop strength. It rose six points to II, compared with it's low price last week of 54. The rise was associated with an unofficial re- port that, on account of parcel post competition, the company would be liquidated, in which event, it was said, stockholders would receive an amount considerably in excess of the present market value of the stock.
 New Haven convertibles were weak. selling off two points.

FUNDS FOR OLYMPIC TEAM.
Letter Sent to Different Clubs for De- nations Towards Support of Ameri- san Athletes.

New York, March 2.-PIans for the collection of a large Amateur Athletic aniOn fund for the American Olympic team of 1916 were outlined here today at conference between President An drew J. Hill, IT, and Secretary James F. Sullivan of the union. It was decid- ed to pen the campaign for 1916 funds with circular letter to each club and allied organizations, requesting the as SeSSment Of a given sum on each and every member of such club. The letter WlIl be forwarded to the secretary of each club, with the request that each organization fix the sum which its members will be requested to pay to- ward the support of the athletes who will represent this nation at Berlin two years hence.
 It is the idea of the officials to leave the amount to the discretion of each club in order that the voluntary tax may be graded in accordance with the financial standing of the club and its members. Individual subsCrip- lOnS ranging from 10 cents to $5 will cover the probable range. although there is no minimum or maximum fix ed. Neither will these payments inter- fere with the funds subscribed from the Amateur Athletic uninn treasury or the clubs holding membership in the organization All these points are clearly explained in the letter which President Lil has already drafted and will forward to the five clubs and al lied bodies of the union within the next few days.
 The Amateur Athletic union officials hope to collect close to $100,0 from their own ranks during the next is months. The cooperation of other or ganizations such as the public school athletic leagues and recreation and playgrounds associations will be en- listed.

Chicago. March 2-Presldent Gilmore of the Federal league announced 10, night that "a Pittsburgh millionaire had decided to become packer of the club in his town. Stories that Henry C. Prick of Pittsburgh had seriously contemplated taking an active part Tn the national game have been current for some time and though Gilmore would not say that MT. Prick was the man, followers of the game here be- lieved he is.
 It leaked out this afternoon that Tom Seaton, the pitcher last year with Philadelphia, would join the Chicago F'ederals It was understood that the Brooklyn club will get Seaton, but the allotment on Saturday gave him to Tinker's club.
 Ground will be broken for the local Federal league plant Wednesday, President Weeghman said today. Mayor Harrison has agreed to turn the first spade of dirt if his health permits. The contractors who bid for the privi- lege of building the stand all agreed to have it finished by April Fl, by which time the Chicago club will have hnish- ed its opening series at Kansas City, Indianapolis and St. Louis and will be ready to play it's first home games.
 Much disappointment was shown by several managers when it was learned that Christy MathewsOn had signed contract with the Giants and had not waited for their offer of $65,000 fro three years, made today in 8 telegram by President Gilmore. Mathewson was wanted to manage and pitch on the Brooklyn team. but efforts will be made to get Sam Crawford for the job, while President Gilmore intimated Fielder Jones, former manager of the Chicago Americans, might be made an offer.
 The Kansas City team of the Feeder al league has virtually engaged Lev erenz of the St. Louis Americans, it was learned. LeveTenz is with the worlds tourists.
