GOOD ROADS DAY
 A B|G SUCCESS Tuscaloosa Citizens Spend Whole Day Improving
 Highways

Tuscaloosa, April l9.-(Special) )-Dua largely to the efforts of w. r. Eitts. president Tuscaloosa County Good Roads assoicatlonfi the second annual good roads day of Tuscaloosa county, held today was a huge success.
 Promptly at 6:3o o'clock this morning 90 automobiles left Tuscaloosa carrying to all parts of the county 300 we'll known Tus- caloosa citizens who, with the assistance of the farmers, spent the entire day in greatly improving the public highways. The workers were divided into squads under command of several good roads en- thusiasts, each squad being assigned roadway upon which to labor. Practically every mile of roadway in the county was worked during the day.
 Lunch and plenty of drinking water was carried in every car and the only recess taken by the workers was an hour for dinner.
 Work was not stopped until late in the evening and many of the cars bringing tired and hungry men back to the city did not reach Tuscaloosa until 9 and 10 o'clock tonight.
 w. F. Fftts, Judge w w Brandon Dr. Aston Fitts and several others who had charge of the work on the Huntsville road, continued the journey on to Bir- mingham, clad in their overalls Those returning to Tuscaloosa tonight state that great good was accomplished during the day and that many needed improvements were made They also spoke of the en- thusiasm of the farmers who turned out in large numbers and added much to the success of the day. According to reports the public roads of Tuscaloosa county are better now than ever before.

MANY HAVE NARROW ESCAPE FROM FIRE ON SECOND AVENUE
Explosion From Unknown Cause Blows Out Front of Building at 2304
 Second Avenue

Fire of unknown origin almost com pletely destroyed two-story brick building, 2304 and 23O6 Second avenue this morning at 1:S0 o'clock An ex- plosion which occurred in the front part of the building just before the fire broke out, blew the whole glass front out of the building. The building was occupied by negro barber shop and Doolroom on the ground floor Tie second story was divided off into rooms and a number of white people lived there. All had very narrow es- capes and barely got out in time so prevent being burned to death
 George Piker, who runs the Greek American grocery store nearby, was un- able to get out at the time the others did, and came very near perishing in the flames. As he staggered down the narrow corridor he was overcome with smoke and swooned just as he was about to reach the stairs. When it was found that he was missing the firemen came to his rescue. He is none the worse for his experience All the occupants of the rooming house lost their personal ef- fects. The damage was estimated at S2O00
 This is the second explosion which caused fire in the last week, the firemen are at loss to know what caused them

THIEVES MAKE RICH HAUL AT
 PIZITZ STORE; LOSS IS $3OOO

''rhe robbery was not discovered until Monday morning. When the young lady in charge of the hosiery department came down to work she started to look over the stock, and as she pulled box after box out of the shelves she noticed that they were all empty. The matter was reported to one of the heads of the de- partment and upon investigation we found that over 150 pairs of high grade silk hosiery had been stolen. The value of these hose was $1.50 per pair.
 When we discovered this I asked all the heads of the various departments to examine their stocks and see if they were short any goodss In a few moments the clerk in charge of the lingerie depart ment reported that over 100 pieces of the finest lingerie was missing. this item alone amounting to nearly $1000 Then we found numerous dresses missing from the suit department, and finally we discovered 15O pairs of the finest gloves in the house had also been stolen.
 "Nothing cheap was touched, and when the robbers took what goods they wanted they very carefully placed the empty boxes back in their original places. | have been over the store from top to bottom, and am satisfied that the store was not entered from the outside. In my estimation, 1t was an inside job, and was done by some persons who were familiar with all the departments
 In addition to Darnell and Daly of the merchant police, Chief Egan has detailed several of his men on the case

STEEL CORPORATION
 PASSES DIVIDEND
Action Taken in Face of Many Protests, Says
 Judge Gary

New York. April 1s.-Action of di. rectors of the United States Steel cor poration, it became known today, in voting at their January meeting Ia
 pass the quarterly dividend on tho common stock, was taken in the face cf opposition by many stockholders
 Vho thought the earnings should oo de- olared. even if the corporation had to
 reduce wages.
 Ebert II. Gary. chairman of the cor
 poration, divulged this situation at the annual stockholders meeting in Ho-
 boken today In formal statement
 he said:
 ''We were sorry to hear that so many
 stockholders insisted hat common
 stock dividends be paid even if we had
 to reduce wages to do it.
 'The management was sorry to be obliged to pass the dividend on the common stock. We had been hopirg g and had expected to continue payment of the dividend without interrunticn. out conditions were such that il WAS impossible. We were confronted with the choice of passing the dividend or reducing wages. In view of the pres ent high cost of living We believed that the men were entitled to the wages they were receiving, which we think are not too much" The announced plan of reducing the directorate from 24 to IS members was approved at the stockholders meet ing.
 Continuing his statement Judge Gary said:
 "I assure you the country will pros per. Our position among the nations of the world is taking the lead. Finance, industry and commerce are better today than ever before. 1 hope that the holders of our common stock, even while not getting dividends at present, will not despair and sell il for something that they like better. Replying later to a question by a stocl1holder, Judge Gary said: We are not yet satisfied but that we may have l to cut wages. but we hope we will not | be forced to-
 Judge Gary said that the corpora l tion's business for 1915 had been pet ter so far, than for 1914" The company,
 he asserted. was gaining ground by do- l ing very satisfactory business, but domestic conditions were not so gooi and prices had not been satisfactory "Therefore our profits are small, he | said T think earnings for the first l quarter of this year will be small Prospects for the second quarter seem | to be considerably better

At the Lyric

With one bright exception this weeks offering at the Lyric thea tre is, indeed, very dreary. Most of the five acts might pass muster as openers, but that is about as far as they go. Possibly the manage ment is responsible rather than the per formers themselves for it is the worst selected bill that has appeared on the stage of the popular playhouse
 The opening number Wilton Brothers and Durham horizontal bar performers is acceptable To remain seated during the second number is to sit and suffer Florence Lorraine and Edgar Dudley are the same clever people that made good in the opening week of the Lyric but the vehicle selected to display their talents ''rhe Way to a Mans Heart" suffers by comparison with the former offering. Miss Rosie Lloyd gets by fairly well, but does not begin to approach her talented sister in ability and evidently travels some what on her reputation.
 For the act of dainty little Miss Lucy Gillet too much cannot be said in praise She proved most pleasant surprise. When the curtain rises on her act 1t dis closes a beautiful delf room exquisite and dainty. In a few minutes she juggles everything in the room from the furniture to the ornaments. Her skill, strength and ability is indeed marvellous.

The store of Louis Pizitz, Second avenue and Nineteenth street. was burglarized sometime Saturday night or Sunday and goods to the value of about $3000 were stolen.

 When seen by a reporter, Mir. Pizitz said. Someone connected with the store undoubtedly are the thieves. 1 know that the store was not entered through any window. neither was there any signs of their breaking in.

time-even the populace-but ydu may have noticed that there has been no anti American outbreak on that account. Since the elimination of the capitulations this was the first situation in which the Turk ish people might express resentment in a drastic way, but our people realize that this traffic in favor of few manufac- turers is not the fault of those Ameri- cans living here, and, therefore our old good relations continue.
 We are not savages who hold the in- nocent responsible for something not their fault. There are still living in this city under the nominal protection of your em- bassy plenty of English and French. They have not been molested, despite the fact that our people have not been treated kindly in France and England.
 Young Turkey is ready to demonstrate no particular group holds monopoly on gentlemanliness and so We shall continue taking the best of care of everybody, no matter what the provocation.
 When the capitulations were abolished everybody thought that foreigners in Turkey were unsafe, but time has shown that foreigners were never safer. But the export of arms and ammunition from the United States to the entente powers can have but one result-useless killing. Turkey, like Germany and Austria-Hun- gary, Is determined to win this war, and there is every indication that we will
 Speaking of Turkey after the war. En- yer Pasha said:
 Turkey will emerge from this war truly united and stronger than ever. The war is popular with the people now because it has given the government an oppor- tunity to demonstrate that it takes an interest in the people and is for the peo- pie.
 Called Everybody
 I've called everybody able to serve to arms with the result that we got more than we needed. Many of the surplus men are now building roads. The war has brought to ground under superior class of officers two million men, and the schooling given them is bound to result in good. We are fostering the spirit here that one must work for others also and that the old era of devil take the hind- most is over.
 What l have said will possibly have no influence; that is the reason why so far I have refused to be interviewed.' ' The correspondent ventured the opinion that everything has some influence, re- plying to which Enver Pasha said: God grant it will. We Turks have long been denied fair hearing before the public. We are so used to islander that we are now willing to convince the world with arms that we are not the 1 ethnological carcass some claim"

Before the turn of the correspond l ent came, many others saw the minister l waiting for hours to see the young mar who guides the military, and to some extent the political, fortunes of Turkey
