Fire at

The Phoenix lodging house at
Tonopah was the scene of exciting
events recently when a roomer threw
a lighted match into a pan of gaso-
line and started a fire which for a
time threatened to wipe out the en-
tire group of houses adjoining the
frame structure, which burned like
finder. The building was owned by
F. Spaulding. There were several
very narrow escapes from deaths, as
many of the roomers were asleep
when the fire started.

Dr. c. Everett Conant Talks About the Inporta,
 of the Spanish Language to Commercial
By DOLLY DALRYMpLE

TT HOSE who have taken advantage oi 1 the Spanish-American courses pro-
 vided by the Chamber of Com merce in cooperation with the summer training school through the Carnegie l peace endowment. have not only hat unusual opportunities offered them, but a genuine pleasure afforded in meeting pr. c. Everett Conant, who has had charge of the ella sses.
 Dr. Conant has occupied the chair of modern languages at the University of Chattanooga for the past seven years, and he has also taught in the University of Chicago and occupied the chair of com parative philology in the University of Indiana.
 lie is gentleman of rare culture, broad education. and flowing personality
 Dr. Conant belongs to the famous Con- ant family of which Roger Conant was conspicuous member and who with Roger Villains. founded the Cape Cod Colony, their divergent ways resulting from difference in their opinions re- garding witchcraft and other supersti- tons relative to the times in which they lived
 Recently there has been a reunion of the Conant family in Salem. Mass, mem- bers of the family from all over the world assembling there, among others MT. Charles A. Conant. retired banker and financial adviser to the United States gov ernment in several currency reforms, and who died a short time ago in Havana, just after attending the reunion of the Conant family
 MT. Charles A. Conant, like Dr. Everett Conant, spent much of his time in the Philippines having been appointed by Secretary Root in 1901 as special commis- sioner to investigate coinage and banking conditions for the war department, his report in favor of a gold exchange stand ard being adopted in principle in the Philippine coinage act.
 Dr. Everett Conant comes from one of the most distinguished and well known families in the country and he says of himself that he wrote to his relatives at the recent reunion (which he was unable to attend) and by way of adding bit of history to the family records, told them that while he was born within 100 miles of the Atlantic ocean, he never saw 1t until he had crossed the Pacific three times, and then viewed it for the first time from the European side.
 pr. Conant Is the only American scholar who is a member of the Academy of Mad agascar. an honor which is envied by many American men of letters
 Dr, Conant. besides being educa tor of note, is a writer of prominence, his articles on the Spanish language attracting world wide comment, many of them being translated into Japanese and other tongues. Among other dis tinguishing features of his literary ca- reer is the fact that he has compiled the Ave Maria in S5 different Phil ippino tongues a hundred being mum bered among those that are spoken on the islands.
 pr. Conant has impressed his large

classes here, which number over 125. with his thoroughness and ability and his splendid command of English as well Spanish. has enabled him to give his pupils the most excellent op- portunities for learning the same.
 My work in Birmingham has been most satisfactory said pr. Conant when I was speaking with him. T came here at the suggestion of MT L. S.. Chandler, who has the South American agency in Chattanooga with the South ern railway. MT. Cha has former
 ly been in the consular service in South America and is there now, and when pr. Phillips, who is chairman of the educational committee of the Chamber of Commerce, asked him to recommend some one, he suggested my name. Bir- mingham, you understand, Is the only southern city through which the Car negie peace endowment has extended its activities to to the business people. This was accomplished through Dr.
