RESCUERS STILL FIGHT
 IN SEARCH OF BODIES
(Continued from Page onep

hags were found in the building of the Atlantic and Pacific Tea company Chief Middleton called MT. KleybecN- CT, the manager of the store. and gave the articles to him. It was too much for him and he broke down and wept. k1eybecker had just seen his friend, J. H. Whitlock. brought out on a streteher dead. The dead man. who was the auditor for the tea company, still clutched his pencil. with which he lad been writing at the time of his death. It is the opinion of Dr. Whelan that the man was instantly killed. He is survived by a widow and several children, all of whom live in Atlanta. Chief Middleton of the fire depart ment made the following statement early this morning:
 q cannot imagine what caused
 the wall of the burned Steele Smith
 building to fall over unless it was
 struck by lightning or by
 whirlwind. Not a single beam of
 either the Ham Shoe company or Atlantic and Pacific building was
 left intact
 "l 0Ont knoW now many more

 we got on the scene as quickly
 we did all those imprisoned
 would have certainly perfshed by
 fire. I don't know what was the
 cause of the blaze. It seemed to
 spring from nowhere. Fortunate
 Iy, we were able to put it out
 before my great amount of fire
 damage was done.
 q must say that I have never
 seen my men work as hard before.
 It was not necessary to urge them
 on they simply went to 1t. We all
 realized the danger In the wall

 continued just the same. l am
 proud of the volunteers. They did
 valiant work and aided us mate
 rially. l intend to work right here
 until all the debris is moved away
 and I shall have all my available
 men on the job until late today.
 believe it will be near noon be-
 for our work will be done."
 Frank Gafford said: This morning a daybreak I will have all the city's teams here to haul away all this stuff. l vii also have about 40 convicts on hand tC help fin the work of rescue. All of my guards have been constantly at worl since this disaster occurred, and the, did not stop work until I made them gt home to their families at midnight A for me, I will be here until everything il cleared away"
 This morning at o'clock the firemel pulled down the remnant of wall whicl caused the disaster.
 George w. Darnell was thought to hav' been rescued in the early part of thu evening but later developments indicate that he is missing. It Is supposed tha he is trapped in the building. Up unti later hour this morning his wife haC not heard from him. Mrs. Darnell is il a dangerous condition, caused over he anxiety for her husband.
 Inquiries at the police headquarter are numerous. The parents of Miss Rutl Johnson, who worked in the shoe store had not heard from her up until a lat hour this morning. The mother of tn missing girl is prostrated over the re suit It is not probable that the fina toll of death from the disaster will b known until this afternoon.

SOLDIER IN LOVE
 WANTS DISCHARGE

From the New York World.
 Lafayette, La.-One year more to serve in the United States army and probably in the Philippines, Emile Martin, three years a soldier, is pleading to be released from further sevice in order that he may be near Miss Jeanne Olivier. formerly of this city.
 Four years ago Emile Martin tucked his diploma from the University of Paris into his pocket and came to America. He was of French arstocracy, and the bot tom of the family coffers had been scraped to provide Emile with an education.
 Emile joined the United States army when he failed to find work. From regi- ment to regiment he was shifted, until one day he found himself in Texas City, one of the thousands of soldiers drearily waiting for something to happen in Mex leo.
 In Texas City he met Miss Olivier. who is of an old Creole family of Louisiana. She and her family moved to Galveston, Tex. Now Emile learns he is to be sent to the Philippines.
 He has been granted leave of absence and is now in Lafayette, the birthplace of his bride. appealing to influential citizens in and about this city to sign his petition to Congressman Broussard who is asked to use his influence with the government in releasing him.

Cat Braved Lion in
 Search of Breakfast

From the New York Sun.
 The rashness of Teddy a plain gray cat, official rat catcher of the zoo, nearly cost Keeper George Sichert his life in the cage of an in- furiated lioness yesterday morning.
 Rats were scarce about the menag- erie yesterday, so when Teddy spied a piece of meat in the cage of Helen, an 11-year- r-old African lioness. he de- cided to brave the wrathf of his huge cousin. Cautiously Teddy made his ward the discarded remnant of HeIen's supper. Hardly had he touched 1t, however. when Helen awoke from a seeming doze and, with a sweep of her powerful paw. sent the cat flying across the cage.
 Keeper Sichert whose especial pet Teddy has been for the last six years, was cleaning a cage nearby. Calling several painters to his aid, SicherL en- deavored by reaching through the bars with his cleaning instrument to rescue the cat, while the painters with iron bars kept the snarling lion ess in a corner
 Failing in this Sichert entered an adjoining cage which connects with Helen's by a trap door Three times Sichert dived through the door to reach the cat, but each time the charge of the lioness drove him Lack. The fourth attempt was successful, elthough the trap door was slammed down just in time to save the keeper from the infuriated lioness' claws.

Run Over By a Hearse
the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 An automobile hearse containing a body last evening rushed past po- lieeman who had signaled the driver Co halt, and crashed into two women on Manhattan street. at Broadway. one of the women, Alice King, 4l, sustained concussion of the brain and severe las cerations. The other, Angella Morgan, poet and writer. suffered from lascera- tions and shock. Several women and children jumped aside just in time to avoid being hit.
 patrolman Gerrigan of the traffic squad hao signaled north and south traffic to halt. A score of persons immediately storted across Broadway.
 The hearse approached the crossing and headed for the pedestrians. Ger rigsn shouted to the driver to halt. Jam ming on the brakes, the chauffeur man aged to swerve slightly. but the women could not get out of his path. Miss King was picked up unconscious and rushed to the KnickerbocSer hospital. Miss Morgan was taken to her home In a taxicab.

Potatoes and Buttermilk
rom the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
 An Irlshwoman well expressed. the other day the value of the national diet of potatoes and buttermillx. When I was young she said. i've never heard of con- sumption. The people were content with potatoes and buttermilk. Now they must have meat and tea. They are healthy enough as children. but few grow up strong. They become eonsumptive as they grow. They cannot afford good meat, or enough of it. and they will not eat the potatoes and milk that would cost them little and keep them strong" Potatoes are more nourishing if boiled or baked fin their skins. The Irish know this; and, passing the open doors of cottages today one may still sometimes see the brown. smoking balls turned out of the big pot onto the clothless table, round which the family is sitting.

A hot box" is a sign that the safety first rule is not practlcSd by some car department men.
 There is no excuse for a "hot box after a car is sent out if the train Is carefully looked over at each terminal. Primarily, hot box is caused by roor waste and an insufficient "greas- ing" at the time it should have been done. and there is no excuse for one. X hot box is liable to cause a wreck. and a wreck on most railroads costs money, much more than the price of sufficient quantity of waste and oil anu grease to protect the journals of the car wheels.
 The farmer who buys a new buggy has pretty good idea of what "hot box" means. and the ways 10 prevent 1t. He sees to 1t that tho spindle Is we'll greased so 1t will not set hot lie watches 1t closely and does not take any chances on the wheels run- ming hot.

RESCUE GIRL BY
 CUTTING WALL

A girl whose name could not be learned last night was rescued early in the even- ing by the fire department squad cutting through the east wall of the old Steele Smith building into the Ham shoe store and drawing her out through the hole.
 When the rescuers had progressed with the removal of the debris so that they could get inside of the shoe store they were able to see back few yards along the wall of the shoe store, as the fan of the timbers had propped themselves angling against the wall. leaving a sort of pa assage way underneath. Some consid- erable distance back of this passage the rescuers saw the rorm of woman pinned against the wall.
 Estimating the distance she was back they went on the other side of the wall inside the Steele-Smith building and start ed to cut hole through the brick They had estimated the distance correctly and cut the wall right away from behind her.
 When the hose was big enough to pull her body through, however, 1t was found that her hair and clothing were fast.
