will connect HOulka sometime
next year. The plan is a good one
if the money can be arranged for at
the right time. No doubt but many

the line would subscribe to this
service, and possibly be cheaper
later on than standard oil. The

Colon, May 1.-The city of Colon. hall of which was destroyed by fire yester. day, presented scene of desolation to. day. According to police records, 10 per. sons, two of whom were Panama police. men, perished, and many ere injured The loss Is still estimated at S2,OO0,OOO
 Countless persons are homeless, wan. dering about streets. Business is almost at standstill although merchants are trying to resume. Bread lines have been established and homeless women and children are being care for as far as possible. A huge tent city has bean erected under auspices of American mill. tary authorities.
 Gen. Clarence R. Edward, military com. mander of the canal zone has ordered two more companies of infantry on patrol duty to prevent footing, and a trainload of supplies. Because the largest im- porters of foodstuffs were located in the burned area. there is a perceptible short age of supplies. which, however, are be- ing augmented from the canal commis- sariat department. which has established temporary stores In the burned district.
 canal commissary located near the burned district, containing a stock val ued at $1,000000. was saved from destruc- ton, with which 1t was threatened by fiy- ing sparks.

SUFFRAG|STS SPEAK
 AT FIVE MEETINGS
ssWomen's Day" Observed Ladies Given Respectful
 Hearing

For the first time in the history of the equal suffrage movement in Birmingham leading suffragists presented the cause of equal suffrage last night on the street corners of the city. Not only were the several speakers accorded a respectful hearing, but at times were generously applauded. The occasion was the ob- servation of ''Woman's Day" the first of May having been designated by the National Equal Suffrage association as a day set apart for a general celebration throughout the entire United States.
 There were five speakings, four down. town and one at Capitol park. Mrs H. H Shell, president of the local association; Mrs. Oscar R. Hundley and Mrs Angus Taylor were the principal speakers. Others to address the crowds were Arlie Barber, Judge O. R. Hundley, H. H. Shell and Ben Gross.
 Shortly after o'clock five automobiles decorated in suffrage colors drove up to the prominent corners of the city, and no trouble was experienced in securing an audience for the speakers One of the male members made a few preliminary remarks and then introduced the principal speaker, who In a dignified but convincing manner presented the cause of wom- ans suffrage to the assembled crowds
 As was stated the ladies were given a most respectful hearing and not one incl dent occurred to disturb the harmony of the speakings. At the conclusion of the downtown meetings all the speakers went to Capitol park where before the largest audience of the evening the argu- ments of the suffragists were again pre- sented.
 The observation of "Woman's Day. was carefully planned and successfully car ried out, and it is the opinion of those fin charge that the feminist movement in Birmingham received an impetus last night that will be lasting in it's effects, and 1t Is probable that other street meet 1ngs in the interest of equal suffrage will be had in the near future.
