Annual Report Submitted to Con-

tions Along Seacoast. .

Washington, Jan. 20.-There were
1,476 disasters on the water OF the
United States during the last fiscal
year in which the life saving service
worked alone, according to its report
today to congress. The vessels in.
volved carried 1926 persons and the
property was valued at $~4,542,9S5. In

ut should be stated" says the re-
port, that if the present state ct af-
fairs is permitted much longer to go
unremedied it is bound seriously to
impair the usefulness Of the service,
if it does not actually bring it into
%disrepute.
"To put the establishment upon a
proper basis of efficiency it is obvious.
ly necessary to provide for the re-
tirement of the veterans still in the
service and for filling their places,
as well as the places now occupied
by substitutes, with the best type Of
waterman to be found on the coasts"
The report approves the bill pend
ing in congress to consolidate the
revenue cutter and life saving SER
vices into a coast guard.
1T is inconceivable," it says, "that
congress will allow the service to run
down and lose it's efficiency for want
of legislation that alone will rehabili-
tate and preserve it."
The General Summary.
In a general summary of its forty
three years of existence the service
is shown to- have figured in giving
assistance to ,28,121 vessels, valued
with their cargoes at $355,401 1884, Of
which property valued at $2SS, S71 ,237
was saved. On these vessels YER
17S,741 persons and only LABS lives
were lost, a less number, tits pointed
out, than persisted on the Titanic.

MOTOR BUS PROVES
Strong Competition
City of Seattle May Abandon Its
Municipal Ownership of
Street Railways.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 20.-ln two
propositions submitted to the city
council, abandonment Of projects for
municipal ownership Of street rail-
ways was foreshadowed because Of
motor bus competition. One, a reso'
luton introduced yesterday by the
leader of the municipal ownership
forces in the council, provides for
dropping all litigation seeking to &C.
quire an electric line to a suburban
town. The other, a message from
Mayor Hiram C. Gill, vetoed a bill
passed by the council to submit to
voters a plan to extend the present
municipal line three miles. The
mayors message said:
automobiles are about to super
sede car lines. Street railways in
all parts OF the country are expert
encing difficulty in raising money for
fear of motor bus competition. If the
city, in the face Of this fact, begins
to spend money on further extensions
we are fools rushing in where angels
fear to tread"
Five hundred motor bus drivers, at
a meeting last night, decided to form
a corporation to be known as the
Seattle Auto Transit Association"
The business Of the organization will
be supervise schedules, assign routes,
protect members in litigation and pro-
mote the safety Of bus patrons.

PORTLAND TAKES ACTION.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 20.-On the
ground that the operation of motor
buses in. Portland had not been estab-
lished on a permanent base, the city
commission declined yesterday to Ii
cense or regulate their business.
A hearing had been called at the
request of the president of the Port
land Railway, Light & Power Com
pany, which operates the trolley cars
of Portland. He represented that the
buses by handling short haul traffic
exclusively and paying nothing for
the privilege. were a menace to the
prosperity of the street a company
which was obliged to carry people to
the outlying districts for a five.cent
fare and to pay heavily in licenses and
other dues.

MADOLE { BOERNER SALE

The Madole & Boerner dissolu-

rection of H. l.. Bruce, which
commenced last Saturday, is a
notable success in every respect.
Their attractive offerings at the
real bargain prices, recently pub

caused great crowds of eager
buyers to flock to their mercan-
tile establishment west of the

day the crush was so great that

MOST WONDERFUL ERA
Of PROSPERITY NEAR

A greater era of prosperity is
in view for the United States,
Secretary of Commerce Redfield
said in addressing the fourth an
nual dinner of the Queensborough
Chamber of Commerce.
Secretary Redfield discussed
American trade relations and in
dustrial conditions, resulting from
the war in Europe and cited the
advance in freight rates granted
to the railroads and the opening
of the Panama canal as factors
leading toward an improved bus
mess status. Discussing foreign
commerce, he said:
Our floating debt to Europe
which it once was felt might
have to be paid fully il gold, has
instead been paid in goods and
more than protected so there
seems to have begun an inward
flow of gold responding to the
reduction in the price of eX-
change.
w. Morgan Shuster said that
in furnishing supplies to the ma
tons at war the United States
was Handicapped by an inadequate
merchant marine.
ANY other nation" he said,
that possessed our wealth and
opportunities given che present
conditions in world politics would
long ago have obtained full con-
troll of the worlds trade. f"

LEES Anniversary IS
F|TT|NGLY CELEBRATED

Exercises commemorative OF
the birth of Robert E. Lee were
held Tuesday afternoon by the
Fifth Tennessee Regiment Chap
ter U. D. c., in the courthouse.
An appropriate musical program
was given, followed by an inter-
esting address by Louis Spencer
Daniel.
The life of Lee by anecdote
and story was reviewed by the
chapter, each member contribut-
ing some bit of history, which
gave an insight into character
istics that are wholly unknown
to those who have thought of
Gen Lee only as a military
leader. Everyone called upon
readily responded When the
set program was finished the
Veterans and Daughters spent a
pleasant social hour. Coffee.
cakes and oranges were served.
Real oranges in abundance were
provided. Each Veteran was also
gived Mandarin oranges wrap
ped in crepe paper, which upon
being peeled" were found to
contain dainty remembrances to
the Veterans from the Daugh-
tiers.
A Lee quiz, composed of ques-
tions relative tc the military ca
reer of Lee, was written by
members of this Chapter for the
use of Grove, Paris graded and

A METEOR|C VISITATION
STARTLES MANY PEOPLE

The Laud&dale County Enter
prise, of Ripley has the following
account of the meteor which fell
recently near Unionville:
Citizens of Ripley and through
out this section experienced a
queer sensation last Sunday
night about $50 O'Clock, when
some violent phenomenon occur
red. 1t came as a heavy earth
quake shock, accompanied by a
loud report, and caused much
alarm. Some people who were
out of their houses at the time
claim that they saw a fiery ball
Illuminating the heavens and
bearing the appearance of a me-
teor just prior to the loud report.
The shock was so acute and the
report so distinct that some
thought perhaps bank robbery
and safe explosion was being
pulled off in our town. 1t has
since been reported that the me-
teor fell to the earth near the
line between Dyer and Lauder
dale counties, and with such
force as to make a deep hole in
the ground.
This same meteor was seen at
Hayti, Mo. The Hayti Critic
says:
Sunday night, about $3.50, one
of the most violent explosions
ever heard was distinct in this
city. There was bright light,
followed by an explosion, the
like of which the people here
never heard, and the earth shook
in commissions for about thirty
seconds. The light lasted only
five seconds, but was so bright
that a pin could have been seen
ten feet distant. 1t seemed to
have been an explosion a little
north of east, and then a roaring
noise like a hurricane, followed
by earth trembling.
