CANADIAN HOUSE OF
 PARLIAMENT BURNS
tContinued from Page one)

Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The place will be announced later"
 q was on my way from the cham Der to my room, which is near the library said Mayor Martin of Mon- treal in describing his experiences in the fire, when I heard an explosion. Instantly flames shot out from the reading room. My first thought was of the fire eXtinguisher, which was near by, but policemen were then endeav- oreing to press itn into service and turned, running into the chamber.
 "Deputy Speaker Rhodes was in the chair and everything there was tranquil until I dashed through the door and shouted Fire, and big one. I turned toward my room again but by that time the corridor was filled with smoke and flames were beginning to shoot toward the chamber.
 AID FROM MONTREAL
 'l reached the hotel about 9:15 o'clock and immediately put in an order for the Montreal fire brigade. l realized then that little of the building could be saved but feared that other fires would break out. I believe that all the members es- caped. Flames shot along the corridors at awful rate and it seemed just few seconds until the whole place was black with smoke. There was not much confusion on the floor of the house and to this many of the members probably owe their escape"
 ". R. Bradbury was standing in the main corridor of the House of Commons rear the postoffice when he heard a crash and rushing along the corridor to- ward the main entrance to the chamber.
 Tt appeared to break out in an in- stant,' he said. T was standing near the postoffice when l heard the crash. Then l turned and saw several of the policemen and messengers hurrying along toward the reading room. I went into room 16 where many of the conservative members were and shouted Fire
 SECOND EXPLOSION
 Before reaching that room there was another explosion of some kind which knocked me off my feet, The members soon came running out of room 16 and they also poured from the chamber. Within few minutes that section of the building near the reading room was a mass of flame, One of the messengers told me that all the members had es- caped from the chamber"
 Some of the most spectacular rescues were made in the southwest wing of the 1 building There were many employees in the restaurant at the time and the lower corridor was filled with smoke so quickly that they were unable to get down the stairs They were rescued by means of ladders
 General Sir Sam Hughes minister of militia, was in the crowd and helped in the rescue General Hughes ordered out the 77th Overseas regiment and the sol diers lined the grounds and controlled the crowds.
 A few minutes after the fire broke out 1 it was found that the press room was cut off. There were several correspond- ents there and they were conre'led to climb to safety down ladders which fire men raised to the windows.

"A DANGEROUS CITIZEN

Mr. Reed. I understood the senator would come back with his usual cour- tesy and repeat what he had already said; that has happened often in the chamber, and it has no more effect on me now than 1t has had in the past
 I pass from the fruitless topic to re- mark that much cheap politics are these days being played. Men who, if they were charged with the grave duties de- volving upon the head of this govern ment would observe a discreet silence are very voluble and highly critical These knights of forum and sanctum talk

GOVERNMENT BUILDING

The news that Secretary McAdOO was not to make the planned southern visit caused no small amount of speculation Since the proposed visit, ostensibly for the purpose of looking after some mat ters connected with the treasury depart
 ment in regard to constructing govern ment buildings, was reported to have a very important political aspect the can- cellation of the trip created unusual in- terest. It had been expected that while here, Secretary McAdoo will make an address on a number of policies of the administration, and incidentally, confer with local political leaders in order to be certain that the delegation which was sent to the next democratic national convention, was not only for Wilson, but one that could be relied upon to stand firm on all incidental questions which might have a bearing on the coming G ,npaign.
 It has been known for some time that despite the emphatic assertions of all
 factions in Alabama that they favored Wilson first, last and all the time, the administration leaders had been led to believe that on matters of platform and organization, at least, there was danger that some might vote in way that would cause the President considera ble embarrassment It is known that sev- eral Alabamians have conferred within lHe past 1nOnCN or more With the wilson leaders in Washington, and the situation has been presented in several different lights. It was suspected here that one of the real objects of the McAdoo trip was to ascertain some first hand infor- mation and see that the fences were in proper order
 FRACTIONAL FIGHT It is known that certain very able and very astute politicians, following the an nouncement that Secretary McAdoo was coming to Birmingham, sought to clarify the situation before his arrival Some nasty conferences were held in an effort to reach an agreement which would keep down factional fight throughout the state over the selection of delegates to the co invention. The exact result of these conferences has not up to the present l time been ascertained.
 It has been suggested that the Presi- dent may have decided to carry out his original plan and make trip south him. self, and this has been advanced as possible reason for the change in plans of the cabinet officer. Whatever situa- tion brought about the change, Birming- 1 ham and the entire state is considering the matter with no small interest and there is an unusual amount of specula- ton going on. Many cannot be convinced that the political situation is not in part at least responsible for the inability of Secretary McAdoo to leave Washington
 at this time.

"On Trial"

Easily the most talked about play of this or any other season is Elmer L.. Rezeinstein's melodrama, ''On Trial" |" announced for presentation at the Jeff
 ferson theatre for two nights and a special Saturday matinee commencing
 Friday, February Il. 'Dn TriaP' was produced by Messrs.
 Cohan & Harris over year ago, and
 from the first performance it fairly swept Gotham off their feet with it's realism and novelty. The play holds the audience enthralled with it's swift moving scenes filled with action, suspense and climax. Seats for all performances go on sale this Friday morning at the Jefferson theatre box office

SENATOR REED DOES NOT MINCE WORDS IN

is at liberty on the streets where his challenge of battle can be accepted.
 MT. Fall. Does the senator mean
 MT Reed In a moment. l once owned fighting dog of that variety. He was the best 1 was able to accumulate. He never manifested any great de~Tee of courage until after he was accused of stealing chickens and 1 had tied him up to save his worthless life, Whereupon my yellow animal was transf~~mcd into raging lien. Let a stray canine pass along the streets. instantly my warrior would draw back malicious lips dis laying dangerous, gleaming fangs; his eyes glared like the headlights of loco motive; his red tongue lapped out for gore; his hair stood on end and he filled the air with roarings and growlings typi- cally Rooseveltian. But unchain the brute and tabby cat might twitch his tail with perfect impunity Indeed, his natural habitat was under the porch 0aughter in the galleries.)
 FALL STRIKES BACK
 Mr. Fall MT President, will the sena- tor yield moment?
 The Vice President Does the senator from Missouri yield to the senator from Mexico?
 MT. Reed. Yes; I think I am through now with that.
 l conclude with that phase until he an- swers a question. I should like to know whether in 1898 he thought Oyster Bay was a safer place than hansas City?
 Mr. Reed. Oh, mo- did not think any thing of the kind. I understand the in nuendo of the gallant knight from the southwest: but, since the senator has asked me the question, 1 will say to him that I had a regiment raised and the promise of the governor of my state that it would be the next mustered in The only reason I did not go was because the war was over before Missouri was as- signed any more troops I have, how ever, not been in the habit of parading my modest efforts. I would not mention the circumstance now, except for the somewhat contemptuous and insulting re- mark the senator has passed over to this side of the chamber.
 The Vice President. Let us be careful not to violate the rules of the Senate.
 Mr. Fall. If the senator can construe my question an insult, he is welcome to such a construction as he desires to place upon it.

At the Lyric

y
 Welch's Minstrels are easily the head liners of the bill for the second half of the week at the Lyric. The other four acts are good but somehow seem to lack the punch that makes for first class performance This may be due to the character of the bill rather than the in- dividual acts for no real fault could bs found with any of them.
 The openins number, a muscial offer ing by the Hodges, 5 in number, was de serving of a better reception.
 Miss Ruth Custis, a singing comedienne made good from the start but failed to arouse enthusiasm
 Miss Elizabeth Baker and company tone) was clever in her particular line
 Earnest Aldwell sang 'Mother" better than it has been sung on the local stage but: it has been sung so many time. recently and is beginning to tire Miss Mae l3route has a good voice which she used to advantage
