HEADQUARTERS OF
 SOUTHERN RAILWAY
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
Important Records Are Lost in Washington, But Most Valuable Are Saved
 by Vaults

Washington, April 23.--The general headuuarters building of the Southern railway was gutted tonight by fire of unknown origin. Many important rec ords were lost but officials said the most valuable were saved by fireproof vaults on the lower floors. The none tary loss was estimated at $200,000
 The blaze started on the third floor and had swept the three stories above before it was discovered. Three tele- graph operators and watchman, the only persons in the building at the time, escaped unhurt.
 Much of the work of the Southern's train dispatchers was done from the general offices. This was interrupted when the operators had to flee from their posts, but emergency arrange ments were made immediately for handling the situation.
 Although the flames made furnace of the upper part of the building, the lower floors suffered chiefly from smoke and water Walter Snyder, a fireman, was showered with brick and a part of the face of the tower clock as he climbed a ladder. He was brought to the ground by comrades and taken to a hospital badly injured.
 The building was a brick and stone structure of six stories, on Pennsyl- vania avenue near the Municipal build ing It was impossible late tonight to estimate the damage to the annex, which stands near the general offices, if there was any

CONVENTIONS ARE
 OF BENEFIT TO CITY

Birmingham has been very fortunate this year in entertaining some of the most important conventions in the coun- try said Bruce Kennedy. secretary of the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce, who was at the Tutwiler last night. "Of course the biggest and most impor- tant of all will be the Confederate vet erans reunion next month. but the Southern Hardware Jobbers and the American Hardware Manufacturers were also very important gatherings.
 Many people do not realize the im- portance of securing these conventions, but nothing a city man can do results in greater good than entertaining i'm portant convention. Aside from the money spent by the delegates and the visitors, which frequently runs into large figures, the advertising a city gets is worth mlAch money"

FINE EASTER GIFT
 1 FOR FATHER COYLE.
Parishioners of St. Pauls Church Present Pastor
 With Automobile

Tired. but happy after celebrating the two early Easter masses, during whlch he gave communion to over 1000 of his flock. Father CoyleS went to breakfast yesterday morning. He saw rather bulky envelope on his plate, and recog- nizing Mrs w. I. Grubb's calligraphy, he sighed, for he thought it meant that that particular energetic member of the fold had some work for him to do (she ire ouently has), and he, being rather tired after the strenuous holy week and Easter morning services, was picturing how rest full and relaxing a pursuit of the elusive golf ball over the Roebuck links would be on the morrow, so he sighed
 The contents of the letter, however, dis pelled his fears, and made him aware Of the fact that the aforementioned ener- getic lady has been working herself, and had been working others (no slang in- tended) for his benefit The letter ran: My Dear Father Coyle:
 'As a small token of our friendship for you, the inclosed list of your parish toners have joined with me in making it possible for you to turn in to the Brown ell Auto company your old car and get new one.
 "It has given each and every one of the contributors great pleasure to aid in this small way to your comfort.
 "Wishing you a most happy Easter, 1 am. cordially, ALYS V. GRUBB.'
 Accompanying the letter was an order to the Brownell Auto company to deliver free of all cost brand new car, and also the following list of parishioners who made possible the gift
 J. J. Smith, F. H. Chamberlain, Henry Ruff, Mrs. G. H. M. Laughlin, D. J. O'Connell, John l.. Kaul. Mrs. H. F.. DeBardeleben, pr. W. R. Ward. Terrence Mackin, Sr., Judge w. P. McCrossin, l.. T. Beecher Hugh McGeever, P. J. Me Geever, Dr. J. J. Duncan, J. A. Carroll, Robert Waite, Dr. Arnold Masberg, Mrs. B. H. O'Bren, Miss Teresa Vigo J. N. Templeton, Fred Macke, Mrs. James Lynch, Mrs. w. l. Grubb, Mrs. S. S. Lawrence, Mrs. B. R. Smith, Mrs. S. c. Shropshire, Mrs. S. H. Goehegan, Mrs. Mabel Roy Leedy, Mrs. Charles Roy, H. Forneking, James Bonnyman, J. c. Gal lagher, Mrs. T. w. OByrne, R. N. Wheeler S. S. Lanier.
 Father Coyle, needless to state, deeply appreciates the magnificent Easter gift of his friends. The gift was an absolute and complete surprise, as he, despite the many feminine names on the list, did not receive the slightest inkling of the intend- ed donation. He says that the old say ing. Telegraph quick, telephone quick CT, tell woman the quickest of all,' is base libel on the fair sex. He hopes he will be enabled to get the same ser vice by night and by day out of his new machine as he has out of the old, which machine also, by the way, was a surprise gift presented to him one Christmas morning some years ago by few parish toners He has been the recipient of so many surprise gifts that he would not be surprised on waking up some fine morning to see a fully equipped aeroplane O" a baby Zeppelin in the yard, with a note attached saying that same is a gift from some of his friends and well wiskers of St. Paul's congregation.

 Lewis is confident that he will be able to down Draalz although his favor ite hold is barred. The programme to- night starts at S:30 o'clock. Several pre- lininaries will precede the main affair. It is generally predicted that Lewis will be unable to gain a decision over Draak and the match will end a draw.
