Sam's finger frightened on the trigger. In the same moment the pistol spun out of his hand, exploding harmlessly, the heavy calbre bullet burying itself in the wood- work of the wainscoting.
 June had seen the newest peril of the man she loved, and with her riding crop had struck his would-be murderer heavily across the knuckles.
 Sam whirled about to face her. As he did so Lamar snatched up heavy vase from pedestal and brought it down with all his remaining force upon Eagan's s head.
 Smiling Sam dropped to the floor like q stricken bull.
 Max bent over him and snapped a pair of handcuffs on the senseless mans thick wrists Then, weak and dizzy and pant ing, Lamar rose again to his feet sway ing as he tried to stand upright.
 He must have broken in here last night" he gasped. Miss Travis, l owe you my life T."
 Your hand is cut,' cried June. See, it's bleeding! Let me bind it up for you
 The tramp of feet sounded on the stairs below them. The two policemen, escorted by the chattering and shuddering Yama. ascended to the upper hallway. At word from Lamar they picked up the uncon- scious Eagan and lugged him away be- tween them.
 Max. still reeling with exhaustion, turned abruptly to June.
 Miss Travis he said. 1T must ask you one or two questions I would cut off my right arm sooner than. ask them. But I must. Everything depends on your answers
 June forced smile to her ashen lips. She knew the moment had come. The moment of reckoning. which she so long had dreaded.

PRESIDENT BUSH
 ISSUES STATEMENT
Last Opportunity Birmingham Will Have to Entertain Veterans and Citizens Urged to Make Liberal
 Response to Appeal for Funds

Despite the earnest effort and the hard work of the finence committee and the various teams of workers. the necessary funds for the reunion have not ct beer subscribed. President Morris w. Bush of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday issued a statement on the subject calling on those who had not yet assisted to do so without delay and urging those who had made subscriptions to increase the amount they had given.

The finance com mittee cannot make out the budget nor can the various committees go forward with their plans until tGe money to pay the bills is in sight Every committee working for the reunion is being delayed, due to the lack of necessary funds, and the finance committee and the officers of the Chamber of Commerce are anx- ious to wind thls matter up not later thaL April |.
 The statement of President Bush fol- lows:
 "The committees wasting for funds to defray the expenses of the Confederate reunion have worked most earnestly dur ing the past week. In spite of their best efforts, the fund has not been completed
 Tt now becomes necessary to call on everyone W ho has not subscribed to make ? liberal contribution, and to urge those who haze naf their pledges to notify the committee that they will increase the amount already subscribed.
 '"Fhe entertainment of the Confederate 1trnon is. as we all recognize, a big Undertaking, =bu+ there is nothing that would give tha citizens of Birmingham more pleasure than to see t,,at the vet erans of the Confectionery are entertained in a way that will be comfortable and enjoyable. In order to up chat, it is necessary 10 get the most liberal response from all of the citizens of Birmingham. It is certainly the last time that Brming- ham will have the great privilege of en- tertGining this meeting. Nv'
 'The time is growing very short, and the carefully worked up plans of the execu tive committee for entertaining the vet erans are delayed. awaiting the necessary so urgent, that l cannot put it too strongly.
 The committees in. their work the early part of this week must get such response from the people of Birmingham as is necessary to raise the required funds While, of course, the demands during the past year have been most numerous and most insistent, yet the business prospect is so much brighter, and this meeting is of so much importance to the city of Birmingham, both from sentimental, co mmercial and advertising standpoint that it is duty as we'll as a pleasure for us to make some sacrifice to have the reunion handled in the proper sort of way"

DECISION IS UNANIMOUS

DECISION IS UNANIMOUS
 Among the papers whose representa- tives gave Willard the bout were the following:
 New York Herald. Times, Tribune World Sun, American, Press, Evening Telegram, Evening Mail, Evening Jour- nal, Telegraph and Philadelphia In quirer.
 Promoter Tex Rickard announced that the gate receipts amounted to $151, ,24 Of this amount, the state received 71a per cent of the gross receipts, which amounted to $l1344.05. Wilard's share was s475O0, and Moran's S23,750.
 Combined with the percentage taken by the state and the $7500 paid for the rental of the garden, the expenses to- taled $90,C94O5
 To this must be added other eX- penses which will bring the total up to about $100,000, so that Tex Ric<ard and his partner in the enterprise, Sam Me Cracken, will clear close to S50,000 profit on the bout
 Moran refused to make any statement after the bout other than to say there would have been no fighting if he had not taken the aggressive throughout the 10 rounds
 Willard left the garden immediately after the bout, refusing to be inter NleWeu DN newspaper men.
 pr. Lewis Morris, who later attended the champion at his hotel, said that Will lard had suffered a slight fracture of the joint of the first index finger of his right hand early in the fight. He added, however, that the big fellow otherwise was in good condition and that the injury to the finger would not trouble him more than a day or two.
 PUT UP GOOD FIGHT
 Rickard said after the fight:
 Moran put up good fight. He's a darn good boy. Willard was much slower than l thought he'd be- If he broke his right hand, as it is said he claimed he did, it didn't seem to make much difference. He didn't seem to need his right a good part of the time
 Thousands of fight-hungry men and women surged around Madison Square Garden tonight eagerly craning their necks to watch the fraction of their number who were permitted to enter the historic building
 An impenetrable cordon of police, mounted and on foot had been thrown around the Garden hours before, and only those who could show tickets were permitted to pass Those who held the magic pasteboards were formed into what seemed endless lines stretching back from the entrances.
 When the doors were thrown open three-quarters of an hour after the ex- rected time, the great throng, almost automatically, moved forward. It looked for few minutes as if a panic would result, as hundreds tried to force their way in at the same time. It was good multitude, however, and the po- lice soon restored order.
 Hundreds of stylishly gowned women and men in evening dress who arrived in automobiles were forced to leave their cars some distance from the Garden. After struggling through the packed streets. they had to form in line with the other ticket holders.

AMERICANS ARE LOST

Paris, March 2o.-Scarcely any doubt exists at the American embassy to- night that some American lives have been lost in the disaster to the steamer Sussex.
 American Ambassador Sharp sent Naval Lieutenant Bernard l.. Smith by automobile to Boulogne this afternoon to investigate the cause of the disas and assist any Americans who may need help.
 The depositions of some of the American survivors who have arrived at Paris are being taken by the em- bassy. They will be forwarded to the
 From 30 to 50 persons. according to the estimates here, out of 3S0 passengers and the crew of 56, were lost. The weight of testimony is that the Sussex was torpedoed by a submarine, without warn ing
 Most of the passengers killed were French women. Some 20, it is said. were killed by the explosion which wrecked the vessel.
 MANY JUMPED OVERBOARD
 A number, of persons, mostly women, are said to have jumped overheard. Some were drowned and others with life preservers were picked up after con siderable delay, in a few cases as much as four hours later. Many of the pas- sengers were taken off by British tor pedo boat which stood by the damaged passenger ship.
 The Sussex, notwithstanding the hole in her bow, was able to make port at Boulogne. About 50 passengers arrived at the Care du Nord at Paris at 12:15 this afternoon. Many of them wore band ages.
 Two Americans are supposed to have been killed, but nothing so far has been learned here as to their identity. One American at the station who would not give his name, said he had seen a tor pedo coming toward the Sussex. He added:
 There was no warning from the sub marine. The Sussex after being struck sent up distress signals. In 10 minutes 10 British torpedo boats had responded to the signals and were steaming quickly to aid us.'

CONTRACTOR PIKE: |S CONVINCED II
 WILL HELP WIFE
Says He Has Felt Fine Ever Since Taking Tanlac. Gains Thirteen
 Pounds

q want a bottle of Tanlac for my wife, for I am as sure as l am standing here that it will do for her what it did for me-" said J. Lee Pike, a well known contractor and builder of Birmingham, in a statement to pr. George G. Reid, a Tanlac representative.
 She has bad sour stomach and in digestion he continued, and that's what was the matter with me, only my case was worse. I took this Tanlac for it and got back my strength and gained EI pounds in weight. I haven't had a dose since Christmas, but l am eating just as hearty and feeling as good as the day 1 left it off
 Early last fall I began to lose my weight in a way I couldn't account for and at the same time I began to have weak spells. I didn't have as much get up in me as usual and fell off to 13S pounds when 147 is about my average.
 The doctors told me my stomach wasn't right and was not digesting my food properly I could eat all right, but I couldn't get back my weight to save my life and I couldn't get anything that would make me feel stronger and better.
 T bought a bottle of Tanlac as I saw it was advertised to increase weight and it increased my appetite right away, and I began to pick up. l now weigh 146 pounds and feel as well as l did be- fore I had this trouble. l have been off of it nearly two months, for l had to quit to keep from eating up all the groceries in the neighborhood. but just keep on feeling fine and able to do my work.
 T certainly can recommend Tanlac to all people who have lost weight or who don't feel like they are in good health. I believe it is a great medicine and positive benefit to mankind"
 Commenting on this case Mir. G. F. Willis, southern distributor of Tanlac, had this to say:
 These two sufferers who found such quick relief from the use of Tanlac prob ably had no more than simple stomach disorder without complications involving liver, kidneys or other vital organs; and the efficacy of this medicine, even where complications exist, has been so wet. established by the testimony of so many who have used 1t that 1t is no longer a question for discussion.
 Loss of appetite, weakness, a tired feeling and failure to derive proper nour- ishment from one's food, are far more serious symptoms than many realize; for it is the entering wedge to the ma jority Of cases of completely broken down health and fatal maladies. 1anlac sets the digestive organs in order and revital- izes the entire system, arresting injuri- GUS tendencies throughout the body"
 Tan,ac is sold in Birmingham exclu- sively by Eugene Jacobs drug store and Patton-Pope Drug company. It is sold in Bessember by the Pegram-Patton Drug company, and In Ensley by the D. w. Morris Drug company; in North Bir- mingham by Walker Drug company and in Pratt City by Gale Drug company Adv.
