FIRE DAMAGES
 AMERICAN SHIP
 LYING IN PORT

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Nov. 20.- A fierce fire broke out in the hold of an American transport here early this morning and is still raging, From the rapidity with which the flames sprang up, it is believed that the fire is incendiary.
 A strong guard of American sol diers has been placed around the boat and no one is allowed to pass, The fire company which responded to the alarm was held out until it was seen that the ships crew was unable to check the flames and that the ship would be destroyed.
 LATER REPORT
 AN ATLANTIC PORT, Nov. 20,- The American transport which caught fire this morning was saved from serious damage by the excellent work of the ships crew and local firemen It is now stated that the fire was caused by an explosion of some chemicals which had been used for Immigration purposes.

 WASHINGTON, D. c, Nov 20. The general belief seems to prevail in all quarters. both oil cidl and private, that there will b. no interruption oi war prepa. rations O. the United Stat"~ oC- casioned by trouble betw cen the railroads and their employees of the four big brotherhoods This opinion IS founded upon the agreement of the workers to me diate and the decision of the rail road managers to leave the mat ter with President Wilson for decision
 There is a general abatement throughout the industrial centers of the tension which has prevail ed since the announcement of the recent demands of the trainmen. It is now believed that there will be no reopening of the question until after the end of the war.

SHIELDING SHADOW ENDS.

the most popular serials Manager
Stockley has ever put on reached the
fifteenth and final chapter at
the Rex Saturday. Sebastian Navar-
no brought to bay by pursuers leaped
to his death from a precipice, Raven
ger proved to be Carson come to life
who forced Navarro to sign a state
ment clearing his name after which
he permitted him to escape, only to
be pursued to his death. Carson told
how he escaped from the octopus, by
cutting himself loose with his knife
under water and escaping. OF course
he married Leontine, Sebastian S wife
in name only, released by his death.

FOR DAVIS
MONUMENT
Hopkinsville Business Men
and Daughters Of Cenfed-
eracy To Take Part.

1t is earnestly desired that every
member of the committee named a
few days ago, for the purpose of de-
vising plans to help build this beauti-
full obelisk, will pc present at the
luncheon to-day, noon, at the Avalon.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
are making extensive preparations for
an appetizing menu, and hope nc re-
grets will be sent in. This commit
mittee of busin IS men of the city and
county will try to raise sufficient funds
from the people of the city and com-
ty show The civic and commercial
pride that they have in this splendid
endeavor. Patriotism and sentiment
are all right in way but party feel
ing is to be laid aside to-day and eve
ry body will help build this magnifi-
cent monument that will give Hop
kinsville and Christian county and
Todd county distinction equal to the
native home of Abraham Lincoln.
We are proud of Mr.. Lincoln'S men,
orial. Let us make it possible to be
proud of Mr.. Davis monument by
contributing literally to it.

DAVIS OBELISK
Start Made Raising Funds and
$500 Subscribed.

AT luncheon served to a number
of business men at the Avalon Satur.
day definite movement was inaugu.
rated to raise $1,000 or more in
Christian county for the 351 foot ODE.
lisk to be erected in the Jefferson
Davis memorial park at Fairview.
About $500 was pledged by those
present and committees were named
to canvass the county closely to Sc
cure the balance. Gen. Bennett H.
Young, of Louisville, president of the
jefferson Davis home association,
that the contract for build
ing the obelisk was let Saturday.
Work will begin at once.
That this work is now attracting
wide attention, is shown by the fol-
lowing editorial from the Evansville
Courier:
THE people of Hopkinsville are
planning to raise $1,000 to $1,000 for
the Jefferson Davis obelisk. They
will do it, too, for in the vernacular
of the street "the Hoptown bunch
are live bunch. "
Evansville should do its bit to-
wards building the monument to the
leader, and the local U.
D. c. is best equipped to take leader
ship in the movement. AS the people
are now raising many funds for many
local objects, doubtless the fund should
be restricted to those who would en-
Joy making a small contribution. This
city at least should raise 500.
''The Courier will agree to print
the list of contributors and be one of
them in case the local u. d. c. takes
the matter up"

Speaker Early In the
Afternoon.
WAR RESOLUTION SURE
Will Have Large Majorities in
Both Houses, Despite the
Pacifist Opposition.

Washington, April 2.-Congress,
called in extraordinary session by
President Wilson, met to-day to
determine the most important issues
before the legislative representatives
of the people of the United States
since the civil war. 1t is considered
a foregone conclusion that it either
will declare war against Germany, or
declare a state of war exists because
of Germany's aggressions on the
high seas.
President Wilson has completed the
message he will deliver to congress
and is ready to address a joint session
as soon as he gets word that both
houses have been organized and are
ready to hear him.
Either before or directly after he
addresses congress the president is
expected to confer with leaders of
both houses regarding the specific
Legislation desired by the administra-
ton. The war and navy departments
continued today their preliminary
preparedness measures and are ready
with recommendations for further
strengthening the army and navy, to
be submitted as soon as congress de-
cides whether the nation is actually
to 90 to war with Germany.
Both houses met at noon. The
senate, already organized, was ready
to transact business when the gravel
fell.
The House lost no time in organic
ing, Champ Clark being reelected
speaker on the first ballot, with sew
eral votes to spare. Four Republican
members were absent.
President Wilson appeared before
the joint session at three o'clock and
delivered the message he had pre-
pared.
