F|REbUG DESTROYS EAST LAKE PARK
 DANCE PAVILION
New Tokio' Reduced to Ashes-City Will Rebuild. Loss S3SO0, Partially
 Insured

Only mass of charred wood and ashes remains of what was New Tokio,' the new dance pavilion of East Lake, which was completely destroyed by flames yes terday morning with loss of $3soo, most ly covered by insurance.
 The report of the fire first reached Birmingham at o'clock, and Chief Mid dleton made a quick run to the scene, only to find the building mass of flames. The attention of the fire depar-- ment was concentrated on saving the re- mainder of the buildings in the park, which were threatened by the blaze
 Waterman Wallace and Officers Bur kett anl Wyatt all agree that the build- ing seemed to burst into flames in al quarters at once, as if it had been a well planned and executed maneuver by fire bug. According to Chief Middleton and others who saw the fire, there is little doubt that the building was touched off by some unknown person. The recent burning of other city buildings lends be- lief to this statement, states Hugh HUI, manager of East Lake park.
 This new building, which had just re- gently been erected. possessed hard wood floor alone that cost over 5000 to construct The piano and musical in- struments of the orchestra were also lost in the blaze Manager Hill at once got into communication with Commissioners :. Ellis Brown and pr. N A. Barrett, and plans were laid for the building or another dance pavilion immediately.
 New Tokio" will, according to the plans of Manager Hill, be built over the ;alse, should the city commission grant this permission. It is stated that this wi give many of the advantages cf dancing on the deck of large boat and that for many reasons will be much more desirable location, the breeze from across the lake adding much to tae comfort and pleasure of the dancers dur ing the warm summer months.
 Hilarity Hall will be used for the regular dances during the time that the new building is under construction which, 1t is estimated. will be about six weeks, should there be no hitch in get ting the appropriation by the city com mission.
 President N. A. Barrett of the city commission was busy yesterday in checking over the insurance policies car ried on East Lake in order to determine the exact amount of the loss to the city, and the fire department was equally as busy in an investigation of the origin of the fire

 The law provides that no child under 16 years may work after o'clock in the evening under any circumstances.
 It is understood that several views are being taken about the law by both parents and employers, some of them claiming that on account of the unusual labor conditions prevailing during war time it is necessary to employ chii- dren, and it has been shown in some cases that they are actually assisting in the support of families. It is further stated that there has been such de- mand for men in the factories and places of heavy manual labor that it is impos- sible to get men to fill the places that may be filled by boys and girls, and that in view of the need of man power 1t would not be the proper thing to do.
