Montgomery, February 1.-(Special)
Fire originating in a mysterious way
practically destroyed the Windsor hotel
building and inflicted a property loss OF
more than 100000 Friday afternoon.
The flames originated in the hotel
proper and by the time the fire depart
ment could answer the alarm had spread
through greater part of the 92-room es-
tablishment.
The hotel is considered a total loss,
while the property loss resulting from
smoke ard water which reached several
stores in the first floor of the building
was heavy. Those who suffered in addi-
ton to the Windsor Hotel company were
Waterford's Drug company, Horn Bros
JcUelry company, Windsor cafe, Wind
sor DRUG company, Piha Bros, and the
barbershop of s. S. Ogletree.
The Windsor hotel was one of the cid
est hotels in Montgomery, and the build
ing had been in use more than a quarter
of century. For many years the hotel
was the leading one in the city and has
always attracted many persons because
of it's fame
Mrs. Mary West one of the co-admin-
istrators OF the estate of d. P. West,
which owns the property, has been oper-
ating the hotel, and it was stated Fri
day night that insurance was carried On
the building and furnishings. Others who
suffered in the fire were insured.
1t is probable that the fire was starred
by defect in the electric wiring.

til Director McAdoo has made thorough
inquiry.
Il. Fl. Cooper, in the name of the COM
mission, requested this action, and the
commission Thursday received a letter
from the office of the director general
saying that he had determined to make
general investigation. Purchasers of
the property have determined to sell the
equipment while prices are high, con-
tending that the road has never been a
paying one. The public service commits

There is much complaint here on ac-

meant to enforce them.

OUR TRADE WITH CANADA

Astonishing as these figures that tell
of Canadas financial relations with the
United States are Mr.. Lamont regarded
them as Of less Importance than the Of
fetal figures which tell of our trade
with Canada. There is the great outlook
for future development of international
trade upon the American hemisphere in
which the United States will secure so
81 eat share. In fact, our trade with
Canada and with South America should,
after the war is ended, increase so
greatly as to surpass the aggregate of
our trade with all the other nations of
the world. Five years before the Euro
pean war began we had established an
excellent trade with Canada, according
to Mr. Lamont. In 1909. the money value
OF the commodities Canada bought in the
United States was $1so,00o,0oo, whereas on
the other hand, we bought in the same
year Canadian commodities of the money
value of $92. 100000 Therefore, the trade
balance of the United States in that year
was about $4,000 900. That balance was
presumably nquidated through London
Rut it Is an astonishing jump from the
figures of 1909 to those which Mr.. La
mont reports for the year 1917 In that
year Canada bought United States COM
modities of the money value of s6640o0,006
and we bought Canadian commodities of
co.,
Therefore. the total OF the interna-
tional trade in which Canada and the
United States took part In 1917 was al
most exactly $1,000 100000
A favorable trade balance for the
United States Of nearly s375000,000 wars
created BY our Canadian trade for 1917
This balance in addition to the loans
which Canada secured n this country
makes too United States a creditor OF
Canada for a little under 8, 900, 10000.
When it - remembered that the entire
dominion of Canada contains a popula-
ton approximately the same as that Of
the Metropolitan district OF New York it
will be all the easier to realize the mag
nituds of Canadian fiscal and trade op-
erations since the beginning of the war
Great a. these are, Mr.. Lamont. Pres
ident Teaglc Of the Standard Oil cont
pany and others WHO are qualified to
ereak, believe that the impulses to vast
development OF Canadian resources
which have been occasloned by her war
activities Will remain and in fact be
accelerated after the war is ended.
American capital is already heavily In
vested in manufacture and industries in
Canada and presumably much more will
be invested when the war is ended be-
cause Canada offers certain advantages
for capital investment which cannot be
fully matched in the United States. Mr.
Lamont regards the increase in mutual
confidence. in common respect each for
the other nation, and in admiration for
the achievements of each since the war
began, as bossibly one of the most bene-
fetal of the influences which the war
has occasiored

Lansing Cables Francis
to Keep the Department
Informed About Threats

Washington, February 1.-Secretary
Lansing has instructed Ambassador
Francis at Petrograd to report to the
state department any developments in
connection with the threats made against
him by anarchists because of the convic-
ton of Emma Goldman and Alexander
Berkman, but it has been left to the
ambassador to follow any course he
may consider advisable. The department
has assumed that he has reported the
incident to the bolshevik element and
may have asked for protection.
Officials Of the department were not
inclined today to regard the ambassa-
doris situation as serious, believing 1t
probable that the government author
tiles would take such measures as nee
essary to protect him.

Hotel Windsor, Noted Mont

With Other Businesses.
Loss S175,000

Montgomery, February 1.-The ruins OF
the Windsor hotel, which was Quilted by
fire early this afternoon, are being
searched tonight for the body of Ben
Spratling, a passenger conductor of the
Western of Alabama railway, who is be-
lieved to have lost his life in the fire. No
trace of the missing man has been found,
and as he was scheduled to report for
his run at o'clock this evening and
failed to appear, all hope for him has
been given up. His clothing was found
in his room before the flames reached
it, and it is believed that he was over
come ny smoke while trying to make his
escape from the building. The fire
started on the third floor of the building,
which covers half block of ground, and
spread with incredible rapidity. A cigar
cite dropped on bed is believed to have
started the flames.
Many guests had narrow escapes, but
Spratling is the only one reported MISS

CANADA'S GROWTH
SINCE WAR BEGAN
By HOLLAND

BY HOLLAND
New York, February 1.-(Special0
Shortly after william Clark Teagle. who
was recently elected president OF the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey,
was chosen president in 1914 of the Inn
perial Oil company Of Canada, which was
Standard OIL company of New Jersey, he
made up his mind that in order to be
we'll prepared for his new duties he
should become familiar with Canada He
knew that great empire to the north Of
US somewhat vaguely and was familiar
with its boundaries because he had oeca-
sion to look at the maps now and then.
Yet he felt sure he had no broad, COM
prehensire knowledge Of the dominion.
He. therefore, made an excursion
throughout practically the length and
breadth of Canada, at least from Mani
toba eastward as far as Quebec. All
that he saw and heard caused him to
speak upon his return with enthusiasm
OF that great dominion and enabled him to
look forward to a day when its resources
would be magnificently developed and
the international trade established be-
tween this country and Canada would be
very large.
That excursion throughout Canada was
made five years ago Three of those five
years Mr.. Teagle lived in Toronto. from
which city he was transferred to the
presidency of the Standard OIL company
OF New Jersey. He saw something of the
wonderful growth of Canada IN the three
years since 1914 when he wos directing
the affairs of the Imperial Oil COM
of Canada's growth and of her trade
with the United States which he made
some wears earlier-and which he pre-
sumed would not be realized until 10 or
10, perhaps 90 years had passed-is now
fully justified by the event.
Thomas w. Lamont. partner of the
house of j. P. Morgan & Co.. who has
made careful study of conditions in
Canada, set forth in an address to the
members of the Canadian society of
New York in few impressive figures
the growth of Canada since war be-
gan and especially the magnitude of her
increased relations with the United
States only $9,60O,00o That loan was
for special purpose Presumably 1t was
related to the establishment of Canadian
internal improvements. Six years later
Canada approached our markets success
fully for loan in the aggregate of VITO
100000, and the average of her loans for
each year since the war began has been
s1S3, 900, 600 That is almost as much as
the average yearly borrowing Canada
used to secure in London before the war
began.
