 Up to the present tune all film and stage versions of eastern harem and slave market scenes--even those pro- duced by the greatest directors sought their inspiration from the stories of the Arabian Nights and from paintings which reproduced the harems and slave markets of thou sand years ago, and which are not true to life in the twentieth century
 In Auction of Souls" the producers have broken with tradition and in stage setting, costume and action have reproduced, not a conventional Arabian Night slave market and harem scene, but have taken as their models these places as they actually exist today or did exist before the British entered Constantinople.

KILBY LOSES TEMPER

Governor Kilky is showing the strain of the fight that has now been going on for two weeks over the revenue bill He is losing his temper. He is charging the coal operators and iron makers with falsifying their statements for the purpose of influencing the leg islature to strike out on the coal and iron tonnage tax. To the Age-H Herald reporter he stated this afternoon that he does not believe the operators that they misrepresent the facts in their statements before the legislative com mittee.
 Governor Klby asserts that he has been told by one or more coal operators that the profits on mining coal are from one dollar to one dollar and half and he says he believes they are tell ing the truth.
 Those who declare that the profits are only a few cents, if anything at all, he says he does not believe.
 Captain Frank S White representa- tive of the Birmingham Civic associa- yon. declared that the levyiug ur e tax on coal production would drive the small operators out of business.
 He demanded proof that thfe operators are making dollar or more per ton profit and branded az false any such statements by whornsoever made. He demanded that the person making such claim be produced before the commit tee in open session so that the people might know who he is.
 William L. Harrison, president of the Alabama Federation of Labor, and rep resentative in the legislature from Jef- ferson county, appealed to the committee to strike out the coal and iron tonnage tax. He stated that it would be bur- den on the operators and that in the end it would have to be paid by the miners, as the competition is such that Alabama coal now has only a restrict cd

Pratt, killed when he boarded the ship
of the enemy, is an example which no
CHILEAN sailor has ever forgotten.
Chains Slip and Graft Drops Back.
The hoists did not work right, the
chains slipped and the HIS returned to
it's old position. After some time the
rescuers succeeded in passing a new
chain under the submarine, which
| slowly raised by the stern so that the
| bow would be tipped as little as pos
| sible. While this maneuver was being
made a tug cut the telephone connec-
| ton and communication with the sunk
| en- vessel was again cut off and wa9
not re-established.
The hours passed in extreme an
| guish, the victims believing that the
attempts to save them were useless,
and those making the attempts think
ing 1t was already too late to rescue
their brave companions alive. But
the work was continued with energy,
and at length the stern came to the
surface.
That was the most solemn moment
of the whole operation. Few believed
that any of the crew would still be
| alive and that all they had done was
| to raise out of the sea a coffin contain
ing 81 bodies.
With no means for communication
with the submarine to let the men
know that the stern was already
| above water, one Of the sailors tapped
the Morse code with a hammer on the
outside. A few minutes passed and
the hatchway was opened. A man
appeared, exhausted, pale and his eyes
bloodshot. One by n the rest fol-
lowed.
Then when it was thought that only
the captain was still on board it was
found that two men were missing.
Captain Del Solar descended again
into the submarine and found a ma
chinist still calking and a fireman still
at the pump. Neither of the two had
received orders to come out and they
remained at their posts.
The Gillian submarine H-3 was des-
| ignated with the number E-12 in the
English navy. 1t was the belief of
the sailors that because it had borne
this number it was certain to come to
harm.
1t was said that the accident was
caused by the breaking Of the bottom
of the tank in the battery. At the
time of the accident the automatic
scaphanders for the rescue Of the
crew were not on board. They had
been taken to the arsenal for repairs.

chlorine from the main section had
already begun to filter through the
cracks. However, this compartment
was soon filed with the poisonous gas
and the men had to leave it to avoid
asphyxiation. Orders were then given
to retire to the only chamber left, that
| at the bow, where new and frightful
tortures awaited them.
Just as soon as the officers and sail
ors had shut themselves up in the bow
the electric current was cut off, leav-
ing the submarine still submerged and
in complete darkness. This to the
various persons who had V board
ed q submarine before in their lives,
meant certain death. The commander
exhorted his men to continue in the
dark their work of calking up the
compartment to stop the thrush OF
water and gas, which continued to
spread throughout the boat. The hull
was laying at q depth of IL meters, in

At Work In Darkness.
Each man worked at random in the
dark; several of them were almost
overcome and their strength had be-

was not lessened for one moment. The
only pump available drove the water
out slowly, which helped to prolong
the hope of rescue which these in
trepid sailors had in their hearts.
The air was well nigh irrespirable
their pulses beat with fury. But, In
| spite of all, each man was perform
ing in the dark the task assigned him.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, six
hours after the sinking, the crew
heard the clatter of a chain that was
being cut. They knew then that eff
forts for their rescue were under way
and at the same time that these eff
forts were being frustrated. The sub
marine, after the chain was cut, had
remained in position with her stern
| somewhat raised.
Meanwhile, in the world above, the
disappearance of the H7S had become
known and all elements of rescue
were set TO work and succeeded in 10

from the indications of a tugboat
