One of tla thrilling scenes of "In Old Kentucky, tbe First Nationa, big special feature with Anita StOgar, starring. whica will be shown at the Bradley Theatre on Monday and Tues day. is where Miss Stewart rushes in- to a burning barn to save thorough bred racer from the flames. A barn was purchased for this purpose and wa unel te the etolnd
 Miss Stewart as Madge Brierly, the little mountain girl, has been visiting in nearby city. She is very much in love with the young master of the estate. but has been told by a jealous woman that the young man is playing with her heart She slips quietly out of the big house to return to her mountain home But as she leaves the grounds she sees that the barn is on fire
 She knows that a fine thoroughbred race horse is stabled in the barn. and that the horse is a favorite for the stakes in the great Kentucky handicap which race soon is to be run,
 Others from the house rush out as the flames mount up, but no one dares to enter the stable, which is enveloped in smoke and flame
 Miss Stewart actually rushes into the barn and finally coaxes the horse to follow her out of the stable The fire and smoke is so thick that she can hardly be seen through the door way, but she finally emerees. half suf- located
 Her hair was singed in the taking of the scene, and she was nearly smothered by the smoke. but she suf- fered no serious injury
 The barn of dry boards and filled with hay then quickly burns to the ground and falls into ruins. It is q brilliant fire spectacle and carries an intense thrill

DESTROY
RICHMOND MICA PLANT

The plant OF the Richmond Mica
Company. at 321 and 32S South Ninth
street was completely destroyed by
fire last night.
/ 1t was stated by one of the work
men who was on duty at the time.
that the fire was caused by the bear
ings in one of the machines becom-
first attracted his attention by the
fumes of smoke and oil, and he ran
for bucket of water, but when he
returned the fire had gained such
Roadway that II was impossible for
him to get within reach, and 1t was
with difficulty that he and FIVE other
workmen escaped from the building
the flames having by this time cover
ed the entire second floor.
The spread OF the flames was so
rapid that the workmcn had to ieavs
the building in their working clothes,
leaving their street clothes behind to
be destroyed by the flames.
The alarm was sounded at 1880
o'clock and go rapidly did the flames
gain that it was thought advisable to
sound the second alarm which
brought out three additional fire com.
panies, which poured streams OF
water ON the burning building for
two hours before the IRE was gotten
under control.
John Mitten, one Of the employees
that was working in the building at
the time OF the FIRE, vas caught on
the third floor of the burning plant,
and 1t was with difficulty that he was
able to make his exit. so dense was
the smoke.
While 1t could not be learned the
exact amount of damages done 1t Is
thought that the loss will exceed s25,-
600.
The building ss owned and operated
by the Richmond Mica company, with
Offices at sol East Main street.

DR.. BOWIE WILL NOT
LEAVE ST. PAUL'S

DIR. w. Russell Bowie, rector OF the
st PauPs Episcopal church, last night
stated that he would not accept the
charge of the social service depart
ment of the domestic board Of mis-
sionss OF the Episcopal church, but
would remain at St. PauIs. The o.
Ter was made 10 DR. Bowie by offic-
ials of New York, but after talking
the matter over he thought it best
to remain in Richmond.
Dr. Bowie's leading part in the ma
ton wide drive sof &the Episcopal
church last fall drew attention to him
as the logical leader for the new po-
sition. The department of social
work has been recognized. A man
of keen vision, initiative and ability
is being sought and DIR. Bowie seemed
TO be the logical choice.
II is understood that the salary
offered DIR. Bowie was appreciably
more than he is receiving at St. Pauls
