VIOLENT ELECTRIC STORM VISITS CITY,
 HITS SUbSTAT|ON
City Without Current For Two HourS--11 Persons lm- prisoned in Elevator.
 Martins Statement

One of the most violent lightning storms of many years visited BIT mingham yesterday afternoon be- tween 4 and o'clock.
 The city was without electric cur rent for practically two hours, be- ginning at 5:4S o'clock, when the Magella substation was struck. When the current suddently failed many were caught in the downtown ele- vators. Age Herald early editions were delayed, dinners were eaten by candle-light, and everybody's sohed- ule was disarranged.
 Thomas w. Martin, president of the Alabama Power company, last night gave the following formal explana- tion of the accident:
 "The interruption in the power service was caused by the lightning coming into the Magella substation over the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company's feeder lines damaging part of the equipment serving the Birmingham company.
 Violent storm
 The lighting storm was one of the most violent that has visit this district in many years and only by the hardest work was the service restored after an interruption some thing more than one hour.
 This was the longest interruption in this service in more than eight years during which this company has supplied the power requirements of this district, and is of course, very much regretted. Everything possible was done to restore the service as quickly as possible, but the extent of the damage made it impossible for this Is to be done in short time."
 Stuck in Elevator
 One of the freaks of the thunder bolt that put electricity out of serv- ice yesterday aftefnoon was the im- prisonment of Il persons during the hour and 40 minutes when the cur rent was soff in one of the elevators in the American Trust building.
 The elevator was between the first and second floors when the power went off and stuck there, the top being about level with the second floor. One of the, passengers. re- porting the event. said: There were Il of us and the elevator boy. five men. four ladies, a little girl and the elevator boy. We had to stand dur ing the entire cessation of the cur rent in the close quarters of the ele- vator. Gee, but, strong as I am, was all done up when the current finally came on and we got out.
 "A policeman and others attempt ed to come to our assistance and we had about gotten to the top of the ele- vator so that we could raise it and get out through the second floor opening when the current came on and let us down to the first floor.
 q consider it especially tough luck, because had the bolt waited one to two seconds longer, we would have teen at the first floor and able to

 PORT AMENDMENT
Points to What State Aid in Louisiana Did For Port of
 New Orleans

Taking position that development of the port of Mobile is to the in- terest of all the people of his state. United states Senator Oscar Under wood. after pointing out what state aid in Louisiana did for port of New orleans. heartily indorses the Ala bama seaport amendment to be voted on this fall.
 In a letter to II. K. Milner. chair man of the Alabama state harbor commission, and Sidney J. Bowie chairman of the seaport committee, he writes:
 T am glad to say that 1 am hear tily in favor of this amendment. The port of Mobile is naturally one of the best in the United States, and, in my judgment, is the peer of the ports on the gulf coast. It has a great hinter- land from which the commerce of the Mississippi valley will come for ex- port. especially to South America. but no port can function without the proper facilities to do business, and the proposed amendment is to aid in supplying these facilities. The state of Louisiana has taken similar action for the port of New Orleans, and 1t has been successful and has not cost the people anything except the loan of their credit.
 "l feel confident that the program will work out successfully for Mobile and the development of this port Is not only to the interest of the people Of Mobile, but to the interest of every citizen of Alabama, and We should therefore all stand behind it.'

The Macabees will not remove from their present offices at 221S-1s Jeffer- son County Bank building.
 This was decided last night at Q meeting of the trustees of the organ ization. It was thought for time that removal would be made so that three business offices might be had together.
 The trustees also set the salary of the record keeper.
 Very much interest centers in a number of new life insurance policies approved by the recent Supreme Re- view at Detroit. Frank o. Croy. su- preme commander for Alabama. said last night that they were better than any policies heretofore offered by the organization. and superior to any poll icies, he thought. being written by anybody"
 New Insurance Policies
 The new policies go strong on hos- pital benefits. They are gotten out on a legal reserve basis. and provide 2o-year pay with endowment at age of 70 years, and 20-year paid with paid up and extended insurance, cash values, disability and hospital bene- fits.
 Dividends will be paid on these pol icies after three years. While they are now being sold, the order plans to push them after September l, with a special man in the field.

TYPHOID REPORT NOT
 TRUE, SAYS BOWLING

pr. J. D. Bowling. city and county health officer, yesterday character ized as an untruth the rumor afloat throughout tho city that typhoid pestilence had infested the Boyles shop of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and that the city was dan gerously menaced.
 Rumor also had it that quarantine of the shops was being considered by the health department and that op- erations within the shops would be suspended. This, Dr. Bowling points out, is baseless, but the matter has been under rigid investigation by the health department. which result ed in branding the false runor by Dr. Bowling.
 The cases not yet diagnosed, which were yesterday reported to the health department, three in number, are under close watch by department officials, and Dr. Bowling declared there was no need of alarm.
