IN SORROW FOR
LOSS OF GIRL
FRIEND OF TEN
(By L. c. BRANSON.)

She was our only daughter s
chum. She was our companion on
camping trips and on occasion
spent her nights at our home. In
the two years of our absence from
Ely letters came regularly in child
ish terms from little Jenny Fletch-
er and her going to her Master
above seems to US like the loss was
of our own. When I came to town
alone I have willingly waited for
her to write them to take back
with me to our Mary. Would that
I only could do it once more.
I may not pay as much attention
to children as some grown persons,
but to congenial ones, to those who
have the supreme advantage of
good home training and respect for
their elders, my time is theirs, and
for nothing on earth have | great
er love. Jenny was but 10 and know
ing her as our family does can
think of nothing brilliant, as she.
like our own daughter, was Of the
commonplace, yet she as mere
child had that trait of congeniality
fastened to her kind for life, and
she had that home advantage that,
sad to say, has not been given to
every child To us she was more,
for she was one of us. AS | write
these lines l am thankful in my
choking that 1 DO not have to say
them in public. Yet what en-
hances our grief is the personal
knowledge of that infinitely greater
burden of sorrow suddenly cast
upon the shoulders of her lovable
parents, two brothers and sister,
the family of Mr.. and Mrs. F. W
Fletcher, our intimate and closest
friends since the dag we came to
Ely.

The Fourth was made the more
glorious in Ely by the baseball game
between the wonderful teams of
Ruth and McGill, and more SO by
the way both players an'l rooters
behaved themselves with true sports
manlike etiquette. The score OF to
p is the best evidence of the kind OF
a game that it was.
Perhaps the most trying part to
play in baseball game is when one
side knows it is losing and cannot
score up to the point of having a
chance to win in the last innings,
yet to avoid a panic and let the ad-
verse score pile up unnecessarily at
the last and spelling the whole game.
Even more so appears the fact that
out of seven games that have been
played this season McGill has won
but one, yet the grade of its work
goes on the same without sign OF
a collapse from sheer disgust. So,
considering these two phases of this
seasons play, McGill can claim a
double triumph.
AS it should always be with cele.
bration events, the game Wednesday
started on the minute and the play
to the finish was prompt and rapid
There was a remarkable play in the
first half of the third when Pace
Ruth's southpaw, pitched three balls
all of which were hit and flew out,
one of them foul. In the last Cf
the seventh Brown got first and then
with bases full Curtis struck out and
retired his side. The treble play of
Blackwood to Neumann to Hicks in
the last half of the eighth retired
Ginter and Cour and the side.
Umpire Culver lost his bearings
for a minute when he called Hicks
out on second because he ran and
the ball was thrown, when Neumann
was given first on balls 1t dawned
on him then.
Hicks made beauty of home
run in the fourth when he sent the
ball far beyond the automobile line,
the run for man of his corporation
being the more remarkable than the
hit. In the whole game Fat in four
times up hit three. Pesout, McGill's s
leftfielder, showed 'em where to
really put the ball when he bounded

ASSAILS QUESTIONING OF CHRIST'S DEITY BY REV. PERCY s. GRANT

Questioning the virgin birth of Christ is not essential to belief in Ills dety, Dr. Henry NJ. Edmonds, pastor of the Independent Presby terian church. declared Sunday night at the Lyric theatre services of his church while discussing "Troubles in the Church."
 Declaration of pr. Harry Emerson Fosdick of New York that he would not drve a man from the church for declining to accept the virgin birth of Jesus as fact was commended by Dr. Edmonds. Charges made re- gently against Dr. Fosdick asserted he had denied the virgin birth of the Savior.
 Dr. Edmonds did not deal quite so kindly with utteranees attributed .fo Dr. Percy S Grant Of the Church ai the Ascension, New York. dur ing his controversy of recent months with Bishop William T. Manning of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of New York.
 Tt Is a serious proposition for any person to declare himself at outs with the Church God.' asserted Dr. Edmonds. Strife and dissention arises many times over minor mat ters that in most instances should prove no cause for discussion"
 Dr. Grant has asserted that cut and dried interpretation Of Christian doctrines should be supplanted large ly by independent thinking. His clashes with Bishop Manning have attracted wide notice. The contro versy began when Dr. Grant ques- toned the deity of Christ

QUICK WORK. HOLDS DOWN FIRE LOSSES
Doubled Shifts and Added Equipment Assist Depart ment in Checking 46
 BIazes in Less Than
 12 Hours Sunday

Quick work in answering calls, doubling up of shifts and extra fire equipment contributed to holding down Birmingham's fire loss to a much smaller total Sun day. Although 46 calls were an- swered between o'clock Sunday morning and 6:30 Sunday night, most of the blazes were nipped in the bud, according to Fire Chief J. L. Akin.
 Most serious damage for the day was done in North Birmingham to a house owned and occupied by c. B. Rogers, 2129 Thirty-sixth avenue, where fire, caused by a spark falling on the roof, destroyed the roof and second story at 1:45 Sunday morning, resulting in loss of $4,000 to the building and ap- proximately $1,5000 to furniture. Loss on the building was said to have been covered by insurance. Night Crews Take Day Trick.
 Residence of Miss Gertrude Ray mond, 1904 Hibernia avenue Ensley. sustained the next largest loss; fall ing sparks igniting the roor and doing damage estimated at about $500 at 10:30 Sunday morning.
 Also caused by falling spark, fire damaged the roof of & house at 2204 Fourteenth avenue. south, owned and occupied by Mrs. NJ. H. Holly, to the extent Of about s20o Sunday morning.
 All night crews remained at their posts during the day in an effort to check the epidemic of fires which has been raging since the beginning of the cold spell early last week. They will work straight through till Monday morning Twa extra units of fire fighting equipment were pressed into service on the Southside Sunday morning; a plmper wagon being stationed at Station 9, and a hose and chemical wagon placed at Station 3, in ad- dition to their regular equipment.
 Chief Akin, advising that resi- dents build smaller fires in their homes, stated that the number of fires the department answered calls to during the day was generally in direct proportion to the cold weath- CT, as most fires are caused by the burning out of chimneys and falling sparks.

 Creep Into Port at NelU York

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-Battered by huge waves encountered in a terrific storm continuing since Wednesday, four big liners limped into port today with bulwarks sheated in ice. Crushed lifeboats and bent and twisted rigging gave mute evidence of their desperate encounters with the clements.
 Meanwhile, ships were rushing to rescue the crews of the schooner Santino, sinking off Nantucket lightship, and abandoned with decks awash. Other reports came by radio telling of vessels dam aged in Che seorm, and which will be delayed in reaching port. With 50 feet of her port bulwarks on the forecastle swept away, the giant Cunard liner Berengaria docked late today, a full day be- hind schedule. Her fscks were ice covered.
 Captain Irvine said that since Wednesday the BerengariS had been fighting her way through huge seas, driven by heavy gale, Snow, rain and sleot, combined with big waves, held tha ship back. The toughest weather was encoun- tered yesterday.
 Obivious to danger, passengers were dancing and singing in the big ball room, when suddenly huge comber swept away the bulwarks. The Berengaria trerlbled and was brought almost to a standstill. The entire crew was ordered out to

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-(By As sociated Press. )-Fire today swept a unit of the Manhattan State Asy- lum for the Insane on Wards J. land, killing 25 inmates and nurses and driving nearly 1,600 insane out of their cells into the stinging cold.
 Twenty-two of the dead were insane. Three were male nurses.
 Most of the dead were trapped in their cells, for it was the homicidal ward that was destroyed.
 Hundreds were carried to safe ty, while terror reigned among the rest of the 1000 insane on the island, situated in the East river.
 A terrific blast, set by dredgers in Hell Gate last night, rocked the building of the Manhattan hospital and authorities, who rushed to the scene, said that in all probability the blast had been the immediate cause of the fire. According to their theory, the jarring of the buildings caused a break in the in sulation of electric wires-in the at- tic of the building. A short cir cult, they think, did the rest.
