safety reached down and helped the
others up.
For those who had been injured in
the first plunge down there was no
hope. The water, hurting through
the car swept bodies through the
shattered panes. Even for those who
struggled to the top. death played a
waiting game. 1t was minutes only
before help came. some boys rowing
along the river side and firemen with
their ladders reaching down from
atop the bridge were prompt, but to
those clinging there on the wrecked
car top, their clothing drenched, near
perishing with cold, it seemed an age.
Colored Men Heroes.
John Lewis, S95 w. Central Ave-,
and s. Z. Curtis, 1873 Charles, OBJ
servation car porter and chef, re-
spectively, were heroes in the trag-
edy. Though stunned by the sudden
ness of the car plunge and chilled by
the icy waters of the Chippewa river,
the two men standing in water up to
their necks, disregarding their own
injuries, assisted in rescuing many
persons less fortunate.
Lewis hanas were frozen and his
head was cut and bruised in the
crash. Curtis was struck on the head
suffering severe decorations and also
several broken ribs. They were TAX
en- to the hospital.

FINE PROGRAM
 OF OPERA GIVEN
Axis Members And T. c. l. Chorus Enthusiasti-
 cally Received

"An Evening of Opera" was pre- sented Thursday night at the Phillips High school auditorium by the music committee of the Axis club of which Mrs. W. J. Adams is chairman, and the T. c. I. male chorus, of which Stephen Allsop is director, the pro- gram being a splendid singing of Mereur's sacred opera, 1.-The Martyrs" :" by the T. c. l.. chorus and selections from seven popular operas, all finely executed by some of the best singers in Birmingham.
 After the progra. which was the first venture of its kind ever presented here. it was declared virtually certain that Birmingham could produce successful operas from its own talent, and it was announced by some in charge that such an undertaking would be attempted be- fore great while. The cooperation of the two organization was thought 10 be wholesome indication of a growing spirit of friendliness between the musical interests in the city, and the harmony with which the work of the two groups of singers blended was really feature of the evennig.
 Miss Stravroslsy
 Although all the artists were warm ly received, the enthusiasm with which Miss Marian Stravrosky was greeted might be called an ovation. She. as well as others also, was relieved from re- spending to encores only by the ab- solute prohibition placed upon it by the committed. owing to the length of the program. Miss Stravrosky sang the Roberto Ochi Adoro' from Meyerbeer's 'Il Diavolo" (The DeviD and in the garden scene quartet from Faust"
 Mrs. Walter Brewer, Birmingham s supreme colorature soprano, sang with a charmingly delightful execution and exactness the difficult ~Hymn to the Sun from Rimsky- -Korsakoff's 'Le Goa. dor (The Golden Cock).
 A reviewer might write paragraph about each of the artists that appeared : Mrs. May Shackelferd, Leon Cole and Arthur Thomas. who sang solos for the T. c. I. chorus and Mrs. Rebecca Jor- dan. Miss Rebecca Bazemore, Mrs. E. D. King, Mrs. J. J. Strickland, Leon Cole, J. P. Mcclure. and Lewis Pen dleton, who sang in the selections from operas. Considerations other than per sonal enthusiasm preclude this.
 Opera fragments. other than those mentioned, were 70 Mic Fernando (La Favorita) (Donizetta), My Heart Is Weary" (Nadeschal (Goring Thom. as), La Forza del Destinoy (Force oi Destiny) (Verdi), and Stride la Vampa" from "Il Trovatore' (Verdi)
