RAISING LUSITANIA
 HELD IMPOSSIBLE

LONDON, Aug. 24.-Chances are that the Lusitania, sunk off the Irish coast by a German torpedo in May, 1915, never will be raised, according to David Masters, author of a book which describes the wonders of sal wage.
 The sheer weight of the sea, the writer points out, quickly obliterates mans handiwork, and the Lusitania probably ceased to be a ship years ago. It is extremely likely that the tremen- dous pressure to which she was sub jected at the depth of 28S feet long ago crushed her flat, he says.
 The liners 30-ton safe, full af val uables, would be strong enough, one might think, to resist the pressure of the sea; but even the chances of salv- ing the safe alone from the liners strong room do not appeal to the writer as being worth the risk.
 Scores of schemes have been pro- pounded for salving the Lusitania. An American has proposed to use a sub marine which would fire torpedOes through the hull. Each torpedo would

HungLee's Violin Silenced
 By Shrieks Of Amazon T rio

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Hung Lee, who plays first violin in the Chinese opera, sat on his balcony in Doyers street, dreamily scratching the abdomen of his agonized instru- ment with his meat-saw fiddle bow. Hung Lee is true virtuoso. When seduced by his divine muse, he be- comes oblivious to everything else in the world.
 It was very late at night. The neighbors, who long ago became in- nured to Hung Lees music, lay sleeping by their fire escapes as usual.
 Hung Lee lifted his soul to ecstacy ns he reached the climax of his last selection, then snapped out of it and guessed he'd call it night. He put away the fiddle.
 But what was that? Was the thing bewitched? Hung Lees fiddle kept on playing. He listened. Howls screams, piercing walls continued to fill the air of Doyers street. Hung Lee recognized his own music. It was the virtuoso touch. But what made the fiddle keep on playing when he had rested his bow and put the thing away?
 Hung Lee looked over the edge of his balcony.

Negro Said To Have Put In Fake Ambulance
 Calls

Joe McDavid, negro, BIO Nineteenth stree, south, whom ambulance incorpo- rations charge has turned in over 100 fake ambulance calls since January l, was arrested Sunday night by Police Scouts Vaughn and McCorkle, soon aft. CT he is alleged to have turned in a call to Lige Loy, asking that three am balances be sent on a hurry call" to Gardendale.
 The negro is being held in the city jail on an investigation charge. Po- lice authorities are inclined to, believe that the negro's mind is diseased, and that the racing of the ambulances has become a mania with him. Plans are being made to have physicians look him over.
 The negro has turned in so many calls recently, it is said, that the am bulance men have learncd his voice They have made arrangements with the telephone company to list all calls which come to their places of business, and when they prove fakes are making every effort to have the culprit ar rested. N fefF 3
 When Sunday nights call came in the man on the telephone recognized the negros voice and traced the call to the Terminal station. The police were notified and the negro was cap tured before he was able to make his escape.
 Every effort will be made by the ambulance companies to have the cul- prit punished, they stated. The fake calls since the beginning of the year have become q great expense, Besides amount of danger, both for the drivers and the public, they say.

'MA' FERGUSON
 IS NOMINATED
(COntinued from page onel

Her opponents mourned. All specu- lated more or less whether Texas poli- tics will run true to form and the demo- cratic nominee will be elected in NoVem- Der without much further effort and trouble.
 Mrs. Ferguson and her husband, who conducted her campaign, regarded the results of the primary as a big step forward in their fight for vindi- cation of Mir. Ferguson, who was im- peached when he was governor. They said they were in the campaign only because of that judgment and because they sought to clear their name for themselves, their children and grand children.
 Always In Lead
 At no time during the tabulation of the vote by the Texas election bureau was Mrs. Ferguson behind, although when some of the returns from Dal- las, her opponents home, and other cities came in, her lead was cut to a small margin. She quickly made up the loss, however, and consistently held to first place.
 The question in the minds of poli- ticians today was what the Ku Klux Klan will do now. The issues in the gubernatorial race decided yes- terday was clearly Klan and anti Klan, each side making q supreme eff fort to muster maximum strength and control Texas democratic politics. The anti-Klan won. A question today was whether an independent candidate will be put in the race for governor before November and try to draw the vote of the Klan and of democrats who may not be entirely satisfied. The repub- licans declare they will make an effort to capture dissatisfied democrats.
 Study of the returns received by the Texas election bureau showed that Robertson did not receive the sup port in what were believed to be strong holds as figured by him and his sup pOrters. It was generally known that Mrs. Ferguson would have the higher vote in most of the rural districts, since her husband, James D. Ferguson, in his race for the democratic nomina- tion for United States senator against Earle B. Mayfield two years ago show ed such strength. His lead in those parts of the state was overcome by the vote where the Ku Klux Klan was strongest.
 In the Saturday primary, however, the returns showed that Mrs. Fergu- son had gained strength in the cities and much of what had been figured by Robertson as his vote, was cast for her.
 Sets Primary Record
 Interest in the primary election on Saturday was more intense than in any run-off race in Texas for many years, if not in the history of the state. Usually the vote at the sec Ond primary is less than at the elimi- primary this year about 7O2, 900 bal lots were cast. This afternoon the Texas election bureau had heard from 230 of the 252 counties in the state, and the total vote reported then was 725, ,239.

RAGLAND PLANT TO RESUJN|E}sWORK
 MONDAY MORNING
President Nicholson Has Supervised Record
 Reconstruction

The National Cement company plant at Ragland will resume operations on Monday morning. After suffering a loss estimated at three-quarters of a million dollars eight days ago, the plant is ready to produce cement Mon day. Information as to the resump- tion was given Sunday by President George Nicholson, of the company, who is the guest for the weekend of his son on South Highlands. Mir. Nicholson said that fortunately portion of the finishing end of the plant was not seriously injured by the fire, and by rushing materials to Ragland by ex- press and by working night and day, it had been possible to. be in readiness for crushing clinkers Monday.
 MT. Nicholson will return to Rag land Monday morning, and will be en- gagged with insurance adjustors during the first few days of this week. On account of the unfinished details con nected with adjustments, Mir. Nichol- son said that he preferred not to make an estimate of the damage at this time. He indicated that figures published few days ago were approximately correct, but he described the loss as livery great" rather than to place an exact figure upon the loss.
 Plan Against Repetition
 Our plans are to rebuild at Rag land 50 that such fire will never occur again." said Mir. Nicholson. "We have suffered a very great loss, but we will come through in good shape Our plans call for crushing Monday as the finishing end of the works did not come in for quite the loss as the raw materials department. Our auxi- liary plants, such as machine shops etc., were destroyed, but we can make | temporary arrangements for that work and proceed to make shipments within a few days. We will very likely com plete our adjustments Tuesday or Wed nesday, and then we would not be un- willing to announce what our losses have been."
 Pays Tribute To City Mir. Nicholson, who is president oi the Greater Kansas City Gas com. pany, and nationally known in gas and oil production circles, came to Ragland on record breaking schedule, when advised that the plant had burned eight days ago. He has been in Rag. land since arriving at Pell City, where car Whlsked nm over to ms ruined cement plant.
 Birmingham reminds me of Kan. sas City in that your growth and ex- pansion has been marvellous" Mir Nicholson said. And with the re sources here and the friendship of the steel corporation and other large in. | terests, your growth will be even mora wonderful. Our relations with the buying public have been most con. genial and interesting. The people oi Birmingham have shown true friend ship for us since the fire. I believe Birmingham will grow into a city double it's present size within a very short time"
 MT. Nicholson will return to Bir. mingham Friday from Ragland, it is understood, and return to. Kansas City few days later.

There, in the shadow of his door, way, he beheld a battle. Three broken blossoms of Chinatown were doing their best to pull the remain ing petals off one another, creaming, shrieking and bowling in q beautiful concert. One of them had a pair of shears and was slashing the other two, who finally fell into the little red gutter and lay there moaning like the low notes of Hung Lees fiddle.
 "POleece," yelled Hung Lee, and Patrolman Fred Koch came running from one of the dark arcades which tunnel through the architecture of Chinatown.
 Koch picked up the fallen pair and sent them to a hospital. Then he arrested Mary Mccormack. a defiant little beauty of q, for yielding the shears.
 It seems that some Chinese shiek of the modern type had been waver- ing between the three young women and that they had picked Hung Lees doorway as the place to discuss the matter because their cries could not be told from Hung Lees music.
 Hung Lees artistic pride has been mortally wounded. He has decided to buy a saxophone.

NONAAg0A0O0 AAVaA A 48O OACI day, when Birgningham endured its hottest weather in g years.
 Only one casualty was reported dur ind the day, and that report was un- confirmed. It dealt with the death of a man who persisted in telling of his Siberian adventures during the late World war.
 Phoenix Had 1O6
 Weather data, gathered from all over the country, indicated that the entire United States Sunday was panting in the grasp of the same heat wave that has beseiged Birmingham during the past four days. Phoenix, Ariz., proud ly brandishes a mark of 106, and claims that as a record. Fort Worth and Oklahoma City were silenced by the claim, although each had offered 104 for consideration. a-s
 Lesser figures, scarcely worthy of mention were Shreveport, 102; Pales- tine, Tex, 102; Sheridan, Wyo., 102, and any number of insignificant 100's.
 Mobile had its troubles, too, swelter- ing beneath a maximum temperature of 100. Down in Montgomery, the weather bordered on the chilly rating, as only 96 was reached.
 Los Angeles, the weather was very pleasant, the highest temperature be- ing only 70. Chicago natives retained , their overcOats, with the mercury reaching only "A. Even a railroad press agent is hard to suppress, it would seem.
 Very little rain fell over the United States and the general deduction would seem to be that the entire United States is having a warm time, in these days of ambition fired mercury and politicians.

LAFOLLETTEOA WILL MEET TODAY
Southern Headquarters May Be Placed At
 Birmingham

Every effort will be made to have Birmingham named southern head quarters for the La Toilette campaign in the south. Such is the information gathered from members of the Associa- ton for Progressive Political Action here. Announcement has been made from the national committee at Wash ington that the Choice lies between Birmingham and Atlanta, and mem- bers of the La Toilette party here are anxious to win the appointment for Birmingham.
 La Toilette cohorts have only re- gently organized in Birmingham, but arrangements have already been com pleted for a state convention here. The session win be held at the United Tenn pie Monday morning, A, Linwood Hale, Jefferson county chairman, an- nounced Saturday.
 Mir. Hale expects good membership at the meeting Monday morning. The La Toilette Wheeler club" organized here one week ago, fhas more than tripled in size, according to Mir. Hale, and additional. supporters of the La Fo1lette cause are expected to step forward and attend the convention on Monday. l
 Due to the fact that La Toilette forces have taken immediate action in Birmingham, and are enthusiastically pushing the drive in Jefferson county, party leaders here are hopeful that the southern headquarters can be won for Birmingham,
 to be seriously disturbed. The western democrats are driving at him to show himself to the farmers who, they assure him, are just now in a state of inde- cision politically and can be switched from their expected bolt to La Toilette, which represents the easiest step for a protest vote, to democratic allegiance for they can be made to understand that their advantage lies that way.
 The western Congressmen in particu- lar, with the belief that the physical presence of Davis will help them in their own struggles have already be- gun to impress on the candidate that his coming to. the farmers directly will be immensely more effective than the circulation of the agricultural plank in the platform, and that he need go no further than the platform does.
