Meanwhile, Congress is unable to

Muscle Shoals except for the tenn

company buys as much-or as little

transmission lines.
City Can't Buy Power
Meanwhile, the cnterprising little
city of Muscle Shoals, Ala, is try

the claim that the government could
not economically sell on a small
scale.
Meanwhile, under the 3O-day con-
tract arrangement, nobody is willing
to invest in expensive transmission
lines to Muscle Shoals; also, the
franchiseS in nearby cities are al

company or companies affiliated
with it.
Meanwhile, the cities of Florence,

hincd to make the elevator, valued at
$4,000, a total loss in one hour and
half.
The fire started on the outside
corner OF the building at 1:3O y. M,
probably, from sparks from a pass

Schulcr, manager Of the elevator
Flames Spread Quickly
Within few minutes the flames
had spread to the inside, and all ef-
forts Of the local fire department
and citizens with fire extinguishers
were futile.
Grain in the elevator, which had
a capacity Of GO,0OO bushels. was
valued at $4,000. and the building
was valued at $4,000. The grain is
covered By blanket insurance pol
icy, Schulcr said, while the building
is covered by policy for $14,50O.
Fire Fighters Helpless
Tiremen. unable to get inside the
building due to crashing timbers,
flying embers and intense smoke
were forced to stand helplessly
watching the flames eat their way
into the heart Of the big structure.
On several occasions the fire
fighters dashed into the building in
IN effort to sec some method that
could be used in checking the blaze,
but they were forced out within a
few seconds.
Plans of directors of the elevator
regarding rebuilding the structure
are not complete. Schuler said, but
it is assumed that they will either
purchase a building and remodel it
into an elevator or raise new
structure. They have discontinued
buying grain for a few days, as no
suitable place can be found ia
store it.

SHIP TRAGEDY
CAUSE IN DARK
AFTER INQUIRY
How Tons of Water Got Into
Vestris Is Mystery Despite
Testimony

New York, Nov. 22.-(F-With
the federal inquiry into the sinking
of the Vestris in it's seventh day to-
day, officials said that they still were
in the dark as to what caused the
loss of-the liner.
''How thousand tons or more of
sea water got into the ship beyond
what was pumped out is mystery
still to US, despite all this testi-
mony,", said Capt. J. A. Jessup,
American nautical adviser at the
inquiry. "The complete saturation
Of the coal bunkers is the explana-
ton of the loss of the ship, but the
court has been unable to learn how
such quantity Of water got in
there. The various leaks described
by the chief engineer and others do
not give us the key"
United States Attorney Charles
II. Tuttlc concurrcd in this view,
saying:
TO Probe Further
ut still remains unexplainable.
We shall have to go further, | am
convinced, into the leaks through
the rows of portfolios on the STAR
board side. We had testimony that
water fountained in through them.
We had evidence also that the need
for the repair of these ports had
been reported in writing. We have
not learned that the repairs ever
were made by the line"
AS the inquiry before United
States Commissioner O'Neill, Cap
tain Jessup and Captain McConkey,
the nautical adviser appointed by
the British government, proceeded
through it's sixth day. the investi-
gators of the United States steam
boat inspection also questioned pas
sengers, inspectors and members Of
the crew.
Something Gave Way
John j. Short, surveyor for Lloyd's
Of London, the maritime insurance
agency that handled the Vestris ac-
count, testified before the steamboat
inspectors inquiry that he believed
something must have given way.
The listing of the ship should not
have caused her to founder"
In his inspection of the ship last
August, he said, he found her "in
perfect condition"
In contrast to the testimony of
several Of the passengers that the
lifeboats were lcaky and in poor
repair, the four officers Of the
American Shipper, the boat which
rescued over 100 Of the passengers
and crew. testified that the boats
from which they took survivors ap-
pearcd to be in excellent condition.

AT THE MOVIES
ELTINGE THEATRE

All the power, the pathos and the
dramatic events that have made
railroad building and railroad opera
tion in out Of the way places one of
the most colorful episodes in the
progress of this country. is wildly
depicted in "The Crash," featuring
Milton Sills with Thelma Todd at
the Eltingc for Friday and Satur-
day. AS the 'hard- boiled" leader of
a tough wrecking crew, stationed in
the High Sierra Mountains, Stills
lends portrayal that compares
with the seasons best.
The picture was adapted from
Frank L. Packard's magazine story,
"The Wrecking Boss," and tells
how the soubrette Of struggling
burlesque troupe marries and tries
to make home for the boss Of the
wrecking crew. They have nothing
in common except their love for each
other. The girl has been used to the
free and easy ways of the travelling
show. The man knows nothing of
women except what he learned as a
boy. A wonderful situation and
every advantage of it has been taken
in unfolding the picture.
AT THE CAPITOL.
You'll enjoy the picture at the
Capitol theatre for tonight anil
Thursday. It is one of those delight
full comedies in which laugh follows
laugh in such rapid succession that
you find yourself holding onto your
sides. THAT Certain Thing" is a
sure cure for the blues.
This is picture which will please
the children, to say nothing Of those
grown-up youngsters who like the
excuse of taking little Johnny to the
pictures. 1t is a clean, wholesome
production, effervescing with wit
and humor. The congestion of
cosmopolitan district assumes new
proportions as fiction background,
and the population has new role
in this Columbia production.
Viola Dana, as Molly, is all that
can be expected of a daughter Of the
poor. She is just the right type for
role of this sort.
Ralph Graves appears as the idle
son of wealthy chain restaurant
owner, who thinks more Of pleasure
than of learning business. But when
he matches his wits with his father
he has the old man on the retreat.
Frank Capra is responsible for the
direction, and has introduced many
novel situations into the action.
These little by-plays are big laugh
producers. We can heartily recon-
mend "That Certain Thing"
