However, despite the fact that
the principles Of life safety from

now that any thought is being given

There was no roaring from

whined like lost kittens.
Circus folks were unable to
explain the menagerie's reac-

killed when flames swept
through the big-tOp.
Gargantua's screams turned
into wailing that echoed across
the Ringing Brothers Barnum
and Bailey Circus grounds
where death SCARED the
ground.
The animals cages were lined
up In an oval around the ruins
Of the "Greatest Show ON

blocked off so that they could
not see the charred center

was the cage for the animal

flames shot up to the top like shvers
Of lightning.
When I noticed the panic among
the children, tried to get some OF

were seized with panic.
I was among the lucky. I hoped

Of the people as I could and then

''As soon as the fire started" he
said. "some Of them jumped to the

myself. None of us was hurt"

and possibly a fourth. st. Paul is
one and Monrovia, the. capital, is
another. The Firestone Tire and
Rubber company, which holds GER
tain interests in Liberia, would pre-
fer TO see the harbor built at or
near Marshall as il would afford
the company easier shipping accom-
mediation for its product.
While the source OF this infor-
nation was not disposed TO hazard
a guess at the ultimate cost, posi-
bly, because actual construction con-
tracts have yet 10 be let through

would exceed three millions Of
dollars.
About 1897 Dutch company had
sought the privilege of building a
harbor in Liberia as an outlet for
iron ore deposits which il had
planned 10 exploit. This company
then estimated that the project
would run up to about three million
dollars, which the state department
source considered quite sufficient"
Ultimately the Liberian govern
ment refused to 60 alongswith the
Dutch company, il is understood,
believing that Dutch interests were
too closely bound to those of Ger
many. While Germany. at fhe time
was Liberals largest customer, the
latter government did not deem II
advisable to permit too great an

The idea Of a harbor, however,
remained alive in the thoughts OF
the Barclay administration. Presi-
dent Roosevelt, it is learned, was
probably mindful OF this when he
visited the little republic follow
ing the historic Cssablanca confer
ences, for ii was he who initiated
the proposal The belief now is that
President Barclay accepted the
Roosevelt invitation to come here
in the hopes that a deal might be
worked out for the construction Of
the harbor. tr
Work on the project will begin

avenue of employment to local
