RESCUED FROM RUINS
AFTER BEING BURIED
THIRTY-SEVEN HOURS
St. Louis. Mo., March 19.—
Buried for thirty-seven hours in
the ruins of the St. Louis Seed
company's building, Thomas
Burke was rescued early today
and in apparently not a serious
condition.
At the hospital he collapsed and
died several hours later.
The building was demolished
the
Tuesday by a falling wall of
burned Missouri Athletic Club.
Rescuers this morning heard
Burke’s cries for water. Eighty men,
after a half hour’s work, finally lo
cated him, pinioned under a section
of flooring. Another body was found
near him, bringing the total dead
from the seed company’s building col
lapse to six.
PROFESSOR READE CALLS
ATTENTION TO SPLENDID
EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS
Professor J. M. Reade has contrib
uted the following concerning the
splendid exhibition of oil paintings
now ;:he library of the University
of Georgia and which the public is
earnestly urged to inspect. Professor
Reade says:
“The opportunity to see good paint
ings without going away from home
does not come every day. Still less
often is the opportunity to see the
pictures repeatedly. But most unus
ual is a display of such varied char
acters, and therefore, high educational
value. Exquisite reproductions of
beautiful spots and moments in nat
ural landscape. Very realistic, va
rious subjects,, portraits, decorative
effects, landscapes, revealing some
thing of the artists themselves In tne
choice or elimination of details and
the ideas more or less imperfectly
realized. This is a vast opportunity
to learn to understand pictures.
“The exhibition is open to all. The
attendance of everyone is needed. This
is an opportunity for you who are
proud of your local patriotism—the
opportunity for you who talk of boost
ing Athens. There is something else
in life besides money-getting and par-
time pleasures.”

I As the UxaMtMora-are receiving
numerous complaints from the proper

property; and/he method of taking
an average increase and adding it to
property values is seen to be errone
ous, it was decided last night at the
meeting of council* to adopt a plan
submitted by Mayor Dorsey. His plan
is to have an expert, attach on actual
markbt value to every piece of prop
erty in the city. This market value
will then be given to the tax assessors
as a basis for their work.
This plan will be carried into effect
next year. The basis for valuing
property will be changed from 60 per
cent to its market value, and the tax
rate will be lowered accordingly.
This is a more modern method than
the one now employed, and is being
used by all progressive cities.

RESULT OF TORREON BATTLE
WILL HAVE BEARING ON THE
MEXICAN PEACE PROPOSITION
INITIAL GUN
(By Associated Press.)
Washington,/). C., March 19.—The
officials today awaited official advices
regarding a repof-t that the Mexican
foreign minister has gone to Vera
flruz to re-open parleys w|th tHe
United States through John Lind.
It was understood that this govern
ment is willing to listen to any fur
ther proposals for a peaceful settle
ment. The outcome ojf the fighting
about Torreon is expected to have an
important bearing on the situation. In
the event of rebel reverses, it was ru
mored that Carranza and Huerta will
be willing to accept a compromise
candidate for the presidency. There
is no official confirmation of this.
The Seventeenth infantry, from At
lanta, and four companies of the
Ninth infantry, from Little Rock, left
to join the border patrol today. Two
more battallions of the Ninth infantry
will leave Fort-Thomas, Ky., late to
day.
importance to the Eta chapter of Chi
Phi, litre at the Unhrersity^The mat
ter of a chapter house is tq be taken
up, with the end in view of utilizing
the old Cobb Lampkin home on Lump
kin street, now owned by the associa
tion, for chapter house purposes. The
property was recently purchased by
the association as an investment, but
on account of the convenience of the
location it has been thought best to
use the home for a chapter house. In
case this is done the house will be re
modeled along chapter house lines and
improvements made. The men will
not move in until next September, be
ing for the present established on
Prince avenue.
The house is ideally located for a
chapter house, being just across the
street from the heart of the campus,
and is situated on a beautiful lot. It
is thought that in time other fraterni
ties will either move to Lumpkin
street or to tfie campus.

The managers of the Cleveland ball
club were much put out this morning
when they learned that the west bound
Seaboard, due here at 7:05 a. m. was
five hours late. The train was being
held up by the wreck of a freight
train, and it seemed for a time that
the team would have to remain in Ath
ens until this train arrived, which
would mean that they would arrive In
Atlanta today, too late to play their
exhibition game with the team of that
city. I
However a special train was rigged
up consisting of a Pullman and a day
coach for the players and a box car
for the baggage. In this manner the
team left for Atlanta this morning
about 11 o’clock. •
Consider how few of the Atlanta
people passing over the railway via
ducts and seeing this train would
think for a moment that it contained
the players of the great Cleveland
team, of the American league.
The team to be sure to avoid such
travel will most probably come back
on the Southern next Sunday after
noon.
