Miami will have a Fashion week some time during November if plans of the Mercantile bureau t. of the Chamber of Commerce--do not go astray.

The plan was discussed at yesterday's meeting of the bureau, and John Burdine, E. Douglas and Roddy Burdine were appointed tin a committee to investigate th plan. It is the idea to have a full week's display of fashions when Miami purchasers would be given a display of wearing apparel that would fairly -make their pop out. The committee will report back at the next meeting of the hureaii when some definite action will be make it almost impossible for the men to give their attention to the company's property. The railway company has been in' the habit of watching storm warnings ciosely, and.

in cases of emergency, a train has been sent along the line lo gather up tiio: who want to come to Miami until the- worst is over. Hunts Seek Safe Refuge As soon as storm warnings were displayed in the city and published in The Metropolis last evening, and while the wind was sending a near-gale from the Atlantic into Miami, the owners of small craft in the bay got busy moving from the open waters into the safe harbor afforded by the Miami river. From all along the bay front they came in procession, all kinds of craft, hurrying to safety. Boats from as far up1 as Lemon City- were seen scurrying along. Some under gasoline power, and others with sails spread, while occasionally a more sedate housV-boat under tow floated along toward the mouth of the river and was soon beyond the reach of waves.

By midnight the bay front was- practically cleared of all email boats, the fishermen had put their bouses in as CHRISTIAN" SCIENCE SOCIETV Services are held at 324 Thirteenth street as follows: Sunday morning service at 11 o'clock.

Neither had ever made the trip before, but state that they had no difficulty in making: their way, having as a chart a small map.

Rev. Mr. Ley is anxious to make a complete report of the need of the- Okeechobee section, and made the trip primarily for the purpose of circling the lake to discover the neighborhoods in need of religious services. Of Miami, Rev. Mr.

Ley has much to say concerning the marvelous growth of the section and the manifold improvements in the several years since he lived here. "Fort Myers in the west corresponds with Miami in the east, and' I that when the two cities are connected by the Tamiami trail that their growth will be even more marvelous," he said. Paitl Ley reports an excellent time with former school mates, whom he knew' several years ago. According to the doctor, it was at Paul's suggestion that he came on to Miami. Thy intend to remain In Miami until Tuesday, when they will begin their return trip.

Officials of the railroad at those of the old residents of the keys who understand the danger, especially to women and children, during these storms, warned the people of the weather prospects early" yesterday evening, although some of theii stated that they came away with not more than an hour's notice. The refugees are scattered about the city at the various hotels and boarding houses. At the time the train left the keys coming north toward Miami the hurricane had not become manifest in any degree of strength, although high wind was blowing.

J. chilaren away upon the approach of a storm, or even if one is only known to be headed in that direction, is customary since some of the hurricanes years ago when lives were lost on the keys. It has been the practice of the railway company, Sn its extension work, in recent years, to require the wives and children of employees to leave the danger zone during the hurricane season whether there are storm indications or not. his is because the houses in which they live are temporarily constructed, ot strong, and the confusion during a hard storm incident to looking after women and children would FIRST CHRISTIAN CHVRCH Corner Twelfth street and Avenue Ira E.

owner of nine houses in the forbidden district, stated this morning that he had no iuea where the trouble Mr. Gritfin stated that for the lust three or four nights some white men had been visiting the section in an automobile, and one of his best" tenants was requested to move. This tenant who worked for a family in Highland moved to her employeis' home. Mr. Griffin had one of he notes which had been given his tenants.

It reads as: follows: "Ave. .1 and 4th st. is the color line. No niggers caa live in this block. Move out by Monday night or you wjll be blown out.

2 '10 white men." At the top of the note, as with all the others, is a rudely fashioned skull and cross bones. One, of the notes had a rough drawing of a corpse at the top. "I have six lots in colored town with nine houses," said Mr. Griffin. "All of the tenants were good ones at I took particularly pains to get the better class of tenants because the property was close to white people.

Now my houses ar empty. The tenants are moving out and I can't get others. The property is valueless witli the negroes frightened the way they are. Mr Griffin took the matter np with Chief Whitman who promised him protection and an effort will be made to have the negroes who have not moved out, remain. However investigation this morning showed that most of the houses were vacant, and the negroes were leaving as fast as they could pack, their goods.

About forty families live in the district forbidden by the masked visitors. Unfair Competition Act Endorsed by Merchants Passage of the Stevens bill by the United States congress was favored at a meeting of the mercantile bu-ureau of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday. The Stevens bill provides for a remedy for unfair competition of the big monopolies against the independent merchants of the country. Congressman Frank Clerk will be communicated with and his aid asked in helping the measure along in the house. The unfair competition spoken of by the merchants hinges' on the act of certain merchants to advertise standard priced goods at cut prices in order to get crowds into stores when inferior goods would be sold at high prices.

It is the idea of the Stevens bill to keep manufacturers from -asking higher prices for their goods, than they are really Railway Shops Addition Is the Best Investment In Miami at This Time and this assertion is based on facts that can not be disputed. It is backed by the hundreds of satisfied owners of lots in Railway Shops Addition.
