MONEY RAISED
FOR BURIAL
OF DEAD
CITY OF BIRMINGHAM GIVES
SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS
TO DEFRAY FUNERALS OF NE
GROES KILLED IN PANIC.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Sept. 23.-There
were but few new developments yesterday
in the panic of Friday night at the Shi-
loh Baptist church, colored. where over
one hundred negroes were killed.
1t seems almost impossible to ascertain
accurately just how many lives were lost.
The number appears now to be not less
than 104. and may yet reach 106. A con-
flict arises from the fact that a number of
bodies were removed from undertaking
shop to another and some of them were
taken to as many as three undertaking es-
Establishments at different times. and in
more than one case a corpse was mistak-
en- for another person than the correct
one.
No additional deaths were reported yes
terday. Efortss now are being direct
ed chiefly at relief measures. The rela-
tives Of a number of the victims were
without sufficient means to bury their
dead and this morning a relief committee
of four prominent colored citizens, with
DR.. w. r. Pettiford, president of local
negro bank as chairman, was organized
to dispurse relief funds which have been
raised by the Birmingham News and the
white churches. Donations, almost entire
ly from white citizens, amount to about
500 so far, and this fund is being used TO
bury such dead as have not been buried
from lack Of means. A number of addi-
tional funerals occurred yesterday.
NEGRO CONVENTION
ADJOURNED AT NOON
BIRMINGHAM, Sept. 23.-The national
Negro Baptist convention held it's final
session yesterday and adjourned at
noon to meet d year hence in Philadel-
phia. The morning session was occu-
pied chiefly with speeches on the growth
and progress of the church. Among those
who spoke were DR.. Wells of the National
Baptist publishing board; DR.. John Fl.
Frank of Louisville and DR.. William
SEWER of Nashville.
All the speakers touched upon the panic
of Friday night in which over a hun
bred lives were lost and were loud in
their praise of the manner in which the
white citizens have come to the relief of
the distressed.
