Fair and Freezing Weather Expected
 This Morning.
 Montgomery was visited by quite se- were wind. rain, and thunderstorm yes terday morning between { o'clock and 6. The wind registered a velocity of trirty- four miles per hour. and .49 inch of rain fell in about an hour.
 No damage worthy of note was done here. but the wind was more violent over the northern portions of the State. At Birmingham a wind velocity of 5c miles per hour was recorded and 1.04 inches of rain fall. At Gadsden. tho rainfall was 2.04 inches. and Selma re- ports 1.s0 inches.
 The rainfall was heavy over the entire drainage area of the Coosa and Alabama rivers. starting a steady rise in those streams, though the rise is not expected to give any dangerous stages. owing to previous low water.
 The rain and high wind accompanied the movement of a decided storm-eddy, which developed in middle Texas Thurs day, swept eastward over the Gulf States yesterday morning, and had moved to the Lower Lake region by yesterday forenoon.
 Following the storm movement which caused nearly summer-like temperature in the Southeast and East Is an area of cold moving in from the West. which, according to the Weather Bureau bulle- tins, and warnings, will give freezing weather over this section by this morn- ing, with about freezing temperatures to the Gulf coast and Northern Florida.

 Mir. Bryan declared there Is greater dans. ger from corporations which defy the law than from labor unions.s kr. Beck in his speech said:
 ''If do not misread history. the pros perity of the Dutch people was founded upon principle which is vitaliy essential to the progress and happiness of any petS- pie. and that is the unalienable right ol every man to work for whom he pleaaeH. and at what wage he pleases and to on joy freely the fruits of his toll. Thia principle is in some need of. vindIcatiOn| in this country and at this hour Man was not brought into the world to work It is only his burden. It is right an6 any form of social tyranny which con- travenes this right is infinitely mischiev~ ous.

 fortunate Warren.
 Birmingham. Jan. 22.-(Special)--J. Alt meyer of Knoxville. travelling agent for the Morgan-Lyons Vinegar Company of Louisville, and a companion of A. H. Warren at the time of the disaster, was the only one in the cyclone who came to Birmingham on the train this after noon. After being assisted to room in the Morris Hotel, and while physi- elan was coming to dress few slight wounds. he gave the following descrip- ton of the affair:
 ''Mr Warren and left Eutaw yester- day afternoon by local freight for Mound vile, arriving there about 1920 o'clock. We put up at the hotel nearest the sta tion. The wind was then blowing very hard and the rain was falling in tor rents. Tn our bed room. which we shared, Mir. warren's bed was on the southern exposure. my bed being to the opposite.
 At 1928 o'clock, as well as I can judge, I was suddenly thrown out into the air. and opened my eyes to see nothing but the black clouds overhead and to feel the rain beating in my face. The cy- clone had struck on the southern side. where Warren was lying. called to him but heard nothing but the groans of people about me. Warren gave no an- swer. One voice kept saying. For Gods sake come and help me- but I was pin- toned down and too bruised to move. Tn the little light could see that every thing in sight was fiat with the ground. while near me several persons were ly- ing. some of them dead and the others screaming out in pain. It was awful. I thought the end of the world had come. Finally an old negro came to my aid and helped me to the nearest house left standing. one hundred yards away. Here I was put to bed. This morning some one gave me some clothes and left for Birmingham. never heard from Warren until this morning at 1 o'clock when they told me he was dead. I never saw him after the cyclone struck the house.
 "I cannot tell how many houses were torn down, nor can I give you the name of any person. as I was a stranger in the town. It looked to me that a patch about 200 yards wide had been swept through the place, and that practically every important house in the town was demolished. heard the number of killed was 23, six of them being white. and the rest negroes.
 Tt was the most horrible sight ever saw. There was tobacco man killed. but I don't remember his name. How any of us who are alive ever got out of that forest of debris, I don't know Mir. Altmeyers injuries are not serious. He was suffering more from the shock than anything else. though there were several bruises on his head and chest

 His aaction cused some annoyance and Justice Harlan frankly remouxtrated with him. insisting on the right of the members of the Supreme court. in ac- cordancs with custom. to head the line. Friends of the members Of the court maintained that. as the reception was to the judiciary, they should preeide ali others in the line. The President knew nothing about the incident. At A#
