The deceased had many friends in Montxomery. He was true type of rentIeman and man of no ordinary attainments. It is supposed that he had only recently begun work for the Southern oil Company. It is thought that he was member of the FraternaI Order of Eagles.
 |. W. Black. the local manager of the Southern oil Company. was noti- fled of the death of Mir. Morgan and, although he had not personally known the deceased, he was greatly shocked.
 Mir. Black took charge of the re- mains and had them prepared for burial by a local undertaken. He com fmunicated with relatives of the de- ceased in Augusta. Ga. and the re- mains were shipped to Augusta at i:st o'clock yesterday afternoon over ths Atlanta and West Point Railroad. The funeral will take place there from th' residence of an aunt of Mir. Morgan.
 Nothing was found on the person o in the effects of MT. Morgan to indi cate that he was a member of an! fraternal. order except the Eagles. oi his coat, however, was an emblem which closely resembled college fra ternity pin.

FEATURES OF VALUABLE WORK
 OF WEATHER BUREAU ARE SHOWN

Probably no work of the govern ment is of more direct. continuous and vital interest to the great industries of the country than that of the Wealth. CT Bureau. One of Its warnings has been known to save millions of dollars worth of shipping along the Atlantic coast and its flood and frost warning services are of incalculable value. In fact, there Is hardly any business or industry that Is not more or less af- fected by serious weather changes, the public comfort and utilities depending in great measure on the weather fore casts and warnings.
 Chief Willis L. Moore In his annual report recently issued summarizes the work of the Bureau under ten years of his administration. The deveiop- ment of the service In this time is indeed creditable. In his opinion, there is no part of the government service in which a rigid discipline ts more necessary to it's well being than in the Weather Bureau. which has d. rectiy to do with, the saving or life and property. He says that the public is entitled to kn " that 1t is only by the maintenance of high stand of offi- ciaI integrity that the percentage of error in weather forecasting is reduced to and kept at low figure.
 His report shows that while the AVeTAk0 per aUnufH iHCFCdSG AtA lk4c SC1t of the weather service during the past ten years was but little over four p0' cent, the daily distribution of weather reports has increased from 22,5s2 to 622,SSo.
 The frequently expressed opinions of persons who represent the impor- tant interests. that the Weather Bu- reau was created to serve, show that 1t has made such progress in the fe- suits accomplished for the benefit of the farmer, the mAriner. the shipper, the manufacturer and the seeker after health or pleasure. that there is no weather service in the world compar- able with 1t, It has received the com mendations of citizens of this country as we'll as the encomiums of scientists both at home and abroad, many of whom come to this country to study It's organization. Climatic statistics for the various States are collected from nearly 4,O00 cooperative observ- CTS using standard instruments, and printed in the form of monthly State bulletins so that the climate of one region can be readily compared with that of another.
 It has extended it's network of sta. tions around the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, so that no de- structive tropical storm has in years approached our seaboard without warm ing.
 Under the able management of the present Chief of the Bureau the study of meteorology in educational institu- tions has been encouraged by allowing It's scientists. outside of their official duties to deliver courses of lectures to students.
 In order to bring the science of meteorology up to the highest state of development, as a working basis for the possible development of future

EXPIRED AT A HOTEL
DEATH CAME SUDDENLY TO l.. D.
 MORGAN.
He was . Popular Travelling salesman Of Savannah, Ga, Who Had Wide Acquafntance In
 Alabama.

Louis D. Morgan, a travelling sales man of Savannah. Ga, died suddenly of acute gastritis early yesterday morn- ing in his room in the annex of the New Mabson Hotel on Montgomery street.
 MT. Morgan was travelling for the Savannah branch of the Southern Cot ton oil Company and he had just been transferred to this territory on Decem- Der 3, arriving here on December 5. He worked in and out of Montgomery until December II, when he returned to the city and remained here contin- uously until his unexpected death.
 He had been complaining for three or four days but never did he suspect that there was any apprehension of a serious nature until Il o'clock Satur- day night when he was taken violently vices of negro bell boy at the hotel and quickly sent the boy to Ed Hin- derer. the night clerk of the hotel, asking that his physician be sum- moned. MT. Hinderer called up the residence of the physician by telephone but was informed that the physician was not at home. He at once notified MT. Morgan, who was then suffering such severe pain, that 1t was necessary to secure the first physicia that could be found.
 The physician succeeded in alleviat- ing the pain soon after arriving and at 4 o'clock yesterday morning, the pa- tient was resting so easy that the physician thought he might be left.
 About 6:45 o'clock a. m., Mir. Morgan underwent the relapse which resulted in his death. The patient was seized again with violent pains In the stom- ach and at once dispatched tho bell boy for MT Hinderer. Running from the office of the hotel. the night clerk there found MT. Morgan in a critical condition. He realized that something must be done and as quickly as he had ran to the room, he returned to the hotel office and telephoned for phy- siean. When MT. Hinderer returned to the room about 7;30 o'clock he found life extinct in the body of Mir. Mor- gan.
 The patient had breathed his last be- fore medical aid could be secured.
 On the arrival of a physician, death was pronounced to have been due to acute gastritis.
 Mir Morgan was a man of promi- nent Georgia family. His home was in Ga, where he stood high in social and business circles. He was thirty years old and unmarried. He IS survived by his mother who lives in Boston, a brother, Casey Morgan, who is a lieutenant commander In the Unt- tde States Navy. and another younger brother who is a travelling salesman.

lies and friends, were .ntroducsu ro
 Mir. and Mrs. Davis.
 Presiaent !. J. Sullivan presided and
 made the entire gathering feel at home
 by his easy manner and happy express
 sions. He told of the object of the
 visit of Mir. Davis to the South, in or
 der to stimulate interest in the order,
 and spoke in glowing terms of the growth, the principles and the mem-
 bership of the order
 He introduced Mrs. Davis. who spoke
 few words greeting to the audi ence.
 Past Worth President R. Tyler Good wyn in his usual eioquence introduced Mir. Davis. The Grand President was heartily arpiauded as he rose. He spoke of the warmth of the hos pitality that had been extended him
 during his Southern trip and told of the manner in which Tyler Goodwin and Jerry Fountain of 3essemer had aided him in his race for the worthy presidency. He said that he had at- ready appointed Mir. Fountain, state organiser. The Eagles all appiauded at this point and Mir. Fountain who was present, bowed his acknowledge ments. He declared thar at the proper time, he would apoint Mir. Goodwin. chairman of the Finance Committee, the most important committee of the Grand Aerie.
 He then entered into lengthy but highly thoughtful and eloquent re- sume of the principles and practice of the order and concluded in an elo- quent appeal for better life and 2 more strict attention to those princi- pies.
 The assemblage then recessed and dainty refreshments were served. when the meeting was again called to order, vice-President Berto Johnson and State Organizer Fountain told of

seasonal forecasts, and with the direct
 view of improving the present fore casts for short periods of time, a re- search observatory has been estab~ iished at Mount Weather. Virginia. In order to prosecute the researches con- templated at this observatory a spe- cialIy adapted plant has been estab~ lished for atmospheric investigation. By means of balloons and kites. the
 temperature. moisture and movements
 of the air at great heights will be
 ascertained. The ahsorption of solar ured and the dissipation of solar light and heat will be determined. The spN-
 cial analysis of the sunbeam will bs carried out and the radio-actfvity, or ionization of the air determined. This research laboratory Is expected to do as much for the sciene of meteorology and the future improvement of the ser vice as the service has already done during the past thirty-five years for the material interests of the United States.
 Tn fact the entire report of Chief Moore is not only most creditable to his ten grs administration of the
 Weather 3areau. but shows that the. country as a whole has just cause t0 be proud of it's weather service.
 The people of Alabama have had SO many and repeated instances of the value of the work of the Weather Bu- reau in this State in recent years, that lit Is unnecessary to comment in this
 direction. Ten years ago the forecasts were received by but few persons ins this State. Now the daily weather forecasts are distributed to thousands of addresses in Alabama and are as closely consulted in the daily affairs of business as are the commercial or the market report
