 Birmingham, Ala, Oct. 24.-Presi- dent Roosevelt concluded a strenuous day in Alabama by a two hours visit to Birmingham. where his reception, in keeping with those given him at Montgomery and Tuskegee, was hearty and soul-stirring. His day began at 2 o'clock, when the special train left Montgomery for Tuskegee. Visits to the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute, and to the Methodist college, were crowded into a little less than two hours, and the noon hour had just arrived when the executive stepped from his car in Montgomery. Here he spoke to a great throng under the shad- ow of the Confederacy's first capitol. and was on his way again sharply at 2 o'clock.
