Corey Party Bpoyant
 After Day @ Hard Work

work in the heat of the day and would have turned into bed at ordinary bed time. But not so with these chipper men of affairs. Their manner seemed to say, "The night is yet young!' They spun up Twentieth street and along Highland ave- nue, reveling in the balmy air. It was sometime past midnight when they sought their beds at the Hillman.
 In their hours of relaxation members of the Corey party indulge in jokes and pranks on one another. W. P. Palmer, president of the American Steel and Wire, is man of infinite jest; and W. B. Dick son, second vice president of the United States Steel corporation, is droll and wag- gish, and when he tells a joke his mien is solemn and parson-lil1e. Uncle Joe But Ter is very serious minded person when discoursng on the subject of maintain- ing iron prices or when analysing Ohio politics. but he is never too much ab sorbed to stop and tell joke or listen to one.
 MT. Corey is man of gentle humor, and is something of a tease. Taken all in al the United States Steel party is made up of a jolly bunch, who after work ing 10 or 12 hours day, have great flow of soul and all sorts of innocent fun when nightfall comes.
 MT. Corey is delighted with Birmingham and the Birmingham district He said he had no definite inspection programme for today. A large dinner party will be given by MT, Crawford at the Country club tonight
 The visitors will return north sometime tomorrow.
 The press agent of the party gave out the following bulletin yesterday evening:
 "A very sad accident occurred today to MT. D. c. Kerr. one of the party of Steel corporation officials. MT. Kerr, who brides himself on his horsemanshp, was riding a spirited mount in the woods near the Giles ore mine when the horse sud- denly took fright and ran away, throwing MT. Kerr over fence and at the feet of a lady who was nursing an infant. MT. James G. Butler the noted Ohio poll tician, who was also a member of the party hastened to his rescue, and by his timely aid averted more serious con- sequences MT. Kerr is now confined to his room at the Hotel Hillman.'

FINE SHOWING BY MILITARY COMPANIES Nearly 300 Men Appeared for
 Monthly Muster
CROWD DRAWN TO SCENE
All Companies Showed Up In Excellent State, and Company A of Wood lawn Attracted Special At-
 tention for Efficiency.

The showing of the Jefferson county companies of the Alabama National Guard in the general battalion muster last night exceeded all anticipations. The great number of the members of the military which turned out was unexpected and the perfection of the drills stands highly to the credit of the companies represent- ed. There were present nearly 300 men, representing six companies, and had it not been for the fact that the men have been worked so regularly and so hard in prepa- ration for the recent inspection this num- Der would have probably been swelled by 100 men,
 By 9 o'clock Third avenue was crowded to overflowing, and when the six com panies, formed into two battalions, ap- peared on dress parade, the streets re- sounded with applause. The battalIons, headed by Memolis band, left the city hall at g o'clock. marched up Nineteenth street to Fifth avenue. down Fifth avenue to Twentieth down Twentieth street to First avenue, down First avenue to Nine- teenth street up Nineteenth street and Second avenue to Twentieth street and
 
 was held under the electrip promenade. The march through the streets attracted great crowd to Third avenue.
 The companies represented were Con- pany A of Woodlawn, Capt. J. B. Scully; Company K, Capt. R. B. Mabry: Company G, Capt. R. L. Gregory; Company E. Capt M D. Smith; Troop D, Acting Capt. Cliff Price, and Battery D, Capt. l.. s. Torrance. These companies were com posed of between 275 and 300 men. Eigh- teen company officers and 10 staff and field officers were present, among whom were Lieut.. Col Hughes B. Kennedy Capt D. J. McCrossin, acting adjutant and Majs Charles Ledbetter and Carl Seals, in charge of the two battalions.
 The companies, individually and in bat talion formation showed up in an ex- cellent manner, every company acquitting itself admirably. However, Company A of Woodlawn stood out from the rest by way of it's fullness, superior drilling and splendid equipment Only one thing marred the remainder of the review, and that was the sad lack of proper uniforms The drill on Third avenue lasted until 1O;30 o'clock, when the companies were dismissed.
 The battalion muster last night was the second of what will hereafter be regular monthly affairs. The interest created by this movement was evidenced by the large number of men who turned out.

ALL FAVOR TUNNEL THROUGH MOUNTAIN Now Is Best Time to Undertake
 the Project
  WAS AGITATED YEARS AGO Benefits Would Be Not Only To Bir- 'mingham, But Would Greatly En-
 nance Property Values Be-
 yond the Mountain.
WAS AGITATED YEARS AGO

''rhe people of the Birmingham dis trict," said John W. Tomlinson yester- day, will surely stand behind the Board of Revenue in the construction of tun- nel through Red Mountain and the big Jefferson boulevard
 'The board need hardly look for any objection, but I think they should be backed up by all the organizations in the city Resolutions requesting these developments would not be out of order
 "The proposed tunnel is the only means of connecting these two rich valleys so that they may build up and move for McGeever, the natural conditions make 1t easy to carry out the proposition at small cost. Material and labor seems to be at the cheapest point right now, and his suggestion that the work begin im- mediately should be carried out
 Secretary Joseph B. Babb of the Com mereial club said yesterday: Five years ago the property owners of Shades val ley held meeting in the club rooms and passed resolutions requesting the board to construct just such a tunnel as has been suggested by MT. McGeever
 "They were unsuccessful in their at tempt but are no doubt as eager right now as ever. The property owners on this side could have no objection to a new opening for trade and enlargement of the eitys growing bounds
 q have heard the matter suggested so often by prominent men and the idea has been so unanimously commended, that I feel sure nearly all the citizens of the county favor it. I do not think there are many other moves which could better benefit the city at this time. MT. McGeever has struck the right note, and I believe Ire will carry out the plan he so aptly suggested
 Gen. L. V. Clark is another who put his John Hancock to the tunnel propo- sition yesterday: fThe idea as advanced a great one. I agree with MT. McGeever that this is the best time to do it, and the tunnel. broad enough for street cars, carriages and pedestrians would open up an avenue through Shades valley of the most beautiful residences in the district. I am not an interested property owner but I favor the tunnel for the reason that 1t will also cut dowD much of the great expense of marketing the products and hauling them over Red Mountain. That grade Is too steep to be so near to Birmingham"

BIG GAIN SHOWN
 IN METHODISM
DR. M'MURRAY DELIVERS AN AD- DRESS BEFORE CLOSE OF BlR. MlNGHAM CONFERENCE AT WEST END-NoRToN SPEAKS.

An increase of over 5O,O00 in the mem- bership of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, during the year 1907, were the figures given by the Rev. w. F. Me Murray of Louisville, in his address be- fore the district Methodist conference at the third days session in the West End Methodist church yesterday.
 The conference adjourned with the close of the session yesterday afternoon, hay ing proved to be one of the most sue oessful ones held in the district. Reports of committees, licensing ministers and electng delegates to the annual confer ence of all the northern districts to be held next November. took up the after noon session. Dr. McMurray made an ad- dress last night at the Ensley Methodist church.
 The Rev. J. W. Norton. agent of the superannuated home, addressed the morn- ing session on the home. He related the history of it and told of it's work, the congregation being deeply interested in his talk He was followed by Dr. Me-. Murray who spoke on "Church Exten- sion."
 Dr. McMurray is chairman of the church extension board. It was in this address that he told of the increase Tn Methodism during 1907. He also spoke of the great opening in Portland and Okla homa for Methodsm, and especially in reference to Oklahoma. In Oklahoma he declared there were 400 congregations without a church edfice. and made the statement that for every $1oO raised he would erect a $100O church in that state. This was promptly responded to by the West End church, $l00 being sub scribed. A subscription of sl5 was also made by the Twenty-first Street Meth odst church.
 pr. McMurray concluded his address with a description of the churches throughout Oklahoma and of how the money invested there had already proven great investment. On May 10 he said general call would be issued for an increase of $10o,0OO in the loan fund.

MANY JoKERs IN PARTY KEEP THINGS LIVELY ON TRIP-BIG BANQUET WILL BE GIVEN TO. NIGHT.

The visiting United States Steel off cials spent yesterday inspecting brown ore deposits and coal mines-ore near Woodstock and coal at Blocton. President w. E. Corey and his associates left Bir- mingham over the Mineral railroad in their private car Convoy and returned about sundown. They tramped along great stretches of mineral land in the hot sun but instead of being wearied by the ex- ercise they were as bouyant when they reached the Hillman as if they had been out only for a little pleasure stroll.
 The visitors arrived In Birmingham Tuesday morning and began at once to look over the extensive properties of the Tennessee company. a constituent of the United States Steel corporation. They have had, therefore, three strenuous days of it; but they are virile men-full of animal spirits and nervous energy-and hard work with them seems pleasure.
 They are on ''the go' every night The first night they were the guests of MT. and Mrs. Frank H. Crockard at a dinner party at the hospitable Crockard home The. second night George G. Crawford
 
 try club. Last night they were the guests of Joseph G. Butler, member of the party, at a dinner at the Southern club It happened to be the birthday of John Refs, MT. Corey's chief assistant, and MT. Butler gave the party in compli- ment to this popular young official. Mir Butler, Uncle Joe, as his companions af- fectionately call him, was employed as a youth by MT. Reis' father, who was an iron master at Niles, Ohio, President McKinley's birthplace. The dinner was a delightful social affair. The invitations were confined to the members of the Corey party, the only local guests present being MT. Crawford and Walker Percy.
 On leaving the Southern club MT. Corey and the others mounted automobiles and went for spin on the South Highlands Men with less power of endurance would have felt jaded after their toilsome field

TRADE WITH IRON
 MELTERS IRREGULAR
MARKET CONTINUES WITHOUT SPECIAL EREST-FURNACE COST SHEETS BEING CLOSELY ScANNED-CokE IS QUIET.

The Birmingham pig iron market is quiet but. prices are being maintained. Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report for the current week follows: I The irregularity of business with melters in the iron trade continues and the ton mage turned out by foundries depends entirely on the class of work they make. Some are making slow but steady gains toward increased melt and others are at a standstill
 The market continues without interest and furnace cost sheets are being scanned closely to be sure that they get an even swap at present prices.
 One or two lines of largest consumption continue to be regular buyers, but the quantity is small and just sufficient to carry them for a short time. when they again take up the question of additional iron The run of small orders for rush shipment is still in evidence and if there is any improvement in inquiry it is slight, longer time deliveries.
 Coke is very quiet. The market is weak and the production is down. It is report ed that last week the total output for the two Connellsville districts was but 16O000 tons, a 3O,000 ton decrease compared with the week before. Operators make no effort to start their plants and are cut ting down operating time as low as pos sible. Prices are quite wide in range de- pending very largely on the condition of order books of the companies inter- ested. This same is true of all dis trcts and the best brands of coke at the present time continue to be offered at bargain prices

x PARIS CLAIMS COMEUP. Coroner's Controversy With the Board of Revenue Set For April 20.

The trouble which has been brewing between Coroner Paris and the Board of Revenue for the past year will prob ably come to final settlement on April 20. Coroner Paris has filed petition for a mandamus against the board with Circuit Court Judge A. O. Lane, and Judge Lane has issued an alternative writ to the board to show records on the 20th and reason why the mandamus should not be made permanent.
 The disagreement arose over several claims for the expense of holding a number of inquests which the board re- fused to pay. Coroner Paris instituted suit and at the trial there was no record of the claims which had been dsallowed. Under the writ issued by Judge Lane the board will have to show a record.

The Law and Order league seems to be still holding the big stick over the politi cal situation, but it refuses to show it's hands. The officers of the league, it is understood from a good authority, have stated that they will not run for Mayor, but they refuse to be quoted.
 Whether this means that they are saw ing their power for later time or wheth- CT the league will support one of the candidates already announced Is the mat ter most discussed.
 It is known that the executive commit tee of the league held a well attended meeting yesterday afternoon at headquar- ters and were in secret consultation for quite long time. On adjournment they
