Responses TodayIn Many States
 to Presidents Invitation.

Washington. Dec. 5. Hearty re- sponse was made to President Roose- velt's invitation to the farmer and oth- CTS interested in rural life to meet to- day to discuss the movement to better the life of the farmer and his family. The meetings are one of the results of the recent appointment of the ma tional commission to investigate the conditions surrounding life on the farm.
 Today's meeting included not alone farmers. but also, in the presidents own words. "all those who live in the open country and are intimately connected with those who do farm work-minis ters. schoolteachers, editors of country papers-in short. all men and women whose life work is done either on the farm or in connection with the life work of those who are on the farm"
 In his letter to Chairman l.. H Bailey of the country life commission the president suggested the discussion of such topics as "The Efficiency of the Rural Schools Farmers Organ izations,' "The Question of Farm La. bor," '.The Need of Good Roads" "Im- proved Postal Facilities" Sanitary Conditions on the Farm" etc.

burg American Liner, Run Asrouns by Her Officers to Prevent Her 6eini Available Against the Revolutionists Port au Prince, Haiti, Dec. 5.-Meet ing no organized resistance, General army has swept all before 1t, entered the capital today and holds sway as dictator.
 So fur as the people express pref erence, they seem to favor General Si- mon for the presidency, but there is likely to be bitter contest, as Gen. erals Firmin, Leconte and Fouchard, rival candidates, are hastening to this city.
 General cincinnatus Leconte, former minister of the interior, embarked at St. Thomas. b. W. l., on a French mail steamer today and will land here to- morrow.
 General Firmn is on board the steamer Virginia, bound from St. Thomas for Port all Prince by way of Kingston. General Fouchard's arrival is expected hourly by his partisans.
 General Jules Coicou, military chief of Port au Prince. took refuge in q seminary. Threatening groups stood in front of the building for awhile, but soon were dispersed.
 General simon and General Legitime will begin consideration of the details of the appointment of provisional government to manage the affairs of the republic until a special session of the Haitian congress can be called to arrange for new elections, when q president is to be elected
 The regular elections will not occur before next May, but in view of the overthrow of the former government month to elect new president.
 The cruiser Croyant. flagship of the Haitian navy, has been run aground off Jeremie by her officers, who sym pathized with the insurgents and took this means to prevent this vessel be- ing used to thwart General Simon's plans.
 The Croyant, which was formerly the Hamburg American steamship Adirondack and ran in the Atlas serv- ice between New York and the West Indies, is in d bad position.
 The Croyant had been ordered by the Haitian government to shell some insurgent towns and the majority of the crew, being sympathizers with the insurgents. ran the cruiser ashore.

ONE WOUNDED AND
 ELEVEN CAPTURED
NEGRO PREPARING TO SHOOT OF TIGER GATES IS HIMSELF SERi- ousLY WouNDED-RAID ON A SUNDAY CRAP GAME.

While raiding craps game at East Blr- ningham last night Police Officer Gates narrowly escaped being shot by one of the negroes indulging in the dice rolling affair.
 Officers Gates and Larue spotted a game in d negro house on Thirty-thrd street and Eighth avenue and were preparing to raid the place when one of the ne- groes stepped up into the window and had leveled his pistol on MT. Gates when he was seen. Officer Gates was quicker on the trigger than was the negro, get ing in the first shot which took effect in the negro's side.
 The wounded negro made good his es- cape but the officers captured eleven other negroes who were inside. The wounded man came to Birmingham and was dis covered in one of the drug stores. The police had him removed to the Hillman hospital, where his wound was dressed. He stated that he would not remain in the hospital, necessitating his being guarded.
 The negro is seriously though not nec- essarily fatally wounded.

FRIDAY VIEWERS
 WILL MEET BOARD
CONSIDERED A CERTAINTY THAT ST. CHARLES ROAD WILL BE CONSTRUCTED SHADES VAL. LEY PEOPLE DELIGHTED.

The viewers of and citizens interested in the St. Charles street road through Red mountain will be given a hearing before the Board of Revenue next Fri day. The viewers have filed their report, including the route, the necessary right of way, and the condemnation of prop erty, as well as damages that should be allowed.
 On Friday the property owners who have not settled the question of the right of way will appear before the board and declare their objections if they have any. No doubt the differences will be adjusted, and immediately the board will begin the consideration of plans and specifications, Probably by the first of September actual work will have begun on this connection between the two valleys.
 The residents of the western part of Shades valley are delighted with the idea They are enthusiastically pushing it and claim that it will put them ten miles closer to Birmingham" although less than two miles of road will have to be constructed. For years they have been urging the scheme, but it has now been taken up by an active commission of viewers, and is practically an established fact

DEPUTY WESTON
 DIES OF WOUND

The death of Special Deputy Sheriff Henry H. Weston at the camp at Bloss- burg early yesterday morning cast an in- tense sadness over the officers and mii- tiamen camped there. Westons death re- suited from the accidental discharge of his shotgun, the entire charge taking ef- feet in his left leg While he received instant attention from the army surgeons the shock proved too great and he passed away between midnight and daybreak.
 His remains were brought to Birming- ham yesterday morning, where they were prepared for burial by the Gaudin Under taking company. In the afternoon they were sent to his family home in Sheffield for interment, brother accompanying them.
 Despite the great pain he was suffering Weston uttered scarcely groan from the time he was shot in the afternoon until he died. He was conscious nearly all the while.
 He was in his tent at the time of the accident, which was caused by the trigger of his gun becoming entangled in the springs of his cot. The end of the barrel was against his leg and the load shattered the bone.

COMPANY ORDERED
 TO TAKE REPUBLIC
CAPTAIN SCULLY'S WOODLAND BOYS TRANSPORTED TO NEW CAMP IN WAGONS - SEVERAL COMPANIES AT AUGSBURG.

Company A of the Third regiment, which is composed mostly of Woodlawn boys, was moved from the Blossburg camp yesterday morning to Republic, thus making two militia camps. This company went to Blossburg early Saturday morn ing from Birmingham, and assisted in the securing of the country in that vicin- ity.
 The situation at Republic began to as- sume an ugly look again, and orders were issued to Company A early yesterday morning to go there at once. The dis tance across country is some four or i've miles, and the soldiers were transported in wagons.
 Camp was struck before noon, the men being housed in two of the best buildings in the town. The company is in command of Capt Joseph B. Scully, First Lieut.. John w. Wood and Second Lieut.. l.. L.. Moss The number of men in camp is 49.
 Company B, G and K, with Battery D, were left at Biossburg with the Gatlng and Colts automatic guns. The heavy rainstorm of Saturday night caused the men to desert the dog tents erected at the foot of the mountain. for several of the miners houses close by.

CITY HAS ROADS
 TO KEEP IN ORDER
THREE HIGHWAYS TO EAST LAKE NOT IN BOARD OF REVENUES JURISDICTION ARE IN VERY
 BAD SHAPE.

Automoblists and others report that the three roads to East Lake are in a mis- erable condition.
 The members of the Board of Revenue when asked about this condition merely state that none of the roads are within their jurisdiction, being inside the limits of municipalities. The Tenth avenue road der the supervision of the county, was voted into Birmingham last month
 Birmingham, therefore, has this six miles of highway to keep in repair, as we'll as the Fifth avenue and First avenue Woodlawn accept the invitation extended by the City Council there will be IS miles of much travelled road to care for.
 All are now in bad condition, it is learned. While the Tenth avenue road is in excellent shape part of the way, there are several bad places. The othec two in most places are disgraceful, it is charged.
 In keeping with the Jefferson" boule- yard movement, which was expected 10 extend from Ensley to East Lake, the city will probably have to take this mat ter up and insure the suburban people a good smooth connecting link that they may enjoy quick delivery from the Bir- mingham merchants

ANOTHER SESSION
 OF ADERHOLD JURY

After a 15-hour session of investigation of the mysterious murder of J. D. Ader- hold, at 12 o'clock Saturday night the coroners jury found It's work uncom- pleted and, accordingly, the investigation of the case was continued until this morn ing.
 Owing to the fact that strict secrecy is being maintained as to the proceed ings of the jury the particulars of the case could not be ascertained yesterday. It is believed, however, on account of the lengthy investigation and the method of the jury's procedure, that the case is proving a most sensational one.
 The coroner's jury went to the plant of the Dupont Powder company, where Aderhold was murdered Saturday morn ing before o'clock and was in session there until 12 o'clock Saturday night. Their work Is not yet done. The jury will hold a session either in the coroner 5 office at the courthouse or return to the powder plant this morning to finish it's work.
 It will be recalled that Aderhold was murdered about il o'clock Wednesday night near the powder plant, his body being literally riddled with small shot. Two special deputy sheriffs, J. H. Long and J. H. Rothpletz, have been arrested in connection with the case. Beyond this very little is known.

AVERAGE WAGES
 HIGHER IN 1907
Some Interesting Figures Shown in Report of Bureau of
 Labor.

Washington, July 19.-The average wages per hour in 1907 were 3.7 per cent higher than in 1906, the regular hours of labor per week were CA per cent lower than in 1906 and the num- Der of employees in the establishments investigated was 1 per cent greater than in 1906.
 These are some of the facts of inter- est in a statement issued today by the bureau of labor as the result of an in- vestigation of the principal wage work ing occupations in 4169 establishments, representing the principal manufactur- ing and mechanical industries of the country.
 Investigations covering the sales of 1014 dealers in 6S localities show that the retail prices of 30 principal articles of food, according to consumption in representative working mems families were Az per cent higher in 1907 than in 1906. As the advance in retail prices from 1906 to 1907 was greater than the advance in wages per hour, the pur- chase power of an hours wages, as measured by food, was slightly less in 1907 than in 1906, the decrease being one-half of 1 per cent.

MARY LEE GUARD
 SHOT AT UNKNOWN

The reported trouble at Mary Lee mines Saturday night proved to be nothing of importance. The night watchman of the E. l. DuPont Powder company at Lewisburg reported short ly before 12 o'clock Saturday night that he had heard a number of gun shots over toward the Mary Lee mines and that the whistle at the mines was blowing at short intervals.
 Upon investigation yesterday it was learned that one of the guards on the mine property had attempted to halt man, who ran when he heard the order to stop the guard firing several shots at him as he fled. Otherwise there. was no disturbance at the Mary Lee mines. The whistle which attracted attention was merely blowing for the master mechanic.
