RESCUE
 STATION LOCATED
Will Be Built Near West End
 Golf Links
WOODWARD GAVE SITE
pected Within Few Dass and Will Look After Work of Actual
 Construction

The federal rescue station of the bu- reau of mines will be located on the site donated to the government by J. H. Woodward near the golf links in West End.
 This was the official statement received in Birmingham yesterday by the local committee which assisted the federal au- thorities in securing a place for the sta- ton.
 The communication received here stat ed that the site offered was near a. rail- road, which is a prime essential. The site Is also near Birmingham and the crew to be stationed at the rescue sta- ton can easily get In touch with any of the mines in the Birmingham district
 It Is expected that one of the directors of the bureau will be in Birmingham in the next few days to look after the actual work of construction, which will be start ed soon. The Birmingham rescue station was provided for by the late Congress through the efforts of Congressman Un- derwood and others here who were inter ested.
 The federal government will retain sev- eral experts at the rescue station all the time. The crews will be supplied with every modern rescuing apparatus for re- susitating stricken miners and penetrat- ing mines charged with gases.
 The industrial men of Birmingham are planning great work with the aid of the federal attaches. It Is planned to drill set of men every week at the rescue station. These men will be educated in ha of the aDnaratuS and taught to operate 1t successfully and cas- fly. They will then be sent back to the mines, where they are employed and will be expected to drill several comrades in the art of rescuing their stricken fellows. In this way 1t is hoped and expected that every mine in the district will be sup piled with drilled crew of rescuers who will be able to render signal aid to any one caught in a gas room.

HOPE FOR CHOIR
 OF 1000 VOICES.
Service of Song Directed By
 Professor Excell
FEATURE FOR THIS FALL
Whole District and Is Expected to Be Very Effective in
 Furthering Work

There was an enthusiastic meeting of day school choir Monday evening, when plans were set on foot to assemble the largest choir that has ever been heard In the district Large bodies of singers from Bessemer, Ensley, Pratt City, Vivian, East Lake, Woodlawn, Avon dale, North Birmingham, East Birming- ham, West End, Graymont and Elyton will aid In the choir, together with all the singers of the churches and Sunday schools of the central district. Perhaps thousand voices will be blended in this mammoth choir that will be trained to be in perfect harmony for musical treat the second week in December, when the well known magnetic loader, Professor Excel of Chicago, will direct 1t in person.
 Professor Excell some years ago ex- pressed himself as being agreeably sur prised at the well trained voices of the singers of this district, and 1t Is hoped to make this the largest and best trained choir the south has ever brought together. Under the leadership of Professor Allsop. Fred Moore and J. A. Sch oil of Ensley, Professor Fowler of Howard college, w. H. Maxim and MT. Green of Birmin gham 1t Is believed the success of the undertaking Is assured.
 M. L. Bonner, who has the general supervision of the work, has divided the great choir into three separate di visions to practice at different localities convenient to those taking part. East Lake, Woodlawn, Gate City and Avon dale will rehearse together; Bessemer, h,nsley, Wylam, Rosedale and Pratt City organizations will be together and the remaining members will meet uptown with the central division. The large Ensley Musical club, known as the Jef- ferson Male Chorus, and the Oriterio club of Birmingham are to aid the choir.
 The chorus will sing together In re- hearsal during the last week in Novem- Der and the final week of song will be held with the First Baptist church of Birmingham.
 A 50-cent ticket will admit one to the eight services of song of this final week.

MOTORCYCLE MEN
 HAVE MERRY CHASE
RECKLESS NEGRO DRIVER SPEEDS FROM TWENTIETH STREET HILL ALMOST TO THE SUMMIT OF RED MOUNTAIN

Pedestrians along Twentieth street, near Five Points, were electrified yes- terday afternoon to see a large auto mobile driven by a negro come dashing through the crowded street at a rate that would have put Barney Oldfeld to shame. They received a second shock a minute later when Motorcycle Officers Hamilton and Turner, doing a life-sized imitation of Bob Stubbs, rushed by in hot pursuit of the negro.
 It was a merry chase. Beginning at the foot of the Twentieth street hill the negro was not overhauled by the off cers until the top of Red mountain was almost reached. The negro went up the Twentieth street hill at a rate of 35 miles an hour and when he reached the top did not slacken but threw on in- creased speed.
 The officers hailed him at the bot tom of the hill but were unable to get his number owing to the rate at which he was travelling. They at once set out in pursuit and when they caught him he was well up on Red mountain.
 Judge Feagin will be asked to give the negro the limit as the officers state that it was the most reckless driving that has ever been done on the street It Is considered remarkable that some- one was not injured.
 The negros name Is Malone and he owns the car which he was driving. Be- sides Malone three other speeders were put under bond. The officers state that there was an unusual amount of fast driving done yesterday and while many were just inside the limit some were above 1t.
 Today Is circus day and the motor cycle officers will work the circus.

OHIO MAN TALKS
 OF THE DISTRICT
William Ramsay Says He Is
 Astounded
PREDICTS GREAT FUTURE
Says Northern Iron and Steel Men No Longer Smile mt Birmingham's Claim of Being the Pittsburg
 of the South

That the people of Ohio and Pittsbure used to smile when Birmingham was called the Pittsburg of the South. but that the smile had changed to a serious acknowledgement of the truth of the claim. was the way William Ramsay general manager of the Jackson Iron and Steel company of Jackson, O., talked yesterday.
 He was in Birmingham for the purpose of calling upon some friends and taking look at the city and district, which he says astound him more than any he has ever visited. MT. Ramsay said 1t would be idle for him to say that Birmingham is a great district for everyone that is at all acquainted with steel and iron knows that already But he said the smile that formerly accompanied tho Pttsburg reference to this district had long since faded.
 MT. Ramsay inspected several plants here yesterday He called upon many prominent industrial men and talked over the prevailing conditions with them.
 We used to smile when anyone re- ferred to Birmingham as the 'Pittsburs of the South,' he said. But I want to tell you that when such a reference is made in Ohio or Pittsburg now there is nothing to smile about. We all know it is fact. You not only have a real Pitts- burg of the South, but you have one that is bound to do greater things, and l think you are now entitled to and have fairly won the title of a second Pittsburg Birmingham Is attracting the attention I.af 4r.1a t,l When certain trade conditions materializa there is absolutely way of measur- | ing the growth that will be yours. From a point of view of natural advantages you have Pittsburg outstripped now. How ever. that city Is no back number, and Birmingham will have to keep moving in order eventually to be up with that real Titan of industrial cities. I never visited any district in which 1 was more sur- prised than Birmingham. Birmingham is so situated that when the Panama canal is opened the materials here OF the finished products. will have a source of consumption that will be almost a. monopoly. When that interesting moment arrives l have no doubt but what indus- trial plans will be made and developed here which will create of Birmingham the largest city in the entire south. Your future Is like that of an ambitious young man. It is surely without bounds and from your attractiveness and real wealth under ground there is surely no less in store for you than industrial suprem- acy over almost any industrial center of the country"
 MT. Ramsay spoke glowingly of the census report of Birmingham, and said 1t attracted more eyes to this city than any advertising campaign that could have been launched
 He said the steel and iron business would improve soon: that railroads were placing orders now for some equipment that always preceded an active buying movement. He will be in Birmingham probably today and will return to his home tonight.

AN EARLE'S DOUBLE

That sErskine Ramsay, senior vice pres ident of the Pratt Consolidated Coal company and a popular bachelor here, Is most striking double of the Earl of Dellausie was the discovery made here by William Ramsay of Ohio, distant relative of the noble Scotchman.
 MT. Ramsay of Ohio called upon MT. Ramsay of Birmingham and the two talk ed about the many things in common be- tween the Scotch.
 MT. Ramsay of Ohio said MT. Ramsay of Birmingham possesses every facial expression of the noted Scotchman and should pass easily for him In any Scotch village or city.
 Ramsay is a family name of the Earl of Dellausie. The Ramsay family of Pittsburg, to which Erskine Ramsay be- longs, is traceable to the same line.

FIND MOST DESIRABLE

Said Mr.. Hatman this morning
I'VE have found our best locations
in southern Wyoming. Denver in
the suburban districts is desirable

there is overcrowded. l believe
that there is small prospect that
Greeley will get the sanitarium,
though, of course, there is some
chance after we return to Chicago
and go over the various localities.
weighing the advantages and disad-
vantages of each. | might say at
this time, however. that we have
practically decided upon a Wyoming
town for the institution.
There are many reasons why a
mcuntnin locality is to be preferred
to one such as this city affords and
unless there were compensating ad
vantages to be gained in other lines
such as water. | would certainly ad-
