\. M. WAITE SPENDS DAY IN BIRMINGHAM Popular Former Citizen Greets
 Old Friends MARVELS AT CHANGES Is Now Vice President of CIinchfield Coal Company and Talks Interest

 SenbOard States
MARVELS AT CHANGES

Henry M. Waite, vice president of the Clnchfield Coal company of Virginia was in Birmingham yesterday, after an ab- sence of several months from the Bir- mingham district. He was formerly with the Seaboard Air line and resigned after the Garrett administration was dissolved from the Seaboard.
 MT. Waite is very popular in this city, having perhaps a wider circle of friends than any railroad officer ever stationed here. He was appointed to his very re- sponsible position prior to his resignation from the Seaboard service.
 He was busy yesterday calling upon many friends in industrial circles and left curing the evening for his home in Vir- ginia.
 He said that even in so short a time as he has been away from here impressive changes are to be seen on every hand in Birmingham. Mir. Waite said Birming- ham was on the lips of everyone, practl- cally, since the census returns had been published, and that untold wealth would be drawn into the district by reason of the valuable notices received from the census returns. In speaking of business, he said:
 Coal business in all the seaboard states has been excellent this year That was brought about somewhat by the strike out west and the natural and gradual broadening of industrial plants in this end of the country. In this district it is pretty well established that the coal busi- ness was perhaps never so good. That is also the condition up our way. We have enjoyed unrivalled prosperity and there seems to be no indication of a let-up at this time. The cold weather caused a large opening for commercial coal and the sales through this channel alone have been phenomenal. I look for the country to establish a record in productions this year."
 MT Waite was taken out yesterday afternoon to look over some industrial improvements made by local companies and the progress of the work of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company near Ensley.

AVENUE VIADUCT
 TO COST ABOUT $435, 900
Of This Amount About $4O0O0 Will Be Paid By City For Abutments- Twenty eighth Street Viaduct To Begin
 Within Five Years At Cost Of $400000

The First avenue viaduct is to be erect ed at a cost estimated by the railroads at $4s5.oOo. Of this the city will pay about s4o,OO0 for the construction of the abut- ments, while the remainder of the bill will be footed by the railroads.
 The Twenty-eighth street viaduct, or which work is to begin within five years. will cost s4Oo.ooo, according to the railroad engineers estimate.
 The agreement Is practically completed. Mayor Culpepper Exum and City Attor- ney Romaine Boyd, with L. sevier and E. D. Smith spent all of yesterday work ing out the details. The agreement will be ready for meeting of the special via duct committee Wednesday night, and 1t is quite probable that a meeting of the council will be called for Thursday or Friday to receive the report.
 It may be stated on good authority that the only concession granted by the city is that certain streets and alleys may be closed forever by legislative en- actment while the railroads have agreed to build two viaducts and to foot prac- tically the whole expense.

GO OVER NEW
 MINING LAWS
Final Draft Has Not Been Made and Another Meeting Is to Bc
 Held Soon

The executive committee of the Ala bama Operators association, having in hand the drafting of the new mine laws, held meeting yesterday The rough draft of the proposed laws was gone over but no decision was reached as to the final bill.
 It was given out by Capt. J. V. Allen, secretary of the association, that another meeting would be held soon.
 The new laws contemplate wide changes in the mining of coal in this district. The growing importance of this district as a coal center and the frequency of accidents as well as other features of the work have called for deep study on the part of the owners.
 It is the desire to protect the workmen fully and at the same time throw such restrictions about their property as will protect the collieries also.
 The laws also take into consideration the mine inspectors office and many changes will be recommended in the working of that department.
 It is not anticipated that a great amount of resistence will be met in hay ing the laws adopted.

O'Neal Must Prepare Message and Fill 721 State Offices
 By Appointment
SPENT YESTERDAY HERE
 AND WENT TO FLORENCE
Received Several Applicants for oface But Says He VIII Not Have Time to Consider Them Until
 After Inauguration

But 29 days remain before the 1egis- lature of Alabama will be called to- gether in Montgomery to begin It's first and only regular 50-day session. On January 9 the two houses will meet, receive the message of B. B. Conner, the retiring governor, and organize. A week later, on January Is, Governor Emmet O'Neal will be inaugurated and will send his message to the legisla- ture.
 Within the two months following Colonel o'Neil will not only have on his hands the legislature and the pol will endeavor to carry out, but 721 of noes to fill by appointment, for which there are about 5000 applicants.
 Colonel ONeal has employed a clerk to tabulate and classify the applica- tions, which he will take up for con- sideration after his inauguration. He has not yet begun work on either his inaugural address or the first message, and will leave Birmingha today for his home in Florence to spend the next two weeks attending to these arduous duties
 The next governor was in the city yesterday, looking after some priva 6 business. He received a number of applicants for positions, but simply stated that he would not have time to consider single appointment un- til after he gets settled down in Mont gomery. q want to give these mat ters careful attention, and do not i'm tend to act hurriedly," he said.
 With the exception of his private secretary no appointment will be an- nounced until tie middle of next month.
 Colonel ONeal was delighted with his trip to Frankfort, Ky, and the con ference of governors. He declared that no little good would result from the annual meetings of these representa- tives
 It is a strange fact that Alabama Is the only state in the union which re- quires so much of her governor in so short a time. Following right on the heels of two strenuous campaigns Colonel O'Neal is required to jump irn- mediately into meeting of the legis- lature. upon which depends the sue cess, in a large measure, of his ad- minlstration. He is required to submit a message to the legislature while still stranger to the state departments and during, the midst of these legisla- tive troubles he must settle the squab- ble for more than TOO public offices. sa Were it. not for the fact that co,.- stitptfonals amendments are so unpepl iuiar it Is. possible that an effort would be made to correct this condition at this time.

He succeeds w. A. Greene, who will sever his connection with the Republic company to become comptroller of the Texas company January 1.

Members of the city's committee are still maintaining silence. Fer 10 years the city has been working on this prob lem," said one of the aldermen, and it is important that now the opportunity presents itself, nothing should be done which might upset an agreement. We are all delighted, and believe that the time has come when real relief is 10 be had"
 While 1t will not interfere in any way with the agreement between the railroads and the city, there is still another prob lem to be solved before actual work be- gins. Not only half dozen railroads, but the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company and the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, will have to figure in the division of expenses, and when their various representatives get down to figuring just what proportion each should shoulder it is probable that numerous friendly bouts will occur.
 In fact, the matter was taken up ten tatively yesterday. and disagreement on terms resulted at once. This is not ex- pected, however, to interfere with the city's signing it's agreement.

 Held Yesterday ADAMS RETAINS PLACE Statement Is Made, However, That the Work for Next Three Years VIII

 the Mines
ADAMS RETAINS PLACE

A meeting of the stockholders of the sayre Mining and Manufacturing com pany was held yesterday and bond issue of s25o,o00, with which to pay of some pending obligations and 70 make improve ments in the future, was authorized. The anticipated retirement of Vice Pres ident John H. Adams was not announced when the meeting adjourned The announcement was authorized that the bond issue would be sold from time to time 10 meet the present obligations of the company. and that when the condi- tions improved the remainder of the. issue would be sold and placed into improve ments.
 Among the contemplated Improvements are new electrical plant and the exten- sion of some of the properties connected with the mine operations at Sayre.
 The bonds will not be placed on the market. The meeting did not last long and the issue was authorized without any dissenting votes.
 As to the retirement of MT Adams it was stated that the output of Sayre had been sold for three years and the busi- ness of the company was of such a nature as to be only the minor operating of a mine. For that reason it was stated MT. Adams would probably enter some indus trial work which would be of more value than the mere nominal overseeing of a coal mine. What he proposes to do has not been announced
 MT. Adams personally has made no an- nouncement except to say that he is con sidering two or three offers which per haps would eventually mean his relin- quishing his position with the Sayre com | pany.
 He is among the best informed men in l the district as to industrial conditions and will no doubt be eagerly sought by industrial companies should he determine to leave the Sayre company.
