 HEAD IN THE CITY
R. H. Baker May Interest Him
 self in Gas
INsPECTs THE FIELDS
Is Greatly Impressed With Birming- hams Possibilities and Thinks Nat uraI Gas Would Mean Much
 for City's Future

R. H Baker president of the Texas Central railroad of Austin, Tex, Is ir Birmin gham. He has been here sev- eral days during which time he has been shown over the district by local industrial men. MT. Baker Is enthu- siastic over the present greatness of the city and the possibilities of the future.
 He has looked Into the gas indica- tions while here and said probably Birmingham would realize a great wealth from that source after the find had been thoroughly proven. MT. Ba- ker has been in the Texas fields often and is pretty well acquainted with ad- vantages to be derived from natural gas. In talking about the city MT. Ba- ker said:
 'I am greatly impressed with Bir- mingham- It would seem to me that nature has done much for you-inex- haustible deposits of coal iron and I understand a very large flow of nat ural gas has been discovered, and the prospect for oil is good. I am In no way interested in Birmingham and its ucNSlOpueHIS dAlHOubn nave DSen much interested in the outcome of your natural gas deposit. which. in my opin- lon, will mean much to you, and will be a great factor in your growth.
 'I understand 1t was recently men tioned that l had expected to come to Birmingham in company with a num- Der of gentlemen, mentioning John w. Gates. I have not the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with Mir Gates, and I have no connection with the Texas company. I know MT. Cullinan, n, president of that company and a num- Der of his official staff. It is won- derful institution; its growth has been phenomenal and reflects great credit upon its management. I see that re- gently they have established a plant in Birmin gham.
 T like Birmingham very much ana hope that I may find 1t to my interest to visit 1t again, and it is possible that I may become interested in your natural gas development"

 FOR EPIDEMIC

Washington, November 29.-Ordinary table salt in the sugar which they used was responsible for the illness of certain midshipmen at the Naval academy at Annapolis, who were supposed to have been victims of a spiteful plot conceived and exectued in the culinary department, was the conclusion reached following a chemical analysis of a sample Of the sugar made here today in the laboratory of the Surgeon General of the Navy.
 Officials of the navy department are inclined to the belief that the salt found its way into the sugar purely through accident, and that there was no plot at all
 There are now p cases of typhoid fever st the academy, and four of the patients are in a serious condition, according to reports received today by Surgeon Gen eral Stokes. The typhoid epidemic has no relation to the contaminated sugar. The Surgeon General expects that few more cases of the fever may develop during the next week as result of drink-

Senator Joseph F. Johnston

Senator Joseph F. Johnston made a most happy speech, though he was suf- fering with cold and a sore throat which hindered his delivery.
 ''The citizens of Birmingham are not growth of this city. Your lieutenant governor, Henry B. Gray, Is a carpet bagger from Georgia, so is Governor Co., mer. Congressman Underwood is a car petbagger from Kentucky. I am car petbagger from North Carolina. There are many others I could name. Those I have mentioned had to leave our old homes to get recognition. But most of the builders of this city had to come from somewhere. There was no one here to build city originally, but we all love Birmingham, the state of Alabama and it's institutions"
 In closing Senator Johnston paid a fine tribute to the women of Alabama and the south.
 Mayor Culpepber Exum
 Mayor Exum extended warm and hearty welcome to the Confederate vet erans. We are always glad to have you with us. l want here and now to say not only as Mayor of Birmingham, but as a citizens as well that you always have a standing invitation to come to Birmingham for your reunions or for any other occasion. Come and be with us. We feel honored to have you and will do all in our power to make things pleasant for you.
 "I want to say further that if any of you have not had good time on this occasion call at the city executive office and we will see if we cannot do some- thing for you.
 "It is especially pleasing to me as the chief executive of Birmingham to hear so many nice things said about this city and its people. Birmingham should try to live up to the expectations of these good people and I believe it will.
