SURPRISED AT NOT
HEARING FROM TAFT.
T. R. and Pinchot Nearly Fall Into
Each Others Arms---Take
Long Stroll.
(By Staff Correspondent of the
United Press.)

(By a Staff Correspondent Of the
United Press.)
PORTO MAURiZIO, Italy, April
11.-"HeiIo, Clifford! This is fine!"
was RooseveIt's exclamation today
on meeting Clifford Pinchot, former
chief forester Of the United States
and one of the closest men to
Roosevelt in private and public life.
The meeting of the former presi-
dent and his former chief adviser
of the "tennis cabinet" took place
here at the villa of Miss Carew,
sister to Mrs. Roosevelt.
The meeting, which had been
planned several months ago, be-
fore Roosevelt left the United
States, is looked upon as porten-
tious. 1t is believed that Roosevelt
will make up his mind as to his
course of action politically, upon
conclusions formed after confer
ring with Pinchot.
The meeting was early this morn
ing, Pinchot having arrived here
Unexpectedly at midnight. After
a few hours rest at the Palace ho-
tel he appeared at the villa. and
was greeted enthusiastically by
Roosevelt.
The greeting of Pinchot by
Roosevelt was made heartier be-
cause the colonel had not expected
to see Pinchot so soon. They
clasped hands like long lost broth
ers. 1t was almost case Of fall
ing into each others arms.
Roosevelt drew Pinchot into the
house, holding him affectionately
by the shoulder. A few minutes
later they reappeared and started
for the mountains for stroll,
which lasted two hours.

AIDS AMUsEMENT-GoERs
Can Come to Birmingham From North
 and Leave for Home at Midnight

Amusement seekers and late buyers In Birmingham will have improved railroad accommodations when the Louisville and Nashville begins the new train service December4 Persons wishing to see good entertainments here can reach Birming- ham on trains from the north and south about o'clock in the evening. They will be in plenty of time to see the shows and catch the late trains north and south for their homes away from Birmingham In that way many people especially those north of Birmingham, can secure transportation to Birmingham almost as conveniently as the street cars give to residents of Bessemer and East Lake.
 It is expected that the line north will prove very popular with hundreds of peo- pie coming here for the purpose of spend ing the evening at the theatres Persons at Warrior for instance, would be as late as 1:30 o'clock in the morning get ting home after leaving for the theatres at o'clock In the evening.
 The service on the Louisville and Nash vile in many ways is expected to prove something that has been long sought by people all over the north end of Ala bama.

NOISE PLEASED WITH
 NEW WORK AT SAME

That the new tracks of the Central of Georgia railroad to Acmar (Sanio), the new Alabama Fuel and Iron company mine, would be completed and ready for trains within a few days, was the an nouncement of T. s. Noise, general man. ager of the Central who was in Brming- ham yesterday.
 He was at Acmar yesterday looking over the work as it now stands at that place and getting in touch with officers of the coal company with a view of hand ing at that place. MT. Noise said the work costing s125000 had been com pletely so fsr on fast schedule and that he was very much pleased.
 'The work at Acmar is certainly com ing along fast said MT. Noise. "The contractors are getting affairs into first class shape and within a short time traf- fic will1be moving over the new work Our company is very much interested tn the new line. and the vast developments that are being carried on at Acmar
 Business is very good at this time. Our line ff3s been holding up fine. We look for further increases in this respect during the next few weeks. AS the cleo ton is over 1t seems as though every feature of commercial life has taken on a different hue. The outlook, I may say. is decidedly bright"
 Mir. Noise returned to headquarters yesterday. He with several other officers will be in Birmingham again shortly to see the work at Sanie and inaugurate the service.

PROVIDENCE STOCK
 WELL REPRESENTED
Stockholders Will Assemble
 Again This Morning
BIG FIGHT UNDER WAY
Dr. Grove Will Attempt to Retain Con- troI While Captain Allen VIII Of- fer to Buy Treasury Stock
 to Pay Debts

The scheduled meeting of the stock holders of the Providence oil and Gas
 company was passed from yesterday afternoon until this morning at II o'clock on account of the inability of the committee on credentials to formu- late a report.
 The committee which Is composed of | three stockholders of the company will pass upon the voting power of all tn ose attending the meeting and the proxies held before the stockholders will get down to business.
 On account of the past disputes among those who own the Providence Oil and Gas company and it's possible relations with Birmingham through its gas and oil output the meeting has been anticipated with special interest When the stockholders gathered yester- day morning the meeting was adjourned until 8 o'clock in the afternoon to the assembly room of the Chamber of Con- merce building, where it was decided further delay was necessary. The as- sembly hall yesterday afternoon was crowded with stockholders, proxy holders and others interested in the meeting. pr. B. G. Grove and Capt. J, V. Allen, who are the principal actors in the controversy, were both on hand.
 At the meeting Dr. Grove circulated a letter showing his connection with the company and the disposition made by him of many shares of stock.
 The controversy may terminate hasti- ly this morning for Capt. J. V. Allen, who is lea ding the insurgency element of the stockholders, said last night that he and associates would offer to pay S3o,0O0 for the entire treasury stock is- sue to the amount of about 200, 900 shares, which would be more than enough to pay all debts and liabilities of the company. Then it is planned to sign contracts to pipe gas to Birming- ham. Captain Allen said he would put up a certified check for a forfeit this morning, If he can muster enough votes this may go a long way toward settling the affair. On the other hand, Dr. Grove, who has a large and in- fiuential following, may counteract such move and the entire affair be threshed by the minority owners.
 The meeting may result in some tangible moves being made to bring gas from the Fayette field despite dis couraging views to the contrary

MUSIC FESTIVAL
 PLANS CONSIDERED

The festival committee of the Music Festival association met yesterday aft ernoon in the directors room of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany for the purpose of considering plans for festival next spring similar to the one held last April. President J. H. Hol- combe presided and most of the members of the committee were in attendance.
 W. Spencer Jones. representing Walter Damrosch and the New York Symphony orchestra, was present and submitted his only available dates-Tuesday, May g.; Wednesday 10th and Thursday, May Il. MT. Damrosch will have a solo quartet on his festival tour, but individually 1t is made up of fresh new voices. MT. Jones' terms are the same as last spring.
 The committee adjourned to meet again Thursday afternoon, when it is believed that a detailed report as to where the festival will be held will be ready. It is proposed to have five performances three at night and two in the afternoon.
 The Birmingham Oratorio society is rehearsing Elijah, with the expectation of making that the large vocal feature of the festival.

catch words of the occasion will be pre- sented in this manner. These signs will be five and one-half feet square, so that they may be read block off.
 Your committee has also let the con- tract to the above parties for decorating the Orpheum theatre and the speakers stand in Capitol park. all of which will be handsomely done.
 .The contract has been let to the Southern Ad company for erecting, paint ing and finishing in proper style a mag nificent "triumphal arch" which will be placed across Twentieth street just above Sixth avenue, constituting a gateway to the official play ground of the occasion, Capitol park. where the speaking will take place on the 2srd, and the fireworks will be given on the evenings of the 22d and 23d. This arch is going to be something distinctly new, elaborate and unique. Your committee witholds de- scription of this arch so as not to dull the keen edge of anticipation.
 Through the courtesy of the joint home trade committee of the Chamber of Commerce and the Business Mems | ing the words which are at once an in junction and an invitation, Trade in Birmingham have been ordered, and a number of these signs have already been delivered to the secretary of the Cham Der of Commerce for free distribution to all merchants or other business people who will agree to give these signs prom inent places in their decorations. These signs are six feet long by three feet deep. Ii is the opinion of this committee that 100 of these signs, judiciously placed ip Birmingham will certainly make the vis- itors know that we want them to trade in Birmingham and be a powerful re. hinder to>our own people to trade in Birmingham
 Your committees work is of couse by nc means over, but we feel that every thing is now planned in such manner that the decorative success of this occa- sion is assured. Just how perfect a suc- cess this will be will depend upon the individual merchant, business man and building owner. We call upon them to decorate in a manner befitting this great occasion"

PLANNING TO HAVE
 NEW BANKING LAWS

McLane Triton, Jr., of Pell City, secre- tary of the Alabama Bankers associa- tion, and president of the Alabama Press association, was in Birmingham yester- day looking over the proof of the new banking laws which are being drawn by k. J. Smyer for the state association.
 MT. Smyer has them in good shape. said MT. Triton, and I will present them to the executive committee at it's meet ing in Montgomery. We intend to make strong effort to have them passed by the legislature.
 Alabama practically has no banking laws as conditions now stand. This code will take the place of existing laws and will put Alabama on par with Massa- chusetts, New York and other big bank ing states.''
 Asked if he is interested in any other bills before the legislature he stated that Leon McCord had agreed to draft bill allowing country editors to exchange space for railroad transportation. and as president of the Alabama Press club he is very anxious to see this passed.
