WILL PAY HONOR
TO REV. ]. A. BRYAN
PASTOR OF THIRD PRESBYTE-
RIAN CHURCH WILL BE OBJ
SERVED AT CHURCH TODAY

Special services will be held today at the
Third Presbyterian church in celebration
of the twenty first anniversary of the
pastorate of the Rev. j. A. Bryan. The
Rev. Bryan has been the first and only
pastor of the Third church since it's
founding. 1t was established over q years
ago by DR.. L.. S. Handley, then pastor OF
the First Presbyterian church, and now
of the Central church, as mission, and
has grown to its present size and infiu-
ence only through the efforts of the Rev.
Bryan. .r
The Rev. Bryan Is one of the most wide
ly loved men in Birmingham. Throughout
the long period OF his service In this dis
trict he has been engaged in charitable
work and ministerial duties of which the
general public knew little, working tire
lessly and unselfishly to aid the unfortu-
nate. He has held religious services in
portions of the city where church influ-
ence is otherwise never felt, and has
preached more funeral services over the
bodies of the unclaimed or unbefriended
dead in the chapels of undertaking estab-
lishments than any other minister In the
city
For these reasons among others Blr-
mngham will today do homage to the
Rev. Bryan.

Wake up, here" he said. Hasn't
the Chamber of Commerce been doing
your work long enough? 1t has been
the moving spirit behind every project
which has resulted in the increased
value of your property. Didn't it Sc

And he moved on.
Yesterday the committee tackled the

not complete the canvass. Monday they
will finish the First National, and
take up the Farley and the Title Guar

Only four days remain In which to
reach the 1000 mark. 1t will require
the cooperation of every public spirit

whole membership. The wind-up day
must see the goal far to the rear, and
great big enthusiastic membership

escape from the fire, and at the same
time prevent their escape to liberty
The men confined in the upstairs cells
were the most desperate of the entire l46,
and caution had to be exercised
1.-THE verdict says that Ed Porter was
killed by Guard Stuart, but does not say
whether he was justifiable In shooting
him or not. The law says guard must
exercise discretion before shooting con-
Wet attempting to escape. The evidence
showed that Ed Porter was one of the
first men to get out of No. cell, and in
stead of going into the mine, as directed,
he ran in an opposite direction, and was
told by Mr.. Stuart two or three times to
halt, and failing to do SO, was shot and
killed. l say Mr.. Stuart exercised proper
discretion when he called repeatedly to
him to halt. He would certainly have
escaped had he not been shot.
1.-THE verdict says the state did not have
sufficient number of guards to handle
such a situation. That may be true, but
such a situation is not looked for. Three
guards are kept on duty at night, two
inside and one outside. The day guards
sleep nearby.
Does Not Warrant Criticism
"Another criticism is that some of the
guards are not impressed with their duty
to their fellow man. The evidence as
produced, and as l have shown, does not
warrant such a criticism. Criminals of
the worst type were being dealt with and
extreme measures had to be used to pre-
tba;r Tho mar more
intent on escaping the clutches of the law
than from the fire.
1.-The verdict says there was much reck-
less shooting done. The evidence fails to
bear out this statement. Those that were
shot were trying to escape, as the direc-
ton of the wounds indicate. The fence In
front and behind the prison Is not over
Is feet away. Immediately in front and
behind the prison was a guard stand In
each guard stand some buckshot shells
we're kept and there was a good supply
of such shells kept in closet in the nan
between the cells. These two guard
stands caught on fire and burned. The
explosions from the shells in the stands
and in the prison building probably ac-
count for the report that there was much
shooting The fact that only five men
were shot contradicts the statement that
much shooting was done.
1.-The verdict charges three men, two OF
whom are dead, with setting fire to the
prison, which, within itself, shows what
desperate attempts such criminals VIII
make in an effort to escape. Had all or
part of these convicts escaped, unmen-
| tionable crimes would have been COM
mitted, besides robbery, and perhaps muir
der. One negro escaped several month";
ago from this same prison, and he com
mitted four crimes before being recap
tured.
Had this attempt been successful
other prisons would have been burned. Al
| II Ia il will be a long time before con
victs attempt to escape by burning theh
| prison"

WANT EXPERTS TO

The Southern officials Believe II Would
Be Quite Possible to Have Them

ing to Waste

Following a suggestion contained in
The Age Herald yesterday morning, the
Southern Railway company will endeavor
to have government gas experts inspect
the gas wells recently discovered IT,
Fayette county
Yesterday afternoon l.. Sewer. general
agent for the Southern railway, wired
President w. w. Finley to endeavor il
possible to have Chief Geologst c. Will
lard Hayes and DR.. Day visit the Ala
bama fields when they visit Louisiana
for the purpose of lecturing before the
legislature of that state.
Mr.. Sewer said, In speaking of the
matter. that his company would prob
ably request Director Otis Smith of the
geological survey to direct the experts
to visit Alabama.
The experts are perhaps more familiar
with the Appalachian gas field than any
other men, and they could determine
quickly the value of the recent find.
Mr.. Sewer said he was very anxious to
promote the development of the fields,
and would cooperate In every manner
possible looking to this end
Mr.. Sewer yesterday also sent a letter to
M. V. Richards, land and Industrial agent
for the Southern, suggesting that small
industries be secured for Fayette at once
in order to consume the gas that is now
going to waste The company believes
this would rapidly attract attention to
this district and would be the means OF
starting an influx of small manufacture
ing plants. 1t was suggested by Mr..
Sewer that these plants would remain
at or near the wells, and the greater num-
Der would locate in Birmingham when
the gas Is piped to this city
In connection with the proposed visits
OF the two government experts it was
pointed out by Mr. Sewer that it would
be a good plan to have the local citizens
wire the congressional representatives at
Washington to request the visit of the
| two prominent gas men.

The mine is located at Sloss near Bes-

of the company.
Despite the fact that many expert engi-
neers agreed that the recovery of the
mine was hopeless the Sloss company
went ahead and yesterday won a signal
victory in the reclamation of the prop

bration. Colonel Maben said in speaking
of the work:
Short speeches were made at the mine
today and everyone was glad to be in a
position to celebrate the reopening.
Too much credit cannot be given Mr.
Moore and Mr.. Shannon, who, although
not in their regular line of employment
remained faithfully at the task of rescu-
Ing the mine. All the men deserve our
thanks for the untiring efforts in trying
to free the mine of the water The mine
will begin to run ore Monday, while No
l will be ready within a short time
Those in charge of the mine believe the
ore will be mined cheaper now than be-
fore the food
Among the officials attending the cele-
bration were: Col. j. c. Maben, Superin-

of Mines Moore, Mr.. Shannon, manager of
