 CHURCH OF ADVENT

The Lenten services which have been so largely attended at the Advent are approaching a close. The last of the daily afternoon services was held yes terday at which time the pastor de- livered an address on Time Spent With God" Before dsmissing the congrega tion Dr. Evans thanked the Lenten choir for their faithfulness in attend - ing all the daily services. Services will be held today at o'clock and tonight at o'clock. Tonight, as is customary al the Advent on Holy Thursday, the church will be only partially lighted, except at and around the altar, where the altar candles gleam.

MAY SELL THE NORTH BIRMINGHAM PLANT
Commissioners Hear From Citizen That Water Is
 Unfit to Drink

The indications point strongly to the sale of the North Birmingham water works plant at the hands of the Board of Commissioners. This idea came into existence yesterday when F. D. Me Arthur, a citizen of North Birming ham, came before the commissioners and told them in words leaving little doubt as to his sincerity, that the water now had a green scum over it and was positively poisonous and should be sold.
 He said he represented no persons in his visit. but that he would insist that some immediate action be taken to relieve the people of that section of a dangerous condition. He said there was a strong sentiment for the sale of the plant and that he would favor such a proposition
 Commissioners Weatherly and Lane were of the opinion that the plant should receive immediate attention and referred the complaint of MT. McArthur to the board as whole to look into it.
 The commissioners in their general scheme for a revision of expenses down ward may decide to sell the plant. It is stated that the former idea of per hitting the plant to become nucleus for municipal ownership, was senti- mental more than business like.
 The commissioners have now report from a prominent engineer engaged by President Culpepper Exum when he was mayor to the general effect that the plant should be sold. It is said this report proves unquestionably that the water is now dangerous and that as a general proposition the plant is q white elephant" on the hands of the city.
 There apepars to be no desire to sell the electric lighting plant and that may be retained by the commissioners The report that an offer had been made heretofore for the water works was said yesterday to have been mislead- ing

WANT EXPERTS ON
 CORONER'S JURY Officials Want Competent Men to Investigate
 Banner Disaster

That Coroner Brasher in investigat- ing the disaster at Banner mines will summon a jury of expert mining men on that panel is the general impress sion in industrial circles. The coal mining men desire that the cause or the explosion at Banner be probed thoroughly. and that every fact be brought out in the official investiga- ton that will be made by the officials of Jefferson county. It Is stated that the Pratt Consolidated Coal company, owners of the mine in which 12S un- fortunates lost their lives, is perfectly willing and even eager that the best expert talent in the Birmingham dis trict be employed in the work of prob-
 ing the disaster.
 It is stated that Coroner Brasher went to the scene of the explosion yes terday and that he will return to Bir- mingham perhaps this morning and then announce the empaneling of the jury for the investigation. No official announcement has been made but 1t is stated that such men as T. H. Al drich. an old-time mining expert; M. H. Fies. general superintendent of mines for the Birmingham Coal and Iron company; F. H. CoXe, general su- nerintendent of mines for the Tennes- see Coal, Iron and Railroad company; T. H. Bush, general superintendent of the Woodward mines and two other experts equally as well known as the ones named will be asked to go into the Banner mines trouble thoroughly.
 The industrial men of this district to man almost cannot understand how the mine at Banner could have been exploded except by powder. It is stated positively there was no gas or dust, and if powder was not the origin of the damage then there is some mys- terious element which should be known and guarded against. The industrial men want to find out what caused the trouble so steps can be taken to rem edy the existence of such dangers It is stated if gas did the work after such extraordinary care and attention had been given Banner, or that dust did it after such a careful system of sprinkling, then the company and the mine circles want to know it.
 The coroner it is stated, will be asked specially to organize a jury of experts whose judgment will be ac cepted by the people not only of the state but of the United States.
 The officials of the Pratt Consol- dated desire the fullest inquiry. They state that their precautions were all that human ingenuity could place around their mine.

JEWISH PASSOVER
 BEGAN LAST NIGHT
Dr. Newfield Will Deliver Passover Sermon at Temple Emanu-El
 This Morning.

The Jewish Passover, which began last night, will continue for seven days. The following explanation of the festival is explained as follows:
 Passover (Pesach) is the seven days festival observed by the Jew in the early spring in commemoration of the exodus from Egypt In ancient Jewish life it was the first of the three pilgrim festivals, upon which every male Jew was required to present himself in person at the cen tral sanctuary in Jerusalem. Although the Passover has certain features in com mon with the universal spring festival, 1t is it's historical significance which gives it lasting vitality. It is the great independence day of the Jew; the first event in his national history, an event which became fundamental in all his thinking, too, as evidenced by the fre- quent reference to the great deliverance.
 The festival is ushered in by family service called the seder, at which cer- tain symbolic ceremonials are observed. Each participant--and the lowliest is privileged to sit at the table that night is required to drink four cups of wine
 
 the Eternal to redeem Israel from bond age. On the table, are the unleavened cakes (matzos), the shin-bone of lamb (roasted on the coals), commemorative of the paschal sacrifice, roasted egg, a mixture of apples and nuts, (charoseth), to symbolize the mortar with which the Egyptians made bitter the lives" of the fathers and bitter herbs (maror), reminis- cent of the unhappy days in Egypt. In song and story the tales of the op- pression and the delverance is re- iearsed Psalms of thanksgiving HalleD, strike the keynote of the happy occa- sion. The services, interrupted for the family dinner, close with number of merry folk-songs, expressive of the char acter of the celebration.
 During the festival, unleavened bread is eaten instead of the usual leaven. In orthodox homes great care is taken that all traces of leaven be removed before the beginning of the festival. Sets Of dishes, otherwise unused, are provided
 Services are held in the synagodue on the first and seventh days of the Pass over. At Temple Emanu-El pr. M. New held conducteu siloit ueNo'ohai 'ei V ice without a sermon yesterday evening at o'clock The main services of the first day of Passover will be conducted this morning at 10:30 o'clock, at which services Rabbi Newfeld will preach the Passover sermon.
 The choir of Temple Emanu-E -El-always enc of the best in the city-has prepared an elaborate musical programme for all the services.

Hereafter all felony criminal cases arising within the police Jurisdiction of Birmingham will be referred to the county courts, according to resolu- tion adopted yesterday afternoon by the Board of Commissioners. The net effect of the resolution will be to re- move many cases from the recorders $ court
 In the past it has been a custom to arrest felony offenders in the city and grant them a preliminary trial before the recorder, thus clogging the record CTS court to such an extent that there was endless delay and much work with no revenue.
 Judge Lane, commissioner of justice, points out that the work properly be- longs to the county courts, which tribunals collect the fees and that properly there they should be handled.
 The resolution follows:
 "Whereas, by the terms of the act of the legislature of Alabama providing for the creation of a commission form of government in all cities in Alabama having a population of 100000 or more,
