RAMSAY TO GO ON TRIP WITH
 ENGINEERS THROUGH EUROPE


 The party of experts will be accorded the rarest privileges in the countries they visit to study the mines and conditions there. The various officials of the coun- tries they visit will know of the official standing of the members in Washington and every courtesy will be extended the party.
 In speaking of the proposed trip, MT. Ramsay who will be the only Birming- ham man in the party, said yesterday:
 "The invitation to make this trip came from pr. Holmes of the bureau of mines, who said that he was well acquainted with the fact that the Birmingham coal operators were exerting every energy to modernize their mines and prevent If possible any explosions. We have been the hosts of European experts here and he suggested that party from America make an exhaustive study of conditions abroad. There will not be any time for play in the trip. The members fully un- derstand that the mines will be examined with the closest attention to detail anc we will try to gather some new data thai | is not possible in America It is useless to say that we are even with those coun- tries in mine operations. They have been at it so long and we hear so little that they can teach us the first principles.
 "The party will sail for New York about June IA if everything turns out well. We will perhaps return to th.s country in three months

ROOSEVELT SPOKE
 0F MERGER HERE
Told Local Men That He Was Willing to Testify
 At Any Time

The announcement that former Presi- dent Theodore Roosevelt would be re- ouested to appear before the Stanley con- eressional committee and give evidence as to the merger of the Tennessee Coal,
 Iron and Railroad company with the Steel corporation, attracted quite a lit tie attention in Birmingham. The evi- dence of the colonel as to the famous purchase to avert a threatened panic will be keenly anticipated in industrial circles everywhere.
 The interest here in the appearance of the colonel is not alone attributed to the local situation of the Tennessee com pany. but also on account of the state ment that Colonel Roosevelt Is quoted as having made here. He said the pur- chase of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company by the Steel corpora ton, following a conference between J. p Morgan and the President, was en- tirely regular He went further and It is reported he said to friends in Birming- ham that wherever he was when the in- vestigation was called he would attend the hearing and testify without legal service.
 "If I am in Bombay or Tokio," the colonel said, T will come back just to tell the committee the exact truth about the proposition"
 Colonel Roosevelt made that statement here to industrial men upon his recent visit upon being asked about that prop osition. He told the local men that no fear need be entertained as to the reg ularity of the purchase or the outcome of the investigation.
 The celebrated incident which is being investigated and which the ex-President is to testify to took place in the White House shortly before the 1907 panic. MT. Morgan asked the President whether he would object to the purchase. It Is stated the colonel told him no. Then It was that MT. Morgan and associates merged the local company and 1t is claimed prevented run on one of New York's largest banks.

IN WEEK OR TEN DAYS

For the directors of the Providence oil and Gas company, Frank Nelson, Jr., president of that corporation, authorized the announcement that his company would begin immediately the construc- ton of a pipe line to Birmingham from l Fayette to be used for the transporta- tion of natural gas to this city. - MT Nelson said that W. H. Hassinger and Wilson Brown, two of the directors of the company. left yesterday for New York, where they will join R. Baker, president of the Texas Central railroad, who Is interested in the company. With in few days the finsncial arrangements will be completed and the company will no doubt break ground In 10 days or two weeks.
 The pipe line to Birmingham has al- ready been authorized by franchise of the city of Birmingham. stipulating that work must begin by July l. It Is stated that the company will not delay the work further, as there is at Fayette a suffi- cent supply of gas to permit of the financing of the pipe line. MT. Nelson said that the field had been established
 
 ambition of the owners to bring in about two more gushers of good size before making an announcement as to the pipe ! line in order to absolve the barest possi- blity of doubt. However. there has de- veloped, it is stated, new features which render the company agreeable to the an- nouncement of the step at this time.
 Actual Work Soon
 MT. Nelson said;
 "The financial arrangements for tho pipe line of the Providence oil and Gaa company have already been made tenta- | lively. However, the details have not been arranged yet. Mir Baker. who is | interested in the company Is in New York where he has been arranging tho pipe line finances He will be joined there tomorrow by w. H. Hassinger and Wilson Brown, two of our directors. who will complete the details of the trans action
 Convinced of Value q anticipate that we will have a mes sage of the consummation In a few days following which there will begin actual work on the construction of the pipe line. We have a sufficient flow of gas to sup ply Birmingham with all that she can use. It will be brought here through the short est route and will be distributed through Birmingham by the Providence oil and | Gas company.
 "The value of the field at Fayette, to my mind, is proven. There Is a tremendous supply of gas there and l see no real good of delaying the construction of the pipe line, Birmingham is in serious need of this natural gas for cheap fuel and the quicker we get 1t here the faster and the bigger will Birmingham grow"
