JUDGE GASTON ASKS
 ABOUT THE STORM"
Says Revolution in City Government Is Interesting to
 Montgomery

Judge Zell Gaston returned from Mont gomery last night, where he had been occupied with legal matters, and the first question he asked on reaching the city was about the extent of damage done Birmingham by the storm. He said tha i. he had heard many incoherent reports of the happenings at home and he was uncertain whether they had to do with a storm or a municipal metamorphoss.
 Judge Gaston said that the people of Montgomery seemed to be much mora interested with the system of commis- sion government as it is being enacted at present in Birmingham than they arc with their own outlook for the same kind of administra ton. He stated that he heard not word of the experiments that have been made in this line in the Capital City and he thinks they may be waiting to see whether the weather clears up towards the north of them.
 Information also brought by Judge Gaston telling of the passage of the Mor- row bill which provides for the four years extension of the present term of Judge Frank Cahalan of the criminal court. The bill went through the house by a majority of II, the vote standing 1T to 36. Judge Gaston stated that he thought this extension would rseult in much benefit to the operation of the courts, in that one experienced man would be on the bench all the time by means of separation of the dates for their cleo ton which has heretofore come abou. simultaneously.

REV. WTSELL OF
 MERIDIAN SPEAKS Sowing and Reaping" Was Yesterdays Topic at
 Advent Meeting

Yesterdays speaker at the monday meetings which are being conducted. at the Church of the Advent during holy week was the Rev. w. N. Postell Witsell of Meridian, Miss. The meeting began promptly at 12:O5 o'clock and continue 25 minutes
 MT. Witsell made an especially strong address on the general topic, Sowing and Reaping' with such application as would make the strongest appeal to the business men who constituted the larger part of the audience His address was based on this text: Be not deceived; God is not mocked; whatsoever a man soweth that shall he reap" He first called attention to the fact that this is observable in nature as well as in morals. If you SOW barley you don't, expect to reap wheat. And so in morals if man sows an immoral life he can hope for nothing but a harvest of corruption
 Mr. Wtsell made a special point of the vice of intemperance and stressed the harvest following an incorporate life. He closed with a reference to the ben efits of sowing good seed and the fruits of a righteous life.
 The meetings will continue through the week, the speakers being:
 Wednesday, the Very Rev. Craik Nor ris, dean of St. Pauls cathedral, Mem phis.
 Thursday, the Rev. Walter Capers. president of Columbia institute, Colum- ba. Tenn.
 Friday Good Friday, the Rev. J. J. Lanier, rector of Grace church, Wood lawn.

RESCUE WORK IS
 NEARING AN END Only Ten Bodies Remain in Mines-Many Visitors
 Are Leaving

Practically all the work of removing
 the bodies of the dead convicts from
 the Banner mine was completed yester- day and by this morning only few scattered bodies remained in the mines
 and these will be removed as soon as possible.
 Late advices from Banner state that 119 bodies have been removed from the
 mines and it is expected that more will be removed early this morning. According to the official figures of the company there are 10 bodies yet in the mine.
 The trains leaving Banner yester- day wer crowded with boctors, miners. and others returning to their homes, end no new developments are ex- pected.
 According to the opinion of most of the men a the mines the incident or the explosion is practically closed. Thc first indication of this was the arrival this afternoon of a batch of prisoners for the prison. There were IS in the party, II of whom are from Jefferson county and the, remaining seven from
 Escambia Chiffon and Tallapoosa counties.
 The officials of the company still refuse to give out the descriptive list of the convicts, stating that this will be done as soon as all me bodies are removed from the mine. Deputy Sheriff Dave Kennybrook came upon gang of negroes search ing the clothing of the dead convicts yesterday morning and a once brok c
 up the gathering. The negroes were
 searching the clothes for money and
 were reaping a rich harvest. Numbers of bodies were shipped
 away from Banner yesterday and more
 will follow today. II is thought that
 all bodies that are to be shipped will
 be disposed of today. It is estimated
 that about S5 of the bodies will be
 prepared near No shaft.
 The tired miners began to rest up a
 bit last night and stretch their ach- ing limbs. Many of them have been constantly at work for the past 2l hours without sleep. All of them were accommodated last night Within a short time the work of re- pairing the mine for re-entering will begin and then it will be only short time until normal conditions are re- stored.
 The first case of an unruy prisoner
 was reported last night when Dr. Ted
 Dridges of Birmingham was forced to
 have J. C. Glover. White prisoner
 from Jefferson county. mt into a cell
 on account of an attack made upon
 him. This is the only instance on rec
 ord and the convicts have worked long
 and faithfully to remove the dead
 bodies of their comrades.

TAFT WILL MEET
 LOCAL DELEGATION Invitation Will Be Extended to President to Attend
 Roads Congress

President Taft will meet the delegation of the good roads advisory board on next Monday, April +, at 10 30 o'clock as has been arranged by Senators John ston and Bankhead, and receive their personal invitation to attend and ad dress the Fourth National Good Roads congress. which meets in Birmingham May 2326.
 This information was received yester- day by Secretary J. A. Rountree in a telegram from Senator Bankhead. The arrangements for this meeting have been made most speedily by the senators from Alabama, following a request wired them to that effect by the executive commit tee of the good roads advisory board, who instructed them to include Ambassa- dor James Bryce and other foreign rep resentatives.
 Immediately following the recept of the telegram the members of the executive committee of the advisory board begun 10 arrange the details of the trip of the Birmingham delegation which will leave for Washington on Saturday night or Sunday morning, arriving in Washing eoi Nhohady iiiolIlHS' &ApOut 10 clllZenS have volunteered to act as members of the delegation and they will go to tho nations capital in a private car
 The executive committee have arranged so that those selected to constitute the delegation shall represent the city gov ernment, Board of Revenue, Jefferson County Good Roads association, Alabama Good Roads association, Chamber of Commerce, Business Mems league Board of Trade and other civic organizations. The details of the meeting will be ar ranged by Senators Johnston and Bank head. who have notified the Alabama del- egation in Congress that they also are n- sited to be included In the delegation.
 The good roads officials and advocate are all very sanguine in their expecta- tlons of President Taft's acceptance of the invitation to attend the Good Roads con eress and they believe that this would mean that many of the congressman will steal away from their congressional duties to enjoy a short vacation here in the sunny south.
 Through Secretary Rountree the Ma tional Good Roads committee yesterday issued an invitation to the speaker of the rouse of representatives of Tennessee to attend the good roads congress in a body, and it is thought that a number of the Tennessee legislators will be in attend ance.
