GASOLINE STORAGE
 TANK MAY BE BUILT
Commission to Consider Data on Question at Con-
 ference Today

Birmingham may enter the gasoline business shortly
 Date, loads of it, numerous prices. and arguments in favor of the erection of a tank for the storage of city gasoline. will be presented to the commission by Purchasing Agent Griffin at the weekly conference of the commission this morn ing.
 The commission, as a whole, is inclined to seriously consider the erection of q a gasoline storage tank. The estimated cost of the reservoir is approximately s10OO
 More than 20 communications from gaso- line and oil concerns throughout the United States have been received by the purchasing department. The lowest price received thus far is 141s cents per gallon at the refinery; 2 cents is considered the maximum freight rate per gallon, making the net price f. o. b. Birmingham 16ls cents.
 The estimated saving that would be made by the city, according to MT. GrIf- fin, would amount to minimum ot s400O per year. Tn the event the price of gasoline goes higher the saving would be much greater.
 The whole matter will be threshed ors and some action taken by the commission this morning.

NEGRO THOUGHT
 DEAD AT BESSIE
 SAFE AND SOUND
No Grape on Will Latimer's DOOr-Twelve Bodies Re-
 covered Yesterday

Rescuers are exploring every passage ill the Bessie mine in search for the bodies of Sam Giles and Sam Taylor tV col ored miners Twelve victims were with drawn from the far entries yesterday morning, but the hunt for the two ne- groes was in vain Their bodies are sup posed to be somewhere in the escape that leads towards Flat Top or in the airway back of the thirteenth right entry.
 In all Bessie there was no happier man than Will Latimer. This colored denlzen of the mining settlement had been the cause of grief. Reports had been given out that he was caught in the far en- tries of the mine and had paid tribute to the deadly damp. One of the agents of the Sloss company wended his way yesterday morning to the house, where. he expected to find crepe on the door, q negro woman with tear-stained face and few dusky survivors. piAgf
 He knocked on the door and inquired if the late Will Latimer had left a brood of children with his surviving widow, and where the bereaved wished his body to be sent. Tn answer to his query, q rather brawny negro admitted that he would take care of Will Latimer's body, inasmuch as that individual was alive and happy. Latimer was supposed to have been killed while working in the fif- teenth entry.
 With the exception of one victim, all the dead were shipped away from Bes- sic for interment in other parts of the state and in Tennessee. Only one colored miner was committed to the earth near the scene of the disaster.
 The rehabilitation of the brattice work was completed yesterday, and 1t is only matter of few days. during which C. H. Nesbitt. state inspector of mines wiii make his investigation, before the miners will go back into the entries and send 2000 tons day of coal to the surface.

 "The rise of industrial stocks have featured the stock market for the past 10 days. Sloss- Sheffield common has kept a steady upward pace, while United States Steel attained it's high est figure.
 'The increases are not without cause. The tremendous earning that the steel and iron companies are showing is the cause for the squirt. The Sloss company will show 20 per cent earnings on the s10,00000O stock when the directors meet in New York on November 30
