THE MACHTNISTS
 DISCUSS STRIKE
PRESIDENT OF No. 2 cRlTlcIsEs ACTION OF SALISBURY MAcHlN- IsTS AND SAYS THE BlRMlNG- HAM STRIKE IS STILL ON.

The action of the Salisbury machin- ists was discussed by labor leaders here yesterday and the card which follows ex- plains itself:
 To Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Please allow us space in the columns of The Age-Herald to make clear to the public and all machinists throughout the Birmingham district the action taken by one Joe H. James and colleagues at Salisbury, N. C., in declaring the strike off at that point is altogether uncon- stitutional and without authority, as the following communication from Hon. Jo- seph ONConnell. president of the Inter- national Association of Machinists, pro- vides:
 T desire to make known in your section that the strike is still on with the South ern Railway Company and that the &C., tion of MT. James and his followers was solely independent of the other union ma chinists; that it's was without the au- thority of the Grand Lodge or consent of the men or the lodges on the South ern Railway system.
 MT. James has proved himself NTdilOE tO OuA hSboSldliOh d1lo du clCnHy to his fellow tradesmen. You will, there fore, spare no pains in advertising the said Joseph H. James, the former presi- dent of Lodge No. 136, at Salisbury, N. C., and few of his followers who held trump meeting at Salisbury and de- clared the strike off at that place. This action was taken without giving chance to any one who was opposed to the move ment to be present at the meeting and express any opposition to the action taken by the said James and his follow CTS, and those who were present to op- pose the proceedings were immediately shut down upon by him. and from every indication it was premeditated affair which James has been engineering for some time. His action in declaring off the strike at Salisbury is most ununion- like and brands him as being unworthy the confidence and respect of union men. He has proven himself untrue to our as- sociation and the best interests of our craft throughout the country.
 "The strike on the Alabama Great Southern and the Southern Railway sys- tenn is still on, and all flrst-class machin- ists are advised to stay away until a set clement is effected through the Grand Lodge and voice of all local lodges.

WOMAN ACCUSED OF
 GETTING POCKETBOOK
Mrs. J. A. Hall Loses Purse In the Toilet Room at the Union
 Passenger Station.

Mrs. Sarah Wiedman was arrested Monday night by Policeman Oldham on a charge of larceny of pocketbook from Mrs. J. A. Hall. which, 1t is said, con tained about $10. She made bond to appear Thursday before Judge Feagin, when she will be represented by Judge Abernathy.
 Mrs. Wiedman Is said to live in Bes- semer. Both of the women were in the toilet room of the Union passenger sta tion Monday night and when Mrs. Hall came out she missed her purse. She does not know whether she dropped it or whether 1t was taken from her. A careful search of the place was made without any trace of the purse being found.
 It Is alleged that soon afterwards Mrs. Wiedman went into the toilet rooms and just after she left the purse was dis covered on the floor. This led to her arrest. Mrs Hall will return Thursday to prosecute the case.

Molly Pitcher" !"

Tonight, tomorrow matinee and tomor- row night Kathryn Kidder will present her new play, .sMollie Pitcher" at the Jefferson Theatre. In commenting on the acting of Miss Kidder and her company the Memphis Commercial, Appeal of yes terday said:
 There are three people who are dis tinctly good - Miss Kidder, Miss Oliver and Mir Lonergan. Miss Kidder has done many things to commend her. In such a part she Is delightful. She knows so well how to exercise her peculiar talents in characters of this sort that her Mol lie Pitcher, laying aside all historical ref erence to accuracy, is one of the best impersonations she has yet given because there Is so much more expressed. She seems to haT found in her new play a popular success and a money maker. Her friends therefore congratulate her.

but no action was taken relative to its location as 1t will depend on the report of MT. Gray.
 The resolution regarding the branch sewers was as follows:
 Resolved, That 1t is the sense of the commission, that the commission should build from the main, or trunk line of sewers built by it. branch lines to the corporate limits of every municipality within reach, at the expense of the county, and that these branch lines and connections be built as soon as the trunk line Is completed below the point where the several connections are to be made, as soon as the municipalities have com pleted a sewerage system to the corpor- ate limits with which to connect

New Idea In Advertising.

Much curiosity was caused last night by a large search light which threw its rays all over Birmingham. lighting up parts of the city for many blocks. The light was on the roof of the Auditorium thea tre. which was opened Monday night as a vaudeville house by Mir R. coley An derson. The searchlight Is only one of MT. Anderson's progressive ideas which he will introduce in Birmingham for the advertisement of his house.
 The bill this week at the Auditorium includes Pauline Hall. the famous opera singer, in selections from her former successes; Mazuz and Mazett, the Brakeman and the Tramp; Howe. Wal len and Walters, musical comedians; Forester and Floyd song and dance team; Woodfords Monkey Circus and Whistling Tom Brown.
 At both performances yesterday there was a large attendance. and that Man ager R. Coley Anderson has struck the popular chord of amusement for the theatre-goers of this city there Is no questionable doubt. The performance last night went with a smoothness that was pleasing and all the performers seemed in fine spirits and each gave their en- tertainm ent with a dash and vigor that elicted the heartiest applause from all present.

 A good audience witnessed last night at the Jefferson tuneful comedy opera, and it was as genteel as it was tunefuL The leading actors in it, too, could sing, and the choruses were well trained. The best feature of the opera was It's quiet melody, which was rarely lacking. There were so many clever, catchy songs that 1t is not easy to pick out the best one, but the Quail Song in the first act in troducing Marguerite sylya as Bob White, was particularly pleasing. At least a dozen other songs were warmly received, and every part of the comedy was appreciated. The stage setting of the last act brought out applause before a word had been uttered. It was a repre- sentation of a summer home on the Hud- son.
 It is scarcely necessary to mention the plot of comedy opera. Two young mill lionaires lose an election bet and are doomed to spend a season on dairy farm as tramps and laborers. To that farm comes a society belle and at the farm is the Quarker farmers daughter. The two millionaire tramps furnish the fun of the. opera, and the two girls sup ply the sentiment. Frank Deshon. as Billie Van Million" did much excellent work, and Marguerita Sylva's songs were all encored, and so were tho songs that Miss Campbell sang as Goldenrod.
 The opera was clen, tuneful and pret- ty throughout. There was & vein of deli cacy in 1t, and every act developed new harmonies that tickled the ear. The eyes of the audience were not neglected and when the curtain went down on Miss Bob White" everybody felt that the entertainment had been satisfactory.
