DEFERRED ACTION
 ON LIGHTING PLANT
BOARD OF EDUCATION WILL SET TILE THE MATTER AT A MEET ING TO BE HELD SATURDAY AT NOON.

After general discussion in which both sides of the question were carefully in- yestgated the Board of Education yes- terday deferred action on the matter of installing an electric fighting plant in the High school until a, ..her meeting, which will be held Saturday at noon.
 This was decided in order to allow fur ther investigation into the advisability of such a movement by the members of the board Representatives of the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company were present to give figures and show the advantages of using current from the main power house of the company
 w. D. Tynes of the Hardie-Tynes com pany and H. J. Davis of the Moore & Handley Hardware company were also present to discuss the matter with the board. The architect and contractor were both present.
 After hearing the arguments advanced on both sides of the question the board decided to take no action until the mem bers had further opportunity to consider the matter.
 As the main auditorium will be used often at night, it is thought that much current will be used. A private plant might be used in the education of the pupils in the mechanical department, and on the other side of the question, the electric company claims that current can be furnished by it at low rates with little inconvenience

Louis James.

Plays may come and plays may go, but like Tennyson's brook, "Virginius," goes on forever" It is now eighty-fve years since this capital play was first produced, and while the vacillatng tastes of the public has changed many times In that period, like the rock of Gibraltar. it has stood the test, and came out of the ordeal triumphant Aside from Shakespeare, "virginus" Is today the best Roman trag- edy before the public either in literature or the drama, hence the reason for its continuous success and popularity
 With such a vehicle. combined with its own popularity and histrionic merit. there Is little wonder at the success that has rewarded the revival of "Virginius'' by Louis James. Mir. James will be at the Jefferson theatre next Monday and Tues day, with Tuesday matinee. The repertoire has been arranged as follows: Monday, '.Virginius;" Tuesday matinee. "Ingo- mar" and Tuesday night, "Richlieu."
 The sale of seats will commence this morning.

REPUBLIC CO. ID
 ..HAVE NEW HEAD Frank RaChuS to Succeed Alexis
 w. Thompson JOHN W. GATES CONTROLS 1t Is Predicted That MT. Gates Will Attempt to Merge the Large Indus
 trail Corporations of tho
 Birmingham District.

Frank Bachus will succeed Alexis w.. Thompson as president of the Republic Iron and Steel company.
 At the annual meeting of the stock holders on Wednesday next the control of the company will pass to John w.. Gates and associates. and it is now an- nounced that MT. Gates board will elect MT. Bachus president.
 Mr. Gates has been large stockholder in the Republic for some time past, but he only recently acquired a majority hold ing.
 Mr. Bachus, the executive head-to-be, is at present an official of the American Steel and Wire company. A few years ago he visited Birmingham and ever since has kept himself informed on the iron and steel industries of the district.
 The coming change In the control of the Republic company has been freely discussed in business circles here this week. Many persons prominent in the industrial world predict that MT. Gates will shortly attempt to merge the large corporations of the Birmingham district.
 Said well known local financier last night: MT. Gates Is one of the boldest and most resourceful men now in the public eye. He has proved his ability to carry out gigantic schemes. He is not easily baked. And, as he Is known to cherish an ambition to head a great con- cern that would be a formidable rival to the United States Steel trust, l look for him to control the Iron and steel situation in the Birmingham district. l have never thought that a merger would be the best thing for Birmingham, but if MT. Gates should be able to unite the Tennessee company. the Sloss-Sheffield' the Republic and the other large furnace concerns 1t would mean the investment of millions of new capital in the develop ment of the steel industry in this dis trict."

ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE BIJoU.
"The Fortune Teller"

''The Fortune Teller" at the Jefferson theatre last night proved to be stale. fiat and unproftable. Grace Orr Myers sings well. She has a good voice, though 1t Is a trife thin, and the music of 'The Fortune Teller" is remembered for It's tunefulness, but the glores of Alice Mel san's production of the opera were lack ing last night. The scenery and costumes were much the worse for wear. The sup porting company was strong enough numerically, but was imbued with a woodenness that seemed to deaden the en- tire performance. Structurally, the chorus girls were acceptable. but their singing ability was not conspicuous While Miss Myers is a prima donna of decided ability. so far as her vocal powers are concerned, she is deficient in the art of acting.

 "Yes, the Illinois Central is backing this new road. Captain White here knows all the details of the organization of that company" replied MT. Harahan.
 "Is the Illinois Central going to build line from Corinth, Miss, to Haleysville, Ala.?''

Besides being suspended for ten days for violence in arresting John Williams, a negro, Policeman w. A. Smith will have to contribute s to the eity's eoffers as a fine imposed in the police court yester- day by Judge Feagin. Had the police com mission dismissed the charge against Smith the case in court would doubtless have been dismissed, as 1t was postponed to await the commissions action.
 Policeman Smith is the officer who had trouble in arresting Williams on the night of September 16. He claims the negro was stealing a ride on an Idlewild car, and
