NO REPORT ON THE
 STEEL MERGER

Washington, February 22.-1n view of the controversy which the report of the sub committee to investigate the merger of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company and the United States Steel corporation is certain to proVoke' the Senate committee on Judiciary to- day put the whole question over until Wednesday afternoon when a special session will be held to give it consid- eration. There was no discussion or the findings of the subcommittee which were that the President sane tioned the absorption of the Tennessee company without authority of law, and that the merger was In violation of the Sherman antitrust law.
 If all the democratic members of the committee should favor the adoption of the report, it Is believed the d1vislon for and against it will be about equal, and that the contest In the committee will prevent a report being made to the Senate at the present session.
 Representative Gaines of Tennessee today introduced a resolution directing the United States attorney for the Southern district of New York to sub init to the grand jury all the informa- tion and evidence obtainable which tends to show probable cause to believe that the merger made by the United States Steel corporation and the Ten- nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany was violation of the anti trust law.
 The resolution also requests the United States district judge for the Southern district of New York to charge the grand jury to investigate the merger.

MajestIc-VaudeviIIe.

The bill at the Majestic this week is one of decided variety, one made up of entertainers of par excellence and one that is certainly entertaining. Judging as whole it Is one of the most sat- isfactory shows of the season at the little vaudeville house.
 hilarious musical trif1e Sign That Book" presented by Frank Orth, trick pianist, and Harry Fern in the makeup of a messenger boy, Is fea ture of the bill. The skit is unquestion- ably one of the most Imaginable acts seen in Birmingham in many day. The rich comedy and clever music contained in 1t go to make up most entertain ing feature.
 Le Compt, who pleases to call him. self the Wizard of Fire" has an act that is truly astounding. While Le Compt performs a number of remark able stunts in fire eating his most won derful Is that of biting off the ends of two cartoons electrically heated to a temperature, according to his own statement, of 6000 degrees Fahrenheit.
 Jimmie Wall is one of the most fin ished blackface entertainers imaginable. His original style, ridiculous makeup and clever comedy and singing made great hit last night.
 The Alarcon trio Mexican street singers, dancers and mandolin players" of considerable talent and ability. pre- sent an attractive act.
 Elizabeth Le Mont is a lyric soprano. i Her voice is one of wonderful range and splendid quality. Miss Le Mont completely carried her audience away last night in her rendition of Way Down Upon the Sewanee River" and her other songs were enthusiastically received.
 MT. Stranger" a very clever comedy drama skit presented by Goldwin Pat ton and his company, is the headliner of the bill The stage setting of the act Is splendid and the skit Is excep- tionally clever MT Patton's interpre tation of Mister Stranger" is very creditable piece of dramatic work
 Leo Carillo Is one of the cleverst lit tie fellows who has been introduced to Birmingham theatregoers yet. Mir Carillo is delightfully."- natural and is an entertainer of the first water. He is a Chinese mimic and general en- tertainer and his Italian speech on George Washington is wonder.
 The Four Musical Hodges present an act made up of instrumental music. The act pleased last nights audience at the Majestic.

At the Gayety.

The Gayety theatre Is fortunate in re- ceiving such a popular burlesque com pany as Al Reeves Big Beauty Show"
 Yesterday afternoon and night two large and appreciative audiences filled the house to it's seating capacity and were delighted with the two burlettas and vaudeville which comprised enough acts for almost any exclusively vaudeville theatre. Tho chorus is of goodly size and Is one of the best drilled, best sing ing and best dancing companies seen at the Gayety this season.
 Clever people are embraced In the cast and keep the audience in good mood from the time the curtain rises on the first act until it drops on the last Al Reeves Big Beauty Show is in the shape of a musical comedy in two parts and is called "The Merry-Go-R Rounds" Edwin Morris and Henry Shappell are playing the principal roles. Miss Jean Lansford as Nezz Brinkley possesses a good voice as well as q beautiful figure and she is especially clever as Mrs. Watkins, the rich widow Miss Almeda Fowler render ing her dance in the first and last acts. was one of the biggest features of the evening.
 Reeves himself took part in the last act and his humor kept the audience in an uproar Adel Palmer and Ed Morris in ''The Ice Man. were good. Ward and shappell gave comedy skit, 'The Keep CT and the Lunatic," which made de- cided hit Burt Burton and Jordan in their eccentric musical comedies give a Imaginable performance. In the last act the chorus gives a lively whirl to the Merry Go Rounds" Al Reeves company is without doubt one of the best shows

"The Gambler of the west.r

The Bijou theatre is offering its patrons this week what may be termed lad vanced' melodrama. meaning thriller that is built with the idea of crowding all the strenuosity into five acts that the nerves of spectators and auditors will stand. Owen Davis is the author of The Gambler of the West" which was pre- scented at the Bjou last night for the opening performance of what is destined to be a weeks engagement with the usual matinees. A great many Owen Davis melodramas have been seen In Birmingham, but "The Gambler of the Vest is in several respects the most sen sational of his works yet presented to a palpitating public.
 The scenes of the play are laid in Wyoming and the local color is spread on in great splashes. There are Indians, cow boys and other characteristic types in profusion. The action is at all times highly concentrated and of a nature to lift the hair from ones scalp, especially if he is a gallery god leaning over the top rail with bulging eyes and heart that throbs in unison with that of the heroine. It seems a shame to spoil an idyllic story by telling all the details in cold newspaper type, after it has been untolded In the lurld scenario or The Gambler of the West" It is enough to say that the plot has to do with the adventures of young girl searching the west for a lost S-year-old brother. She is forced into a marriage by the williams and is persecuted in an fnconceivable manner until the lost brother is dis covered in the last act in the person of a supposed small Indian warrior. The finale is accomplished only after shoot ings encounters, lassoings, the hurling of bowie knives, an attempt to burn the heroine at the stake, a stage hold-up, a prairie fire, desperate battles and other interesting events. It cannot be denied that there is plenty of excitement in "The Gambler of the Vest and some comedy, also.
 The play Is admirably staged, as Is usual with the better meodramas. The vivid and picturesque scenes of the west as it Is pictured by melodraInatists, are faithfully reproduced. Among the scenes are the Aurora bar in Wyoming, exterior of Red Foxs wigwam, the prairie, the prairie fire, Indian camp on Tower hill and other scenes.
 The company is rather better than the average melodrama organization. George Kennedy takes the role of the gambler, Charles F. Keane is Mike Clancy, John c. Leischman is Red Fox. Eleanor Jen- nings is Mabel Grey, from the east.

TO ARCTIC ON SNOWSHOES.
Will Blaze New Way for Hunters in
 Canadian Wilderness.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 Harry V. Radford, scientific traveller Friday night told in detail of his plans to travel through 5000 miles of wilderness on snowshoes. That distance, he says, is more than Stanley travelled in Africa and more than any other explorer ever covered. Radford was about to start a journey to the arctic regions. He said he will eat nothing but raw meat and fish, and told how he intended to make the trip from Edmonton, Canada, by new route to the Arctic ocean. He said that the experience will be a novel one for him, as his travels, though extensive, never have been through such wild coun- try.
 My trip will be doubly difficult" he said "because it will be made entirely on snow shoes and without the compan- ionship of living being. except four or five Indians and the sled dogs. We will live almost entirely on uncooked meat of such game as l may shoot. There may also be some fish food, if I have oppor- tunities for angling. We will take with us emergency rations of chocolate and matted milk, but these will be used only at intervals
 From Edmonton to Great Slave Lake is distance of 1900 miles, all of which must be covered on snow shoes. We will sleep in our furs right in the snow, with out anything over our heads. This will be new to me, as l never before have penetrated far into snow bound coun- tries. Should we reach Great Slave Lake safely, we will try to continue across the barren lands to the Arctic ocean, along which we will go to the mouth of the Yukon river. Then we'll attempt to en- ter Alaska, and, if successful, will cross Boring Straits into Asia where I hope to hunt big game for a time
 The journey will be over groapd part of which never has been covered by a white man. New trails may be opened, and the way should be paved for the en- trance of sportsmen Into a territory abounding in moose, wood bison, musk oxen, and other American big game. At the mouths of the arctic rivers trout

 Officers who had in custody Avery Blount, charged with the murder of three members of the Breland family in Tan giapahoa parish several weeks ago. were on another passenger train which passed south few minutes before No. 31.

LABOR LEADERS CASE
 ID THE HIGHEST COURT
tF IT FAILS IN THE COURT OF
 APPEALS
May Be Necessary to Carry 1t to the
 Court of Public Opinion.

Washington. Oct 2s-Gompers. ican Federation of Labor, who were sentenced by Justice Wright to jail for terms of twelve, nine and six months, respectively, for contempt in the injunction proceedings of the Bucks Stove and Range company, of St. Louis. will file an application in the United States supreme court, in the event the district court of appeals sustains the action of the trial court. An editorial by Mir. Gompers in the November issue of the American Fed erationist makes statement to that effect. It says: What ever the de- cision of the court of appeals may be. 1t must ultimately lead 10 a victory for labor. and a victory for labor will mean a victory for all the people. Should the court sustain the appeal and annul the sentences. it will main- tain beyond question the right of free speech and a free press. If it should sustain the decision of Justice Wright it will simply mean that the appeal must be taken to the highest court in the land to obtain the final determin- ing word as to the judicial conception of the existing constitutional guaran- tees.
 Even should the highest judicial tribunal in the country fail to main- tain the right of free speech and a free press. there is still higher court the court of public opinion"
