 MT Shackelford went to Mobile last night to get in touch with the owners of the schooner which will make that port today. She will close up the details oi the voyage today.

CHANGES ARE MADE
 BY LIBRARY BOARD
In Future Members May Draw Three Books
 at Once

The regular monthly meeting of the li- brary board was held yesterday at the Central Public library and several impor- tant matters acted upon, among them be- ing a new rule in regard to the issuance of cards entitling citizens to the use of the library. Tn the future any person whose name appears in the latest city di- rectory will not be required to secure an indorsement.
 In the past it has been the rule to re- quire every person to secure an acquaint- ance to indorse his membership card. The arrangement now is that every person asking for a card shall be identified, and if his name appears in the directory that will constitute sufficient Identification. If the applicants name does not appear in the directory he will have to secure the signature on his card of some one whose name does so appear.
 Another new rule is one that will en- able any person holding a card in the fu- ture to draw out three books at the same time providing only one of them is fic- tion Renewals on books which the hold CT desires to keep longer than the time limit may be made by telephone or by post card doing away with the necessity of special trip to the library.
 Other new rules lately put in force at the library to improve the service of the institution include:
 Non-residents may secure all the priv ileges of the library payment of s1 per year
 A special teachers card will be issued to any school teacher requesting it. On this card six books may be taken at one time, and kept for 2S days. provided the books are for serious study or for class room use, and can be spared
 Books, other than fiction, will be re- served for borrowers on the payment of 1 cent for postal card notification. The notices will be mailed as soon as the books are available, and the books will be held until S:30 D. m. of the second day following the sending of the notice
 duplicate rent collection of very pop- ular books is maintained for the conven- fence of readers. A charge of l cent per day Is made for the use of books in the collection, payable when they are re- turned. Three books may be borrowed al one time No books are put on rent shelves that are not also put on the free shelves. The collection is self-supporting
 Written suggestions of books for pur- chase are wanted and will be considered carefully.

 THE b[ACKFR|ARS
University of Alabama Tal- ent to Present "She StOOps
 to Conquer" Tonight

The Blackfriars, the dramatic organiza- tion of the University of Alabama, will present at the Jefferson theatre tonight Goldsmith's classic, "She Stoops to Con quer."
 In the coming of the talented college or ganization there has been much inter ested speculation. Advance notices have declared that the company is unusually clever, and that the wit and humor and droll philosophy of the old play will be retained intact and presented as capaby by the young stars as by older and more experienced before the footlights.
 University alumni. naturally, have been interested in the coming of the univer- sitys dramatic organization. But this in- terest has not been limited to that circle which once stood beneath the ivied walls of the old institution. The event is des- tined to be a society event. When Frs kline Ramsay took box for the perform ance yesterday afternoon he was the last of a large number who had done like wise. It is understood that from Tusca- loosa many warm supporters of the uni yersity will come, and that other nearby towns will contribute their quota. A large and overflow attendance is antlci- pated, and that the play will please is generally believed.
 The boys and girls who play the roles of the characters of the play are Alabama boys and girls, and practically every coun- ty of the state is represented in the cast. Tickets are on sale at the box office Of the Jefferson theatre. Reservations may be made this morning.

Quiet Negotiations With Re- public and Woodward Will, It Is Thought, Be
 Undertaken
MARKS RESUMPTION OF MERGER PLANS OF
 A FEW YEARS AGO
Report Now Connects These Com- panies With Proposal to Merge the Sloss Company and the
 Gulf States Steel
 Company

The negotiations that were recently started to merge the Sloss- Sheffield and the Gulf States companies were said yes- terday to have taken on new coloring and that perhaps two additional companies will be involved in the proposed consolida- tion.
 The plans mentioned sometime ago for merging the two above named companies with the Republic and Woodward com panies. have again come up and 1t is stated that some Birmingham men in- terested in the proposed merger will leave Tor New York in the next few days. When the first steps were taken a few years ago it was then decided that the time was not ripe and after negotiations had progressed to a considerable extent they were abandoned. Since that time nothing of any consequence has taken place.
 However 1t Is known that Col. J. c. Maben of the Sloss-Sheffield is very anxi- ous to sell his interest or merge it with other interests This desire, it is said, led Colonel Maben to suggest the merger with the Gulf States and that line was worked upon recently, and is being continued.
 In addition to the desire of Colonel Maben to sell his holdings it is widely known that the owners of the Republic recognize that they are rather far away from base in this district and would like to get some company to take over the Birmingham operations and let the Re- public concentrate all its work in the northern fields.
 During the administration of Col. James Bowron most flattering showing has been made by the Gulf States company yet it is realized by some well informed industrial men that this company would not be injured if consolidated with an other concern, thus providing means and channels of greater efficiency and the consequent reduction on the cost sheets This idea it is said has trickled into New York and is being considered by those men who when it comes to the last analysis have tho control.
 Besides the foregoing features of this latest merger proposal the Woodward company is said to be in an attitude of 'watchful waiting.' and would not resist very strenuously any favorable overtures for satisfactory merger. That com pany is exceptionally independent It has coal and ore Of unusual value which are available at low production cost. However, the company is carrying large acreage of unproductve lands and at rather heavy cost, it is said It has been suggested that if the Wood ward company could get in position to utilize it's iron for finished products it's position would be impregnable.
 The officials of the companies interest," ed in this series of reports are not at all willing to discuss the proposal. However, those who are accustomed to quickly observe the shifting of the scenery are expecting with some degree of con- fidence that the negotiations will be worked out finally to the advantage of all.
