SPECIAL SESSION OF
 COMMISSION TODAY
Arguments On Use of B. R., l.. & P. Co.'s Tracks By
 Tidewater To Be Heard

At 3 o'clock this afternoon a special ses- sion of the commission will be held to hear arguments by attorneys for and against a proposed ordinance giving the Tidewater Railway company permission to use the downtown tracks of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com pany This meeting has been postponed a couple of times
 Attorney Lee Bradley for the Birmng- ham Railway, Light and Power company and Forney Johnston for the Tidewater it is said, will address the commission. Official information regarding the report that the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company might decide not to con test the contention of the Tidewater in this matter has so far been withheld.
 The ordinance upon which the argu- 1nents are to be based Is to be adopted at the time the commissioners grant the Tidewater company a general franchise for a street railway through the city, which, it Is generally believed, will be done in the near future. For the Tide water to make use of this franchise 1t will be necessary, 1t is said, for them to use the downtown tracks of the Brming ham Railway, Light and Power company at fair rate of remuneration, and this is the question at issue this afternoon.
 The commissioners have refused to be quoted directly, but it is generally be- lieved that they agree that the Tidewater or any other company with a franchise has the right to use these tracks.

JULIAN TALKS ON
 RATE COMPROMISE
Reaffirms That He Was Misled As to Attitude
 of States Counsel

That the governor of Alabama, whose term expires early in 1914, and his attor-
 ney general Robert c. Bricken, signed and were responsible for the recen. rate decision compromise was asserted here yesterday by Frank N. Julian, state rail- road commissioner. Mir. Julian is a can- didate for reelection and was engaged in explaining the rate compromise to his friends yesterday He held an extended conference with his campaign manager for this county, Judge H. B. Abernethy. MT. Julian reaffirmed that he was mis- led as to the opinions of Judge Weakley and MT. Selheimer, the two leading law yers for the state in reference to the rate compromise, and said he could not refuse to sign the compromise after it was made by the states counsel.
 [, II was informed that Judge Weakley and MT. Selheimer had been asked about the case' said Mr. Julian and had given their approval of the rate agreement
 such was not the case. I was as much surprised as any man In Alabama. I be- lieve that the people who had claims against the Louisville and Nashville rail- road for rebates as to passenger fares nave as much recourse in court as they ever had, even though the federal court is said to exempt the Louisville and Nash vile from the payment of the vouchers CTS would scarcely have been paid with out fight and the holders may go into court with the proposition and perhaps stand an even break on the natter

LOCAL ELKS WILL
 STAGE PICTURE
Preliminary Rehearsals Be- gan TOday-HerOine to
 Be Selected March Is

At meeting of the joint committee having in charge the photo play. An Elk's Initiation" which will be staged was decided to secure a Birmingham girl for the part of the leading lady and to that end the committee decided to put that matter on a competitive basis and to give all the girls of the city a chance to star in a movie. All appli- cations must be accompanied by pie ture of the applicant with name and address in full. and addressed to the Sec retary of Elks Lodge, Birmingham. These will be kept in strictest confidence and the selection will be made at the next meeting of the committee March 16
 The picture is being promoted by the Elks lodges of Birmingham and Ensley The incidents wIil include. comedy, path os, sentiment. heart thrills and human interest. Scenes in and around Birmi-s- ham, it's palatial residences and it's man. moth plants will be shown in the prog ress of the play, as we'll views from the Newspaper club, Red mountain and other spots.
 The plot deals with young bachelor surfelted With life, man who has lived for himself alone. He notices the happi- ness of a crowd of children who have been attending the annual Christmas tree of the ElSs as they leave the Elks home loaded with presents. He sees a commit tee from the Elks providing creature comforts for widows and children He decides to join the organization and for the first time in the history of the order the initiation ceremonies are given to pub lie view This section of the picture is uproariously funny At an Elks function he meets a young lady, who spurns his advances, but he induces her to take q trip over the city in an autonobiIe This section will show many beautiful views of the city. An accident at q railroad crossing results in the young couple be- ing taken to a hospital. and when con valescent they fall in love with each other. The wedding bells rig and the picture ends with bride and groom leav- ing the Terminal station on a wedding tour.
 The picture will have special sisnif- cance from the fact that it will be shown in every city in the United States in which is located an Elks lodge and will also be shown at the meeting of the grand lodge of E,lks in Denver in the summer It will be produced on an elaborate scale and no expense will be spared to make the picture a good one.

GREAT LOVE TRAGEDIES


l A good principle to follow is to watch
 most carefully your second marriage, # your first one has been especially happy.
 A woman and a man take an equal 1 chance in this respect, the woman be-
 cause comparisons are bound to be made,
 and a man because he is sure to be more
 exaeting with his second wife than with his first. The experience of Count Rum- l ford presents an excellent example of an | unfortunate second marriage.
 Benjamin Thompson Rumford was an American born and he achieved his title on account of the service he performed for England in Bavaria, after his having been driven to that country from Amer ica during the revolutionary war on ac- count of his adherence to the royal cause
 While teaching school Ut Concord, N H., previously to the revolution he married a wealthy widow, and their union was most happy one After Mrs Rumford No.
 died the count spent an eventful period in diplomatic circles on the continent. In 1895 he married a widow Madame La Yoisier. with whom he was only able to live a very short time.
 Mime. Lavoisier was a truly respectable lady and very wealthy. The cause of their disagreements were many and va rious, vet the marriage was entered into under such favorable auspices that it is surprising that it should have resulted so unhappily. When they were married they were really in love with one an- other, or fancied that they were
 Though Count Rumford was by no means destitute, yet the lady was so much richer and so much in love that she settled upon him a large sum in the marriage contract. This became a sub ject of controversy in their subsequent separation, but the friends who arbitrated in the matter decided in the counts favor, because he had expended eonsid- erable sums upon the house and prem ises which were provided for himself and his wife.
 The counts daughter by his first mar fiage spent most of her life in America. and when he was about to take second wife he wrote to his daughter: "I made the acquaintance of this very amiable woman in Paris, who. l believe, would have no objection to having me for d hus- band, and who in many respects would be proper match for me. She is q widow without children; is about my own age, enjoys good health, is very pleasant

in society, has a handsome fortune al her own disposal and, what is more thar l all the rest, is kindness itself. The first indication of any variance be tween the count and his lady appeared in letter written to his daughter and dated early in 1906 He writes: Madame ! is very fond of society, her house is al- ways open to her acquaintances, and we l pass few evenings without company" The 1 daughter understood how abhorent this would be to her father. The conversa- | ton is continuous he said. "a new meth- cd of spending time
 The first intmation that the daughter had that there was likely to be a sepa- ration was when her father wrote her A short time afterward: "It is not always in my power to render my house agree able to my particular friends, and this puts disagreeable restraint upon me, and l am very much dissatisfied"
 Upon the anniversary of his marriage, on october 24, 1896, he again wrote his daughter: 'I am very sorry to say that experience only serves to confirm me in the belief that in character and nat ural propensities Mime. de Rumford and myself are totally unlike and never ought to have thought of marrying. We are both too independent and too diff terent in our sentiments and habits to live a life together. Very likely she
 
 am toward her. Little it matters to me- but l call her female dragon-simply by that gentle name. We have got to the pitch of my deciding on one thing and she on another. So far from things be- coming better they are becoming worse every day.
 Upon one occasion large party had been invited to the house by Mme. Rum ford for the sole purpose of annoying the count Their house being in the center of a garden and walled around with iron gates, the count went to the porter's lodge and gave him orders to let no one in. When the company ar rived she talked with them. she on one side of the fence and they on the other and to show her revenge Mme Rumford went and poured boiling water on some of the counts most beautiful flowers.
 The last letter the count wrote to his daughter said: "I have the misfortune to be married to one of the most tyran- nical imperious, unfeeling of women that ever existed, and whose perseverance in pursuing an object is equal to her pro- found cunning and wckedness in forming it. It is impossible to continue in this way and we shall separate" Their sepa- ration did take place on June 30, 1909, after which the count wrote to his daugh- ter: .I find myself relieved from an al most unsupportable burden I cannot re- peat too much how happy I am"
