LITTLE COMMENT ON
 T|DEWATER MERGER
Petitions Asking That Line Be Taken Over Cite Ger
 tain Advantages

Little comment was heard in regard to the proposed merger of the Tidewater lines with the Birmingham. Railway, Light and Power company yesterday.
 A petition was filed by the majority bondholders of the Tidewater lines. with the public service commission Friday, asking for the consolidation of the two systems. Under an act passed by the last legislature the consolidation of such public utilities is allowed, provided the consent of the Alabama public service commission is obtained. That body has set October 2 as the date at which the hearing will be conducted.
 The Tidewater lines have been in the hands of a receiver for the past two years and has never been paying prop osition.
 At the present time there is no trans fer agreement between the Tidewater and Birmingham Railway Light and Power the consolidation of these two lines would afford the patrons of each company to use transfers. The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company employees are unionized and under a recent agreement were given an advance in pay. This con- dition would apply to the street car men now in the service of the Tidewater, upon verdict being rendered by the public service commission allowing the merger.

NORMAL CONDITIONS AGAIN PREVAILING Danger of Railroad Strike
 Considered Past and En- bargOes Removed

The passage of the Adamson bill by the Senate late yesterday afternoon set- tied the strike situation locally as we'll as everywhere else. Embarboes have been lifted by all railroads operating out of this city. E. F. Stovall, general agent of the Illinois Central and Central of Georgia, announced that the embargo on all classes of freight had been lifted by the roads he represents Saturday at noon, effective immediately. All other. roads received orders to lift the embargoes yesterday.
 Among those prominent in railroad af-' fairs, the strike is now looked on as almost impossible. Extensive plans had been made by the railroads as well as the brotherhoods to conduct campaigns in their interest in case of strike. Code messages have been received by all the brotherhoods here giving official notice that there would be no strike. Q
 The Turn Verein hall had been rented by the brotherhoods to hold two daily sessions in case of a strike. A meeting of the Brotherhood of Railroad Conduc. tors is scheduled to take place this aft ernoon at o'clock at Fraternal hall. It Is not thought the strike will be discussed at this meeting now that 1t has been averted.
 Owing to the embargoes that had been placed on certain classes of freight great crowds of shippers were busy yes terday trying to get the railroads to move their stuff. Congested conditions will. in all probability. prevail for a few days on account of the temporary tic up of the last two days. Numerous travellers who had fured on returning home before the official strike was de- clared cancelled their tickets and reserva- tions yesterday. Owing to the unusual demand for transportation 1t would have been a problem for tho railroads to havN handled the large crowd which contem4 plated leaving.
 Preparations of the brotherhoods as well as the railroad men in the event of strike, have not been totally abandoned. although it is now known that the strike situation will be settled amicably

 And among the many splendid plays you saw during the winter, what did you like best?' I asked, growing reminiscent of the wonderful attractions that l saw during my last visit.
 MT. Galesworthy's Justice, Miss Warren replied without a moments he's itation. "The critics and the professional people, unanimously agreed that it was the most artistic production of the sea- son. Jack Barrymore's acting was the greatest achievement of his theatrical career l loved The Unchastened Woman, too. Emily Stevens, although so unlike Mrs. Fiske, who is her aunt, is to me great artist. These two plays stand out above all the others that l saw during the season.
 "The opera? That's different proposi- tion,' Miss Warren said, "but when tell you that I stood in line three hours one evening before I could even get into the Metropolitan opera house to hear Geral- dine Farrar, Caruso, Amato, and Aida in Carmen, and then stood three hours during the performance. you must know that I am fond of music also.'

lM1Iss LEWIS WARREN has s, eyes $ patch of forget-me-n and red gold hair that holds the sunlight or some summer land.
 You'd know just to look at her that she comes from a long line of big-hearted, warm hearted, southern ancestors, who never felt the icy touch of snow in their faces.
 She doesn't really belong in a newspa- per story, although she's ornamental enough to decorate any front page; l mean in newspaper story about theatri- calls and people who do things" and all that sort of stuff; she seems rather to belong to that part of the paper that has to do with belles and beaux, and pink teas, and rose-colored parties, in which environment, since she was wee bit of child, she has been conspicuously shin ing light.
 Yet. this lovely Virginia girl who has been feted and admired by scores. and whose popularity has been dominant all though she hasn't even yet made her for Alo- DOW tO ooSiCls, Ado iiau tiO AAiNtiiio ton, and better still, has found the time in her busy life to devote many hours to serious work-to. the things that count, intellectually and materially, and in the finding has laid the foundation of big things which she means to accomplish.
 And it hasn't been easy. either, for while there are scores of things that young women may do nowadays that sound like poetry, they really work like prose.
 There's settlement york; for in- stance, that fashionable auction" play CTS love to think would be perfectly fas- cinating;" there's Red Cross work on the border that suggests realms of romance' for the debutante; there's the old reliable woman suffrage" and it, you know, is a wonderful cause;" and last. but not least. the stage" which holds out alluring possibilities for those who view it from this side of the foot lights, but for whom, often, the glamour Is lost, when it comes right down to the everyday hard work of it.
 | Miss Warren is an exquisite type for the stage; her tall, graceful figure, her delicate pink-and- face, cameo cut, and her slender, youthful lines that suggest the becomingness of girlish frllls
