"The Mississippi Warrior barge

Brent, general manager of the
Mississippi Warrior system, who
spent all day Thursday in Birming-

the terminals at port of Birming-

at.
1.-The first thing for US to do, of
course, is to formulate and arrange
what we consider fair divisions of
the through rail and water rates
and then call for the conferences
with the railroad executives that
the commission has suggested. If
the railroads should prove recalci-
trant, which does not appear likely
under the commissions decision,
we have the commissions invita-
ton to go directly to it with our

That the principle of a fair division
of through rates is clearly laid down
by the commission. He and Mr.. Brent
also agree that in failure to specify
fair divisional rates the commission
has followed precedent in other
cases, where, after laying down the
principle of action. the contending
parties have been instructed to try
to arrange details by conference with
provision for coming back to the
commission in case of failure to eff

Speaking of the Industrial canal
at New Orleans, Mr.. Brent said the
self-propelled barge Tuscaloosa was
admitted through it this week and
unloaded her cargo at the Bienville
wharf, where she took on a cargo
for Birmingham. THE canal has not
been formally opened" said Mr..
Brent, the trip of the Tuscaloosa
through it being rather in the way
of demonstration. Formal opening
is TO be held this spring with great
eclat President Harding has been
invited to be the guest of honor.
''The canal saves transfer of

There is great disappointment on
the part of all southern members of

by withholding a rule, made it prac-

If conditions respecting the Henry

Doomsdorf promptly takes Ned and

JAKE APPEAL FOR { RELIGIOUS DRIVE
Metbodists Ask for Intensive
 EYanSelistic Effort

Chicago, March 16.-"The call to repentance has never been revoked says the board of bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church in an appeal for an intensive evangellstic effort on the part of all members of the church, issued March I3 by the committee on conservation and ad- vance through it's corresponding sec- retary, Dr. R. J. Wade, Chicago.
 "The unsaved multitudes are as destitute of the gospel and a per sonal interest in the atonement of Jesus Christ as the far-off heather for whose salvation we give and pray" says the appeal.
 Shall not bishops, superintendents pastors, college presidents. league leaders, Sunday school teachers, lay men and all our loyal members dedf- cate themselves to some definite form of soul-winning endeavor?
 Shall we not now give ourselves without reserve to an intensive evangelistic effort? That will mean that our pulpits shall flame with an evangelistic passion: that our pews shall eaten the ITe. It VIII Hlcdi the members of our women's missionary societies shall turn their ....v.ulnary organization talent and boundess enthusiasm into the chan nels of personal evangelism. It will mean, that for season, all the forces of the local church shall be focused upon this one thing, and be fired by
 me dominating purpose and pas- sion.
 .tl we not go in for prayer tu., systematic, passionate, unyield- ing movement to arouse the church and the community to sense of their spiritual need? Shall we not pray without ceasing and labor with actual desperation for the mightiest revival of religion which has ever come to our church?
 That revival should start in 30,- 900 Methodist Episcopal services.
 And it must not cease until it's power has been carried everywhere"
