HOWARD TRUSTEES
 MEET HERE FRIDAY
Will Consider Proposition of Merging With Birming-
 ham Medical College

Montgomery, October 7.-(Special)-- Notice has been sent out by James B. Ellis of Selma, president of the board of trustees of Howard college of Bir- mingham, calling a meeting of the board in Birmingham on Friday, Oc- tober II. for the purpose ofzconsider- ing the proposition of merging the Birmingham Medical college and How ard college.
 The question of merging these two institutions has been under consider ation for some weeks. though 1t is un- derstood that no definite steps have yet been taken looking to the consolida- tion.
 Just what action will be taken at the Birmingham meeting is not known, though it is supposed that there will be considerable opposition to the movement, particularly on the part of the University of Alabama. which recently offered to take over the Birmingham Medical col lege for polyclnical purposes.
 Those familiar with the situation de- clare that the Medical college will prob ably accept the university's offer. though 1t is not known that the Birmingham in- stitution has yet indicated it's purpose or intention in the matter.

 officials when it became known that Perry Thomas had been named to fill 1 that vacancy.
 l The appointment of Mir. Thomas has re- ceved much favorable comment and the opinion prevails in official circles that the governor made an excellent selec- tion Mr. Thomas was one of the orig nal applicants for position on the court of appeals when that court was first established, and he received a strong lndorsement for the vacancy on the su- ] preme court to succeed Judge Simpson. When 1t became known that Governor O'Neal had appointed Judge de Graf fenreld on the supreme court it was gen erally expected that MT. Thomas would be named on the appellate court bench and his selection occasioned little sur prise.
 Mir Thomas is considered a young man for the high position to which he has been named. yet no one has questioned his ability to discharge all duties that may devolve upon him. He was born in Henry county, August 26 1872. and began the practice of law at the age of 21 years. at which time he was liv ing at Clay ton He served as mayor of Clanton for two terms, and in 1902 he was elected a member of the state sen- ate. He was reelected In 1906 and served in that legislature as president pro tenn of the senate, in which capacity his work brought him into prominence throughout the state.
 fraSidnnt n pn- ate MT. Thomas made vigorous fight against the passage of the measure pro viding for an election on the const- tutional amendment proposition and near ly succeeded in defeating this measure in the senate.
 In the last general election Mir. Thomas was candidate for lieutenant governor in opposition to Walter Seed of Tusca- oosa who was elected by narrow margin.
 The new appointee on the court of appeals is a warm personal friend of Governor O'Neal and has been a strong advocate of the governors programme for judicial reform in the state. It Is thought that Mir. Thomas will make a brilliant record as a member of the court of appeals, and it is believed that his appointment will be favorably re- ceived by lawyers throughout the state.
 Thomas Accepts
 Mr. Thomas this afternoon informed Governor ONeal that he would accept the appointment on the court of ap- peals The acceptance of MT. Thomas came in the form of telegram in which he thanked the governor for the honor conferred upon him and announced that he would accept the appointment.
 Before making the appointment this morning Governor O'Neal tried to call MT. Thomas over the telephone but was unable to get in communication with him. The governor talked to Charles Me Dowell. Jr. the law partner of Mir. Thomas, and MT. Mcdowell informed him that MT Thomas would accept

NEWS OF ENSLEY

To establish a record of 64,000 tons for the month of October is the high mark toward which every employe is striving at the steel plant If this point is attained it will be more than 10000 tons greater than previous rec ords. Sunday night the 12-hour rec ord for eight furnaces was IS heats. z A heat averages about 100 tons.
 To break the 24hour record for seven furnaces would require 29 heats. The record set Sunday night of IS heats for eight furnaces would go far beyond the mark set if kept up each shift. This however, is out of the question because the full quota of furnaces cannot be kept going all the time. In fact, it is said to be unusual that eight furnaces be kept in operation for even 12 hours One or more are out nearly all the time.
 The employees are taking great interest in the effort to break the record, it is said, and are watching the record of each days runs as closely as the most rabid fan will watch for the results of the worlds series in the baseball world.
