". B. CRAIG URGED TO
RUN FOR CONGRESS
Conference at Selma to Re-
quest Former Congress-
man to Enter Race

Selma, February 1.--(Special )-Opposi-
ton to Congressman Fred l.. Blackmon
of the Fourth district is the probable re-
suit of a conference held here today in
which prominent men from every coun-
ty of the district were present. As the
direct result of this meeting, former Con-
gresham w. b. Craig of Selma is being
urged to announce himself as candi-
date,
W. B. Craig was afterward sought by
a committee and requested to permit the
announcement to be made of his cam
didacy. He declined to give an immedi-
ate answer but said he would take the
natter under serious consideration and
give his decision at a later date.
The Selma district is a shotstring, con-
sisting of the counties of Dallas, Shell
by, Chiffon, Cleburne and Calhoun. 1t
was represented for four years by Mr..
Craig, who voluntarily retired, giving bus
mess reasons as his excuse. He was
succeeded by Mr.. Blackmon, who was not
given opposition two years ago when a
candidate for reelection.

D|SCRED|TS RUMOR
COURT OF APPEALS
WILL Be ABOLISHED
Judge Pelham Inclined to
Attach No Importance to
Rumors-Silent on the
Lacy Case

Admission, February 1.-(Specialo J
Regarding the persistent rumors to the
effect that the next Alabama legislature
will take steps to abolish the Alabama
court of appeals, Judge John Pelham.
a member of that court, and now on a
visit to this city, was inclined to at
tach no importance to the rumors when
seen by local newspaper man.
If the court was abolished" said
Judge Pelham, 1T would have to be
re-establshed, or else the supreme
court enlarged. Possibly there are a
few railroad lawyers who would like
to see the court abolished on account
of the delay in cases which would en-
sue, but as long as there are a thou
sand cases year appealed from the
lower trial courts there must be some
provision made for disposing of them
However, l have no way of knowing
what the next legislature may do 1t
might decide to enlarge the supreme
court, adding to it the members of the
court of appeals or it might broaden
the jurisdiction of the latter"
Judge Pelham declined to talk poll
tlcs, or the Lacy case. He stated. how
ever, that he feels sure of the election
of Senator kilby of Admission as lieu
tenant governor and that he knew il
to be a fact that the governors detec-
tives have been close onto the trail of
theodore Lacy for the past month
