JUDGE PELHAM MAY BE SUCCEEDED BY A BIRMINGHAM IVAN
Judge Evans Who Recently Retired From Appellate Court, Is Considered
 Likely Appointee

Judge Richard V. Evans of Birming- ham, who retired from the court of ap- peals when the new term' began in Jan John Pelham, who died yesterday after rcon. Reports to this effect were cur rent here last night and were apparently based upon excellent authority.
 It will be recalled that when J,.1ge E. Perry Thomas resigned fo om the court of appeals last year, Gov ernor Henderson nameo the local attorney to the vacancy. 1t is contended by Birmingham lawyers and judges that the record made during Judge Evans six months or more of service was such as to attract the fav- cradle attention of the bench and bar of the state and to assure him an even stronger indorsement for tn, present va cancy than he had for the former.
 Jutge Evans who is considered one Of the ablest among the younger attorneys of Birmingham, managed .Ee campaign Of Governor Henderson n Jefferson coun- |ty when the majority for the present executive was far greater than 1he most sangnire expectations If his friends had figured.
 It is contended further in favor of the appointment of Judge Evans that Jeffer- son county, which provides the greater part of all the litigation of the state, has not a representative on either the state supreme court, With it's seven members, nor the court of appeals with three mem- bers. Friends of Judge Evans will be- cone active for him as soon as the mat ter is taken up by the governor Due 10 the great press of cases now before t.st court of appears, it is expected that tee appointment will be made without any great delay.

COMMISSION MEETING EXPECTED TO PROVIDE NO NEW SENSATIONS
Friendly Action on Health Matter and Paving Questions
 Up Today

No tempestuous meeting of the com mission is expected this morning when the perennial issue--the health mud dle--is presented for consideration.
 J. R. Hornady, commissioner of health, will recommend that the legal department be advised to consider wha. legal steps may be taken to test the state health laws. which provide that the county health officer may be city health officer also. He will point out that this measure will interfere In no way with the health work of the department inasmuch as Dr. J NJ Lowrey will serve as head of the ac- tivities and will have the hearty sup port of all units.
 There will be no venom iN the meas ure- The city will not resort to it's last expedient--that of setting a pro- hibitively low salary for pr. Lowrey. and it will continue to strain it's re- sources to provide machinery for the protection of the public health. It will seek merely to ascertain whether the laws, which. it is contended seem somewhat inequitable and discrimin- atory, will be upheld by the supreme court.
 While this will be the most import ant measure that the commission IS expected 10 cOnSloeI tHlS morning tnefe Is one live local issue. the paving of Fifth avenue. south. from Thirty eighth to Forty-seventh streets.
 The ordinance for paving this ave- nue will come up for confirmation. One group of property owners is strongly in favor of paving, while another op- poses vehemently the move.
 Some rather lively angles are an- ticipated when the two groups meet and the floor is cleared for action.

DR. B. F. RILEY PREPARING
 HISTORY OF BAPTISTS

During a very busy life Dr. Riley has already written number of Baptist his- tories of states, and Dr. Mullins the president of the Southern Baptist Theo- logical seminary, says that Dr. Riley has written more Baptist history than any other southern man, when he was pro- lessor of English and oratory at the University of Georgia, the American Bap- tist Publication society wishing to issue a manual of southern Baptist history, wrote to Dr. J. B. Hawthorne to name the most competent man for the task, and he at once sent the name of Prof B. F. Riley, who wrote the manual of more than 300 pages. Other similar manuals of the New England, middle and western states were prepared at the same time by distinguished authors, and Dr. Riley was informed by the Publication society that his was voted the best written and best constructed in the group.
 The present work to which Dr. Riley is called is to be complete and compre- hensive history of two or more volumes We learn that Dr. Riley having in view the possibility of such work has been accommodating material for over 20 years for this purpose. Ills other historical works on denominational historr-af afee- the outgrowth of this vast accumulation. We learn that he has the large history outlined and will be able to have it ready for the press by the close of this year. It is to be not only a history of dehom- national events extending from 1884 10 the present. but a development of the life and principles of the denomination which has grown from little church of IT members at Charleston to a denomination approx
 mating 100000.
 The undertaking Is a colossal one but Dr. Riley has the material at hand for doing it, and is already at work on it. With the work of years already spent on it, he says it can be leisurely done, and when lone will be the only complete history of he Baptists of the south ever written.

All Ready to Do Their Part When Government Says
 the Word
MAJ. SEWELL TALKS OF PREPAREDNESS PLANS
State Directors Have Full Inventory and Are Ready for Emergency. Potential Possibilities Great
 est in the South

The industries of Alabama to
 the number have promised to
 do their part should the United
 States become engaged in n war.
 Mai. J. s. SeweII. one of the five
 directors for Alabama, acting in
 the interests of the preparedness
 measures, stated yesterday at the
 TutwiIer that in response to the
 inquiry of the directors as to what
 part they might be expected toe
 bear in event of war, every i'm
 dustry in Alabama--steeI mills,
 iron manufacturers. machine shops,
 coal mines, lumber mills and
 divers piants-had responded that
 it would aid.
 An inventory of the plants in
 Alabama has been taken; each
 industry has filed with the di-
 rectors what 1t can do, and ev-
 erything Is ready.
 There will be no further move until orders come from Washington, but the government knows that Alabama is loyal and ready to do it's bit.
 iC 1lfc tCCOOlo iCI <ald Dhilie SiA Mai J. s. Sewell. Frank Hearne Crockard. Priestly Toulmin. Dr. B. B Ross of Auburn and Theodore Swann of Anniston
 Tn response to our inquiries in the interests of preparedness as to wheth- CT the government might depend upon the industries of Alabama. we have re- ceived statements from every industry that they are ready in event they are needed" said Major Sewell I've have not had single refusal and are en- unused over the loyalty and willing ness of the citizens of Alabama.
 They have filed inventories with us as to what they could do and l believe that Alabama would be a greal aid. It might take sometime to organ ize the plants to manufacture and sup ply munitions, but Alabama has great potential possibilities. There is no southern states with such natural re- sources, but, of course. they are not developed,
 ''As to what work would be as signed to these industries in event of war, I am not in a position to state for we will do nothing now until or ders come from Washington"

The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-03-06

Readers of The Age-Herald who are fa-
 miliar with the work of Dr. B. F. Riley,
 through his frequent communications to
 these columns. will be interested in know ing something about the work upon which
 he is now engaged.
 A revived interest in history exists
 among all thoughtful people throughout
 the country as is shown by the fact that even local histories are sought by people remote.
 We learn that pr. B. F. Riley's history of Alabama is being ordered by libraries as remote as Augusta, Me, and San Francisco.
 The Christian denominations have of late become very active in producing their own histories on an elaborate scale. Both the Methodists and disciples have recently issued large histories of their own de- nominations. At the last session of the southern Baptist convention, Dr. R. C.. Buckner of Texas, the father" of the body offered a resolution authorizing the Sunday school at Nashville to propose a history of the Baptsts of the south This was unanimously adopted, and the eyes of those interested in the new work were at once turned toward our townsman, Dr. B. F. Riley, as the man to do the work.
 Since that time the denominatonal lead CTS have been urging the authorities of the Sunday school board to engage Dr. Riley to do the work. The long sickness
 and finally the death of pr. J. NJ. Frost the secretary of the Sunday school board prevented action until lately, when pr. Riley was appointed.
 It is the unanimous opinion of the lead- CTS of the southern Baptists that no one
 approaches Dr. Riley in point of fitness and ability for this service He is every where recognized as having rare historic perspective, all easy and graphic style of expression, a sense of unity of principle in history, and to be scrupulously ex- act as a historian can be at doubtful points. where statements seem to con- ! flict
