Music Study Club Already Working Proposition to Be Staged When National Federation Meets Here in
 Aprl-Donnelly Indorses the Idea

If somebody hadn't already suggested that great minds run in the same chan nel," the suggestion might be aptly ap- piled in regard to the pageant which has been proposed by Frank Wills Barnett associate editor of The Age-Herald.
 For, while no suggestion Of a pageant had been made previously, it seems that the women in charge of the arrangements for the biennial of the National Fedora ton of Musical clubs wese planning the very same thing in connection with the convention, to be held in Birmingham April F to g.
 This morning the biennial board vii meet at Cable hall to discuss further plans for the pageant. which it is rur- posed to stage.
 Mrs. Houston Davis, president of the Music Study club, Is hstrtly in favor of a pageant for Birmingham, but she wishes to have it staged in connection with the Musical club meeting.

MOBILE AND OIHO'S FATE NOT SETTLED
Az Suncement of President Harrison Sheds No Light on Situation

The fate of practically every railroad owned by the Southern railway interests was settled in the announcement given out Wednesday. except the Mobile and Ohio railroad
 Ill view of the statement of Fairfax Harrison, president of the Southern sys- tenn, that the. controlling company would gladly dispose of the Mobile and Ohio, the employees of the Mobile and Ohio do not know what to expect. The Mobile and Ohio railroad is one of the oldest lines in the south. and extends from St. Louis to Mobile It is about 1000 miles long.
 'We do not know what to expect said F. S. Hay, southeastern passenger agent of the Mobile and Ohio, with headquar- : ters at Montgomery. Tt is rumored that changes are to be made It is known that President Harrison would be glad to dis pose of it, as he has stated so. But, de- spite the rumors, we have TO definite information. The Mobile and Ohio is almost like an orphan.'N

DR. HARRINGTON ID |bE REPRESENTED BY JUDGE s. ). WEAKLEY
Committee of Health to Make Fight to Make Health Laws Apply to City as
 We'll as the County

Judge Samuel D. weakiey wtii repre-
 sent Dr. F. E. Harrington when the quo
 warranto proceedings are heard tn tho
 sition by Dr. Thomas D. Parke, chairman
 of the committee of health. yesterday
 and accepted the responsibility. No action against the city commission
 has been taken, but the supporters of Dr. F. E. Harrington are frank to admit that determined fight will be waged to
 make the city recognize the law. It is
 their contention that the action of tho city in refusing to recognize pr. Har-
 rington. as the city health officer. was
 in defiance of the law. The quo warranto rington recognized the unified health sys- tenn. but merely refused to recognize Dr. Harrington as being legally qualified to serve as county health officer. This action they hold to have been Ie- gal and reasonable. But, they hold that the commission was 'despotic" when 1t refused to recognize Dr. Harrington, and then, without resorting to the courts to base their action, named a city health officer of it's own. Tt is nothing more than the recrudescence of the spirit of secession" one of the leaders stated. Their point is that Van Hayes questions the right of Dr. Harrington to serve as the county health officer, but does not draw the system into the range of litiga- | tion- On the other hand, the city has questioned the constitutionality of the state laws without resorting to the courts | to have his belief strengthened. In view of his sentiment. the board of health is determined to fight the city to the limit. It will attempt to force the recognition of the present state laws which make it possible for the county health officer to be the city health officer. If litigation will insure this recognition. While the heading of the quo warranto proceedings in the circuit court has noth- ling to do with the city muddle, the coin- mittee of health has one benefit. The question of whether Dr. F. E. Harring ton of the public health service could be installed legally as the county health officer was put to the attorney general of Alabama, according to Dr. Thomas D. Parke. He ruled that such action could be sustained
 With Judge Weakley directing the legal maneuvers of the board of health, thus plans for the defense of Dr. Harrington | in the quo warranto proceedings and the methods to force recognition by the city will be determined soon.

"Inasmuch as we had oeen making our plans for weeks, we feel that nothing should be done to interfere with the spec tacle we intend to put on,'' said Mrs. Da- wis. We have been collect,ng data fir sometime in regard to the matter, and this data will, I suppose, be turned over to special pageant committee, to worK out the details.
 T cannot see what could be better time for the staging of pageant in Bir- mingham than the spring, and especially during the biennial when there will be thous9nds of people in Birmir gham''
 J. w. Donnelly is also in favor of the festival, but believes that 1t should be given in the spring rather than the fall
 We have the State Fair ill the fall said MT. Donnelly, "and for that reason l am in favor of having tae pageant in the spring. l think it will be a mighty big thing for Birmingham, ;ts it will bring thousands of people to the city and will furnish them excellent entertainment while here''

HEALTH SYSTEM
 WAS INADEQUATE This Was Reason for Selec- tion of Dr. Harrington,
 Says Dr. Riggs

The action of the medical society and the committee of health in naming pr. F. K. Harrington as health officer for the city and county was taken after the old system had been found inadequate and inefficient, according to pr. E. F. Riggs. In letter to the editor of The Age Herald yesterday, he declared that for years the control of the public health system had been vested in the medical profession, and it was with the view to carrying out the obligations this duty im- posed that the medical authorities had acted in this matter. pr. Riggs declared that since no one questioned the fitness of pr. Harrington the real objections to him should be stated publicly.
 The letter follows:
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The controversy over public health mat ters in Jefferson county and the city of Birmingham has assumed such propor- tions that it deserves the serious con- sideration of every public spirited citizen whatever his position may be.
 Some years ago the state imposed the responsibility of public health on the shoulders of the medical profession. That act of the legislature was presumably prompted by the impression that the pro- fession did or should represent degree oi knowledge particularly in health mat Nters not possessed by the average lay man. However that may be the medical association accepted the obligation. Con- sequently we feel that We cannot with out dishonoring ourselves and the pro- fessior whose high ideals of integrity we are pledged to sustain be governed by any motive other than that of duty.
 After a very careful investigation and in the face of difficulties the Jefferson county board of health almost unani- mously decided that the old system was utterly inadequate and to get greater eff ficiency a change was imperative. So we attempted to put in effect a system which would fulfill modern requirements. At first there seemed to be no opposition by those who claim to mold the whiI handle to the situation,' but later on the selection or health officer did not har- monize with certain political interests and objection arose under one pretext or another with the real reasons kept ir the background.
 In this day of enlightenment it would seem unbelievable that there are those representing community welfare so mar. row, so bigoted and so unwise that they would sacrifice public interest of SC much importance on the altar of political intrigue and religious prejudice.

EPISCOPAL RECTOR
 | PASSES AWAY HERE
Rev. I. o. Adams, Promi- nent in Church, Military
 and Fraternal Circles, Dies

The Rev. Innes o. Adams. late rec tor of Trinity Episcopal church, Bes- semer. but more recently engaged in mission work. died yesterday afternoon at the family residence. 2156 Eleventh avenue. south. He is survived by his widow, one son. Thornton Adams of Memphis. and three daughters, Mrs. k. T. Conner of Birmingham, Mrs Or vile Lay of Woodward and Miss Ethel Adams of Birmingham. The funeral services will be held this afternoon at St. Mary's-on-th the Highlands, the Rev. w N. Claybrook. assisted by the local Episcopal clergy. officiating.
 Dr. Adams was prominent figure in the church. military and fraternal circles of the state for many years. He was rector of the Episcopal church at Eufaula for many years previous to his coming to the Birmingham dis trict about Ii years ago. For a num- Der of years he held the position of chaplain of the Second infantry regi- ment, Alabama National Guard, .and has also acted as grand chaplain of the grand lodge. Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He was member of the Masonic fraternity, holding member ship with the Knights Templar and Shriners
 For sometime past failing health has kept him from the activities of his, clerical duties as well as from those of his fraternal and military connections. but he has been at all times vitally Interested in those af- fairs.
 Dr. Adams was man of deep piety, awhole- -souled gentleman. a kindly teacher and preacher of the gospel of love and charity. He numbered his friends by the score in every part of the state and especially among those with whom he had lived and labored. ence Nightingale and others had been governed by other motive than that o1 public benevoience regardless of race, na- tionality or creed. No the medical SO ciety does not wish to usurp any author ity or domineer over others in their du- ties. What we insist upon Is that with a full realization of our responsibility We propose to .stand squarely by our post of duty as physicians and as members o1 society. To our minds true Americanisnl stands for enlightenment against ignor- ance, courage against cowardice, right against wrong, justice against injustice fitness against unfitness and over and above all political liberty and religious freedom
 x So far as l can discover no one disputes Dr. Harrington's fitness. Then why not like high minded courageous men come out in the open with the real objection

That now hold the world in thrall. It's a gamble yes, we grant it,
 For, of course no one can know
 Whether royal blood or humble
 In foundling's veins does flow. Maybe in that little baby
 Lies future President
 Maybe in those dirty blankets
 Lies a Shakespeare or Kent.
 But no matter what the outcome, Though its life be high or low,
 This child, just like every other baby, Ia entitled to a show.
 The little dirty-faced baby that wal found the other day in vacant hous, and turned over to Mrs. Kate Lind1eJ has been washed up, and looks like z regular baby. All 1t wants now is Z home.

Just wee little baby
 With a wee little smile And wee little fingers
 That keep twitching all the while. Just a little bit of something Born without the parents nest. Just an innocent intruder Longing for it's mothers breast. Just founding, thus they call it, And perhaps they may be right But who knows within that baby Quite the power and the might That even now are lying dormant Waiting for a chance to grow, For chance to spread it's knowledge And to let the whole world know That 1t doesn't really matter Who the mother might have been And it doesn't really matter That the child be born In "sin." Just chance,
 That's all it's asking,
 Be it ever yet so small Just a chance to bridge traditions
