 TEMPLE BETH-0R.
"The Religious Man as Painted by . Jewish Artist" Was the Sub-
 ject of the Address.

Rabbi J. s. Karnfeld of Pine Bluff, Ark, preached a forceful sermon to the congregation of the Temple of Beth-Or last night.
 Rabbi Karnfeld was introduced to the congregation by Rabbi A. J. Messing, Jr.
 Rabbi Messing said the ngrega.ion of Temple Beth-Or owed deDt of gratitude to the order of B'nai Brith of Montgom- cry in that the erder had been the means Of bringing Jewish speakers to Montgom- cry. He spoke of Rabbi Karnfeld as a colleague and paid tribute to him.
 Rabbi karnfeld's topic was "The Relig- ious Man as Painted by a Jewish Artist" and his discourse was strong and deliv- ei ed in an impressive manner.
 He spoke of the moral man and of the religious man and said they were not necessarily the same. A religious man must be moral. said the Rabbi but 1t is not absolutely essential for a moral man to be religious.
 Rabbi Karnfeld spoke of Jewish beliefs and pointed out wherein they differed with those of the Gentle. He spoke of death, saying that the Jew feared death because r. was his belief that death ended his usefulness 10 himself and to his Creator.
 He repeated the twenty-third Psalm, remarking upon It's beauty of sentiment.
 A large congregation was present.

If an agricultural experiment station is not located in Montgomery 1t will not be Tor lack of merit in the proposition or for lack of effort on the part of the pro- motors of the enterprise.
 The claims of Montgomery are put for ward as the natural and commercial cen- Ter Of the great agricultural region of Alabama. he movement has been under taken by President M: B: Houghton of the Montgomery Board of Revenue and Prof. J. A. Thompson, County Superin- tendent of Education. They have called upon Governor Jelks in the interest of the proposed experimental station.
 The Governor was favorably impressed with the merits of the proposition 1t ia understood. At this time, however, the state administration is making haste slowly with Improvements which make demands upon the State treasury The last Legislature was rather generous in the matter of appropriations and what course 1t may take when the members re- assemble In September is problematical. The new constitution has reduced the tax rate ana there will naturally follow re- auction of the States revenues. Tn view ot all this the administration is handling the financial matters of the State with caution and prudence
 These conditions will have an impoAtant bearing upon the proposed experiment station The money for the station win come out or the agricultural funds of the state. II IL should be decided to estab- hsh one in Montgomery County, The promoters of the station are hopeful for the ultimate success of the project and will continue their labors 10 that end.

LAST PITCHER COMES
MATTHEWS'S ARRIVAL FILLS
 OUT BURNETTS BUNCH.
Montgomery Highlanders in Fine Condition for Mondays Open ing-Mahoney May Not
 Umpire for Inter-
 State League.

Tommy Matthews, the last of Burnett s bunch of Interstate Leaguers reached the city last night and is prepared to do his part towards annexing the pennant of Matthews Burnett's Montgomery team Is complete.
 J. B. Timberlake the owner of the club now has thirteen men on his pay roll. The. thirteen fill every place on the team, having three pitchers and utility man. Baseball players. like horsemen carry around a few pet superstitions. Some of the enthusiastic youngsters who are helping Burnett win the pennent were little nervous over the thirteen proposi- ton.
 The big manager, however, scoffed at the idea of thirteen being a hoodoo. Thir- teen, he declared was his lucky number. He came into the world on the thirteenth of the month and says that since that time his good luck and the number thir- teen have always been connected.
 Matthews the third member Of the Highander's twirling staff Is a gentle with St. Albans in Virginia. Matthews first came into baseball prominence as freshman pitcher for one of the cham pionship teams of the University Of Ala bama. He was later the star twirler for the fast independent team of Anniston. His clever work In the famous to game between Anniston and Brewton last summer at Highland Park is well remem- bered in Montgomery. In Akers, Burtle and Matthews Manager Burnett thinks he has three of the fastest pitchers in the league. They are all young with just enough experience to season them.
 Burnetts bunch yesterday afternoon secured the best practice of the season. The wind mas . etofore prevented any very valuable practice, but yesterday barring a little coolness was ideal. The team is in fine condition. There Is only one charley horse" arm in the bunch and that belongs to Burnett. the veteran. It is the first sore arm that Burnett has had since he began playing ball Just how long ago that was Burnett does not exactly remember. It Is predicted of Burnett that he will probably lead the League in fielding and batting
 Ed Mahoney. the popular Montgomery umpire who has been named as one of the official handlers of the indicator by the Interstate League magnates may not accept The position will carry whole lot of railroad expenses and hotel bills and the expense account will knock a big hole in the salary. There being only four clubs in the league the jumps ars longer and more frequent than in any other league The expense account looks rather large to Mahoney. He has the matter under advisement with President GoodWyn and today 1t will be definitely known if Ed IS to call balls and strikes for the Inter-States. The League wants Mahoney's services and the officials are straining a point to get him.
 The League season opens Monday with Brewton against Montgomery al High land Park

STATE PARDON BOARD.
Lawyers Striving to Save Life o
 Nose Davis.

A strong petition was yesterday pre- sented to the State Board of Pardons for the communication of the death sen- tence of Nose Davis, a Lowndes County negro. Davis was convicted of murder a year ago and was sentenced to be hanged.
 His attorneys have made a strong fight for the negro's life. The case of Davis was carried from the Lowndes County Circuit Court to the Supreme Court of Alabama. The Supreme Court affirmed the action of the lower court. Davis was however granted a longer lease on life Unless the Governor interferes, Davis will be hanged May IS. The chief reason for the last delay was to give Davis's at torneys an opportunity of petitioning the State Board of Pardons
 Davis's petition was presented to the State Board of Pardons yesterday. Defi- nite action upon 1t was postponed until next Friday.
 A number of applications for executive clemency was considered at yesterdays s meeting, which was held in the office of Auditor Thomas l.. Sowell.
