AGREEMENT REACHED
ALABAMA DELEGATION TOGETHER
 ON JUDICIAL SUBDIVISIONS.
Committee Members Hope They VIII Be Able to Secure Passage Of the Bill by Senator
 Pettus.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Colorado Building,
 Washington, Feb. 17. The Alabama delegation has at last reached an agreement with respect to the new Federal Judicial subdivisions of districts. Senator Pettus had al- ready obtained the passage of his bill for holding court at Selma for certain counties of that vicinity, but he has since consented to accept an amend ment which embodies the principal fea- lures of the bill introduced in the House by Representative Banknead. The Pettus bill creates the Northern division of the Southern District for the counties of Dallas, Perry, Hale, Ma rengo and Wilcox, the court to be held at Selma the first Monday in May and the first Monday in october. Monroe County was included, but, at the sug- gestion of Judge Toulmin. 1t Is to be left for the Southern, or Mobile court, division and will be so arranged for in the amendment.
 The amendment. which practically embraces the Banknead House bill, provides for holding court at Tusca- loosa the third Monday in May and the third Monday in October and the court here Is to be for the western division

IN PATRICK's FAVOR.

Committee of MedlcO-Legnl Society
 Makes Report.
 Now York, FeD. 17.-A committee se- lected by the Medico-Legal Society to Investigate the cause of deatn of Will liam Marsh Rice, the aged millionaire, v.ho died in 1900, and for whose mur- der Attorney Albert T. Patrick has been awaiting execution thirty-five months, has made it's report.
 The committee furnishes replies to a list of hypothetical questions and as- serts, in substance, that valet Charles Jones made a misstatement when he testified to having administered chlo- roforrn to Rice. The assertion Is made that such an amount of chloroform as was said to havv been used would have left an odor which would have been detected hours afterwards.
 In reply to the question as to wheth- CT embalming fluid would produce con Gestion of the lungs resembling that caused by chloroform, the committee claims 1t could not, but that a condi- ton SO nearly like true congestion might follow that 1t could only be dis tinguished by bacteriological examina- ton.
 Patrick's appeal probably will come up in court at the March term.

IMMIGRATION OF JEWS
AN INTEREsTING ADDRESS AT
 TEMPLE BETH-OR,
pr. Caplan of New York Speaks On Subject of Distributing New Citi- sens Among States of
 the Umion.

An important industrial movement was outlined last night in an address to the B'Nal Brith Lodges of Mont. gomery at Temple Beth-Or by Dr. NJ. L.. Capian, travelling representative of the Industrial Removal ofice of New York. The work Is a branch of tha field of endeavor of the Baron de Hirsh fund.
 The object of the work Is to prevent the congestion of Jewish emigrants in the ghettOs of the larger cities. It contemplates the distribution through local Jewish relief societies and BNal B.rith Lodges of these people through the various States and sections of the family with every 1000 population. This plan of allotting one family to each thousand of population in the communities selected for colonization was fully explained by Dr. Caplan in his address last night
 A large audience was at the Temple to hear the speaker. He showed how the unrest In Russia, the Russo-Japan- ese war and the labor troubles of that unhappy country. was largely increas- ing the flow of immigration to this country. This immigration IS increas- ing the congestion in the alfeady densely populated east side of New York. The speaker described some of con gested districts where S00,U00 pe,'~ pie are crowded into tenements occu- rying less than a So uare mile.
 Unsanitary and unhygienic conditions necessarily result and the mortality is so high that 1t Is considered most alarming. Because of the scarcity of work. economic conditions are equally deplorable. At the present time the congested condition of the east side bids fair to become even more pro, nounced with an attendant increase of it's deplorable conditions.
 To remedy these conditions the In- dustrial Removal Office, a branch of the work of the Baron Hirsh Fund, has undertaken the plan of distributing the thinly settled sections of the Union Local Jewish Keller Societies and B'Nai B'rith Lodges are cooperating with great success in this worK, The men and the families selected for col onization are sound physically and morally and most of them are equippes! with trades. Those who are adapted to agriculture are given an opportu nifty to farm, although most of them grants are said to represent a good elr ment of citizenship and to be without drunkenness, vice or immortality.
 The plan being carried out by Dr. Caplan and his associates is similar tc the work of the Salvation Army ir colonizing people in Colorado, except that it is not oone exclusively on far ms
 Dr. Caplan was much encouraged over the reception of his address ir pledged him here. He will remain oveI today to organize that cooperation The work he has undertaken Is secular and is carried on by the people of his faith. Many Of these immigrants will be located in Alabama.

ADpenl to EmprenH,

St. PetersDurg. Feb. 1.-The Empress of Russia has received from the women of Moscow an address piteously ap- pealing to her, as a woman and a moth CT to use her influence with the Em- peror to secure peace.
 "Oh, sovereign" the petition says, i've believe your mothers heart feels all the horrors of war as we do. Peace is violated, not only beyond the from tiers, but even in the heart of the fath- erland. We see in recent troubles the beginning of calamities that may crush all Russia if the Emperor does not seek to avert them. All the bases of life are shaken. and all the moral foun- dations are trembling. Mothers who have to bring up the young generation are saddened by seeing that it is inn possible to train up children on the basis of truth, love and duty when the social life of the country does not rest thereon. Our best forces are perish ing. Mothers whose hearts are break ing cannot remain silent. More lives will De sacrificed because what is hap pening is not spasmodic, but the re- suits of earlier calamities. The Elm

4A Hu.band on Salary. .v

A rather critical audience of goodly proportions enjoyed a production of "A Husband on Salary" by the Payton Sisters Company of actors at the BtJou theatre last night.
 The comedy gave the players of the company better opportunity to shine than some of the dramas produced by tho company In Montgomery. Miss Vina Payton, Mir. Russell, Miss lola Payton and Miss Edwards made a good impression on the audience.
 Perhaps the most reliable actor in tho company is MT. Thompson. This young man has been seen in widely divergent roles during the engagement this week at the Bijou and he has never failed to p.OAse. Last night ne played an overgrOwn, stupid boy and did 1t cleyeCly.
 Second to Mir. Thompson one fanci s that MT. Senter Payton Is the best ac- tor in the company. Ills chArdc -sr work Is almost fauItless put hlS eaun- citation is never distinct
 The specialties between the acts were exceptionally good last night and won repeated applause.
 At matinee today the company will present "A 5oldiers Honor. The en- gagement will close tonight wt.n a production of Pike County Folks"
