 Health of the South.
 MT. Wolf of Houston. Teaxs, COOK the floor. briefly calling to mind an instance of a case of Russian m Teaxs who grew i'll and after few weeks treatment the physician ad- vised him to seek colder climate sam Blum, President of the Touro Infirmary at New orleans, said that he must take issue with Rabbi Samfield who was casting a slur on the health of tho South During the yellow fever in New Orleans there was not single case among the Russians. In fact he could cite several successful colonies in the South. one of which was near Shreveport. With this movement he said Jews would not come to America in such large numbers through New York but great loads Of them would immigrate to this country through New Orleans. Mobile and Galveston Rabbi Friedlander, of Beaumont Texas, spoke in hearty accord with tHIS SectfCU Ol tut itpo''. ifc oeiN the removal office of New York was formed for the purpose of distributing these immigrant Jews throughout the country. The cause of B'Nai BR1th would not be carried to it's fullest height by having these Jews peddling and in sweat shops. On account of the recent outbreaks in Russia he had been reliably informed that some five or six million Jews would have to leave that country. To assist these Jews rightly would be to place them on every soil where they can live. He said he had made study of the question and the time had come when there was an overflow of merchants, traders ana shopkeepers. The Jew must be put to something else. The only and the best plan. he said. had been adopted by the Jewish Agricultural Aid Society. There were 1s7,eo0 farms in Texas operated by white people successfully. Why not the Jew?
 With this talk by Rabbi Friedlander the section was adopted fostering the organization of the Agricultural So- ciety. .

 By consent the last section was stricken out and the report was then adopted in it's entirety, thus conclud- ing one of the most important chap ters of the convention.
 It was ordered, on motion of Rabbi Lewinthal. that a copy of this report as adopted be sent to the National Con IL. At lAa yka atz1a meets in Philadelphia on May 6.
 Joseph Wagner of New Orleans offer ed a resolution directing the commit tee on laws to so amend the laws of the order as to allow the State of Texas, on account of it's large territory, an additional member on the general committee, thus giving to this state three representatives in all. It was referred to the committee on laws.
 Territorial Organization.
 At the suggestion of Houston Lodge No 434, a resolution was offered by Charles D. Wolf and Jules Hirsch, hav- ing for it's purpose the endorsement by the district of the plans and aims Of the Jewish Territorial Organization as the best solution Of the Jewish problem in the east. and inviting the lodges of the district to study and sup port the movement.
 Rabbi Friedlander entered into an explanation of the organization saying, in part that it was something on the order of the Zionist movement.
 Rabbi Samfield earnestly opposed the resolution. He said 1t would be dan gefous although personally he was in sympathy with 1t. The organization was nothing more than branch of Zionism, he said.
 Rabbis woisey and Rhine held to the same opinion as Dr. Samfield.
 The discussion was ended when the
