TO FORM BOAT CLUB
PRELIMINARY STEPS WERE TAKEN
 LAST NIGHT.
Committed On Organization Formed Boat House, With q Care-faker. Will Be Bullt Near The
 Wharf.

As a result of enthusiastic meeting of Montgomery men interes: ed in beat ing on the Alabama river at the Y. M. C. A. Building last night, a Mont gomery Boat Club Is an assured fact. About half a score of men who own boats on the river were present, and full discussion of the needs and ad- vantages of a permanent organization was entered into. sz
 It was recalled that Architect Man ming, of Boston, who was in Montgofn- cry about year ago, stated that the Alabama River was a very much neglected feature of the resources of the city. Boat owners have ex- perienced great difficulty in caring for their boats. and others have been de- terred from using the river because no provision has heretofore been made for protecting boats. The plan of the Boat Club is to provide a permanent boat house in charge of an attendant where boats of all descriptions may be cared for. Boat building will also be promoted. and facilities provided for this purpose.
 committee on permanent organiza. tion composed of Gerald Bunlxley, F. M. Welch and A. M. Kennedy was ap- pointed to report to the next meeting which will be held at the Association building next Tuesday night A com mittee on membership was also ap- pointed to see others who are inter ested in the project and secure a large attendance next Tuesday.

KHORASSANS' FEAST
DOkEYs WILL HAVE BIG CARNI-
 VAL APRIL 10.
State Teachers Win Be in Session at That Time and Reduced Fares
 VIII Be in

The Khorassans will have cere- monial in Montgomery on April Is. ''rain or shine"
 The Knights of Khorassan last month announced a ceremonial. and then at the proverbial Hast moment" called off the fun for reasons that were obvious to those directing the affairs of the local temple. Secretary Arthur c. Minter Is. however. busy get ting out another announcement, stat ing that the next ceremonial will be held in Montgomery on April 18th rain or shine"
 It just happens that the State teach CTS meeting will convene in Montgom- cry on that date so that those who w;Il attend this ceremonial from the thirty odd towns in which the membership of the Dokeys is represented, will get to take advantage of the reduced rail- road rates that will be in effect then. A large number of the teachers who will be in the city then are already members of the Knights of Pythias. and 1t is probable that several of them will tako advantage of this opportunity to cross the ''hot sands" with the Arabs. Mir. Minter states that this, in all l probability, will be the greatest cere- monial of this year as very much en- tn usiasm was displayed at the meet ing of the Temple Thursday night, and letters are received practically every day from the Dokeys throughout the State, asking as to when the next ceremonial Will be held.
 The various committees on entertain ment, banquet reception. etc, were ap- l pointed and from now until the 18th. every loyal Arab will be very busy | rounding up a bunch of tyros, or vic- tins. for this special occasion.
 The Khorassans are noted for their 1 spectacular torchl.ght parades, and those who have been fortunate enough | to survive the ordeal incident to ini- tiation are frank enough to say that
 every one gets all that is coming to
 him in the way of special stunts for
 the entertainment of those who have i already crossed the desert.

D., state Evangelist. who began a series Of meetings in the Baptist Church in this city last Sunday, is attracting large congregations at every service, and interest seems to increase every day the meeting progresses.

Burdened with tendency to steal i'm dustriously and indiscriminately. Char ley Grimes, alias Grafton, small ne- gro boy we'll known in police circles. was arrested at o'clock yesterday morning by Patrolman Loe after he had stolen a lot of lead and cart to haul 1t away.
 Charley is a boy of great precocity and toward the accomplishment of any end desired will devote much thinking. but little work. In fact, Charley ab- hors manual labor. Thus 1t was that when he formed the plan of removing without the cognizance of the owners some lead pipe which he had previously located. the first difficulty that pre- sented itself to his mind was the un- seemiy labor in which he would have to indulge in order to carry away the spells.
 This matter weighed upon the boy mind most heavily. but he soon hit upon a solution. It was very simple }. He would steal a cart with which to

 Owing to the fresh winds that pre- vailed yesterday, no frost occurred in the state. or that is, none was reported to the weather bureau. If any did fall. 1t was in the extreme northern coun- ties.
 This extreme cold was caused by ex- tensive area of high barometer that moved southeastward from the north western part of the country and was central yesterday morning over the lower Mississippi valley. It is thought this area will drift so far eastward to- day that there will be precipitation over this section with increasing cloudiness and a possibility of little rain,

Beauvoir Club Makes an
 Important Decision.
QUARTERS IN BELL BUILDING
Win Occupy All of the Twelfth
 Floor.
Roof Garden and Many Medern Ideas VIII Be Introduced--Member- ship VIII Be Limited
 to 200.

The Beauvoir Club decided at meeting held last night in the club rooms on Perry Street, that the club would move into the new Bell build ing immediately upon its completion The financial difficulty which has hith- erto stood in the way of their removal and satisfactory plans for meeting the expense incident to the change. were adoLted. The entire twelfth floor of the Bell building will be occupied by the club and no expense will be spared in fitting up the new quarters.
 The plans of the club for its new home include a ball room. three din- ing rooms, parlors and reading rooms, and a spacious lobby. They include. of course. a kitchen. The ball room will be 36 by 55 feet and will be one of the handsomest in the South.- The parlors and reading rooms will he ele- rantly furnished and will be arranged most comfortably. The kitchen Is to be placed on the roof, and for use in the summer a roof garden also will be provided. This feature of the plans furnishes a decided novelty and will doubtless prove a delightful addition in the warm months of spring and sum- mer. The garden will cover an area of about 4.000 square feet and in its appointments will be most unique.
 One of the most interesting points of she meeting last night, aside from the decision to change the location of the club rooms was the motion passed in regard to membership. 1t is under stood that with the limited space to be at their disposal. only a certain number of members can be accommo- dated. The Club, therefore, purposes to limit the membership to 200. having at present a membership of only 160.
 The plan of removing the Beauvoir Club down town has received much consideration recently. It has always had many strong advocates and in the past few months these have been mak- ing powerful effort for the consum- mation of the plan. Now that hte es- tablishment of the club down town is an assured fact. interest will be dl- rected toward the new club rooms. The contract for the Bell building names October l as the date of completion and the removal of the club will thus occur at or near that date.
 The present beautiful home of the club on Kerry Street will be rented.
