LAST RITES OVER
 BODY 0F DR. OWEN
Friends From All Over the State Gather In Montgom-
 cry to Pay Tribute

Montgomery, March 2s.-(speciaL)- Friends from every section of Alabama gathered at the First Methodist Church Sunday afternoon for the last rites over the body of pr. Thomas M. Owen, di- rector of the state department of archives and history since it was cre- ated twenty years ago.
 The funeral services were conducted by Dr. Mark H. Holt, pastor of the church, assisted by Dr. R. Fl. McCaslin, pastor of the first Presbyterian Church,
 The church was filled to overflowing and citizens of Montgomery have sell dom seen floral display as large as the one created by the friend of the man who has taken a prominent part in the life of Alabama for generation.
 Dr. McCasiin, who had worked with Dr. Owen on civic matters for several years delivered touching address on his life and work and declared that the state had lost a character which could not be recreated in another person.
 Governor Kilby and all state officials and employees attended the funeral,
 pr. owens successor will be named by the board of trustees of the department but 1t was stated following the funeral that the board has not the slightest idea where a person can be obtained to take up the work where Dr. Owen left off.
 A pathetic feature connected with the death of Dr. Owen was that he had been working for several years on an unabridged history of Alabama whlnl was far on the road to completion. This work must now be taken over by another less familiar with the states history.

NATIONAL CIVIC ASSOCIATION IS
 AGAINST RUSSIA
Soviet Government Scored In Declaration Issued, Claiming it Will Destroy
 Bulwarks of Morality
ny AuoeIated src..

New York. March 2S-The National Civic Federation of which Judge Alton B. Parker, is president, having a member ship of men ard women prominent in all forms of public and political endeavor. in statement tonight came out strongly irsopposition to recognition of soviet Rus sia. The statement, signed by more than 3t0 persons, whose names are nationally known, will be sent to President Wilson.
 1t declares that the people of the United States cannot consent to admit into the family of nations or in any other way countenance this government of violence and terror. There must be no compro.n- ise between American democracy and Russian bolshevism." Declaration follows
 We believe that recognition of soviet Russia would be a repudiation of all that our national life has represented for a hundred and fifty years e-75 of all the spiritual ideals for which modern civiliza- ton has strven for two thousand years
 Aiming to destroy the bulwarks of morality and social order, soviet tenets have attempted to interdict the teaching of religion, disfranchised the clergy, and made marriage mere civil contract which may be broken by either party
 It's system and franchise destroy repre- sentative government, which since the magma charta, the world has come to re- gard as the first essential political factor of the modern state Its programme breaks every law of economies and in practice destroys production
 The fundamental principle and pur- poses of the bolshevist propaganda abroad is world revolution whether that propaganda is carried on by official soviet representatives, by political parties which belong to their communist International, or by independent organizations that sup port sovetism because of it's temporary ability to maintain it's power
 Bolshevsm by all of it's decrees, pub locations and acknowledged acts has demonstrated that it is a destructive movement depending for it's success in Russia upon terrorism and a minority dictatorship, and in foreign countries up- support and sympathy obtained through propaganda. Zmoviev himself, while president of the Petrograd soviet. declared that the very existence of the soviet regime is menace to all other governments.
