Portuguese family which fled to Italy
TO escape the terrors of the Inquisition.
The Immediate forebears of Subato
Morals were ardent Republicans and
his father suffered imprisonment for
his political views. This passion for
free government was evidenced by DIR.
Mornis often in his later cayreer.
He carried on his Hebrew studies un-
der the direction of distinguished Rnb-
bis of his native city at the same time
pursuing his seciIlar studies. He was
an accomplished linquist, speaking not
only his native language. Italian, but
French and Spanish with great ease,
and while he lived before the so-called
Hebrew Renaissance he used Hebrew
freely as language of conversation.
He spent five years in England FROM
1916, where he was Hebrew master in
the orphan's school of the Portuguese
congregation and during that time lie
formed Il close friendship with the
great Italian patriot, Joseph MaZzini.

and its neighborhood. He knew prac-
tically no German. and of course no
Yiddisl, 1aId yet his interest in the
Russian exiles WIS so great and his
sympathy with them was so deep that
thou he could not communicate direct.
except with those who spoke Hebrew.
they came to regard him as their best
friend in Philadelphia and with good
cause.
Before the Baron de Hiryoh fund was
formed he secured thru his friend Che
valicr Venizinani. aid for the estab-
lishment of an agricultural colony in
New Jersey, and althO not accustomed
to business, he actually handled the
funds himself for Baron de Hirsch in
this pioneer effort.
After 1882, when the Jews began
coming to Philadelphia in much larger
numbers there was no occasion in
which they were concerned that was

Doctor Morals was n man of medium

labored increasingly for many hours
of the day and gave himself but few
scant hours Of sleep at night. Modern
methods did not exist in his day and
his numerous lectures and sermons. Il
large correspondence and the many arti-
cles that he wrote for the press were
all done with his own hand.
He rigidly lived Il Jewish life ac-

opponent of all changes and inovations.

for the adoption of IL book of common

He married Clara Esther We'll and
the couple had seven children.
He was entirely selfless, without per-
sonnI ambition. He never made any
attempt to bring together and publish ut
least his writings bearing on Italian
Jewish history. as very little is accessi-
bic on this subject in the English IAN
guage.
. And so this man who had no ambi-
lions for himself. nevertheless, erect
ed unto himself an enduring monument
in the seminary which he founded and
in the hearts of those who were per-
mi.ted to enjoy his teachings and his
friendship.

BISHOP MOUzON SAYS CHRIST IS FINAL WORD

In dealing with the subject chosen as the topic of his third address at the First Methodist church Wednes- day night, Christ the Final Author ity in Religion" Bishop Mouzon pointed out what he said were er- TOTS and false doctrines proclaimed to the people today, and warned his listeners or the dangers that threaten those who stray into strange be- liefs.
 Bishop Mouzon took occasion to speak of the followers of Pastor Rus sell and others whom he classed as good, but misguided people. and brought out the point of his whole theme that in religion, not the Bi- ble not the church, not any organi- zation or any man was the authority in religion but that Christ stood as the final authority in all religion.
 The speaker drew an interesting comparison between that part of personality which can be defined, and that part which defles defination, saying that Christ's marvellous per sonality. that undefinable something about Him which caused men to for sake all and follow Him, was the one thing that made direct appeal to the hearts of men. He said that not Christs divinity was responsible for his authority, but that hts authority was responsible for his divinity. say ing in conclusion that what is needed is for more preachers to quit argu- ing about religion and proclaim tine wonderful story which is so badly needed to soothe the tortured hearts of men and women today,

COLLINS IS FREED. AT TER GRAND JURY
 REPORTS ''NO B|LL" "
North Birmingham Resident Who Killed Neighbor by
 Mistake Held
 BIameleSs

Julian C. Collins, North Birming- ham station agent for the Southern railway. was held blameless for the killing Tuesday night of Lincoln Wells, city pound keeper. in the su- burb, when the Jefferson county grand jury refused late Wednesday afternoon to return an indictment against Collins. An immediate order of release was directed to Sheriff Thomas J. Shirley by Solicitor Jim Davis.
 Action of the grand jury ended a day of strain for Collins wno mad remained in the custody of the sheriff since killing Wells, life long friend, at 9:3O o'clock Tuesday night. The staying of Wells occur red in the dark at the house Of neighbor where he and Collins had answered calls for assistance. It was the result of mistaken identity, ac- cording to Collins and R. A. Weaver. 2021 Thirty-fifth avenue, north, at whose house Wells was killed.
 MT. Weaver stated to police offi- cers, and before the grand jury, that he had retired for the night when two men, apparently slightly intoxi- eated, came to his house and demand ed to see Mrs. McCulley" and Eva. Weaver told them a Mrs. McCulley once lived in an adjoining house but had m oved. The men persisted in efforts to enter the house. Weaver slipped out the rear of his re"idence to seek Wells, special officer, who lives at 2200 Thirtyfourth ave- nue, north.
 When the men sought to force an entrance, Mrs. Weaver and her melee, Mrs. o. s. Simmons, fled to the house of a neighbor, leaving Mrs. Summer small child, who began at once to cry, in the house. Mrs. Weaver, fearing for the safety of the child, went for Mir. Collins, who lives at 2421 Thirty-fifth avenue, north.
 Collins story of the death of his friend takes up the tale of the trag- edy at this point. He stated to po- lice officers that he obtained his gun and went to the home of Weav- CT, where he encountered Wells who was answering Weaver's call for as sistance.
 Wells accosted him with, What are you doing here," and struck him in the face Unable to recognize his assailant, Collins fired twice. One bullet took effect and resulted in Wells death a moment later.
 The stories told by Collins and Weaver were substantiated by Mrs. Weaver and Mrs. Summers. Police officers, headed by Chief McDuff, reached the scene almost immediate ly. Coroner J. D. Russum and Solici- tor Jim Davis were summoned and an investigation held at police head quarters.
 The killing was presented the grand jury by MT. Davis Wednesday morning and that body voted mo bill" shortly after o'clock in tl.e afternoon. Collins who had awaited the verdict of the jury in the sher- ifs office was released and accom- panied his wife home. Verdict of the coroner is expected tomorrow.
