general passenger agent of the st.

Of the railroad representatives, said the
st. Louis agents had no power to act de-
hnitely IN the matter, but added This
ia not new thing for us. and can say
for your encouragement that we believe
it TO be feasit le and good tnlng, and
we are With you. We will lay the mat
ter before the association, and use our IN
nuence and our votes TO secure the adop-
ton of the j,0O0-mile book. Later the
Passenger Association considered
the matter at some length IN
executive session, and it was
resolved to notify the business
men Of st. Louis that the st. Louis As

would recommend that the application,
which had considerable merit in 1t, be
referred to the Western States Passen-
ger Association. the Trans-Missouri,
the Central Traffic. the Southern and
the Southern Interstate Associations
respectively. These associations have
authority TO act.

steadily improving. After the routine
business before the board had
been, transacted, the SECRETARY
stated the next order of bushsses
was the election Of some member to
fill the vacancy on the board occasoned
by the death of Mr.. William Cans. The
qualifications of various members were
discussed. ard Mr.. j. l.. Kearney. gen.
eral manager of the Kinney Tobacco
Company. was unanimously elected.
Mr. Kearney ia a young man of very
superior business talents, and will
doubtless do a great deal TO further the
interests Of the association.
The following resolutions were then
offered by Mr.. John Hagan and unani
mously adopted:
Resolved, That the posts throughout
the State be requested 10 meet at least
once a month IN regular meeting or on
a call signed by members in good stand
ing.
ResOlUed. That the presidents Of the
different posts be urged to show a
greater degree Of interest ia their posts
and aid by their active cooperation the
State Board Of Directors IN their efforts
to make the Virginia Division the ban
ner division Of the country.
ResOired. That the presidents of the
different posts be required TO report IN
writing TO the secretary OF the Nir-
ginia Division at least once in every
sixty days as 10 the progress and con-
dition OF their posts. That failure TO
comply with these resolutions will sub
lect the presidents OF the posts TO trial by
Board Directors, who shall take such
action as the circumstances may re-
quire. Gross neglect OF duty Is cause,
without trial. for immediate removal.
ResOlUed. That the secretary be in
structed TO send a copy of these resolu-
tlOns to the presidents of the different
posts, and have them acknowledged by
letter of receipt.
