PLANS HAVE GONE AWRY
Endeavor Delegates to Boston Ex-
Serience a Disappointment.
Brookly mites Refuse to Go On the
Tuesday Boat and Even Talk of
Law Suit.

1t was an enthusiastic cultured crowd
Of Christian Endeavors that gathered in
tie Sunday School house of The Calvary
Baptist Church last night They were the
young people who Will make up the Dis
tTict delegation To the Boston Interna-
tonal Convention of 80, and were as
semhled to hear the latest news regard
ing the arrangements for the trip of the
Washington contingent
Tie most important news as given ont
by Mir. Percy S. Foster was the statement
that, owing TO the action of some of the
Brooklyn Endeavors the local committee
is just now unable TO positively assert
whether the Washiugtouians Will have
part use Of a special sound steamer or be
compelled TO go from New York to Provi-
deuce on regular boat
1t seems that the Brooklynites object
to going next Tuesday, and have even
| threatened to take Il special boat the next
day and sue the Washington committee for
the amount of the balance OF tickets un-
sold. Some of the Endeavorers Of the
New York suburb have declared that a
majority OF the local delegates do not want
TO 20 Tuesday, but at the meeting last
night this insinuation was unanimously
refuted by a rising vote and the trans
portation committee will make another
strenuous effort TO get the special boat
for Tuesday afternoon
Mr.. Foster said the District special will
leave the Baltimore and Ohio depot at
1910 Tuesday morning and reach Boston
i'll good season for breakfast Wednesday.
Quite number Of tickets have already
been sold and other delegates may obtain
them only at the office Of Mr.. n T Elliott
No. G23 u street northwest. MIR Foster
was especially emphatic in the statement
that if the District Endeavorers expect
to get the promised low hotel rate at least
$50 of them must put up at the Cupley
Square House.
Previous to the delegates meeting there
was a hrief meeting OF the union executive
committee.
IL is proposed to carry two District ban
ners to the Boston convention. One of these
VIII be the blue silk emblem which has been
carried to many rast International convcn-
tions The other and new banner was
made last night and consists of d neat COM
| bination OF the badges of The several local
senior and Junior societies. 1t Is a very
handsome affair thoroughly representative
of the spirit OF local Endeavorers.
Upon recommendation of Secretary John
B. Sleman ii was decided 10 appoint
committee to make arrangements for the
as may pass through Washington on their
return home from the convention. 1t was
at first proposed to have grand rally OF
Southern delegates, but owing to tie fact
that only a few Southern EnGcavorers
are going or returning via this city, the idea
was abandoned
Reports from several union committees
Were submitted
Mr.. John d. Morgan, of the press commit
! Je, said that the July number of the Dis
trict Endeayorer VIII be devoted almost
exclusively To Information concerning the
convention OF 'a5, and historic points in
and around Boston.
The annual report of the missionary com
mittee was concise resume of the work of
that committee, and stated among other
things that fifteen District Endeayorers
have volunteered TO go TO the foreign
mission field. The report also offered
number OF practicat suggestions TO the
societies.
The committee of 80 reported that the
matter Of decoration of Copley Square
Hotel and the District booth in Mechanics
building had been left in charge of the
transportation committee.
