TEE RECEPTION FOR
ADMIRAL dewey
Members of the Business Mems
Association Ignored.
Alleged Faverilism in Naming the
Executive Committee.
TIE Auxiliary Body Made Up Large
Iy From thc Board of Trade
Membership.

"The Washington Business Mems Asso-
citation has been absolutely ignored in the
appointment Of the executive committee
on the reception to be given Admiral
Dewey upon his return TO this country -
said a member OF the organization last
night. The members of the organization
are anything but pleased at the action of
those having the matter in charge. Not
that they expected recognition as an asso-
citation. but that they took the initiative
by appointing a reception committee sew
eral weeks ago, and withdrew the commit
tee when the Board of Trade, through
District Commissioner Wight, asked that
such action be taken.
1t is held by the members OF the Bust
ness Mems Association that the Board of
Trade has not yet gotten over the success
of the National Peace Jubilee and that
the idea is to make the Dewey reception
purely a Board of Trade affair. The
younger organization was first TO appoint
a committee on the reception of the hero
of Manila, but, expecting that the action
of the District Commissioners would
broaden the affair and make it representa-
tive of the whole District, the refusal TO
accept the services of the committee was
taken in good grace and for the sake of
harmony no action was taken.
Now that the determination to keep the
newer organization out of the affair alto
gether has become apparent through the
personnel of the executive committee. an
noUnced yesterday, the Business Men are
up in arms against the discrimination, AMI
the matter is not likely to increase their
love for the Board Of Trade, since tat
body has earnestly stIiven TO kill the new
association.
The executive committee on the recep-
tion. as appointed yesterday by Charmt Il
Moses, is as follows:
William Henderson Hoses, Chairman; Vii
liam Van Zandt Cox, Wee Cfairman; William
7. Van Wickle, Secretary; John W. Bahson,
Treasurer; r. Ross Perry, Chairman reception
committee; W. III. Rapley. Chairman committee
on parade; Z. $. Parker. Chairman finance com
mittee; Emil C. schafer, Chairman printing
committee; Simon Wolf, Chairman committee
badges; Joseph II. Cranford- Chairman com
mittee on decorations and illuminations; Ed
ward j. StellwaEen, Chairman committee on
transportation. Archibald GIeenlees, Chairman
committee on public comfort. and r. C. Stevens,
George H. Harries. Dr. " ". Johnston A. 7.
Britton : ". Woodward, Z. {. Jones' John
Joy Edson, John D. Larner, and NJ. ]. Weller
In the above the members of the Bust
ness Mems Association are not represent
ed. either as individuals or as an organ
ization, and they feel slighted On the
other hand, the Board of Trade has
full representation, nearly every name be-
ing that of a member, and the consequent
management of affairs and credit goes en-
tirely 10 the latter organization. The
younger body does not intend 10 say
much al present but some action will BE-
taken at the next regular meeting. The
members state that they comprise nearly
LOCO of the live business men Of the Dis.
trict, and they do rot intend 10 be sat
upon by a lot of "old fossils" as they
term some members Of the Board CT Trade.
