THE COMMIfTEE TO
MEET ADMIRAL DEWEY
Citizens Named to Represent
the National Capital.
A Call for a Meeting TO Be Issued
Within a Few Days.
The Question of Sending n DeIeEn-
ton TO New York-COnference
mt the District Building.

At the suggestion Of the Washington
Board of Trade the District Commissioners
yesterday afternoon appointed committee
of one hundred citizens to represent the
National Capital and make suitable prepar-
ations for the welcoming of Admiral Dewey
on his return to this city next fall.
The matter was brought to the attention
of the District authorities during the latter
part of May, when Commissioner Wight
prepared the following memorandum and
forwarded it TO his associates, Commission
ers Ross and Beach;
Theodore W. Moves called 10 see me on May
p in reference to the resolution in order to
say that it might be well for the Commits
sioners to consider the question of being rep
resented, if it should be found necessary, in
general committee OF welcome to receive Admiral
Dewey when he arrives in New York city, pro-
vided the reception rendered him there is to be
national in its character, and participated in by
the various States Of the Union.
That committee he said, might be a small
one, representative Of the National Capital.
If, however, the New York celebration is to be
simply local, it will not be necessary to do any
thing with reference 10 il. In regard TO the APP
pointment OF a committee to receive Admiral
Dewey when he arrives in Washington | would
suggest that committee OF one hundred be
named, and each OF the Commissioners Submit a
list from which such committee gould be made
up. Perhaps it might be well to confer with
MIR. Noyes IN regard to the personnel OF this
committee.
A conference was held with Mr. Noyes
in the board room at the District Building
shortly after o'clock yesterday afternoon
and at O'Clock the following committee
was announced:
