NEW PRESIDENT FOR S. P. C. C.
Children Have Lost a Good Friend in
Mr.. Gerry.

New York, Nov. S.-The World says
today: Elbridge T. Gerry, founder of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children and for the past twenty-one
years at it's head, has resigned as presi-
dent of the organization.
Vernon M. Davis, former assistant dis
trict attorney, has been selected as his
successor.
Mr.. Gerry's resignation, is the culmina-
tion of fight which has lasted for years
in the legislatures and counts between
Mr.. Gerry, the state board of charities
and the New York city officials. 1t was
Mr.. Gerry's claim that while his society
got an annual appropriation from the
state of $4,000, it was secret Qrgani-
cation, not subject to state inspection.
The retirement of Mr.. Gerry was an
nounced at a meeting of the fifteen di-
rectors of the organization held several
days ago. 1t was agreed to keep the
matter as secret as possible. D. o. Mills
says that Mr.. Gerry resigned because of
the hard work involved in the presi-
dency. He had to devote all of his at
tention to it and in so doing had to me-
glect his personal affairs. Mr.. Davis
said that he did not know whether he
would accept the position or not.
