A certificate of the incorporation of
the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Asso-

on file yesterday in the Office OF ne
Recorder of Deeds for the District
The association was formed April 15
last On the occasion of dinner given
here in celebration OF the one hundred
and fifty-ninth birthday anniversary of
the author of the Declaration of Inde-
pence. Andrew A. Lipscomb of Virginia
was unanimously elected president and
W. S. Mexican of New Jersey was made
secretary At a subsequent meeting May
so, Jesse B. Wilson was elected treasur-
er of the association and constitution
adopted
The main object under consideration by
the association is the erection of me-
mortal to Thomas jefferson. 1t has been
decided that no appeal will be made TO
Congress for funds. but that the memo
rial will be subscribed to by the people
whom jefferson loved-the people Of
America 1t will be a tribute of the
masses and old and young will be ap-
pealed to.
By Popular Subscription.
Just what form the proposed memorial
will take has not been determined nor
will ii be until public sentiment in the
matter has been defined. It will depend
largely upon how liberal and prompt the
people are in responding to the request
for subscriptions but in any case the me-
mortal will be in keeping with the char
acter of Thomas Jefferson and will be
made a fitting tribute to the author of
the Declaration of Independence.
