 having no voice in the matter. After remarks by w. w. Pearson, c. W. Buck ley. Bradford Hardie. S. c. Starke and others, 1t was decided to give the league power to approve or disapprove any action of the Executive Committee. l F. c. Shepard. who had been presid- ing as chairman, Suggested that as he was about to leave the city. it would | be well to chose another temporary chairman. John W. Durr. Jr, was unanimously chosen.
 On motion, committee of five mem bers was appointed to arrange for a public meeting, when officers of the league will be chosen. It was urged that this committee do all in its power to arouse interest. MT.
