Letter and Memorial.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ACTS

Miss Barton's resignation of the presi-
dency of the American Red Cross yes
terday and the election of Mrs. John A
Logan to the head OF the society. were
not steps toward the reorganization OF
the society on compromise lines sug-
gested by Gen. John W. Foster
Mrs Logan denies that she has had
any official notification OF the Foster
plan for reorganization which was laid
before the Red Cross investigating COM
mittee, of which Senator Proctor is
chairman. The remonstrants who forced
the investigation had nothing TO do with
the advancement OF Mrs. Logan to the
presidency. and say they win not sup
port the society while 1t operates under
It's present constitution and bylaws.
Consequently the changes brought
about in the organization yesterday by
the Barton followers will have no ef-
feet on the controversy between the two
factions of the society. While Miss
Barton and her supporters allege that
they acted in the hope of restoring
harmony, it is intimated by the remon-
strants that the Barton faction brought
about a change in the head of the Red
Cross in the hope of heading or further
investigation of the finances of the So
ciety.
Conference With Committee.
Immediately after Mrs Logan was
elected TO the presidency of the orEani-
zation yesterday she held a conference
with the members OF the executive com
mittee, Gen. Nelson a. Miles. Eugene B.
Fisk. S. S. Hege, and S. ". Briggs. at
which it was decided that meeting OF
the full board of trustees shall be held
on May 26 when the policy of the new
administration Will be outlined. It is
said that Miss Barton will attend that
meeting and transfer all the assets and
papers OF the society TO Mrs Logan.
A meeting of the full society will also
be called for September 6, at which no
proxies viii be accepted. The announce
ment that proxies will not be accepted is
especially significant, as too free a use
OF them at the annual meeting of the
society two years ago provoked the
storm which caused the remonstrants
to secede and force an investigation OF
Red Cross methods.
Want the Investigation.
Miss Mabel T. Boardman and other
remonstrants who were seen last night
say they viii not agree to any compro-
mise measure which provides for a less
thorough reorganization than that sug-
gested by Gen. John w Foster. Ac-
cording TO his plan. the society would
have a governing board Of twelve mem
bers, four OF whom would be named by
President Roosevelt, four by Miss Bar
tons supporters. and four by the remon-
strants
