The subcommittee on trust companies of

chairman of the executive committee.
made an address. The members of the
committee have gone to work enthusi-
astically to make their portion of the en-
tertainment of the delegates success.
The program for the meeting of the trust
company section Of the convention was
presented and discussed. The members of
the committee decided to entertain all the
delegates to the section meeting at lunch
con on Tuesday.
Other entertainments will be given
members of the section. all of whom will,
of course, enjoy the program of enter

ers' association.
Plans for Banquet.
The indications are that the banquet to be
given by the District bankers In honor of
the officers of the American Bankers As
ISOLATION at the New Willard Hotel next
Tuesday evening will be one of the most inn
portant social events of the season. While
the great mass of the bankers that are to
come here next week will be here on pleas
ure bent, as well as to attend the meetings
of the convention, the officers of the asso-
citation are to have a hard row to hoe
throughout the time of the meetings and it
has been deemed fitting and proper that
they should be given some little attention
socially.
In order that they may begin their DELHI
erations in pleasant frame of mind fifty of
the local bankers have prepared to give
them a feast the evening before the con-
the New Willard and will be social func-
ton, pure and simple. The local bankers
desire that this idea shall be very clearly
understood. The usual long drawn out for
NAL affairs that are half food and half
speeches will find no counterpart in the din
ner to which the bankers have invited their
guests There will probably be no speeches.
1t was at first intended to invite Secretary
Shaw to speak, but since he has been re-
quested to make several other addresses
during the convention, and as he will be
guest of the District financiers as a bank
president more than as Secretary OF the
Treasury, 1t Is believed he will not be CALI
ed upon. President John Joy Edison OF the
District of Columbia Bankers Associa ton
will preside.
Thousand Delegates Expected.
1t Is expected there will be about q
thousand persons in attendance at the
opening session of the convention who have
been duly accredited as delegates to the
convention. Each member of the associa-
ton is permitted to have voice in the man
agemeHt of it's affairs. and each state bank
ers' association is allowed a delegate for
every fifty members. whether the ind1viu-
uals selected members OF the national
organization or not. The District of CO.
lumbia Bankers Association will have one
delegate. The president of the association,
Mr. John Joy Edison, will probably be Sc
lected.

sentatives who will attend the convention

der the direction of Mr.. B. F. Saul, rresi-
dent of the Home Savings Bank. Mr. Saul
