The plans for an exhibit at the James
town Exposition under the direction OF
a foiut committee OF the three local
trades bodies which was formulated at
meeting Of the presidents of these
three organizations yesterday morning.
was given enthusiastic approval by the
directors Of the Jobbers and Shippers
Association. which held their regular
meeting in the afternoon.
Charles J. Bell, Ross p Andrews and
Monroe Luchs were named as the com
mittee from the association. and IL IS
possible that 10 these other names viii
be added. They viii join with similar
committees from the Business Mems s As
sociation and the Board Of Trade. Ac-
ton by the two latter organizations VIII
not be taken. probably until the latter
part OF next week, because OF the alb
sence from the city OF many members
Of their boards OF directors.
The headquarters of the association
viii soon be established IN the Munsey
building. Secretary Luchs this morn
ing arranged for "a lease on rooms on
the third floor, where the business OF
the association viii be conducted as
soon as the necessary furniture can be
installed.
Good Thing, Says Andrews.
Mr. Andrews has taken a special in
terest in the jamestown project His
plan IS TO erect a great casino within
the exposition grounds which shall be a
meeting place for Washington people.
Member. hip in this jamestown Exposi-
tiOn club could be secured upon the pay
ment Of subscriptions as small in
amount as one dollar and Mr.. Andrews
50 confident that with such subscriptions
SIS 900 can be obtained easily.
Il can't think of any better plan Of
bringing the advantages Of Washington
to the attention Of the people Of the
Southern States than by an exhibit at
jamestown" said Mr. Andrews. this
morning. Hundreds of thousands OF
the best people in these States viii be
at jamestown and in a receptive mood.
II We can't convince them then Of our
attractions and opportunities j doubt II
any other method viii produce this re-
suit
Macfarland Approves.
Commissioner Ma5fasislud has in
formed President Bell of the sObbers
and shippers Association of his sym
pathy with the project 10 erect a Wash
agton building at the exposition and
OF his belief that Congress can be in
duced 10 make an appropriation f0E This
purpose ] share that belief We would
not need a large sum-say $4,000 or
SIS. 000-and with that a very creditable
building might be erected.
1T would be "a meeting place for
Washington people. and an Illustration
OF WashngtOu's hospitality. IL would
be a point from which we could send
our friends on 10 see the city for them
selves.
Mr.. Andrews thinks IT might be pos
sible 10 have the exhibits Of Washing
ton merchants and business men In the
same building as that used fer club and
matter for future discussion
The Big Four Club.
The same committee will confer with
committees from the Board OF Trade
and the Business Mems Association
as 10 the proposed Four Hundred Thou
sand Club. which shall have for its
purpose the increase OF the population
Of the city 10 that figure by 1910 In
this project Mr.. Luchs takes sDe-
cial interest. and he is very anxious
10 see II carried TO q successful con-
summation.
