ington steamers sail on their runs to and
from this city and Norfolk, allowing pas
sengers to view the great destroyers at
close range and adding much to the in
terest of the trip down the Potomac
Two sail!ngs are made daily from 7th
street wharf, one at am, the other
at $50 pm. Norfolk and Washington

and most perfectly equipped steamers on
the Potomac. Their well-furnished state

WANTS A SECRETARY
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE EN-
PHASIZES ITS NEED.

1T is the judgment of this meeting that
the work of the Chamber of Commerce
requires the employment of a secretary
commensurate with the task not only of
administering the accustomed affairs OF
the secretary's office. but also of bringing
new business to Washington and with
giving his whole time to the work of the
chamber"
The foregoing resolution was adopted by
an almost unanimous vote at meeting
yesterday afternoon of the chairmen and
vice chairmen of the standing committees
of the Washington Chamber of Com
merce. Ii was the sense of those pres
ent that the secretary should give his
whole time to the interest of the organi-
zation. The resolution was offered by
Mr. Allan d. Albert. and it's adoption
was received with enthusiasm and sew
eral chairmen addressed the meeting. One
committeeman said he would personally
guarantee one-twentieth of the secretary's
salary.
In indorsng the resolution, the mem
bers of the several committees said they
had in view for the new position man
of the type of the present secretary, Will
liam F. GUIDE. For several reasons, 1t
was added. Mr.. Guide could not accept the
permanent position. not being bile to de-
vote his whole time to it
Wholesale Trade.
G. A. Semmes. chairman of the COM
mittee on wholesale trade, said that there
would be enough work during the coming
year in connection with the wholesale
trade alone to keep a secretary constantly
busy. ID. J. Kaufman, of the committee
on retail trade. declared that with the
present plants of his committee to in
duce shoppers 10 visit Washington during
the coming winter that depa rtment would
require the services of a special secre-
tary.
1t was stated that the chamber has
started movement to defeat the alleged
plan of the railroad companies entering
Washington TO force the public, through
extra charges for tickets. to pay the cost
of building the new union station and its
approaches. President Harper has ap-
pointed a committee to take up the sub
Ject with the railroad companies and as
certain. if possible. what the intention is
and work to have such plan abrogated, II
it is actually determined upon.

Grant Monument Site.


Referring to the controversy concerning
the future location of the Grant memorial.
permit me to say. through your columns,
that If the memorial must be located in
the Botanic Gardens why not place /,
in the center of the grounds, midway be-
tween 1st and Sd streets, fronting on
Pennsylvania avenue. and at a proper
distance from the Bartholdi fountain.
This would prevent the proposed destruc-
ton of fine trees and perhaps would sat
isfy public opinion.
If the nude figure of Washington were
removed from the plaza at the east front
of the Capitol and located on some site
more appropriate for that peculiar and in
congruous work of art. and the Grant
memorial located there. the general public
would acquiesce. This suggestion bears
no reflection on the name fame and noble
deeds of Gen. Washington. who during
life, never posed in such a ridiculous at
