TO CONSIDER MERGER PLAN
BOARD OF TRADE DIRECTORS
WILL HOLD SPECIAL MEETING.
Consolidation With Chamber o
Commerce the Subject-Details
of the Proposition.

A special meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Board of Trade will be held
tomorrow afternoon at 4:15 o'clock to con-
slider the report of the committee appoint
ed in the spring to confer with a similar
committee of the Chamber of Commerce
looking to the merger of the two organ
iZationS
1t was found at the conference between
the two committees early In the year that
the board of directors of the Board of
Trade seemed to be averse to any con-
sderation of the proposition. If 1t would
affect their corporate organization. Final
~ it was decided to submit a tentative
proposition for the merger adapted to the
present charter of the Board of Trade.
under the name of the Washington Board
of Trade. The report of the committee
from the Board of Trade. however, al
though submitted long ago. has not yet
been considered by the board of directors.
1t is said that new objections to the
merger have been advanced by members
of the Chamber of Commerce, and the
union of the two organizations is prob
ably more remote than ever.
The committee handling the subject for
the Board of Trade is composed of John
B. Larner, Thomas W. Smith and William
G.. Henderson, while that representing
the Chamber of Commerce is composed
of Jackson II. Ralston, Allen D. Albert
and d. J. Callaghan.

CASE MAY BE DROPPED.
Maryland Authorities Fail to Appear
Against Coldenstroth.

Because representa- ves of Prince
George county. Md, failed to appear in
the Supreme Court of the District OF
Columbia today in the habeas corpus
proceedings Of George w. Coldenstroth,
against whom a bench warrant for al
legged violation of the gambling laws of
Prince George county had been issued. a
further continuance of the hearing was
rendered necessary. Inspector Boardman
had gone to considerable trouble to have
the case presented, the warrant for Col
denstroth having been sent here by a
deputy sheriff with a request for his ar
rest. and he was at a loss to understand
why some interest had not been mani
tested in the case by the Maryland au-
thorities.
This afternoon the police official got
in communication with Deputy Sheriff
Garrison. who had sent the warrant here,
and learned from him that requisition
papers for the accused would not be OBJ
tanned from Gov. Crothers. Inspector
Boardman was told that the state would
take no further action In the matter and
United States Attorney Baker was so
Informed. 1t is likely that the proceed
ings will be discontinued tomorrow In
spector Boardman was al so told that the
Maryland authorities did not want James
La Fontaine arrested.
