TO ANSWER
RETAILERS JULY !.
Special Committee to Decide
in Matter of Affi|ia-
ton.

Consideration Of the demand made by
the Retail Merchants Association upon
the parent body, the Chamber of Com
merce, for the privilege to enroll as men,
bers retail merchants of Washington,
who are not and need not become men,
bers of the Chamber of Commerce, will
be given at a meeting July 1 Of the
special committee appointed by the board
of governors of the Chamber of Com
merce.
The special committee consists Of Isaac
Cans chairman; John Dolph. B. w. Guy,
Joseph Stoddard and William F. GUIDE.
The matter comes before the committee
in the form of a proposed amendment to
section 6, paragraph Z, Of the constitu-
ton. which requires members Of affiliated
organizations to be members OF the
Chamber of Commerce. The committee
will approve or disapprove the appeal.
The question has been before the Cham
Der of Commerce for some time, being
referred to the board of governors, to the
special committee, back to the entire
membership of the Chamber Of Com
merce, and recommitted. There Is indtca-
ton of a strong sentiment among men,
bers Of the affiliated body for separa-
ton, no matter what the decision OF the
Chamber Of Commerce.
The payment of $50 year to the
Chamber Of Commerce for membership in
the Retail Merchants Association is the
prime factor of consideration. Many
merchants, 1t is contended, are unwilling
to meet this payment, and the dues. it is
urged, should be applied to the expenses
Of the Retail Merchants Association, now
met by subscription.
A resolution for separation from the
Chamber Of Commerce. offered at the
monthly meeting of the Retail Merchants
Association Monday, was referred to a
special meeting to be called by the presi-
dent some time during the second week
in July. when it is expected that the
verdict of the Chamber of Commerce will
have been rendered.

BOYS ADR|FT ON RAFT
RESCUED BY WG|[ANT
Show Heroism by Refusal to
Desert Youngest of Trio,
Unable to Swim.

Adrift on the Potomac and floating
down stream on a frail raft made OF a
couple of logs and few pieces of board.
Frank Wrenn, his brother. William
Wrenn. and Clifton Brown had the fright
of their lives yesterday afternoon before
they were picked up by the police boat
Vigilant.
The two Wrenn boys live at 2505 l
street northwest, while young Brown
home is at 2141 E street. The boys, with
other companions. some time ago con-
structed a raft Of drift-wood, which they
had anchored at the government wharf.
Here they have been in the habit of
playing pirate or sailor, and have used
the raft as a platform from which to
make fancy dives while swimming in the
river.
Yesterday afternoon the three boys, with
three others about their age, were play
ing on the raft, when the moorings that
held it to the shore became unfastened.
The raft had drifted several feet from
the wharf before the boys noticed their
predicament Three of the boys promptly
sprang overheard and swan ashore.
Refuse to Desert Frank.
The two Wrenn boys and young Brown,
however, stayed. William Wrenn, who is
twelve years old, can swim. and SO can
Clifton Brown. But Frank Wrenn, who
is only ten, can't. and the two lads re-
fused to desert him.
The raft drifted out into the current and
down the river. with the boys calling for
help that failed to come. At the High
way bridge Frank Wrenn was crying,
and the older boys were trying to COM
fort him and at the same time keep up
their own courage by saying that some
one would soon come and take them off
the raft.
Then the Vigilant came along. The boys
were taken off the raft and the Vigilant
bore them safe to shore, while the frail
craft that had served them as plaything
and then had treacherously carried them
down the river f1oated on down the
stream.

ram schooner Mabel and Ruth, which ar
rived here yesterday morning with lum-
Der and laths from Newbern. N. c.. re-
ports having had long and rather rough
trip Coming UP Pamlico sound the
schooner was forced to lay at anchor for
three days in a heavy northeast gale,
which caused such a heavy sea on the
sound that the water broke clean over
the high deck load she had aboard. The
decks of the schooner became flooded and
the crew had trouble in keeping her free.
After the storm was over the wind came
out from the north and the schooner had
to beat all the way to Buck Island, the
entrance to the canal. Three days were
spent there before tug came to tow her
through the canal to Norfolk, and from
Norfolk here the winds were unfavorable
except for two days, and then the schoon-
err got in the Potomac and up to City,
