COMMERCIAL Club
meeting HUMMER
Scores of Members is Attend.nce,
F. e. Lister Bsing Chosen !
President and y. J. Arch:
or Re-Electedaas Secre-
tary.

The annual meeting Of the Vir-
.ginia Commercial Club last even
ing would tend toseliminate any
idea that this body4was a ''dead
:one," there being a well-flled
house in attendance, drawn there
evidently, from thesfact that the
election Of officers for the ensuing
year was the topic principally be-
fore the assemblage.
Following a call to order N. B.
Arnold spoke at length of the
fact that he had been honored by
the election two successive terms,
and while ever willing to do aught
in his power for the advancement
Of the city he believed the presid-
ency Of the club should go to
younger blood and took pleasure
in placing in nomination the name
Of F. E. Lister. The name of Max
Lewis, Of the Minnesota Dry
Goods Co., was also placed in
nomination but Mr.. Lewis posi-
lively declined being considered,
and upon motion the secretary
was instructed to cast the unanim-
GUS vote Of the assemblage for
Mr.. Lister. For first and second
vice presidents there were but one
name for each, William Rooney
and Alexander Reid, respectively,
Secretary Archer casting the bal
lot. ~:
For treasurer the names of
Douglas Greeley and B. F. Britts
were proposed, Mr.. Britts, being
in attendance, declining to be CON
sidered, and Mr Greeley being
declared the unanimous choice.
For secretary the name of w.
j. Archer, present incumbent of
the position, was the only candi-
date mentioned, j. the president
casting the vote Of the meeting un-
der instruction. ::"
For trustees there were but
three candidates, a. Hawkinson,
A. B. Coates and ~: B. Arnold,
Secretary Archer dialy casting the
unanimous vote in their favor.
The report of Secretary Archer
was called for, but was not in
readiness, but will be submitted in
due form at the next regular
meeting.
A report on the Virginia. w off
road was that such proposition
would be considered by the board
of county commissioners at a
meeting on January 9Th, and
Secretary Archer was instructed
to write the board urging that i'm
mediate action on this proposition
be taken and the work pushed as
rapidly as possible during the win
ter months.
The good roads question also
brought up the advisablity of the
appointment of committee of
three to confer with the county
board on the reapportionment of
road funds and the expenditure
Of certain sums on roads designat-
ed by the Club, such committee as
named comprising Messrs. R. l..
Griggs, A. Hawkinson and NJ.
Boylan. This committee will like
ly meet with the board tomorrow
or Monday, in furtherance Of road
projects from Virginia to Cook,
and to other points which will
bring this city in more direct
touch with the farming communi-
ties surrounding.
The meeting was prolific of
good results from a financial view.

Methodists Plan
to End Session

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, May 2l.-Indi-
cations that the general conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church will at
tempt to keep to its resolution of reach
ing an adjournment May 2S are evil
denced in the night sessions which were
begun last night for the purpose Of cast
ing a ballot for bishops, 1t Is probable
that even with the election of one or
two men today, which hardly is expect
ed by the delegates, that another night
session will be held tonight in order that
three instead of two ballots may be
taken in n day.
Since the first ballot on which DIR,
Homer C. Stuntz was elected, numerous
men have headed the no-election bal
lots for a time, only to give way when
1t seemed that the necessary ~two-thirds
vote of the delegates present could not
be obtained.
DR.. d.. G.. Downey, of New York, was
well to the fore on the second ballot,
but he gave way to DR.. w. o. Shep-
ard. of Chicago, who in turn later
dropped TO second place. ceding first
position to DR.. r. S.. Henderson. of
Brooklyn.

George B. McGrath. medical examiner
of Suffolk county, who was II Of the
witnesses at the Richeson electrocution
this morning. will recommend several
important changes in the manner of put
ting murderers to death. He believes
death should be brought on more quickly
and without some of the unpleasant
features connected with the present
method. This could he accomplished, he
by placing the electrodes over the
heart and on the back OF the neck, in
stead of on the top of the head and on
the left leg.
He expects that eventually a chair will
be devised in which the prisoner will
bring about his own execution, the func-
lions of his body automatically throwing
the current and bringing death.
