pilgrimage to Mount Vernon on the aft
ernoon Of February q with the members

the various Jurisdictions throughout the
country. President Taft however, re-
gretted his inability to attend the an
nual banquet of that organization which

vious engagements.

The banquet at night will be attended
by the members of the memorial asso-
citation. z. II. Kemper, worshipful mas
ter Of the lodge, has charge Of the ar
rangements for the banquet.

dicted banker, who was secretary and
general manager OF the defunct Mercan-
tile Railway Building and Loan Associa-
tion, may not begin Monday. as sched-
uled. 1t is said that Hoof's attorneys
