sent his resignation to the officials Of
the Association. and that a man who
now holds position in one OF the
departments at Washington had been
decided on as the successor OF Mr.

could be verified, although the thought
given the rumors seem to have been
accepted by many men who have the
future life Of the Chamber OF Com
