LOCAL CIVIC COUNCIL
HEARS BRIEF REPORTS
Annual Election of Officers for
Ensuing Year to Occur Late
This Afternoon.

The District Of Columbia Council OF
the National Civic Federation began
its annual meeting at the Willard
Hotel at 3 o'clock this afternoon for
the purpose Of hearing brief oral re-
ports on the years work and to elect
officers for the ensuing year.
1t was stated at the beginning OF the
meeting that all the present officers
would probably not be reelected, il
the wishes Of at least two of them are
respected, inasmuch as the chairman
of the executive committee Henry b.
+. Macfarland, and the secretary of
the organization, Frederick l.. Siddons,
are SO much occupied with other work
that they feel they cannot spare the
time the coming year to the federation
that the holders of these important
positions should give.
At the election to come late this
afternoon it is hoped by many men,
bers Of the federation that former
Chief Justice Stanton J. Peelle, who
has recently retired from the Court Of
Claims. may be prevailed upon to ac-
cept election as chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee in Mr. Macfarland's S
place. and that Charles Westcott may
be induced to accept election as secretary
in Mr. Siddons pace. The other officers
who will come up for reelection are
as follows:
First vice chairman. Admiral c. H.
Stockton L. S. N, retired: second vice
chairman, George X. McLanahan; third
vice chairman. Arnold Hague; fourth
vice chairman, DR.. Charles P. Neill, and
treasurer, George w. White.
Ask Relief From Official Duties.
Mr.. Macfarland and Mr.. Siddons do
not intend to sever their connection with
the work of the federation. They merely
flee. Mr.. Macfarland will probably con-
tinue to retain the Office of chairman Of
the committee on reform in legal pro-
cedure, as will the following other chair
men of standing committees: Uniform
commercial laws. Walter c. Clephane; reg
ulation of industrial corporations, Archi-
bald Hopkins: good roads and automobile
regulations, William Phelps Emo: pure
food and drugs. DR.. Harvey w Wiley; COM
pensation for Industrial accidents. Grant
Hamilton: taxation, DIR. Ralph Jenkins: ]:
insurance. John Dolph: banking, Henry
Cleveland Perkins, and mediation or in
dGstrlal disputes, DR.. James Brown Scott
The work of the District Of Columbia
Council OF tire National Civic Federation
is carried out under the incentive or the
national oreanization and has to do
principally with attempting to bring
about uniform legislation in the various
states and In the territories and the Dis
trict on subjects classified under the
names Of the standing commi. ees given.
