 He asked to have Secretary Tibbits state what had been done by the New Haven Chamber of Commerce and the secretary stated that Secretary Julian said they had not decided yet whether to join the State Chamber of Com merce.
 Plan of Joining.
 IF. H. Smith stated that Business Mems associations would join the Chamber of Commerce without charge but Boards of Trade joining would pay fee of $25 and there would be per capita tax on a sliding scale.
 c, D.. Moves. when called upon by the president. as many of the others had been for an expression of opinion, said that he favored the sentiment in the resolutions, but might not favor the plan of utilization proposed. Rather strong one.
 Invitation Useless.
 J. c. Isbister, a member of the Bus mess Mems association, said that it would be a waste of time to pass the resolution inviting the Business Men to join the Board of Trade. He could not see but what an aff1liation under another name was the best. plan, and then one organization would not swal- low the other.
 Judge Ayling remarked that it seem ed to be decided already anyway and it was a situation where you can join our lodge or not. If they can ~come together under another name, why not under this one?
 President Macpherson stated that he had been in communication with. a representative of the Business Mems association with a proposition to give them possibly half the membership on the executive committee of the Board of Trade until such time as the state chamber of commerce had proved it. self and then a possible change to a local chamber of commerce might fol- low. He was told this was an inn possibility.
 Then the two votes were passed and the Ineetinr adjourned.

Editor Of Army and Navy Journal De- clares at Meeting of National Se- curity League.

New York, Dec. S.-tAu the stand ing army could be put into the stadium at Yale and there would be a third of the space for the citizens to stand in and admire the soldiers said Colonel William Conant Church. editor of the Army and Navy Journal, at meeting today of the National Security league, recently formed to insure an adequate system of national defense. Colonel Church added that hardly fifty per cent. of the national guard have quail flied for craftsmanship and continued: ::

 Committees on naval, military and coast defense were formed at today's meeting. J. Bernard Walker. editor of the Scientific American. and Rob- ert w.

w. w. RocKHILL, DISTINGUISHED
 AMERICAN DIPLOMAT, DEAD
Was on His Way to China When IT, ness Overlook Him at Honolulu.


 Honolulu, Dec. S.--William W. Rock hill, the distinguished American dip lomat, died here today.
 Washington. D. C., Dec. S.-William W. Rockhil was born in Philadel- phia in 1854 and was educated in France, being one of the few American graduates of the great French mill tary school of St. Cyr. He entered the diplomatic service as second secretary at Picking in 1884 and was afterward charge of the American legation at Seoul Korea. At the conclusion of his Chinese and Thibetan explorations he held the post of chief clerk in the department of state for a brief period and in 1894 became third assistant secretary of state, from which he was promoted to be first assistant secre- tary.
 In 1892 he received his first mission, going to Athens as American minister to Greece, Rounania and Servia Two years of foreign service, afforded an opportunity to complete certain studies he was pursuing and he returned to the United States to become the di- rector of the Bureau of International American Republics which post he held for six years. relinquishing it to ac- cept the Chinese mission, where he served four years. From Peking MT. Rockhi1l was promoted to be ambas- sador at St. Petersburg, where he re- mained for two years and at his own request, in 1911, was transferred to the embassy at Constantinople. This last change was made by MT. Rock hill in order that he might acquire material by personal observation for literary work he had in hand re- lating to the history of the Turkish empireH Also. it was stated by his friends that he found the post at St. Petersburg far too expensive for his modest private means
 November 20th, 1913, having been relieved by Ambassador Morgenthau, MT. Rockhil1 left Constantinople and terminated his connection with the American diplomatic service. However, he was not to remain long unemploy- ed, for President Yuan Shi Kai, his old friend, fully acquainted with his abilities and warm friendship for China, quickly retained him as one of the financial advisers of the Chinese government. He was on his way to China in company with Mrs. Rock hill from San Francisco when obliged to land at Honolulu on account of his severe illness.
