James poured a soothing stream Of

preached Bill on the stsrboard side and
doubled the potion. Gibson remained
steadfastly at 33 l-3 per cent Ike said

BIG CONVENTION HALL
| FOR WASHINGTON URGED
Citizens Northwest Suburban Asso-
citation Passes Resolution
Unanimously.
Members Divided on Question of Pro-
posed Power Plant at Great Falls.
Other Matters Discussed.

The citizens must unite to make
Washington the most popular city in
| the United States" declared President
Charles c. Lancaster, speaking in favor
| of a resolution calling for the erection
| of a national convention hall to seat at
| least 10000 people, to be erected by
Congress, presented at the first meet
| ing of the season of the Citizens
Northwest Suburban Association held
| in the Masonic Hall at Tenleytown last
night.
The resolution, introduced by Mr..
Lancast and unanimously passed by
the association, declared that the forty
ninth encampment of the G. A. r., just
coming to a close, "emphasizes the fact
that this city has no national conven-
ton hall capable of seating 10000 pco-
pie"
The resolution calls upon Congress to
appropriate at it's coming session 81
100000 to erect the hall, "a classic
amphitheater," one-half of the sum to
be payable by the United States and
the other half by the District of Co
lumbia, "in compliance with the organic
act of 1878" An appeal is made to all
the citizens of the District to CO.

that the building may be completed be-
fore March 4, 1917. A copyNof the resolu
tion will be transmitted by Secretary
Alex. ]. Yowell to President Wilson, to
Congress, to the Commissioners and to
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions.
Citizens brought out last night that
the people Of the District Ought to
have here convention hall superior
to any in the United States" 1t seemed
the belief of the speakers that the hall
is a necessity not only from a patriotic
standpoint, but from commercial one.

Split on Great Falls Plant.

A proposition introduced by Fred J.
Heider, voicing opposition to "any efforts
by the board of Commissioners to secure
an appropriation to build the proposed
power plant at or near the Great Falls
of the Potomac was laid over until the
next meeting of the association, after
lengthy discussion by the citizens.
According to the resolution there is
no public need now or in the near future
for such an expensive and dangerous
project, and we believe that such a costly
scheme would tax our people far beyond
our ability to pay
I'VE agree with the Secretary of War
in his published report that this project
should not be undertaken at this time
owing to the enormous COST adds the
resolution.
All the citizens who spoke upon the
proposition last night did not seem to
agree wholly with the Secretary of War
Alfred P. Seller spoke of the advantages
Of similar projects carried on in other
cities; and Thought that the proposed
plant might be good thing for the Dis
trict. John w. Chappell, A. E. Shoe
maker, w. E. Osnund. Fred W. Ban
gerter and Mr.. Vowel spoke in favor of
the resolution. All the speakers. how
ever, seemed agreed that the subject is
a large one, SO it was unanimously agreed
to defer final consideration of the resolu-
ton until the next meeting.
