The Brattleboro board of trade will
hold its annual meeting in the board of
trade rooms tomorrow evening at 7.30

session there will be an address and a
buffet luncheon.
A. w. Donly, who is familiar with the
commercial life of Mexico, will speak on
Thoughts and Suggestions of Canadian
Errant in the Land of the Montezumas.
A committee of the board of trade was
appointed in June last year to draft and
present new constitution to a mem
bers' meeting at the first opportunity
This committee has voted unanimously
to recommend constitution which it
has prepared. In general, this constitu-
tion provides for two or three changes, as
well as the elimination of some obsolete
material in the old constitution.
1t is proposed to change the name to
the Brattleboro Chamber of Commerce
The committees reasons for this are
first, that it is in line with the progress
of bodies of this nature when they are
committed to a civic commercial pro-
gram. Keene, y. H., Greenfield, Mass.
North Adams, Mass, Pittsfeld, Mass.
and Northampton, Mass, all recently
have changed their names to Chamber OF
Commerce; second, % per cent of organ
izations in this country are known as
chambers of commerce.
The constitution places individual re-
sponsibility on the members instead OF
putting all of it upon the directors
Formerly, the board of directors was the
| legislative body of the organization
Under the program planned for this year
which is working very satisfactorily, it Is
desired that the members of the organ
ization should assume the responsibility
of determining the policy of the chamber
of commerce and leave to the director,
and its officers the execution of the pol
icy. This constitution definitely provide.
for that responsibility to be borne by th'
members.
The election of board of directors il
made a direct function of the member

gust-Accepts Crane Place.

WASHINGTON. March 30.-Presi-
dent Wilson will spend the summer at
Woods Hole, Mass, where the sum
mer White House viii be established
on the estate of Charles R. Crane, the
Chicago business man recently appoint
ed to China.
Arrangements already are being
made for moving the President and his
family and a good part of the execu-
tive offices there for at least the last
two weeks of June and all of July and
August The Crane estate is an exten-
sive country place which overlooks
Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound
and is close by Martha s Vineyard, an
island which figures in colonial history.
President Taft and his family spent
their summers at Beverly, Mass.
The plan to spend the summer on the
New England coast, DR.. Grayson said
meant that the President could con-
tinue the program of motor riding,
possibly some short yachting trips
probably on the Mayfower, and might
even get in a few holes of golf if his
improvement continues. The trip from
Washington viii be by train, the May
flower going up later.
Secretary Houston has place at
Woods Hole near the summer White
House and other beautiful estates are
close by. DIR. Grayson decided to ae,
cept Mr.. Cranes offer, it is said, be
cause he wanted the President away
from the oppressive heat of Washing
ton in midsummer and because he
wanted him near the salt water.
Under present arrangements The
President will be in New England
while the Democratic national conven
tion is in session in San Francisco, al
though congress from all indication!
now will nominally be in session, bu
actually will be transacting no busi
ness by gentlemen IS agreement be
tween the leaders. There have beer
some hints that the President nigh
reserve the much expected official an
nouncement as to whether he want
a third term, for presentation at TIL
convention, and if that be true, h
probably would prepare his letter a
| the summer White House.
The usual staff of secretaries, clerks
stenographers and secret service me-
will accompany the President Spe
cial telephone and telegraph wires vii
be installed, and to all practical pur
poses the White House will be i
