Is Formally Revoked

Is Formally Revoked
London, Dec. 23.--The official Ga
zette publishes the formal revocation
OF the naturalization of Sir Edgar
Sneyer. An order removing him from
the privy council also is gazetted.
Sir Edgar. who formerly was a
member of the British branch OF the
Speyer banking interests, and a mem
Der of the British privy council, had
his title to the privy councillorship
challenged in 1915. but after a hear
ing ruling was handed down by the
courts that he was entitled to remain
on the councils roll. His home is now
in New York City.
The Gazette gives the reasons al
legged for the revocation thus:
First-That he had shown himself
by act and speech to be disloyal to
His Majesty.
Second-That he had during the
war unlawfully communicated with
the subjects of an enemy state and
associated with business which was
to his knowledge carried on in suck
a manner as to assist the enemy in
the war.
The order further directs that the
wife Of Sir Edgar and their three
ehildren-Pamela. Leonora and Wv
ien-cease to be British subjects.

IDEAL SITE FOUND
FOR AUDITORIUM
Business Men to Work Out
: Project Which Is Likely
to Cost $200,000.

Business organizations here, under
the leadership of Robert N. Harper.
are making active plans to work out
= practical auditorium project.
The original proposal to take over
the Emery building, at 1st and B
streets, has been abandoned by the
business men. who now practically
have agreed upon a vacant site, con-
tanning about $4,000 square feet. that
Is sadi to be ideally located for an
auditorium. It is stated this ground
can be acquired and a suitable build
ing erected for q total cost Of not
more than 100000. The building will
be only one story high
Mr.. Harper said today that the
Chamber Of Commerce and Merchants
and Manufacturers Association are
favorable to the plan ana that the
Board Of Trade has 1t under advice
ment.
It is proposed to finance the prof.
eet through having 200 Washington
ians underwrite it.
The American Institute OF Homeo-
pathy, now in session in Washing
ton, furnishes another Illustration of
the capitals need of a convention hall,
Mr.. Harper said. This convention
brought 2,400 persons to Washington.
At its banquet, held in the large
ballroom of the New Willard Hotel
only 500 persons could be served. and
hundreds of delegates were turned
away.
Mr.. Harper said the business men
want a convention hall. which can be
provided quickly and economically,
and that the plan now under con-
federation appears to offer a satis-
factory solution of the problem.
