BY EDWARD C. STONE.

Plans for the fifteenth annual con-
vention of the District OF Columbia
Bankers Association were given a big
push yesterday by the appointment OF
the complete general convention COM
mittee and announcement OF the PROP
able place of holding the yearly ses-
sions. Pres. C. H. Pope recently ap-
pointed Karl W. Corby, of w. B. Hibbs
& Co., as general chairman. Yesterday
Chairman Corby announced the other
committee members, with Frank j.
Stryker, president of the Columbia Ma
tional Bank, as vice chairman.
A number of places have been consid-
cred by the council of administration,
including Atlantic City, Hot Springs,
Va, White Sulphur Springs, w. Va, and
Virginia Beach. The latter is highly
favored because of its proximity and its
advantages for convention purposes. In
the event of its selection, it is planned
to have the exclusive use of one of the
palatial steamers of the Norfolk and
washington Steamboat Line for the
round trip.
Previous conventions have been held
at Deer Park, Md, White Sulphur and
Hot Springs and Ashevile, N. G. On
two occasions the association journeyed
to Montauk Point, Long Island, and in
1920 the convention was held on board
steamer cruising on the Potomac,
York and James Rivers and Chesapeake
Bay. If Virginia Beach is selected, 1t
will be the first time in four years that
an ocean resort has been chosen.
The date of the annual gathering has
not been decided, but will probably be
in the second week of June. Local
bankers are anticipating that the sub
jects for discussion will prove of un-
usual value and benefit to the associa-
tion and the community it serves At
tendance of directors of banks at pre-
vicus gatherings has been found to be
a very helpful feature in the study of
bank policies and management and it
is expected that this year will bring
them in even greater numbers.

Two ID. c. POlicyholders Lost"
More than 225 people, scattered
throughout the United States, will be
interested to know that the Connecticut
Mutual Life Insurance Company of
Hartford, Conn, desires to earn their
whereabouts and in many instances is
ready and anxious to pay them money.
Several District of Columbia people will
benefit directly from the search now
being carried on for lost poltcyholders'
or their heirs.
With nearly 10000 policyholders
having life insurance in this company.
there is, always small group who fail
to give proper notification of change
in address. Since 1911, when the Con-
necticut Mutual undertook the first or
ganized search of this nature by any
life insurance company, many lost pol
1cyholders or their heirs have been To-
Gated, to whom the company has paid
considerable sum of money.
Two District of Columbia people now
appear on this lost" list. They are
Jens V. Rasmussen and Lewis S. Stein,
who gave Washington addresses when
last heard from. Information relative
to either or both of them may be fur
