CAle W.T. OF all DUNBAR mare
wits, Frank j. Hogan, Is going
to be the toastmaSter.
: Mr.. Hogan, it is said, will put
lots Of people on the grill.
Mr.. Hogan, as everyone knows,
is the general counsel of Riggs
National Bank, and also Of the
association. He is one of the
country'S most famous lawyers
and his forensic ability is noted.
There will be a great enter.
tainment program, but chief in.
terest Is in the fact that there
will be three speakers, who are
expected to expound much
knowledge about banking. They
are Roger j. Whiteford, general
counsel of the Hamilton Ma
tional Bank; Maurice G.. Rosen-
berg, president Of the Bank of
Commerce and Savings, and
Robert v. Fleming, president Of
Riggs National Bank.
=. Approximately 200 local mem.
berS Of the association are ex.
pected to attend, as are 81 distin-
guished guests whose names have
not been announced.
<
Prior to the dinner there will
be the annual golf tournament
for the Robert v. Fleming cup.
It will begin at 1880 .. m. Ap-
proximately 40 bankers are en-
tered In the tourney. And believe
us, the competition Is going to be
intense, with handicaps and what
not. AS usual the prizes will be
awarded at the dinner, which al
ways precedes the annual conven-
ton. The annual event will be
staged this year at White Sulphur
Springs.
Eliot H. Thomson, Of the Wash
1ngton Loan and Trust Company,
is the busiest man in local finan-
cial circles these days. He not
only attends to his duties at the
bank, which includes feeding the
press advertisements and items,
but he also is doing a great job
publicizing the pre-convention
bankers dinner tonight and the
annual convention to be held in
May. Mr.. Thomson has the rep
utation of being an indefatigable
worker, and this probably &C.
counts for the load that has been
piled on his shoulders. His extra
work comes from the fact that
he is publicity expert for the Dis.
trict Of Columbia Bankers ASsoci-
alton.
= It's said that Alexander Nc
Cook ("Cookie') Dunlop, of Hemp
hill, Noyes and Company, does
not milk his goats. They are
there, 'tis said, merely to keep
him from having to NOW his ex-
tenSive lawn. Mr.. Dunlop, as
everyone in his neighborhood
knows, keeps goats. They are not
symbolical.
j. i He still is one Of the best Of the
stock brokerage boys and he's 60
ing great guns. So, you see. the
goats mean nothing at all.
:: Actually. it's said, Mr.. Dunlop
has the goats for his child's
pleasure.
z. c. Graham, president of the
Hamilton National Bank, was
among the prominent financiers
seen at the opening baseball
game yesterday.
So was Robert c. Jones, of
Robert c. Jones & Co., Inc.
One financial enthusiast was
lnissing-JameS P. Schick, presi-
dent Of the National Mortgage
and Investment Company. He
had too much business to attend
to, despite his love for the dia-
n1ond paStime.
Local brokerage people are de-
lighted that Richard Whitney is
70 be returned as president of
the New York Stock Exchange.
The election is scheduled for May
~ and Mr.. Whitney has no op-
position. Under the rules, all
nominations are closed, since the
nominating committee met.
:, william Montgomery, president
Of the Acacia Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company, announces that
his organization has lent more
than $500, 900 to District residents
during the past three months for
the purpose of obtaining or
building new homes.
