C. OF C. OFFIGERS FOR YEAR ELECTED Lewis E. Pierson Chosen as President, E. B. Parker Chairman of Board. Lewis E. Pierson of New York City was elected president of the Cham- ber of Commerce of the United States, and Judge Edwin B. Parker of Wash- ington and Houston, Tex chosen chairman of the board nl' directors by the board yesterday afternoon after the closing session of the fifteenth an- nual m M., aerson, hoard or the who I8 chairman of the American Exchange, Irving Trust Co. of New York, su ceeds John J. O'Leary as head of the chamber. He is a former president of the Merchants' Association of New York and of the New York Bankers' Association and the American Bank- ers’ Association. Judge Parker fills a post created by an amendment to the by-laws of the chamber adopted vesterday. He will serve continuously as director chamber's activities with suce presidents and will handle a great number of matters heretofore done by the presidents. Headed Liquidation Commission. Judge Parker served as a dollar-a- year man t ghout the war as a member of the War Industries Board and as priorities commissioner, and following the r went to Xurope as chairman of the United States Liqul- dation Commission, In 1923 he gave up his law practice in Texas to be- come umpire of the German-American Mixed Claims Commission, which is now concluding its work. The board named A. J. Brosseau of New York vice president for the Fastern division to succeed Mr. Pler- son. Robert R. Ellis of Memphis, Tenn., was re-elected vice president for the Southern division; Willlam M. Butterworth of Moline, Til, for_ the Northern Central division, and_Paul Shoup of San Francisco for the West- | ern division. / The chamber at its closing session adopted resolutions affecting flood control, farm relief, tax reduction, the merchant marine and other important problems. The flood control resolution called on the President to muster the best engineering and economic talent in the country to study the question and recommend steps to prevent a re- currence of the disaster now affecting | the Mississippi Valley. The fullest co-operation of the chamber was prom- ised to this end. Fight Over Farm Relief, A lively fight was precipitated with the presentation of the second resolu- tion, which postponed definite state- ment of the chamber's stand on the farm relief question until a report is received from the business men’s com- sion on agriculture, which has been studying the problem under the auspices of the chamber and which is to report its findings within 60 days. C. W. Ewing of Decatur, Iil, in an Impassioned speech demanded that the chamber put itself on record in favor of protection to the farmer to a de- gree commensurate with the protec- tion now given to labor. He declared that the organization was in honor bound to recognize the farm relief problem and to take a decided stand on it. The supporters of Mr. Ewing's resolution became so persistent in their demands to be heard that President O'Leary temporarily suspended par- liamentary rules. Prgponenu Continue Efforts. After heated, and sometimes bitter, debate the resolution committee's resolution jas adopted, with only a few dissemting votes. The proponents of farm relief continued their efforts to force their resolution on the cham- ber, even after it had been defeated, up to the closing minutes of the session. Other resolutions called for reduc- tion of the corporate income tax, re- peal of the Federal estate tax and the remaining war excise taxes, and revision of the law, rulings and prac- tices with respect to the administra- tion of Federal taxes; opposed Govern- ment operation of the merchant ma- rine, indorsed proppsed reformation of W.

Installed Railroad Signals. Mr. Harland left the Stickney T trical Construction Co. to again enter the service of the Union Switch and Signal Co. as engineer -in charge of electrical signal construction and in- stallations. One of the important projects with which he was connected with this company was the installa- tion of the signal apparatus on the | Long Branch Rallroad, which cost ap- | proximately $1,000,000. On completion of this work he re-| signed to accept a position as signal and telegraph and telephone engineer on the New York, Ontario & Western Railway. He was in direct charge of this class of work, and was later promoted to electrical and signal engi- neer in charge over the entire line of the design and installation of the signal and telegraph and telephone svstem. He also was in charge of the power plants and the transmission of electrical power. Afterwards he was promoted to principal assistant ;’_nslneer to the chief engineer of the ine.

Boosters’ Outing Plans Advance. ! Additional plans for the Boosters' outing of the Merchants and Manufac- turers’ Association were laid et a meeting of the executives of the com- mittee held late vesterday in the of- fices of the association in The Star Building. Provisions are being made for the entertalnment of several hun. dred local merchants on the four- day cruise of the Potomac River and Chesapeake , to begin June 17. Claude W. Owen heads the arrange- Former Commissioner Seeks Writ to Require Court to Relieve Him. Former District Commissioner Fred- erick A. Fenning today filed a peti- tion with the District Court of Ap- peals for a writ of mandamus to re- quire the Supreme Court to relieve him of the guardianship of Joe Gra- bosky, a veteran, Fenning charges that the Supreme Court has refused to let him close out the estate of the veteran. Grabosky, Fenning claims, was taken from the District to Perry Point, Md, by the Veterans’ Bureau, October 13, 19 and the bureau told him a guardian would be appointed in Maryland. His resignation as commit- tee was accepted by the court, he says, but later the court set aside part of its order and directed him not 1o pay over the estate. April 25, the petition says, he flled another petition asking to be relieved, and three days later the court named Horace T. Jones, employe of the Vet- erans’ Bureau, guardian ad litem. Jones, Fenning says, recommended that closing of the estate be held in aheyance, and the court has not taken action on a later petition asking for instructions as to the closing of the estate. Fenning says he wants to close out the estate and has been prevented from doing so by the Supreme Court. He asks an order closing out the guardianship and authorizing him to pay over the estate.

In presenting his check yesterday, | Secretary Mellon was represented by those who saw him as making his contribution in the belief that a per- son who now makes Washington his home, regardless of whether he is a Washingtonian in the sense of living here permanently, should contribute to the memorial. Located in the Cap- ital of the Nation, the memorial at- tains importance nationally as well as locally, the Secretary was represented as saying. Thousands of visitors from other parts of the country who see it will learn more of the Capital's part in the war and, incidentally, will | be inspired similarly to memorialize | their own local war dead. Additional Legion posts, meeting Iast night, indorsed the war memorial and sent in their contributions. The Augustus P. Gardner Post, meeting at thy University Club, contributed $50 to the war memorial and urged all legionnaires to participate in the cam- paign. Watson 3. Miller, chairman ‘of the committee appointed to represent the Legion in the campaign, reported that Engraving Post. No. 21, of the Legion has raised $300. Mr. Miller has also been informed that a number of other posts are making their cam- paign among residents of the Capital and will report a large contribution by the end of the campaign. The Washington Lodge of Elks has again indorsed the campaign and has sent to headquarters a contribution of $100, with the statement that Washington Elks are ready to do more if neces- ‘Asks Name Be Withdrawn, Announcement was made today of a committee appointed by William Mitchell, commander of Costello Post of the American Iegion, which will take steps, it is stated, in opposition to the proposed memorial, advocating in its place a National Guard armory and meeting place for veterans' or- ganizations. Harvey L. Miller, an- nounced as chairman of the post com- mittee, said today that he had not been informed of his appointment as chairman, that he was leaving town today and would not be able to serve on the committee and would ask that his name be withdrawn, and that he did not know that the Costello Post, previous to its action Tuesday night in adopting a resolution favoring an- other form of memorial for Washing- ton, had indorsed the memorlal as now proposed. In this connection the fnllo\flng let- tér was received today from Charles Kohen, a past commander of Costello Post: “Inclosed find my check for the District War Memorfal fund. I re- gret very much that my post saw fit to discourage your wonderful efforts for our heroic dead. Also do I regret that I could not stay at the meeting Jast Tuesday night when the memorial discussion was brought up. While I am not speaking for the Costello Tost, nevertheless I want you to know that I deeply appreciate your wonderful ef- forts in this meritorious undertaking. Like my friend and comrade, Paul J. McGahan, 1, too, will be among the missing on the walls of the Doric me- morial, as I enlisted at the outbreak of the war in New York. Neverthe- less, I would feel gulity of a great wrong should I fail to express my per- sonal feeling of this most wonderful undertaking.” Calls Act Unauthorized.

T 'do not believe there was a place in our entire country where patriotism and the spirit of sac ifice was more rampant than the District of Columbia, Washington made a lasting_contribution to the Ist Division.

You stepped from the Sunset Division to take the place of those of other di- visions who fell on the field of honor.

District Ba Association, Monday Evening Club City Club, Chamber of Commerce and many others, Mr. Noves pointed out that the Chamber of Commerce of the | United States also has placed its stamp | of approval on Washington's right to | representation. Mr. Noyes then discussed the legis- lation introduced in Congress to pave the way for an amendment to the Constitution providing representation in Céngress for this city. This legis lation, he pointed out, was favorably reported by the Senate District com- mittee during the past session, and is to be re-introduced during the com- ing Congress. While providing for representatives in both Houses of | Congres#, he said. this legislation would in no wise disturb the present commission form of government for the District. More Money to Be Needed. Describing the educational progr: which has been launched throughout the country by the citizens’ joint committee, by means of radio ad- dress, letters to outstanding indiv- iduals and other publicity in support of this legislation, Mr. Noyes pointed out that the time is appri hing fast when additional funds must be raised for this work. Mr. Graham at this point voiced indorsement of the suggestion, and others joined in proposing possible ways of conducting such a campaign. The advisabllity of giving all the op- portunity to contribute rather than to | limit the campaign to large individual | subscribers was brought out. The suggestion that Constitution week he selected as the proper time | for this phase of the movement was made by Milton B. Zeiler. 1t was met with favorable comment. Other -members of the chamber | committee who urged extension of | the campaign for representation were Mrs. Frank Hiram Snell, John B. Dickman and Charles H. LeFevre. Attending the meeting also were Louis I. Obergh, Capt. Ernest R. Holz and Horace I. Phelps. Dorsey W. Hyde, jr., secretary the chamber, presided in the abser due to illness, of both Ivan C.
