Claude Keiper, «secretary of the | Executive Committee of the Memorial | Association, has appointed D. D. Isbell &s chairman of the Transportation Com- | mittee and Augustus Gumpert as chair- man of the Housing Committee, to handle the throngs. Steady progress has been made on the memorial in preparation for the dedi- cation. Its exterior and ground will be virtually completed, but the interior| sl still lack several features to be in- | #alled and finished after dedication. bus caravans and pr cades are expected. Already special re- duced fares are being offered from o section of the country, similar cut rates are expected from others and numerous | one and two day excursions are being planned from all parts of the East. Expect Crowd of 100,000. Estimates of the crowd expected for the dedication vary, but run up to as high as 100,000. It was recalled that a throng of about 35000 turned out for the laying of the cornerstone in 1923, and some Masonic officials are counting | on several times that number for the dedcation. Mr. Isbell is well qualified as chair- | man of the Transportation Committee, since he is v.iLh the Interstate Commerce Commission 14wt JjSLvb A representative of one of the Southeastern roads recently told Mr. | Keiper the roads in that section would “ me offer a special rate of the one-way !l.r!‘ lus only one dollar for the round trip. g is understood th:t application will be made to passenger ions of the United States and Canada for a similar rate.

Alreldy h! is receiving applications from Masons at s distance for housing accommoda- | tions. Mr. Gumpert was manager of the old Ebbitt Hotel at Fourteenth and F streets for 20 years, and is an ex- perlenoed hotel m-n well qualified, ac- | cording to Mr. Keiper, for what will be a big job of housing the visiting Maso! ns. The celebrations in connection with the dedication will continue in reality over a week, as several Mssonic or- ganizations are planning to hold their meetings at the memorial The week of May 9 has been st aside by the Washington Bicentennial Commission as Masonic we Many Conferences Planned.
