ITS ANNUAL MEETING Business Men's Association Elects Officers BY UNANIMOUS VOTE MR. FRANK K. RAYMOND ITS NEW PRESIDENT. Retiring President Gude's Review of the Past Year?Eleven Di rectors Chosen. The annual meeting for the election of officers of the Business Men's Association was held last night at the Barton Hotel. The meeting was called to order by the re tiring president. Mr. William K. Gude, who read his annual report. Mr. Gude said: "If there is one thing more than another I would seek to emphasize at the outset It is the necessity for concerted action and unity and harmony of purpose in our citi zens' associations. The Business Men's Association has ever felt the urgency for the formation of a central committee, to be made up of the presidents and scereta Frank K. Raymond, P.rsWent. ries of tiie various civic organizations in the District, with a view to presenting a united front when occasion calls for some great public movement or improvement. It has always been of the impression that the best of results can only be accom plished by working together, and it depre cates most seriously the subordinating of the general public good to the selfish aims of any one particular section or locality in the community. "Its endeavors upon this line have re ceived the unqualified support of the Brightwood and the Northwest Citizens' Associations. The presidents and the of ficers of these prominent organizations have been indefatigable in their efforts to bring about this greatly desired condition of harmony. "Much has been said, much has been written about the new union station, which, fortunately, is to become a reality during our life as an association. Let us hope that the new terminal will be com pleted in time to handle the inauguration crowd. It will be well for such of our cit izens' organizations as have protested against its erection to at least solace themselves with the reflection that the new station will realize all the essentials of beauty *n its construction. Suggestion Approved. "The President of the Board of Trade, in his recent annual report, dwells at length upon the necessity, or rather the pressing need, for a convention hall in the District. His recommendation should receive the very heartiest support of all our citizens. Such a structure is one of our crying needs. No hope for Washington as a musical cen ter. no hope for it to meet all of the re quirements of an up-to-date convention city until there is erected here a hall large enough to accommodate at least 10.000 peo ple. and in a quarter of the city easily ac cessible. "The Business Men's Association is on record as favoring the appointment of a permanent art commission to regulate the placing, to adjudge the architectural merit of buildings and artistic beauty of statuary W. F. Gude, Ketirlng President. and to insist upon the development of the city along harmonious lines. Better no municipal building, better no new union station, better no convention hall than a hideous abortion of the architect's mind and the builder's fancy. Such a develop ment as now pursued in the plans for our public buildings and statuary and their blind and ignorant acceptance will put Washington back untold years and make the capital of the nation ridiculous in the eyes of the world. "If the citizens' associations are to con tinue their usefulness, if they are to stand for anything at all representative of the civic pride, it is high time that they recog nize the necessity of and. as a unity, de mand the immediate appointment of a per manent art commission. "As an evidence of the strict aim of the Business Men's Association to subserve the Interests of the business man I have only to make reference to the work of the special committee formed for the purpose of inquiring Into the insurance rates pre vailing in the District, by way of contrast with those obtaining in at lenst fifteen of the other large cities of our Union. Wash ington should be, it is fair to assume, about the safest of all the insurance risks in the United States. And yet our special com mittee has ascertained by statistical and other means the fact, as yet uncontro verteo. that our rates of insurance are higher and In some instances double those fixed in twelve cities of the United States. Fire Losses. "The statistical report recently issued by the national board of fire underwrit ers contains some interesting figures on the fire losses In the large cities of the United States. The figures are furnished by the officials of the fire department, and are usually less than those shown by the insurance Interests. The fire loss la / dollars per capita in the larger cities fol "Birmingham. Ala., $8.53: Hi^tford, Conn.. $3.82; Atlanta, Ga., $???<?*: Peoria. 111.. $1.51: Pes Moines.

"The Business Men's Association's special committee has met with a similar commit tee from the board of fire underwriters, an?l it awaits the results of the deliberations of the latter and its answer to such a pre sentation of facts as is given above. Satis fled of the high charac ter and unquestioned integrity of the board of flro underwriters, it has every belief that conclusion agree able to all will shortly be reached, but it is equally confident of its ability to success fully carry out and fight to a positive con clusion any encroachments upon the rights of the' business community as may be in dicated in unjust rates of insurance." The reports of the secretary and treasurer were read by the secretary. Mr. Barry Bulkley. Thes^ reports showed the asso ciation to be in excellent condition finan cially and as to membership. The Election Unanimous. The election of officers was then taken up. Mr. Gude absolutely declined renorn ination to the presidency, and Mr. W. S. Knox then proposed Mr. Frank K. Ray mond. This proposition was greeted wi ll applause. The nomination was seconded by Messrs. C. C. Lancaster, Conrad H. Syme and Barry Bulkley. and the election o? Mr. Raymond was made unanimous. Mr. W il ton J. Lambert nominated Mr. James F. Oyster for vice president, and his election was made unanimous. Mr. Ross P. An drews was nominated for second vice pres ident by Mr. Syme and seconded by Mr. Horn. As in the case of the other two of ficers, Mr. Andrews was unanimously elected. The election of eleven directors to take the places of those whose terms expired last night was then taken up, and the new president was formally installed in the chair to preside over this election. During the time necessary for the counting of the ballots some little discussion arose over a resolution introduced by Mr. C. C. Lancas ter providing for the clearing away of the brush from the woods in the suburbs. The resolution was finally disposed of by re ferring it to the executive committee. A resolution was adopted indorsing the Com missioners in their efforts to make some permanent arrangements for caring for tiie District's indebtedness. By this time the tellers had counted the vote for the directors, and announced tho result as follows: W. F. Gude. W. S. Bronson, Chapin Brown, E. H. Droop. B. S. Graves, V. Bald win Johnson. H. L. K. Johnson. W. J. Lam bert, J. C. Mnlcolm, Allison Nailor. jr., Thomas F. Walsh. Mr. Conrad H. Syme. whose name was on the ballot for re-election as a director, requested the members of the association to scratch his name. He said that he oc cupied the position of general counsel to the association, and as such was always on hand at the meetings of the board of directors. He did not believe, he said, that he should hold two offices in the associa tion. and earnestly requested the members to refrain from voting for him. In response to this request the president ordered that Mr. Syme's name be erased from the list of candidates. At the conclusion of the elec tion a buffet lunch was served. LARGE ATTENDANCE. Twentieth Annual Sociable Under Auspices of Catholic Knights. Convention Hall was the scene last evening of the twentieth annual sociable j held under the auspices of the Catholic I Knights of America. Between 4,000 and 5,000 persons took part in the festivities of the occasion, and the immense audi torium, beautifully decorated with bunt~ ing, palms and cut flowers, through which glimmered myriads of electric lights, while overhead long strings of the elec tric bulbs flashed forth, presented an ani mated scene. The function is a time-hon ored one, originally beginning with the old-fashioned pound party, held for the purpose of permitting the friends of the St. Joseph Orphan Asylum to contribute their mites to the support of the institu tion. Although no donations were re ceived at the hall last evening, still an "immense number of articles was ordered delivered to the home. An excellent program was rendered during the evening, including the singing of live selections by the orphan boys, under the direction of the sister in charge, whose well-executed work was heartily applauded by the immense throng. The choir, seventy-five strong, of the Carroll Institute, under the direction of Mrs. Clara Baker - Smith, rendered the "Hallelujah" from Handel's "Messiah" with excellent effect. An old-time minstrel show was given by the boys of St. Paul's parish, and their efforts proved a treat to the little fellows present. The concluding number of the \audeville program was an interesting exhibition of acrobatic work by Prof. Maurice Joyce of Carroll Institute. The principal part of the evening was taken up in dancing. Supper was served under the supervision of Mrs. August Coppes, while lemonade and sandwich booths also did a flourishing business. The members of the committees in charge of the occasion were: Executive committee?James W. Considine, presi dent; J. Edw. Roach, vice president; John A. Madigan, secretary; N. 1^.

Dr. McGee Will Resign From Auxiliary to Join Soldiers' Organization. Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee of this city, the only woman who ever held a commis sion as an officer in the United States army, proposes to resign as sponsor of Gen. Nelson A. Miles Command. Spanish War Veterans, for a novel reason. In a letter Just received by Capt. L. C. Dyer, com manding the organization named. Dr. Mc Gee states she has learned from Captain Hilton of New Jersey, chairman of the na tional committee on laws of the Spanish War Veterans, that the new constitution of that body provides for admitting to membership, after January 1 next, contract surgeons who served during the war with Spain. Dr. McGee was during that period a regularly commissioned acting assistant surgeon, U. S. A., in charge of the corps of army nurses, with the rank of first lieu tenant. "If army contract surgeons are to be ad mitted," she writes, "I will resign as spon sor of Miles Command in order to become an active member, and will make formal application." Lieutenant Surgeon McGee will be the only woman eligible to active membership in the Spanish War Veterans' organization when the new constitution goes into effect at the commencement of the new year. In 18S*J she was elected an active member of Miles Command, but the national judge ad vocate general ruled that her admittance was illegal. She Is now national president of the Spanish-American War Nurses' As sociation, with headquarters at 11*01 Balti more street, this city. There will be no change necessary in the membership clause of the Spanish War Vet erans to admit of her becoming a member. It states that all soldiers, sailors and ma rines who served honorably during the war witli Spain are eligible. There Is no men-? tion of sex in the clause.
