While many new pictures will be used in por- the life on the Grand canal, A rousing and enthusiastic meeting of the Evanston Commercial associa- tion marked the closing of President Dutbie's administration Thursday night, when a large gathering of the representative members assembled to hear the annual reports from the many officials. It was a session which teemed with the good-fellow ship promoted in the important organ- ization and from the time the first re- port was read until the new officers were installed, the closest attention was given every detail. Many speeches having to do with th^? civic welfare pf Evanston were given. The farewell address of Presi- dent Duthie and the inauguration speech of the newly elected president, H. E. Chandler, were features and were characteristic of the progessive- ness of the organization, hi a few well-chosen remarks. President Chand- ler thanked the members for the honor bestowed upon him and pledged his earnest efforts to bring about as successful a term as the one just closed by President Duthie. An Unexpected Honor. "This is an honor I never expected to attain," said President Chandler. "I will use my best efforts to satisfy you in my choice and am going to set a high ideal for the year's work. That ideal is to give just as good an ad- ministration as has been given by Mr. Duthie. It will be a hard task, I know, but with your co-operation I hope to live up to it." Mr. Chandler continued by saying that the. association had grown to be a great power in the city and that ai wished the "booster" spirit ^p^omoted. He also urged the attendance of mem bers at all meetings and suggested that the social feature of such meet ing* should be furthered. Entire Ticket Elected. The entire ticket reported by the nominating committee was unanimous ly elected, following a good talk by Chairman Mills, head of that commit- tee He explained the work of the committee and then related the qual- ifications of each new official. The list of new officers includes: Presi- dent. H E Chandler; vice president <i. A Kearney, treasurer, ii. H. Tom linson; directors, J. R. Duthie. C. 1> Macpherson. J. H. Hoffman. W. J Hamilton, G S Moore. E. M. Kelly and A. H. Bowman. Iu the election of the direcjors. Mr A. H Bowman asked that his name be withdrawn and that of W. M. Col well be substituted because of the latter's efficient work in the associa- tion recently. Mr. Cohvell objected and the ticket remained as nominated. Continued applause followed each report, showing the appreciation of the members of the work of the officials The report of Treasurer G H. Tom- linson was the first read It showed that a balance of |462.27 remained in the checking account of the association on .Ian. 1. 1914. During the Jar of missioners. according to a report given by Mr. A. H. Bowman. He ex- plained that a representative had only- started work Monday securing prop- erty frontage consent In Evanston-for the changing of supervision and im- provement of the highway, and that inasmuch as the. work was progress- I ing in almpst every other city, the situation In Evanston is crucial. He I recommended that a special meeting be called for the new legislative com- mittee early next month, to discuss Hn^pTahT Ten New Member*. Among the other reports were those by the chairmen of the credit, enter- I tainment. membership, special and ways and means committee. In the membership committee, a gain of ten members was shown, despite the fact that nineteen active and twelve asso- ciate members had dropped out from the association. Chairman Hamilton of the entertainment committee gave an interesting report showing that the social side of the organization had not ! been neglected during the year. The report of Chairman W. M. Col- ; well of the special committee had to ' do altogether with the ornamental street lighting plan, just completed. He reviewed the difficult work of se- curing the needed improvement in an optimistic manner and was compli- mented for his splendid work in a speech following the report by C. D. Macpherson. A rising vote of thanks was given Mr. Colwell by the mem- bers. Charles II. Bartlett. chairman of the ways and means committee, read a brief report citing that the chief work of that committee had been in collect- ing and forwarding funds and provi- sions for the Ohio flood sufferers last i March. The half holiday closing was also included in this committee's work. Speaks About Theater. An appeal for the unanimous sup port of the Evanston theater by mem- bers of the E. C. A. was made by Mr. A. H. Bowman, when called upon by President Duthie to state the obser- vations he had made concerning the playhouse. Mr. Bowman told of the plans for advancement and improve- ment of the theater since Mr. George B. Winter had been chosen president of the company, and he urged that every member take an interest in the project to help make it a success. "It has been my experience," said Mr. Bowman, "that in the few times there has been talk of a change of policy or form of entertainment at the theater, following a depression of business, that a great protest has been made by members of many or- ganizations when they feared that moving pictures or vaudeville, which no doubt would be decidedly profit- able, would be substituted for the stock company productions. Members of these organizations have appeared before me and sought my assistance in checking the change. Yet these verv persons and many others who object to a different form of amuse- ment being, given heTe, are the ven ones who fail to support the Evans ton theater. It is time, gentlemen, that some support be given the Evans ton theater if we want to continue 111III11•IM1911911111iI I What People Are Doing inKenilwoilh Classified Business List GENERAL MERCHANDISE JEWELERS Mr. HeiuT~T^ytdr is" expected home soon from a trip to the gulf states.
