Is there miscellaneous business to come before this meeting? 
Dr. Henry F. Moore. There appears to be no other business to be pre- 
sented. I therefore move that we adjourn, Mr. President, until 2 o’clock this 
afternoon, when the meeting will be held at the New Willard Hotel. 
The PRESIDENT. Doubtless all understand that our regular place of meet- 
ing will be in the large banquet hall, on the top floor of the New Willard Hotel. 
Our headquarters will be there. At the anteroom you will find notice of the 
places at which you may receive your mail, in case it has been sent in care of 
the local committee. You will also find there some one who will act as inter- 
preter and general adviser, and some one who will have charge of the local 
bureau of information. The meetings will be held promptly at the times 
announced. At 2 o’clock this afternoon the meeting will be called to order. 
We will now adjourn to meet at that hour. 
Thereupon, at 12.05 p. m., the congress adjourned.
