Rien George Harries, who has led the National Guard of the District of Columbia since November 30, 1887, asked yesterday to retire.

Harries previously worked with Washington Railway and Electric, later becoming vice president and general manager, and in 1911 joined THM Byllesby & Co., engineers of Chicago.
