The convention accommodation COM
mittee and the presidents of the various
state associations held a cOnfab together
last night at the West hotel, and there
is no doubt but a great deal Of good for
the convention will result from it. The
meeting was called for the purpose or
formulating a plan whereby the com
mittee and the various organizations
can cooperate for the benefit of every
body concerned. W. E. Steele, chair
man of the committee, was given the
same honor at the meeting, and eX-
planned the object of the meeting as
above. \ request was made for the
locations of the headquarters of the
associations and it resulted in the fol-
lowing: Michigan is in the Boston
block: Maine on the eighth floor OF the
Guaranty Loan building; Ohio, IS Fifth
street south: Illinois in the Skies block;
Wisconsin, 514 Guaranty Loan; Indiana,
Globe building; Scandinavian aSSocla-
ton, Az and 400 Lumber Exchange;
Vermont, 1CO3 and 1905 Guaranty Loan,
and the AfrO-American society over the
Hennepin County Savings tank. The
majority of these associations have
adopted cOlOrs, and those that have not
will do so. Ohio will have blue; Indiana,
brown; Michigan, corn; Pennsyl-
vania, bright yellow; Vermont
a sprlg of cedar, and the
AfrO-AmericanS sky blue. The color
to he worn by MinneapOlltanS VIII be
red, and whenever badge Of that kind
is seen it will signify to the trusting
stranger that the wearer is a man of
i roll a ll-inn RnRVnln-
p9dia. The executive committee has
decided to wear white, to symbolic its
purity of intention and loyalty to the
city.
From the remarks made by Mr..
Steele, it was evident that the work of
the associations individually in secur-
ing rooms and other accommodate
tions. without consulting and list
ing their acquisitions with the ac-
cOmmOdatiOn committee, was 60
ing TO turn things tOpSy tuTvy.
1t was going TO confusion, and cOnfuS-
ion under certain circumstances, like
familiarity, breeds contempt. The gem
tlemen who represented the aSSocla-
tonS averred that it was not their desire
to create confusion, but rather to pro-
duce harmony. They recognized that
1t would be better to work with and
through the committee than to hustle
by themselves. lnasmuch as both sides
were of the same opinion, ere the con-
ference closed everything was amicably
settled. Therefore. hereafter all rooms
and accommodations secured by the as
SOciatiOnS for their friends or visitors
from their respective states will be
listed with the accommodation commit
tee. They will then be checked off and
everybody will know what everybody is
doing and has done in that connection.
A number of amusing incidents of du-
plicatiOn in the matter of rooms was
cited by Secretary COnant and George
Bracket, all of which tended to show
that system is the thing.
When this matter had been disposed
of, the question of caring for the people
who do not secure locations and who,
perhaps, will only care TO remain in the
city during the day, was discussed,
and vigorously, too. 1t was agreed
CD all hands that there will be
the dickens to pay when it comes
to feeding the visitors StomachS.
Their psychological organs will be
amply. attended to, but their StOmachs -
aye, there's the rub. The gentlemen
present were cOnjured to exert them
selves to their utmost in the establish
downtown churches, among them the
Westminster, Church of the Redeemer
and st. Marks, had turned renegades.
Their sudden bursts of enthusiasm had
turned out nothing but bursts, and, in
stead of starting the eating houses they
had first agreed to, they had decided
that the lady members would be 'toO
busy" entertaining their own guests to
ook after dIshing up stomachic delica-
lies for convention visitors.
The meeting came to the conclusion
hat more eating houses were needed,
and all available store rooms that are
empty must be secured for that pur-
pose. The people who take their noon
meals down town will be asked to string
their patriotism, and during convention
week take their dinners, lunches, OF
whatever they call them, at home. BY
doing this, a great deal of room at res
trurant tables and lunch counters will
be created for the visitors, who are to
have the keys of the city while they re-
main here. Thomas Lowry will also
