something which. In the past he has known
little about We do not Of course refer to
the skeleton said to be concealed In the closet
of many worthy people. but to the actual per-
sonal skeleton which accompanies a man In his
daily walk The courts not to mention the SEN
sational newspapers. have long attended to the
closet skeletons. but the revelations concerning
the other skeleton must all devolve upon the
new photography. If nature has given man

any way can have it taken out, sent to the

GUARD MAY MAKE TROUBLE
Convention Hall Case Assumes An
other Phase.
Reported That the Soldiers May
Refuse to Drill Over the
Ice Floor.

The District Commissioners had call
yesterday afternoon from Col. Cecil Clay
of the District National Guard, with
whom q conference was hald concerning
the lease of Convention Hall for the use
of the military as drill haI.
Col Clay took the ground that the lease
should not be vacated, Notwithstanding
the alleged existing conditions,
The conference was private, and neither
the District officials nor the representa-
tive of the Guard gave out any of the
particulars. 1t is understood, however,
that Col. Clay takes no stock in the COM
plants made of the hall management for
keeping the battalions out of the place in
excess of the time allowed under the
lease. He is alleged to have announced
that the command had been ordered TO
drill in the hall, and that any who dis
obeycd would have to take whatever con-
sequences might ensue.
He does not believe the statements
heretofore published that men have been
made i'll by drilling on the false floor over
the ice. Yet, on the other hand, 1t is
said that at least thirty names have been
furnished the District authorities of per-
sons who claim to have contracted illness
from that cause.
The situation is such that rupture is
probable in ease of an order to resume
drill under the conditions that prevailed
last winter. 1t is said that many of the
men will refuse to accept the accommo-
dations, and the consequence may be that
there will be depletion Of the National
Guard.
The Commissioners are not authorized
to annul the present lease. They simply
approved it, and that is the extent Of
their power. The contract was made be-
tween the quartermaster general of the
Guard and the Market Company.
Should the lease be abandoned by nu-
tual agreement, as was some time ago
talked of, the Commissioners will have
the authority to make a new one. There
was clause in the last appropriation bill
which extended their powers to that eX-
tent, and 1t will be exercised, without
doubt, should the opportunity he given.
1t is said that so long as the prominent
National Guard officials hold the views
which Col. Clay is believed to hold an
amicable adjustment, except upon the
lines he indicates, will not be possible.
Many of the subordinate officers and pri-
Yates have kicked vigorously against the
deprivation alleged, as well as against
the character of the accommodations when
permitted to drill, but the lease as it
exists is held over their heads and they
seem to be powerless.
Meanwhile the Commissioners will with
hold payment OF the vouchers until a settle
ment of the veXed question is reached.
