THE 6. A. R. EaCAkpMEAT
Executive Committee II Session to
Decide on the City.
Depend. Largely ON h Arrange
mente Which Can Be Made
With the Ratiroads-.Iwin
.ftics I'm tho Lead.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb so.--In accord
ance with u call issued by Commando
in Chief Walker. OF the 6. A. r.. The
executive committee is in session today,
for the purpose OF taking definite ae-
ton as to the meeting place OF the Grand
Army next summer.
Nine days 4 q meeting OF the West
ern Passenger association WAS held In
Chicago, and the hope was entertained
that 1t would follow the example Of the
Chicago Great Western and grant the
thirty day limit desired; bur the only
direct result OF the conference vas
the declaration on the part OF the Wis
consin Central hat they would allow the
concession. The Western Passenger
association, thereupon decided to take
no official notice of the action of either
the Wisconsin Central or the Great
the light OF this decision. the executive
committee will probably take no action
looking teWard the choosing OF Buffalo
or any other western city for the meet;
a. 1t is generally believed that the West
ern Passenger association will IN time
come around TO a position favorable to
the vete.ans. Otherwise 1t will BIZ
placed in a dificult position, AS the
choice will lie between recognizing the
right of the two roads above named to
take action independent of the associ-
alton and in opposition to its interests.
and the loss OF some of the most impor-
tant roads in the organization.
The knights Of Psthias have encour-
tered the same difficulties az the G.. A.
r.. IN seeking a thirty day ticket limit,
and as they are to meet in Minneapolis
the same week as the latter organization
they are vitality interested In the out
come OF the disagreement. Ex-Govern-
or McGnl M Secretary Fred Wheaton,
of Minneapolis are conadnet that both
sncamph1ents Viii be held IN the Twin
Cities.
There is some talk of either X. of p.
or b q. A. r.. probably the former,
changing the date of its convention.
1t is possible also that at today's CON
ference the executive committee may
decide to accept the fifteen day limit
which the Western Passenger assooia-
ton Is willing to eoncede, and in this
way solve a very perplexing and intri-
cate problem i'll the best manner posi-.
BILE under existing conditions.
