male committee on the reception rendered
to Company X on its arrival from the front
had little trouble with the female com
mittee on banquet. The latter voted to
give the banquet in style at the dining
rooms of the st. Charles hotel In conse-
quence the male committee at the head Of
the affair discharged the banquet commit
tee and appointed new one which would
do as they said. The result was banquet
at the pavilion, for which there was large
sum of money raised, most of which was
expended. In striking balance The COM
mttee failed to give a report as to where
the money went. They published in detail
where the money came from, and it has
leaked out that sums of $50 were given out
and other expenses made that are only
known to the committee of three. When it
was suggested that as the public had fur
nished the money it was due the public to
know where it went, it was suggested by
them that another committee might be ar
ranged to make the report in general terms
that 'it is all right" but this will hardly
satisfy the public
