WITH THE BIG 100.
Saturdays committee feature was
the placing of tabu on liquor. This
originated with the executive body OF
the Big 100 and created mild SEN
satiOn. In the session at the Chamber
of Commerce hall, Senator McCand-
less offered the following resolution:
That no liquor Will be paid for this
committee, and that no liquors of any
kind will be allowed at the Drill Shed
or at any place where refreshments
are served under the control of this
committee" Adopted unanimously.
There was warm endorsement Of the
resolution by Senator Baldwin, chair
man of the executive committee and
J. b. AthertOn. chairman of the fin
ance committee. Senator Baldwin said
that Consul-General Haywood thought
the saloons ought to be closed if the
troops came ashore. Mr.. B. f. Dilling-
ham was of this opinion in the
matter. Mr.. Atherton has heard
that officers of the n. G.. II. proposed
serving liquor to the officers of the
Manila expedition and was against
such entertainment, believing it would
be dangerous and bad in every way.
Late Saturday afternoon, Marshal
Brown said that he proposed to go so
far as warming saloon keepers against
selling liquor to the extent that any
of the visitors might become intoxi-
Gated.
Several of the officers of the First
Regiment, n. G H, were quite indig-
nant over the association of the staff
and line with discussion of temperance
restrictions or measures. They said
they proposed to entertain any guests
they might have just as they pleased.
1t was further remarked that many of
the officers were responsible and moral
men of some judgment and that it
should not be intimated that they were
likely to countenance or get up drink
ing bouts. Elaborate arrangements
are being made at the club of the N
G. H. officers in the bungalow for the
greeting of visitors. a number of con-
tributions have been made to the Off
GERS for the purpose of catering to
their guests.
