coming the Boys.
The Thirteenth Regiment Auxiliary as
ISOLATION last night after making prepar-
atoms to meet the regiment tomorrow,
adjourned sine die.
Thomas Cochran, chairman OF the eN-
ecutive committee, explained that ar
engagements had been made with the
local committee on entertainment to re-
serve the gallery On the Eighth street
side, just back of the platform, for the
relatives of the boys of the Thirteenth,
admission to be by ticket.
Mr. Cochran also urged that the MEM
bers of the auxiliary use their best in
fuence to have the business men decor
ate the line of march.
Mr.. Cochran also explained that it was
at first thought advisable to give the rela
tives of the boys an opportunity to greet
the returning soldiers at the depot. At a
conference held with MIR. Hanlin and
several other members of the committee
the matter was quite thoroughly discus
sed. 1t was proposed to allow only the
relatives of the men within the lines, and
these to be indicated By some kind of a
badge Chief Goss gave it as his opir-
ion that the plan was not practicable, as
a woman who had no badge would de-
mand admission with the statement that
she had not time to set badge, and
nothing could hold her back if she saw
other women inside the lines. Upon
the suggestion of the chief OF police it
was decided to allow no one within the
lines Mr.. Cochran elucidated the plan
which was adopted, namely, that of Civ
ing the relatives the privilege Of meet
ing the men after the breakfast in front
of the Auditorium. The space on the
Eighth street side is to be kept clear of
every one except relatives of the boys.
MI. Cochran stated that the existing ar
rangement was to allow no one whatever
in either the Northern Pacific or Great
Northern railroad yards when the troops
were unloading. He thought the regiment
would remain in the railroad yards for
some time before the parade would form
The battalion coming over the Great
Northern would march over to the Nor
them Pacific yards, and join the rest OF
the command there.
Henry Hasenwinkle warned every one
not to be late. He stated that he had
visited the Auditorium, and one of the
ladies in charge said that breakfast would
be ready for the boys at I 8. m prompt
