committee to the fact that the Orpheum
management had given free entertalnment
to the returned volunteers who We're In
camp, but that no provision had peeh
made for the members OF the PennsyIVa-
MIA regiment who arrived last evening, or
for any other Of the homecoming Yolun-
teers, and suggested that 1t would be too
great an imposition upon the theatrical
managements TO ask them to entertain
free Of charge the thousands who would
arrive here In the near future. He also
felt that 1t would be showing too much
partiality if the rest of the boys were not
entertained fully as well as those who had
come in early; and on his motion Mr..
Leahy was instructed to get a special rate
from the different theaters for the enter
tainment of the returning volunteers.
