TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MORE KNIGHTS
Parade Committee TO Meet with Fra
ternaI Society Representatives
to Make Arrangements for
Daylight Show

The hustling committee of the Knights
Of Ak-Sar-Ben resumed operations, after
having been on a vacation Of two months.
The committee now has in view the addl-
ton Of 250 names to the list Of member
ship and $4,000 to the parade fund. This
last amount is made necessary by the re-
ception planned for President Roosevelt
and must be raised to make that reception
a success, as the money previously raised
has been appropriated to the ordinary ex-
penses Of the parade.
There was a meeting last evening Of
the parade committee, with representa-
tives of the fraternal societies Of the city
for the purpose of taking W the question
of the participation of these societies In
the daylight parade, to be held Wednesday,
October /. The committee 1nd that GER
tain tentative plans fol that parade will
have to be abandoned, as all Of the mill
tary organizations of the United States
and Of the state will be at Fort Riley at
that time taking part in the army ma
neuvers. A plan is now being arranged
which will present one of the finest civil
and industrial parades ever seen in the
west: There will be several humorous
features.
Three Extraordinary Days.
In connection with the work OF the hust-
ling committee on the parade fund the
Board of Governors calls attention to the
fact hat the festival society is to give not
only two. but three extraordinary days this
season, and that while an unprecedented
crowd Is expected to be here to see the
president it will not detract from the size
of the crowd which viii be here the fol-
lowing Thursday, as those who come on the
first day will so advertise the electrical dis
play that more will come to the second
presentation.
Monday night is governors night at the
den and Governor Savage, with his personal
staff, and the other state officers are ex-
pected to be present. An especial program
will be arranged for the governor and his
staff. and 1t is hoped that a large part of
the 200 new members will pass the gates
that night.
There are but three more nights for work
at the den, and in that time the prepara-
tions for manning the floats must be com

BARITONE is WELL RECEIVED
Arthur M. Burton the Feature of Last
Evenings Program at Musical
Festival.

The appearance Of Arthur NJ. Burton as
soloist suficed to attract one Of the lar
gest crowds of the engagement so far to
the musical festival last night. Fully
$500 people were there to be charmed by
Mr.. BGrton's baritone, which, though ex-
tremely virile, is mellow and sweet. Its
timbre'h has that quality of sympathy which
peculiarly fitted the ballad nature Of the
numbers chosen, and the soloist scored an
unquestioned triumph. His second num-
Der, "I1l Sing Thee Songs Of Araby," was
most successfully sung. The three songs
on the program were not sufficient to sat
isfy the audience, and as an encore Mr..
Burton gave WHO is Sylvia with. ex-
treme grace.
Among the instrumental numbers the
grand selection from Carmen" We'd with
the "Reminiscences Of Scotland" for pop
ular favor. The latter comprised a med
ley of the beautiful old Scotch airs, such
10 annie Laurie" and Aud Lang syne.'
The sole Wagner number on the program,
however, was the artistic accomplishment
of the evening. This was "~Siegfried's Flu
neral March," and its presentation was the
most beautiful piece of Interpretation
shown In any Of the many Wagnerian et.
forts made thus far, shy this band. The
Italian handling of thee dolce passages wal
especially charming. Today's program:

According to Chairman Goss the sub
committee which was appointed by the
county committee last Saturday to per-
form the functions Of the entire commit
tee has decided to recognize the meeting
Of the whole committee, to be held satur-
day and to be guided, at least in a meas
ure. by the action which may be taken
at that time. Mr.. Goss said yesterday:
II may have been derelict in my duty in
not having the call for the county conven-
ton and the primaries published before
this, but have about made up my mind
to- withhold its publication until after
the meeting OF the committee Saturday. II
the call is issued before that committee
some amendments and It would be better
to make but one call. We can see no use
OF doing the SAM work twice and can,
therefore, see nothing to be gained by the
meeting OF the committee, but we have
decided to be on hand next Saturday"

Quartermaster Service.

Washington. Nov. THE annual report
of General NJ. I. Ludington. quartermas-
ter. is a review of the work done by his
department during the year. The most
interesting feature is what he has to say
regarding the transports, in view of the
desire in some quarters to dispose of them
He says that the ships are fitted up in
the best possible shape for the transpor-
tation of troops and that Representatives
of foreign nations have asked for plans
of the fittings with view of improving
their transports. The report continues
Nearly every ship sailing from Manila
had on board about 100 sick who were pro-
vded with every attention and comfort
in the transport hospitals that would be
found in well-regulated hospital ashore
"Of the many thousands of persons who
have been transported on the vessels of
the army transport service since it's in
by reason of any fault in the fittings or
accommodations upon the army trans

the experience of the department in its
futile efforts to secure suitable commercial

Their fact that when withdrawn from ac-
tive service transports cannot be advan-

as part of the equipment of the army to
be economically cared for and kept in
such condition as to be promptly avail
able for any emergency which may arise
