Proposed Change in Rules.

The Corps Of the District of Columbia,
Spanish War Veterans, held meeting last
night at Headquarters, 612 E street north
west, Corps Commander Fred S. Hodgson
presiding. The principal matter consid-
cred by the officers and delegates from the
seven commands comprising the corps, was
certain additions to and changes In the
rules and regulations Of the organization.
A proposed rule is under considerat ton
and with no doubt be adopted atSthe next
corps meeting. Saturday night, which will
In the future prevent such controversies as
that which occurred on the occasion of the
naval parade Of the G. "a. r., and which
resulted in the court-martial trial OF Capt.
s: b. Wallace of Charles Young Command.
The adoption of such rule is favored by
nearly adj the officers Of the corps. It will
decide whether on the occasion of pa
rade or similar turnout the commands
shall take position in order of seniority OF
shall take such positions as they may be
assigned to by the officer In command
