Mooase the large crowds that attend the
Memofiai day and other exercises held in

OF all the organizations have for many
years encountered the inadequate facilities
IN the auditorium at Arlington and feel
that there should be better place for

ton they argue. is not only the nations
burial ground but the exercises there are
attended by people from all nations. The
plat1orm of the present auditorium seats
ony AoO persons when there should be
seating capacity for 500. The new me-
mortal building itself should have a ca
pacity of 5000 instead of 1000, as is the
case now.
The President Of the United States and
many high officials and foreigners every
year attend the memorial exercises at Ar
iington. The organizations of veterans
think that the arrangements ought to be
more In keeping with the dignity and i'm
portance of the exercises held there. They
intend to push the matter until they sue
ceed and appreciate the assistance they are
to receive from the War Department

Trades and Labor Council at Their
Meeting to Nominate Candidates
for City Offices Decide Upon
Waldeck for Chief.
No Definite Action Taken as to Other Candidates
and Meeting Was Adjourned to Monday
Night Discussions Were Warm Session
Was Quite Lively.

} Tie Trades and Labor Council met
Friday night in Reed hall. The main
business before the meeting was tie mat
ter of nominating candidates for city Of
fees.
The meeting was quite lively and
lengthy. Adjournment was not had un-
til Il o'clock, and then it was decided
to have another meeting Monday night.
The proceedings were behind closed
doors, no one being admitted except the
regular delegates. Even all members of
the unions, except those who were dele
gates TO the Council were not allowed to
be present.
On account of the secrecy observed but
little definite information can be obtain
ed. Itwas understood among those pres
cnt that the proceedings are not to be
given out until after Monday nights
meeting.
From what can be learned on the
street, it would seem that f. W. p
Waldcck was nominated for chief of po-
lice, although there is no definite infor-
nation as to that. Other names were
considered for other places, but no Sc
lcctions were made.
The session was very lively, it is said.
and there was much difference of opin-
ion. The discussions were warm.
The meeting Monday night viii be
held at o'clock in Reed hall.
Latest reports on the street are to the
effect that practically full ticket was
nominated. Information concerning the
matter is very difficult to obtain, but
a guess is all right, when it hits, and it
is pretty safe to say that among the
nominees are William Il. Cole for city
clerk, John K. Steele, city collector and
treasurer. a. L. Jackson, street superin
tendcnt jefferson Bradford for council
in the First ward, Temp Bryan. Third
ward, John Shinn Fourth ward, and
Charles p. Dallas, Fifth ward. \ nomi-
nation for councilman in the Second ward
was in all probability made, but We
could not find out.
No nomination for mayor was made
1t is whispered that William Thompson's
name was suggested, but the suggestion
met with a cool reception, and he was
turned down without ceremony. The
same was true as to P. H. Shields for
city clerk and also for mayor.
At various times during the meeting it
was the next thing to rough and tumble
and none knew one minute what might
happen the next, but fortunately the war
OF words did not result in any physical
clashes
