violent scramble among the morbid Gu

prices. Many fashionable women were
present and outbid dealers in curios.
The action OF the buyers seemed to in

part Of the day was devoted to register
ing at the booths at teh commander-in-
chiefs headquarters
Yesterday afternoon the veterans dis
cussed unoilically the proposition for d
permanent camp site, to be established
in some city geographically near the
center Of the country Advocates Of the
plan say this would make it possible for
nearly every survivor Of the Civil WA
TO attend the eHcampments, because Of
the curtailment III railroad fare There
is considerable grumbling over what the
veterans term unjust discrimination with
reference TO railroad rates. An effort is
being made to have resolution adopted
asking federal regulation OF traffic rates
to all subsequent encampments.
"The railroads Of this country viii
grant rate Of one cent mile for our
net national encampment, or there will
be no eneampment," is the prediction Of
Edward Watson, commander Of Z. S.
Grant post, Chicago. This sentiment
seems to prevail among a majority OF
the veterans.
The survivors Of the revenue cutter
service, who have made repeated at
tempts to become members OF the G. A.
r., hope to gain their point during the
present encampment, according to ru-
mors yesterday. The opposition to ac.
cepting them into the @. A. r. was the
result Of the contention that they were
officially under the treasury department.
and not the naval authorities.
