BLUES. ARE BITTERLY
OPPOSING CHANGE
Command Does Not Want to Go
Is Manassas, Preferring
Basic.
B0WLEs WANTS MEN TO WORK
Disapprovcs Of Frolie- Cover
nor's Proposition Not Looked
On With Favor.

Strenuous opposition developed yes
,erday among the officers and men of
the Richmond Light Infantry Blues
when they learned that possibly they
would be sent 10 encamp at Mana sas
instead of AT Basic City. 1t Is very
evident that If the battalion goes TO
Manassas 1t will be because II has to,
and only after il has made the most
vigorous resistance to such an order.
The proposition to take the battalion
TO the FRINGE William town comes from
Governor Mann. July 81 Is to be made
an occasion of a celebration OF the
first battle of Manassas, and President
Taft with two companies of cavalry is
to be on the ground. Governor Mann
desires at least two companies OF
militia, and preferred to have the
Blues.
Previous Order To Basic.
However, the Blues have already
been ordered TO Basic City from July
II 10 % by official orders from Adju-
tant- General W. w Sale. The choice
OF Basic was made more than two
months ago, and every arrangement
short OF actual outlay at the ground
has been made.
General Sale last night had not as
yet seen Major Il, w. Bowles. the bat
talon commander, regarding the mat
ter. but said that the Governor wished
the attendance of the Blues at Ma
nassas, and had suggested that the
cncampment be held there so as to
cover the day of the celebration.
lNWhen Informed regarding this pro-
Feeding, Major Bowles said he had not
been officially notified that a change In
the camp location was projected. and,
N fact, had not heard OF II at all until
told by Z Times Dispatch reporter. II

Yesterday these newcomers rode Ill

collection Of seven dollars was first
taken up, after which the star knot
slipper allowed himself to be roped
up to a telephone post in front of the
Windsor Hotel. George Israel, whose
fame at catching wildcats is known
far and near, tackled the job Of rop-
ing the knot dodger, and did it so
well that after an hours hard work
the fellow was still dashed to the
mast, writing and squirming at Wild
cats knots while the perspiration
poured from his face and neck in riy-

caught at his own game as the result
of this child of lsrael's" gordian
