gress on the West Point appropriation
for Transporting cadets here for inau-
guration. The money will come out of
the regular army transportation appro-
pTiation.
The House, inspired by motives of
Democratic economy, killed the West
Point appropriation. The Senate lead
ers were planning to insert it in the
general appropriation measure when 1t
came UP for consideration. The War
Department in the meantime got busy.
Looking over all available funds. the
department decided that the regular
army transportation appropriation could
be cut into to bring the West Pointers
here. The cadets themselves were es-
peciaily anxious to be In the parade,
so the department concluded that it
could not afford to await the delay of
Congressional action. with a possible de-
feat of the measure, and, consequently,
decided upon the other course.
Arrangements have been made with
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to
transport, the cadets here, in time for
the parade, and to take them back
about IL o'clock on the night of March
a.. Their special train wifi be parked
near the Baltimore and Ohio freight
I station. and probably meals will be
served on the train.
