Would Put Citizens First.
Robert n. Harper. chairman Of the civic
organizations committee, 1t Is expected.
will suggest to the inaugural committee
at the meeting tomorrow that the citi-
zens' organizations taking part in the
parade be allowed to march first. Mr..
Harper believes that this should be done.
because in this way the civic organiza-
tons, composed of men unaccustomed to
marching and standing in line, would be
through with their part OF the duty
much earlier than II they followed the
military division. If the weather ID bad.
Mr. Harper points out, the civic organi-
cations would be in more danger than the
military, since the military are composed
Of men trained to stand such hardships.
Prohibition of Boosted Rates.
At a meeting of the committee on local
transportation, chairman, j. NJ. Stoddard.
plans were made to prevent exorbitant
charges for vehicles, particularly the
night of the inaugural ball
1t was decided to publish list OF rates
for taxicabs and all kinds OF carriages
which may be charged the night of the
inaugural ball i'm order that visitors may
not be overcharged.
NJ. |. Weller, chairman of the public
comfort committe, Is confident that the
largest crowd ever gathered i'm Wash
ington will witness the inaugural cere-
monies March T. He has called meet
ing for tonight of his executive COM
mittee i'm the United States Trust build
ing at 10th street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue..
Mr. Weller has appointed the follow
ing subcommittee to arrange accommoda-
tions for and entertain the colored Wis
itors who will attend the coming inaugu-
ration; a: III. Cnderdown. chairman; l.. e.
Moore. r. w. Thompson. George IA.
Murray, John III. Cook. William L. Of
ford. Temporary headquarters have
been established at 1742 14th street.
Quarters for the Militia.
The Secretary of the Interior has
given permission for the use Of all I'M
occupied buildings on the condemned
tract Of land on the Union station plaza
for militia. Only four or five OF these
buildings are available, however. Mr..
Weller today will ask the Secretary Of
the Treasury for the use OF all vacant
buildings on the condemned tract south
of Pennsylvania avenue for the same
purpose.
School buildings will not be allowed
for the use of visiting militia organiza-
tions during the inaugural ceremonies.
according to the view of members of
the House appropriations committee
who have looked up the law on the sub
ject The prohibition against the use
of school buildings for any but school
purposes is in the form OF a rider to
an appropriation bill passed in 1898,
after the G. A. r. encampment OF the
wear previous. At that time the ex-
neriment of turning over the schools for
the use of visiting hosts was found to
be disastrous for the schools. Mem
bers of the committee say law will
have to be passed before any such use
can be made of the buildings.
