WOODME OBJECT
TO The CARNIVAL
Protest Against Booking of
Street Attractions fo, Head
Camp Week at Toledo.

Modern Woodmen of America. a the
head camp in Toledo June 16, do not
propose to be a competitor for the
city's streets with a carnival company
said to be billed there the same week
F. o. Van Calder, editor of The
Woodman, today wrote to Edward
Frank, a prominent member of To-
Iedo Woodmen in charge of the local
arrangements. asking him to use his
influence to keep the carnival com
pany out during the week of the head
camp Mr.. Van Calder told Mr.. Frank
he considered the city's action in al
lowing the showmen the streets vio-
Iation OF a promise II made TO be the
exclusive host TO the Woodmen.
BY present plans the carnival troupe
would block the principal streets of
the city, interfering with head camp
ARRANGEMENTS. The Woodmen intend
TO execute several drills and offer par
ade features in which the streets Of
the city are necessary. In substance.
Mr.. Van Calder closed his letter to
Mr.. Frank thus:
I'm consideration of the usual char
acter of carnival shows, / cannot see
how they can be preferable to a meet
ing OF a head camp of Modern Wood
men. I intend TO take the matter up
with the executive council, which in
turn I think will use effective meas
