housed them IN prominent hotels. In
certain Of these instances the desk
clerk makes a definite rate for stated
period, and when the guests are ready
to check out they find that the bill
is higher by a dollar or more a day
than was originally agreed upon. Sol
diers making purchases in. certain
downtown stores have been accom-
panied by others in civilian attire and
have discovered that in some places
a tribute Of to 10 cents is levied on
the purchase made by the man In un-
iform. Snubs and sneers on the
streets are common to guardsmen
from civilians, and a few instances
have come to light where regulars
from the Columbus barracks have
made sighting remarks or cast sneer-
ing glances at men in the guard uni
form. It is an accepted fact that GER
tain prominent Columbus hotels do
not direct uniformed guardsmen into
their public dining rooms, but rather
into side rooms where their presence
cannot be so readily discerned.
Guardsmen Disappointed.
Ohio guardsmen expressed disap-
pointment when it became known that
they are to receive pay for only IL
days service, before leaving for Texas.
Col. w. H. Duffy, assistant quarter
master general, wired to Washington
for funds to meet the payroll of $685.
900 for the II days in June. 1t is ex-
pected the money will be given to the
guardsmen at an early date. Clerks
are now making out the payroll which
includes every man in the service
Keen disappointment was felt be-
cause the men had hoped for their
July pay as well. There is no indica-
ton when that is coming The army
rate of pay for officers is on the fol-
lowing scale:
Colonels, Sill day; lieutenant
colonels, 1912; majors, 1888; cap
tains, $667; first lieutenants, $555;
second lieutenants, $472. For the IL
days in June, men in the service when
the call came will receive the follow
| ing allowance: First sergeants, $18;
second sergeants, $12; corporals,
$40; privates, Sc. Privates get so
cents a day. Gov. Willis reviewed
the I'd brigade with Brig. Gen. John
C. Speaks and staff. The brigade
passed in review in drill field in the
south end of the camp, near the en-
gineers quarters, and made a striking
appearance in new uniforms and fully
equipped for service.
