which have been Indulged in wiineiisy

was not made to th plan at Its Incep

Mr. Cordray requested th permit, but !
at a meeting of Fir Chief Campbell.'
i Ire Marshal Roberts and Building In
spector Spencer yesterday It waa rec
ommended to the fir commissioners that
tho permit be denied. . It waa argued
that the granting et the permit would
be-a direct . violation of th city ordl

' Kast side residents are loud in their
protestations against the recommenda
tion. They denounce it as unfair, for
the reason, "they say. that th rink is
outside the fir 11m Us, and that by pro
viding any number of exit It would
be far safer than many of the west side
theatres. There are building on . the
west side, they say, which are mere
shucks, fir, trapa In every sense, that
sre used wlta no objection from th
fire chief or other authorities.
' "I have no complaint to mak against
th decision of th fire chief, fire mar
shal or building inspector," . said Mr.
Cordrsy. "but It looks far fetched that
a permit should be denied us to use the
skating rink when the west, sld the
aters sr permitted to run unmolnsted.
The rink Is mad of wooden materials,
but It le outside th fir limits,-end
we would place In as many exit as the
chief or any other authority would rec
ommend. - . -
- Ther Is no question but - that It
would then b much safer, than many of
the buildings on th wast sld that are
oned for theatrical purposes."
Mr. Cordray petition for a permit
was made at a meeting of th executive
committee last week. . It was referred
to th fire commissioners who submit
ted It to Chief Campbell. Fire Marshal
Roberts and Inspector Spencer. They
recommended that the permit, be denied.
However, numerous cltisens on th eaat

While they are doing this they wlU at

country and their country's history by
taking the proposed trip.
I do 'not believe that th plan pro

Dear Governor: II was pleased to re
ceive your letter! of th lth and will
lay th matter before th organising
commute and take- th earliest oppor
tunity to make the young ladles who
have Men enrolled acquainted with your
views. Th National Guard feature will
certainly catch- the- fancy of the mili
tary companies throughout the east
wherever th excursion rosy go, and
many receptions may be tendered them.
The Idea of suggesting National Guard
uniform In th costume I a good on
and raises th character-of the enter
prise to a much higher plane, and they
will no doubt - get ' recognition from
higher sources than In the costume pro
posed at nrsL
I sincerely thank you for these kindly
suggestions and will do what I csn to
carry them out. Th drill of the Manila
Guards of Milt was a modification of
the sabrr drill of the volunteers of th
civil war, arranged for th girls with
light swords, ir was a . very pretty
drill and will, no doubt, please the
young ladles who have been enrolled.
