TO ACT AS GUIDES Two Pythian met last night. and camp ground, with Mr. Lawrence Gurd- ner chairman, and that on public comfort, over which Mr. Jobn H.. Mitchell, holds ‘sway. At the meeting of the first named committee the following members were present: Mr, Lawrence Gardner, Messrs. McNabb, Smithmeyer, Goodhart, An lergon, MelIntyre, Loetller, MeCarty, “Tracy and Cronie. After the minutes came the call of sub- committees, and the first of these to report was that on laying out the camp, which ’re- port was rendered by the chairman of the committee, Mr. Smithmeyer. “This shows the location of each of the 1411 tents which it is contemplated to erect, lo- cation of headquarters, telegraph ‘office, post office, press tent, committee tent, cam- missary mess tents, kitchen and other ad- junets of camp. The camp lies west of 14th street and north of the driveway which sweeps down from Lith street, touches very closely the northwest corner of the buréau of engraving and printing, continues south- westerly to the propagating grounds and turns to the north close to the fish ponds. The northern edge of the camp rests upon the driveway which circles Ike an S$ from Lith street to the fish ponds, circling to the south of the Washington monument. Head- quarters are to be located at the east end of the camp, resting on 14th street, The committee tent will be at the éxtreme south- east corner of the camp, and the post office and the telegraph office and press tent will rest upon the avenue which runs southeast and northwest, connecting the bureau of engraving and printing and the Washington monument. The camp is subdivided into twenty-five sections, with an avenue be- tween each section. The longest of these sections contains seventy tents, the ‘short- est, that at the west erd, twenty-two, the average number being sixty-tive. The sec- tions are designited alphabetically, Mr. Smithmeyer explained the diagram in detail, and indicating where service water pipes were to be laid and are lights are to be erected. Chairman Gardner expressed satis- faction with the manner in which Mr. Smithmeyer had executed the duties im- posed upon him, and moved the adoption of the pian. Mr. Goodhart seconded the mo- tion, and also took occasion to express grat- ification with the apparent perfection of the plan. subcommitgees committee on water service being un- These were the committee on camp > plan‘ able to proceed with its duties until the submission of a camp plan, rendered no re- poet, but its chairman, Mr. McArty, pledged a requisite amount of hustle. He will pro- ceed at once. The subcommittee on sanita- tion, of which Dr. Hammett Is chairman, Was not heard from, because of the ab- ce of this gentleman, and the committee- men exhibited a slight shade of vexation because of the non-attendance of Dr. Ham- mett. The subcommittee on meals had no rep to render betnuse of the absence from the city of {hairman Maj. Biscoe. Chairman Notley Nnderson of the subcom- mittee on lights asked for furthe> time. It was stated, by: MtsGoodhart, and non- eticially assented’ to by Mr. Smithmeyer, that ten are lightp] adfoitly plac give the camp sufficient light. Chairman Gardner stated that’ he‘made an application to ground lying to the solth of the camp for the location of megs tents, and that he had been very much encoutaged by the recep- tion of the application: Tents FI Some trouble was’ dnnounced with the tent contractors af Cotumbus, Ohio, but a representative of tMe'Ghio firm would come to Washington, at the &xpense of the com- mittee, and that d°sfeedy and satisfactory adjustment of the diffeulty would follow. Mr, Gooithart stated that he had received a personal letter from ‘Gen. Carnahan, urging that, if possible, the tents be floored, At all , encampments this had been done, and Mr. Goodbait thought the people of Washington } should net be behind their brethren in other cities In this matter. In all other cities the city councils had taken a special interest in these encampments, and Washington, hay- ing no city council, probably caused some of the trouble which the Pythians complain- eof. Mr. Goodhart stated that the Pythians naturally expected more from the capital city of their country than from any other city. Chairman Gardner said that the floor- ing of the tents was the proper thing to do, but there was no money in sight with which to do it. The conditions were different today from the conditions two or three years ago, and at might have been done then in the line of money could not be done now. Mr. Anderson said that it was plain that if there was no money for this purpose the Pythains, of waom he was one, must rest satisfied with the situation. Secretary Me- Nabb reported that the total number of ap- plications for quarters in the camp, up to date, was 2,746. ‘This was not so gratifying as it might be, but still there was no ques- tions that Pythians would come to time in vastly increased numbers. A communica- tion from ‘Texas was produced in which it was stated that because of the refusal of the railroads in that section of the world to make rate concessions and because of the great distance to be traveled, the lone star state would not be so largely ‘represented as it had been thought she would be. A communication from E. F. Sanderson, chaplain of the order, U. R. K. P., was read, in which he asked that a tent be pro- vided for him close to the headquarters of Gen. Carnahan, and mentioning the fact that Gen. Carnahan indorsed this plan. Mr. McNabb argued that it was wrong to give this chaplain the right to put up a tent be- cause It would give him too much authori- ty, which he would probably use for preach- ing populism. It was decided, however, without a division, that Chaplain Sander" son, so long as he had been elected as chap- lain of the rank, was entitled to a place in the camp. Mr. Cronie asked for informa- tion about police, but this matter was post- poned till the next meeting. Public Comfort. The committee on public comfort met last night at the National Hotel, with the following present: Chairman, J. H. Mitch- his vacation at Reneshaw Cottage, Colonial Beach, Miss A. T.
