The report at surrounded the with the various Grund Army of the Re pullic organizations would be recelved. All the gates of the White House grounds were besleged, the crowds extending sev- |em1 viocks, Policemen guarding the gates refused to honor any but those having badges ¢ the organizations for which arrange- ments had been made. Added confusion resuited from souvenir ribbons of the ‘Women's Rellef corps, bearing the plc- ture of the chalrman of the local clti- sens’ committee worn by many men, who believed the ribbons gave them admis- sfon.

Omaha Loses Chance To Entertain G, A. R. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WABHINGTON, Sept. 30.—(Special Tel- egram.)—Omaha today lost a golden op- portunity to entertain the Grand Army of the Republic next year. Up to the last moment of voting by the national encampment it was hoped by the friends of the Gate City a proposition would be recetved from Omaha inviting the vet- erans of the civil war to meet in the mid- west, and everybody seemingly was ready | to vote for the city which only for a tornado would have entertained the na- tional encampment three years ago. At the state encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic at Minden in May of this year,” sald Department Com- mander Humphrey tonight, “we unani- mously endorsed Omaha for the national encampment of 1916. As department com- mander 1 appointed a committee cons! ing of Captain C. E. Adams of Superior, alrman; Judge Lee Estelle, P, H. Wil- ox, Andrew Trainor and Jonathan Bd- wards to walt upon the Commercial club and other civic organizations for the pur- pose of ascertaining whether Omaha would like to entertain the Grand Army of the Republic. Nothing came of the suggestion to meet in Omaha next year. No interest was shown on the part of the city, and today with Illinois, Penn- sylvanis, Ohlo wanting to go to Omaha, 1 was compelled to vote for Kansas City, which became a candidate this morning. My judgment is that Omaha lost its su- { preme opportunity in not asking the pieme bers of the Grand Army of the Rebublie to be its guests next year.” i Directory to Show’ The Omaha Directory eompany is pre- paring data for its 19M directory of Greater.
