Show UTAH VETERANS VSAY THEY WILL NOT MARCH Soldiers Prom the Philippines Assert That Their Invitation Came. Too Late. The Philippine veterans of Utah, who have heretofore expressed the opinion that they were being slighted In the preparations now under way for the observance ob-servance of President Roosevelt's visit to Salt Lake, decided yesterday that they would not march in the Roosevelt parade. This decision was reached, notwithstanding notwith-standing the organization had received an invitation to march with the Q. A. R. and the soldiers from Fort Douglas, because, as the Utah veterans assert, they were not invited until last Saturday, Satur-day, too late' a date, they say, to permit of assembling the members, who are scattered throughout the State. The Philippine veterans say plainly that they were Ellghted in the appointment appoint-ment of the parade committee and were not requested to participate In the marching until after all other preparations prepara-tions had been made. Plans for the decoration of the city and county building where. President Roosevelt will review the parade and address the school children of Salt Lake are complete. More than 4000 yards of bunting will be used, an amount sufficient suffi-cient to almost, cover three sides of the building, and an immense picture of the President Mill be suspended directly direct-ly over the west entrance where the reviewing re-viewing stand will be erected. Shut Out of Club. PARIS, May C5. M. Waldeck-Ropseau, the late French Premier, has been black-bailed black-bailed at the Yacht club here on political grounds. M. Gaston Menler and M. Ker-narxl-Orouin, his proposers, and several other members of the committee have resigned, re-signed, the. rules of the club forbidding that political considerations should Influence Influ-ence the election of members. 1 |
