THERE WILL Be CONCERTS.
The 0pen-Air Committee Outlines Its
Plan Therefor.
Encouraging Reports from sub-Com-
mIttees-Use of Capitol Park to
be Asked For.

The Executive Committee of the Open
Air Concert Association held meeting
last night to perfect the organization and
lay out the work of the subcommittee
for the season.
NJ. Schmidt the member of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Federated Trades,
VINO had been requested to propose TO the
different unions the plan OF having each
union appoint some one to collect sub
scriptions within the union, reported that
he had brought up the matter at the last
meeting of the committee. 1t was stated
to him that the different unions in the
shops had already canvassed their mem
bers on the subject and had received con-
tributions from them before this PROPOSE
ton was made. A meeting of the Execu
tive Committee could be called and they
could visit the different unions and see
what they can do. He thought they
could present a report in two weeks.
The Chairman suggested that II the
Executive Committee of the Federated
Trades should visit the unions tor the
purpose of taking steps TO collect in them,
II would be well to state That it did not
need TO be a full payment, but could be
paid in installments, so that it would be
but lightly felt but could be easily paid.
The Chairman named +. Bergman, L.
Devlin and Il. Hartman as the Music
Committee.
The naming OF Canvassing Committee
being next under consideration, the
Chairman said he thought it would be
advisable TO divide the city into districts
for convassing. He thought the street
railway company would contribute lib
orally If they were properly approached.
The concerts last year were the source Of
much revenue to the company contrary
10 their expectations. as they carried
many people both ways on concert nights.
Mr.. Bergman agreed with the Chair
man as to the advisability of dividing the
city into districts for canvassing.
The Chairman thought it would be
well to appoint one committee for j
street, one Tor X street and others for
other parts and to appoint only such as
would serve. Last year, he said, there
were ten persons appointed on the COM
mittee and only two reported for duty.
1t was decided to make the alley be-
tween and X streets the line up to
Fourteenth street. On the north side of
the alley the Canvassing Committee will
be John Larllin, E. Hartman and Frank
Bergman. On the south side OF the alley
George Clark, +. Il. johnson and Frank
NJ. Woodson constitute the committee.

A committee consisting of George H.
Stephenson and +. II. johnson were ap-
pointed to wait on the Capitol Commits
sioners and request permission to hold
part OF the concerts in the Capitol Park.
The special committee appointed last
week to canvass certain persons in the
vicinity OF the Plaza, reported they had
met with very good success.
y discussion as 10 the best time for
holding the first concert arose, and it was
decided to ascertain whether the Grand
Lodge of Foresters had a night disen-
gagged, and if so to determine the FEAST
bility of holding it on that night.
II was decided to hold meeting of the
committee each Tuesday night, and it
was requested that the Clerks Committee
