yesterday in consultation with officials of
the Treasury Department and Department
of Justice over the indianapolis postoffice
site problems. In the absence of specific

will return to Indianapolis armed with au-
thority TO ask for a modified decree of
the court on the findings Of the con-
demnation, commission which Will protect
the interests OF the government and the land

esSary time.
Mr.. Wishard will be home Tomorrow,

with property owners. He will also be au-
thorized to deal with the telephone and
electric lighting companies for a final set

PLANS FOR THE FESTIVAL
THE COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL EX-
TEND FINANCIAL BACKING.
Season Tickets VIII BE sold by SUBJ
Z scription-The Best Artists Avail
able VIII BE Secured.

The May music festival directors held an
important meeting yesterday afternoon at
the office or the president OF the board,
Senator Beyeridge at which much was done
towards getting the various forces to work
for the next festival, which will be held
either the first or second week OF next
May.
Mr.. Mayer, chairman OF the finance COM
mittee, reported that his committee had a
conference with representatives OF the Com
mercial Club, at which it was practically
arranged for the club TO undertake to give
the festival the necessary financial backing
to insure Its success. The present plan.

tickets instead Of for the guarantee fund.

tival board giving their assurance that the
festival will be kept up to its former high
standard. and the best artists available en-
gagged. IL is believed that people will sub
scribe more literally for tickets than TO a
guarantee fund, and that the results Will
be more satisfactory in every way. With a
subscription for $500 or LOCO worth of tick
cts. the directors say there will be no prob
ability of a deficit. The various committees
OF the board were instructed by President
Beverage to be most economical In their ex-
penditures.
The general plan OF the festival was dis
cussed at length, and Ii was the unani-
nous decision that the so-called festival
idea" should be carried out to its utmost
possibility-that is, TO give special promi-
nence TO the choral work, and engage for
the various compositions TO be presented
the best artists for the work they will be
called upon to DO. The secretary was in
structed to enter into correspondence with
the leading singers OF the country, to RS
certain IL their services will be available for
the Indianapolis festival.

fixed al four. three nights and one after
noon. The prices of seats will be as follows
Season tickets. front row balcony, s.; rear
rows balcony and front rows down stairs,

season tickets.

ton or a musical director but this matter
will probably be settled early next week
II Is the intention TO get the chorus organ
tzed as early as possible in December SO
that the work may be well under way the
nrst OF the year.
Ii Is generally agreed that the prospects
Ior Iestivad rext year are most favora-

Mr. J. Bader. a New York travelling sales
man, was at the Bates House yesterday.
1t is his first trip to indianapolis In six
years. He suffered greatly some time ago
from nervous prostration and his life was
despared of, but he went to Colorado,
where he roughed itgin a mining camp
for few months, and has fully recovered.
In speaking of indianapolis, he stated that
he has never seen a city grow so rapidly
and substantially in the last few years as
Indianapolis. He said that when he visited
this city the last time the beautiful SOL
diers' monument was only in course of con-
struction and that now Ii is the grandest
structure of the kind that he has ever seen
and he has Travelled extensively. When il
is illuminated at night it presents Won
derful appearance, he said, and he thought
strangers visiting the city appreciated the
grandeur of the structure more than the
residents OF the city.

Says-DemOcratic Candidates.

Senator Joseph H. Shea, of Scottsburg,
came in yesterday to attend the trial of the
suit against Sheriff Goblin for failure to
exercise his authority to prevent the lynch
ing Of Marion Tyler last winter He said

isfied that the sheriff did all he could under
the circumstances. He said the sentiment
was general against the lynchers and every
one I'M Scott county would be glad to see
them punished, but they regarded the pres
ent suit in the light of a persecution.

Mayor Taggart, OF this CITY, Tom has
many friends in that part Of the State, "

The attachment is not designed for use in

its value is in the fact that, by using it, a
