AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING
To Push Along the Auditorium Project
The Speakers.

The smoker given last night at the Com
mercial Club. in the interests of the Indi-
ana Commercial Museum and Auditorium,
was decided success. 1t was one of those
quiet affairs at which the subject was seri-
ously discussed. The meeting was well at
tended and much interest was taken in the
remarks of the speakers, all of whom pre-
dicted the success of the project. d. NJ
Parry presided and he first called upon
Judge Gavin.
The building of the auditorium is a mat
ter which concerns all Of the people and
the remarks last night brought out a diff
ference of opinion to the raising of funds
necessary 10 start the enterprise. Judge
Gavin took the ground that it was purely
a business proposition and that the people
generally would not take sufficient interest
/ in it to provide the necessary funds. He
said that the financial benefits would ac-
crue to business men Z nd that the support
should, and no doubt would, come from
them.
Walker and one or two others took the
same view, and spoke along that line, al
though predicting the success of the move
ment.
Frank B. Burke and Councilman Negley
were the most enthusiastic supporters of
the sentimental side of the question and
argued that When the people generally be-
came fully acquainted with the plans of
the committee they would eagerly turn
their money into the scheme.
Max Hyman explained that at the meet
