Visitors HOnOred at Receptions i'm the
Afternoon and Dinners and
Dance in the Evening.
THEIR CONCERT AT ENGLIsHs
LIVELY MUSIC OF THE PECULIARLY
COLLEGE NATURE.
Whole Audience Seemed to Have
Come i'm Carriages, and Ii APP
plauded Enthusiastically.

The Yale Glee and Banjo Club, on it's
annual triumphal tour, stopped in Indian
apolis yesterday at the solicitation of
young and old sons of the university ii rep
resents. In the afternoon the members of
the club were entertained at numerous
ceptions, at which the hostesses had as
sembled their young women friends. In
the evening the visitors were entertained
at dinner in different homes and later
they gave a concert at English's Opera
House. Following the concert the Yale
Alumni Association of the city gave a
dance at the Propylaeum in honor of the
musicians. The visitors spread late in
formation about Yale among their Indian
apolis brethren. and college talk ran high
at all the gatherings.
The audience at the concert was en-
thusiastic and interesting. There were so
many carriages on Monument Place that
it seemed no person inside of the theater
came on foot or on a street car. The boxes
were occupied by parties of young men
and women. The concert was given by the
three divisions. of the club-the singers,
the banjo players and the mandolin play
ers. The songs were mostly of the ringing
sort that sprout up naturally at college
and the instrumental music suffered not
from classicism. In "Tutti Frutti" the
glee and banjo clubs d1Ved into ragtime
a kind of music that is better appreciated
the farther those that indulge in il are
from college and the higher education.
But ragtime originated with the banjo
in the negro shanties of the Southland
these prosperous college banjoists syn
copated effectively.
Certain of the singers were capable also
of various limitations, and the pig, the
rooster. the crow and the dog were intro
duced in THE Dawn" F. r. Wiggin COO
made a great hit. He is a blonde, demure
youth and he stood In front of the line
and sang the solo part of THE Whizz
Fish" and other grOtesque songs. He
clasped his hands in front of him and gazed
shyly the audience he sang. 1.-The
WhiZz Fish told OF monkey that sat in
a rubber tree and tangled his tail in the
water. The whizz fish bit the monkeys
tail and snatched out of the water and
devoured. But a great fish came along
and took the monkeys tail and swan off.
The monkey chung to the rubber tree, and
the tree stretched like a garter. Finally
the fish let go and the monkey was shot
through the air like an arrow and proba-
bly, is'fying yet. Mr.. Virgins sang several
songs of this kind and gave a recita ton
in German dialect besides. Mr.. Read and
Mr.. Ellsworth warbled, or yodled, in Fairy
Moonlight" Messrs. Chittenden. Johnston,
Roberts and Tyler, THE Foolish Four"
had string of tricky songs Mr. Tyler
sang Nevin's THE Rosary sympathetical-
ly and with many hne tones in his bass
voice.

tended from ceiling to floor, this being COW

here was the Yale banner of blue and
white. The high mantel in the rear of the
hall was heavily banked with palms, which.
together with the freize, seemed to fill the
entire end of the room: Huge clusters of
palm leaves formed wall panels al frequent
intervals. Add to this the elegant and
dainty gowns of the women and the whole
made a particularly brilliant scene. Re
freshmentS were served during the evening

IMITATION UNION LABEL
TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION NO. L WILL
PROSECUTE CERTAIN FIRMS.
A Committee VIII Bring Suit Against
Establishments That Use
the False Label.

The Typographical Union of Indianapolis
is after those printing establishments that
employ nonunion workmen and have been
unlawfully using the union label on their
work. a committee from the union is
bringing suit against these various estab-
lishments, claiming that they are using a
label that so closely resembles the union
label that it is calculated to deceive the
public. Attorney w. V. Rocker is repre-
senting the committee.
The complaint sets out the organization
of the local typographical union and also
the organization of the international union,
reciting that the purposes of these organi-
cations are TO promote skill and health
among the printers craft. 1t is alleged
that members of the union have been dis
tinguished for their superior skill and for
the superior quality of their work. 1t is
claimed that by reason of these facts the
employers of union labor pay an average
scale of wages largely in excess of that
paid by employers of nonunion labor. 1t
is set out that 10 assure their employees
credit before the public for the employment
OF union labor the typographical union has
adopted a label TO be imprinted upon ma L
ter turned out by union establishments,
designating that the work was done by
union printers for fair wages and under
favorable conditions. 1t is alleged that the
typographical union has paid out and ex-
pended large sums of money in introducing
these labels to the public and that the de-
PENDANTS are seeking to gain credit for the
use of these labels without employing union
labor. The court will be asked to enjoin
the defendants from the further use of
these labels, and accounting of profits
that have accrued to firms doing this will
lie asked. 1t will be demanded that the
defendants be required TO pay over all the
profits they have made on account Of the
use of these labels.
1t is claimed that these imitation labels
have been got UP in very skillful way. 1t
is said they are much smaller than the
genuine label and not really a counter
felt because they are not worded precisely
the same. However, the resemblance is so
close that it could scarcely be detected
without the use of a microscope.

cents instead of the amount charged. The
plan was to let the company have what
