Council and Park Board Chambers
Will BE Beautifully Decorated.
MURAL PAINTINGS FOR COUNCIL
Mr.. Brsdstreet's Designs Also Pro-
vide Appropriate Frescoes for
the Park Board.

CONTRACTS let by the courthouse and
city hall commission insure that the
council and mark board assembly rooms
will not be SURPASSED in appropriate ar
t1stic decoration by any public chamber
In the state. In the recent competition
for the work, elaborate designs prepared
by John s. Bradstreet were selected from
among the many submitted by prominent
decorating firms because he had most
happily combined appropriateness with
great artistic effect in design and rich
ness in coloring. Local material has
been used in building up the designs ard
the proportions of the chambers are such
that they can be worked out most, ef-
fcctively.
The council chamber is two stories in
Height with gallery. According to Mr..
Bradstreet's plans, the walls and ceiling
of the Chamber will be in Ma.arin blue,
touched with gold Pilasters and raised
portions of the walls will be in old metal
effect and the same treatment will be
applied to the architectural beams which
panel the ceiling. The background. of the

propriate finishing touch to the room
which will be rich throughout.
Owing to the fact that the park board is
engaged in special work, it has beer
possible for Mr.. Bradstreet to make the
decorative scheme CT that chamber more
deliberately typical, The apartment is 81
by 60 feet and two stories high. The
general scheme will lembrace the foliage
and birds aof Minnesota. In tone The
chamber Will be in Greuby green which
will serve to set off elaborate frescoes
and rich, stained glass. The leading

Neither regiment has yet reached San

render in their impassive way such SER
vices as deepens the conviction that with
out their assistance many of the marines

In the case of Lieutenant Day, who also
was acquitted, General Chaffee disapproves
the finding 10 the specification and charge
of murder. He says that Lieutenant Day
should have known that this commanding
officer. Major Waller, had for three weeks
been under a test of mental and physical
to undergo; that he was sick with fever
his temperature los, and his body covered
with painful sores. Day was the only
officer not sick on duty, and in the full
possession of his faculties and his plain
duty was to counsel delay in the execution
of the order to kill the natives. General
Chanee refers TO the order OF Major wal
Ter as "tained" and says it should have
prompted him (Day) TO a positive dis
obedience of the same.
Notwithstanding the disapproval the two
officers were released as they could not be
tried for the same offense.
The War Department also has received
copies of large number of cOurts-martial
cases, giving the records of trials by mill
tary commissions. Private William Denton,
Company c, Ninth Infantry, who deserted
al Balangiga in August 1901, was sentenced
to death, but the sentence was commuted 10
life Imprisonment. James H. Kearney, ar
tificer, Company NJ Forty-third Volunteers,
was sentenced to twenty years for aiding
oommuted 10 five years. The records show
that number of natives have been con-
victed before the military commission or
numbering their fellow-natives.

approved by Chaffee.

has been relieved of the command in the
Philippines and ordered to the command
of the Department of the East, by an or
der issued to-day by Secretary Root The

A few days ago General Chaffee was
cabled that he could have either the COM
mand of the Department of the East or the
Department of the Lakes if he desired to
come home at this time. He was informed
that the retirement of General Brooke
afforded an opportunity of making either
change he desired. The cablegram closed
with cOmmendation by the secretary of
war of General Chaffee's services in China
and the Philippines. A reply was received
on Saturday from General Chaffee stating
that he left the matter entirely with the
department, but that he would prefer New
York in case he was relieved in the Phil
ippines. He suggested that Sept. 80 would
be a good date to make any change in
the command of the Philippines These dis
patches were sent to President Roosevelt
at Oyster Bay, who consulted with Secre-
tary Root and the secretary directed the
order to be issued relieving General Chaffee
and placing General Davis in command.
The status of the commanders of the De
partment of the East as qualified by this

CONFERENCE AT OSTEND
UNITED STATES AND OTHER NATIONS
TO BE REPRESENTED.
w. Il. English One Of the American
DeIeEates-COmmerc Questions
to Se Discussed.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 14.-An information
al conference of commerce and industry
that may have important commercial re-
suits, is TO be held at Ostend, Belgium,
from Aug. 26 to 30 next. The United
States government has appointed its dele
gates TO the conference, but it does not as
yet know exactly what the scop~ of the
meeting is to be. The government does
understand. however, that the conference
is to enter discussion that may bring
about at least a better, if not a complete
understanding among the great commercial
nations of the world that have shown
signs in the last two or three years of
breaking out into commercial warfare
Delegates who will represent the United
States at the conference. are: Prof. John
Gray, of the Northwestern University,
Evanston. Ill; ]. D. Whelpley. District of
apolis; John Files, Pennsylvania; Edward
G.. Pratt, Iowa; Frank A. Vanderlip. New
York; Irwin NJ. Scott, California; Myron T.
Herrick, Ohio; S. W. Stratton, District of
Columbia, and H l.. Spencer, Iowa.
From the character of the men appointed
to represent the United States, it will be
seen that the government does not con-
slider il impossible that matters of great
weight to the business world may came up
for discussion. The American delegates
are not authorized of course, to enter into
any compact or agreement binding on the
United States They are sent merely to
observe and take part in the general dis
cuSsiOn. The conference was pro-
NOTED by the Belgian government
and all the important commercial
nations of the world are asked
to take part While a correct list of ac-
cepted invitations has not been received in
Washington, enough is known here to make
IL certain that a large number of powers
will have delegates in the conference. The
list OF subjects TO be taken up is long one,
but naturally the subject of tariffs holds
first place.
