WILL MEET IN JUNE.
An Interesting Programme Will In
clude an Address by Senator
Beveridge-Hotel Visitors.

The annual convention Of the Indiana
State Hotel Association will be held in this
city early in June at the new Claypool Ho-
tel, and arrangements are being made for
one of the largest meetings in the history
of the association. Especial interest is being
taken in the convention by the hotel men
Of the State, as they are all anxious to in
spect the new Claypool. which is conceded
to be one Of the finest hostelries in the coun-
try and far ahead of anything of its kind
in Indiana. The new hotel will be opened
the middle of May. and by the time the con-
vention meets everything about 1t will be
running smoothly.
The programme for the convention will be
unusually interesting, according to the plans
in hand, and one of the features will be an
address by Senator Beveridge on the SUBJ
ject, American Hotel-keeping Compared
to bookkeeping in Foreign Countries" Z"
An invitation to deliver the address was
extended to the senator yesterday by ]. s.
Hall. of this city. who is looking after the
programme. and, while the senator did not
definitely accept. it is understood that he
will do so.
w. v. Turpen, Of Marion, is the president
of the association.

SOCIALISTS OF INDIANA
HERE TO PERFECT ORGANIZATION
FOR CAMPAIGN OF 1904.
Favorable Comment on ID. M. Parry's
Attitude and Criticism for Senator
Hanna-Meetfngs To-day.

The Socialists of Indiana opened a two
Reichwein Hall. Noble and Market streets.
Forty-four delegates from various parts of
the State presented credentials during the
day, but it is thought that the attendance
will be largely increased to-day and that
at the mass meeting tonight at least two
hundred delegates will be present.
The object of the meeting is to discuss
plans and perfect an organization for the
campaign of 1904. Officers will be elected
to-day and organizers selected to carry on
the work of extending the minor organiza-
tions all over the State. The Socialists
have organizations In fifty-two counties at
present, with an actual membership of
100. The party polled over 1000 votes at
the last election, however, and expects to
make even stronger showing next year.
The strongholds of socialism in Indiana at
present are Marion, Linton, Terre Haute,
Fort Wayne, Evansville, Clay City, Mum
Alexandria, Vincennes, Columbus, Jeffer-
sonville. Elwood. Washington. Richmond
and Lawrenceburg. The party will concen-
trate its efforts next year in the hope Of
electing at least one member of the State
Legislature.
The meeting yesterday was organized
glass worker of Alexandria, chairman, and
William Barrett, of Indianapolis. secretary.
James O'Neal, of Terre Haute, state secre-
tary, was present and made an informal
address. Other speeches were made by
various delegates advancing ideas for the
party work during the next year and a
half. James O'Neal, of Terre Haute, G. A
Husman, of Indianapolis, and DR.. Brose
s. Horne, of Marion, were constituted a
committee on organization, and William
Mahoney, of Marion, j. F. Essex, of In
dianapolis, and w. n. Shaw, of Elkhart, a
committee on rules and order of business.
In effecting the new state organization 1t
is proposed TO combine the Offices of secre-
tary and treasurer and make the position
a salaried one, to which James O'Neal, of
Terre Haute. will probably be elected. A
lecturing campaign will be conducted and
Eugene V. Debs, of Terre Haute, will be
one Of the principal speakers. The Social
lists will declare for the collective owner
ship of all means of production and dis
tribution.
Several of the delegates and officers of
the convention had a good word to say for
d. NJ. Parry yesterday, and at the same
time they condemned Senator Hanna as a
hypocrite. They said that Parry is plain
and outspoken as a representative of his
class, while they accuse Senator Hanna of
ulterior motives in his laudation of labor.
At the mass meeting tonight, which will
close the convention, addresses will be
made by a number of prominent Socialists,
including William Mahoney and John Kel-
ly, OF Marion, and S. NJ Reynolds and
James O'Neal, of Terre Haute.

MUSIC AS A SIDE LINE.
George Shirts, of NOblesville, Some-
thing of a Comic Opera Impresario.


thing of Comic Opera Impresario.
George Shirts, of Noblesville, the new
clerk of the codifying commission, seeks
relaxation from the grind of law business
in music. Most attorneys have side issue
of one kind or another, but Mr.. Shirts finds
dabbling in music the most attractive di-
version and he goes into it very enthusi-
asticaly. During the early part Of the past
week. just at the time the race for the
clerkship Of the codifying commission was
at its most intense point, Mr.. Shirts found
his music just the least bit of a distrac-
ton, as he was conducting the rehearsals
for comic opera, which a company of
amateurs was arranging to put on In
Noblesville. Very naturally he would have
liked to give all his attention to his candi-
dacy, just at that time but he had gone
into the comic opera business and he had to
see 1t through, and he did. He conducted
rehearsal Tuesday evening, just before
coming down to this city for the meeting
of the commission next day, and he left
here Wednesday at noon in order to get
home for full dress rehearsal that even
ing, at o'clock.
when 1 left Noblesville Tuesday even
ing said Mr. Shirts in telling the story
at the Spencer House the other evening,
''of course everyone in the company knew
what l was coming down here for and
they gave me their best wishes. Wednes-
day afternoon just we were in the mid
die Of the rehearsal, a telegram was
handed to me. They all knew what the
message meant, and you could have heard
a pin drop as they watched me open the
envelope and read the yellow sheet.
MY face must have told them that the
news was good news for they began con-
graduating me before / could say a word.
We didn't have time for any side issues
then, however, and / started on with the
rehearsal, but when we came to sort of
hip, hip, hoorah' chorus you ought to
have heard that company sing. And, some
way or other. felt like 'hoorahing' a little
mySelf"

This may be accomplished by the shutting
of of the supply at the elbow valve.
According to the ten weeks test in Judge
Cnipman's Office the stove consumes max
imum Of four gallons of oil day. At this
rate the stove would consume 100 gallons
year. or about thirty barrels. As the period
of use for a heating. stove is but six
monts. this would make the annual ex-
pense for fuel about SIS. Mr.. Reed re-
CARDS this as the possible maximum crude
oil Is now In the market quotations at slO9
AT this price the cost OF fuel would not De
much more than the contract price or
natural gas in Indianapolis for a fire. for IT
muss be remembered that heating stoves
do not remain in use much more than nve
months of the year. Mr.. Reed deplores the
extravagant use which Indiana made OF its
bountiful supply of gas. and he feels that
those who have had the benefits of Ii would
gladly pay three times what they have been
paying for an adequate supply. He regards
MS invention as opening the way Tor the
substitution OF crude oil for gas, and in this
substitution the piping for the gas fuel
may be used advantageously.
A FURTHER STATEMENT.
Mr.. Reed says there have been oil burn
ers that were successful, but they used oil
from which gasoline or naphtha had been
taken. His burner is intended to burn the
oil just as 1t comes from the we'll He says
agents of the Standard Oil Company ex-
amined his burner and promised no inter-
ference with 1t IL he adapted 1t to refined
oils, but that the company would not be
agreeable to a crude oil burner. Mr.. Reed
feels that the development Of oil in this
country and the area over which ii Is scat
tered precludes the success of the Standard
Company In fighting crude oil burners.
1t is Mr.. Reeds purpose to make Indian
apolis the headquarters for the introduc-
ton of his invention this summer. He will
demonstrate the use Of 1t by eQuipping sew
eral stoves and competing them with an
exterior tank. He thinks the average house
could be equipped for from SIS TO 500. The
expectation is that most people will use a
small tank costing only few dollars. The
burners will be made in several sizes. A
company is now organized TO promote the
invention, in which Washington capitalists
are interested
Mr.. Reed is the inventor of burner for
use in the United States navy. In the test
OF II before the army board at Newport
News some months ago he succeeded In
demonstrating its efficiency by evaporating
1921 pounds of water for one pound of oil,
a record never before equaled. The govern
ment has not yet announced it's decision on
the burners submitted during the prolonged
tests. The Navy Department is investi-
eating all oil burners with reference to the
successful substitution of oil for coal as sea
fuel.

TOmlinsOn Hall To-MOrrow.
Interest is increasing in the Forthcoming
exhibit of Indiana art, which will open at
Tomlinson Hall tomorrow and continue
until May 9. William Chase has sent six
canvases for the exhibit. He also sends a
still life, which always represents him at

artist has received more honors at home
and abroad than have been bestowed on
Mr.. Mosler. Fine work from other men
of note will be shown. Frank Z. Scott, now
of Paris, and Paul Dessar, of New York,
will be well represented.
In black and white there will be draw
ings by Fred Tolin and Walter Galloway,
both of New York. They are men who
now stand at the front as illustrators and
newspaper artists.

fine showing. Mr.. Steele had the honor Of
being selected as one of jury of twelve to
select the American pictures for the Paris
exposition. The jury was composed of the
leading artists of America, and Mr..
Steele was the only Western man IL was a
distinct honor to him and to our State.
The members of the Hoosier group have
eacn generously donated one of their best
pictures TO the Flower Mission. They are
to be sold at auction the first evening of
the exhibit.
1t is expected that Monday night the
first view night, will be brilliant occasion.
Many out-of-town people will be present,
and IL will be an important social as well
as artistic event. The stage will be ar
and tea will be served by the ladies of the
Flower Mission.

COLISEUM NOT DEAD.


An afternoon paper printed report yes
terday that the coliseum project is dead
and that the great building will never be
built"
Hugh ]. MCGOWAN and others of the
coliseum projectors said last night that the
report was without the slightest founda-
ton in fact.
You know the coliseum will be built
said Mr.. MCGOWAN 1.-The committee stop
ped where il did in the subscription of
funds because it was incumbent on the
people to raise the amount additional for
the Technical Institute. Since that was
cleared away the coliseum committee has
been waiting for a time to begin a long
pull. and a strong pull and a pull alto
gether."
Mr.. MCGOWAN intimated that this time is
not far away. The late spring season is one
thing that is said to have delayed the re-
sumption of the coliseum canvass. The
gloomy. unreasonable days have not put
business men in the right frame of mind to
receive coliseum or any other projects 1t
is believed that about May i the project
will be taken up with the pull altogether
which Mr.. MCGOWAN speaks of. While some
more impctuous persons have urged con-
tinuous work the tacticians have felt salts
fed with waiting.
