SICKNESS CAUSED TRIP
TO BE POSTPONED

WASHINGTON, March 5.-This morning
the President received a telegram from
Governor Odell saying that he would be
obliged to return Immediately to Albany,
as his physicians had informed him that
he had an attack of the grip, and would
be unable to keep his engagement with the
President to-day. President Roosevelt wrote
the Governor expressing regret that he
would be unable to come to Washington
now, and told him that he would be glad
TO see him at any time in the near future
1t can be authoritatively stated that Gov
ernor Odell has not been offered the chair
manship of the Republican national COM
mittee and there is no probability that he
will be offered that position. 1t is under
stood that Governor Odells visit is merely
postponed, and that in the near future he
will come to Washington to talk to the
President. The latter's letter to the Gov
ernor was very cordial, and expressed the
hope that the Governor soon would be able
TO visit him at the White House
1t is made perfectly clear, however, by
the President himself that he will not be
drawn into any factional controversy over
the Craftsmanship of the New York State
Republican committee any other dis
puted question. He holds alphabetically
that such questions should be determined
by the Republicans on the scene of politi-
cal action in New York. He has told Sem
ator Platt what lis position is and had
Governor Odell come TO Washington to
see him to-day he would have told him
the same thing.

brief after taking up the indictments and
dcmurrers in detail, said that even IL the
conspiracy statute Ln,Cr which the .ndict-
ments were brought is hell TO be inappltc-
able to the District of Columbia, the IN
dictment may still be sustained under ihs

tends that il is of no purpose to say that
the government suffered no loss of money
or that. perhaps. the companies affected I'm
the transa ctions alleged against llIcse
former officials were not in fact fraudulent.
The important fact, IL is added, Is that
the defendants either failed TO perform

which they were Obliged TO perform. and
the government thus was defraudcd Of
the orderly and due administration OF its
laws.

READING OF "ENOCH ARDEN"
JOINS MUSIC AND DRAMA
Warner Ross to Recite Tennyson's
Lines, with Strauss Musical Set
ting by Paul Teichert.
USES AUTOGRAPH SCORE.

A notable addition to this seasons must
cal and dramatic events will be the Tendi-
ton next Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at
the Propylaeum, of Tennsysons "Enoch
Arden" with musical setting by Richard
Strauss. The lines of the poem will be read
by Warner Anthony Ross. and the musical
composition will be played by Paul Erd-
mann Teichert. The recital will be under
the management of Mrs. Ona 3. Talbot
and will be an invitational affair purely.
Richard Strauss, composer of the ''Enoch
Arden" music, reached this country from
Europe last week, and. accompanying Da-
vid Bispham, the noted dramatic reader,
gave a recital Of the poem and it's musical
setting in New York. Mrs. Talbot was in
New York city at the time. and attended
both the rehearsal and the performance in
Carnegie Hall. In a personal conversa-
ton with the composer she received in
structions from him to how certain diff
ficult parts should be interpreted and
brought back with her an autograph score
for Mr. Teichert.
''Enoch Arden" as will be given by Mr.
Ross and Mr.. Teichert is of type of
dramatic and musical entertainment now
rapidly succeeding the old musical mono
logue, in which one person sat at piano
and played his own accompaniment as he
read the lines. The old monologue scarcely
allowed the performer TO do justice TO him
self, but with one person reading the lines
and another playing the accompaniment
this objection Is removed.
The music of "Enoch Arden is in the
modern dramatic mode, which was raised
to its highest power by Richard Wagner
in his music-dramas. The characters. their
material circumstances and special activi-
ties are represented in the score of motifs.
or themes, upon which the entire musical
fabric is constructed. In the opinion of
many. Richard Strauss has succeeded, es-
pecially in "Enoch Arden" In coming near
er to the expression of human emotions
and dramatic incidents in musical form
than any other composer. with the possible
exception of Richard Wagner. Although
the 'Enoch Arden music was written for
the plano. Strauss is primarily an orches-
trail composer, and the music that will be
has great technical difficulties that can be
overcome successfully by few pianists.
Mr.. Ross, the reader, was originally of
Lafayette, Ind, but is now a resident of
this city, and, although a young man, he
has established a reputation as a reader of
power and sympathy. He is a graduate of
Indiana University and OF the School of
Expression, Boston, and has had several
years experience i'm the East as an actor.
He has selected indianapolis his home
because il is a literary center and offers
a good field for the exercise of his pro-
fesson.
Mr.. Teichert is we'll known in Indian
apolis as pianist of both sympathetic in
sight and technical skill. He is a success
full teacher of music, and was for years
In the Amphion Club, which was in its
lifetime a noted musical organization. Mr..
Teichert was assistant director and accom-
PIANIST.

The serenity of Lockerbie street is brok-
