Despite the desire of the officials

pointment of a committee composed
of William Quigley and James w.

any confetti and "ticklers" allowed

In the city, in connection with the
Mardi Gras and celebration of the
opening of State streets white way

Mayor and Chief Opposed.
This fact became positive today
when an EVENING NEWS represen-
tative interviewed Mayor Bollsch-
weller and Chief Burke on the sub
ject and found both officials bitterly
opposed to the confetti practice.
His Honor" is not strongly opposed
to the ticklers, although not willing
to make exception to the usual rule
for this occasion, while Chief Burke
considers the aggrayators of the hu-
morous tissues to be even as danger
Gus as the little pieces of paper.
Committeeman Quigley and Lynch,
appointed by President Thomas F.
Burke of the association, at last
nights meeting, will confer with the
mayor today and present a petition
from the association asking for the
privileges mentioned. Joseph At
f1arbach, of Fayette street, has Of
fered 200 pounds of confetti to the
association at reasonable figure.
The Mardi Gras committee, Herman
Philo, chairman, was given power to
secure confetti, If the city officials
extended the privileges.
Band Is Secured.
Mr.. Philo, the chairman of com
mittee on arrangements, reported
that a band had been secured for four
ming at o'clock. The cost is $65.
He reported a number of prizes are
being displayed and that the pro-
gram is compiled and in the hands
of the printers.
President Burke reported the
work on the erection of the white
way" is being pushed rapidly by the
Public Service officials, despite the
fact no contract has been signed. He
also said the contracting company
recently offered to construct 1,400
feet of wire, with electric lights
hung every three feet, along both
sides of the street for the night of
the celebration. The cost is nomi-
nal, only SIS, so President Burke ac-
cepted the offer.
Accept As Judges.
Secretary Thomas Brown reported
letters of acceptance had been re-
ceived from the following gentle
men selected as judges: Harry Con-
ard, Sidney Riddlestorffer and Will
lam P. O'Hara.
The committee on arrangements
was authorized to engage five pieces
of the Goodwill Fife and Drum
Corps for the nights of Thursday and
Saturday, July and 8. The corps
will play two hours each night and
thus continue the celebration for
the entire week. The cost will be
$3.50 per night.

ed the use of his large sitting room,
at 432 State street, in which to en-
tertain the judges following the

accepted. The following new mem
