weak, trivial things and one Graves a
new language that shall express the
thoughts that come as one recalls the
marvellous performance offered to To-
pekans in the auditorium.
One is almost loath to use the word
concert for it seems to have been
more a sacred rite, an unfolding of
the inner spirit of music, and yet
when one tries to analyze coldly and
critically the reason why, there is no
answer. There are other orchestras
in the world which surpass this or
chestra in material; there are other
conductors in the world who. in GER
tain lines at least. surpass Toscanini,
and yet out of a long experience of
concert going in America and Europe,
the writer can think of no orchestral
concert so thrilling, so eminently salts
factory as the one last evening. 1t is
possible that the program was trifle
over the heads of the audience, par
ticularly in the number by Debussey
and Respighi where the modern idiom
that adds peculiar harmonic and
melodic combinations and its vivid or
chestral colors must have seemed very
strange to ears unaccustomed to its
accents.
Marvel to Musicians.
For the musician the program was a
marvel. Beginning with the vivaldi
Concerto, so marvelously clear and
beautiful in its outlines and played
with a sympathy and vefve that made
it a living, pulsing thing of today,
thru to the last measures of the Love

Indictments Against 227 on
Five Counts Returned.
Central Field Operators and
Miners Accused of Conspiracy.

Indianapolis, Feb. 25.-An indict-
ment containing five counts charging
conspiracy to violate the Sherman
antitrust act, was returned by the
federal grand jury today against 227
coal operators, coal operators associa-
tions, coal mining companies and coal
miners.
The list of indicted persons includes
persons and corporations in Indiana,
Illinois, Pennsylvania and Ohio, which
comprise the central competitive coal
field.
Among those indicted are many in
dividua1 defendants now under indict-
ment for violation of the ever act.
The names were made public in the
return to United States District Judge
A. B. Anderson, except those of twelve
individuals, which were withheld
pending their arrest.
The Indictment returned today is a
separate one from that returned by
the federal grand jury about a year
ago against 125 coal miners and oper-
ators charging violation ofthe Lever
act. Included among those indicted
are John L. Lewis, president of the
U. NJ. w. A. of America; William
Green, secretary of the U. M. w. A. O
America; Percy Ttelow, statistician of
the U. NJ. W. A.

the conclusion would doubtless be that
never until the present era had de-

The decorative principle involved Is
not a new one. The Egyptian temple

But never has such good use been
put to the principle in connection with
clothes as at the present day. We
have succeeded because we have
dared to eliminate every other decor
alive device or trimming when we
have made use of this. The merest

Death" from Tristan and Isolde, there
was mastery of detail, a surety of
conception a deliberate breaking of
tradition when tradition hampered,
generated into sentimentality and yet
was modern and throbbing with life.

memory, even the customary conduc-

nothing between him and the or

music appeared made visual by that

Beethoven Symphony Startling.
The Beethoven symphony was read
with a disregard of tradition that at
times was startling, and yet nearly al
ways justified itself by the result
achieved. Debussey and Respighi, in
| their difficult modern idiom, received
a highly sympathetic and inspired
reading but the climax of the program
undoubtedly lay in the Prelude and
Love-Death from Tristan and Isolde.
These are perhaps the greatest of
Wagner's creations. In them is the
surest mastery of all means of musical

melodic invention, harmonic and con-
trapuntal mastery and orchestral color
of the most vivid type: added to these
an elemental human passion perfectly
portrayed and superb1y interpreted by

How Harry's decision to add to

OF POSTMASTERS
IN STATE MEET

The executive committee Of the

day, to consider matters in connec-
ton with the association.
Added to the fact that these post
masters from various parts of the
state are here on business pertain

attached to their visit in view of the
fact that Postmaster General Will
H. Hayes recently issued instruc-
tons to them to avail themselves of
every opportunity to inspect the
workings of other offices, this being
contrary to the policy heretofore in
force in the department.
Members of the committee are in
