ROOSEVELT RECEIVES A GREAT WELCOME ; SHARES HONORS WITH GENERAL LAWTON

DEMONSTRATION IS ONE OF GREATEST II STATE'S HISTORY Many Thousands Thronged The Streets of Indianapolis and Vented Their Enthusiasm in Every Way. STATUE OF LAWTON IS CENTER OF INTEREST. 'Unveiling Took Place in the , Presence of Many Notables -Speech of President Was Suitable to the Day. r The speech of President Roosevelt will be found in full on page 3. (By Demas 8. Coe.) - Indianapolis, May 30. Well Indiana assembled to join in the tribute paid today to the heroism of the dead soldier, General Henry ' W. Lawton . and to America's - greatest statesman and citizen. President Theodore Roosevelt. 1$ would be difficult to estimate the thousands that thronged the streets this forenoon, hours before the train bearing the president and his party, reached the city, but it probably was one. of the greatest assemblages that the Hoosier capital has ever seen. The sun shone brilliantly and with warmth 'during the early hours of the "jnorning, and there wsncrtmn"g-t6fh dicate that rain might mar the day's observance. Clouds began . to obscure the sky about 11 o'clock, and there were grave fears that conditions by mid-afternoon might cause a change in the program for out-door exercises. Train was on Time. In full keeping- with President Roosevelt's own punctuality, the Big Four train, bearing him and his party reached Indianapolis precisely on time, at 10:50 o'clock. A shout that could be heard for squares above the din of clanging bells and shrieking whistles, announced the arrival. Oth- ' er noises were drowned as the cheer of welcome arose, swelling, into . a mighty volume of sounds' as the Big Four train bearing the presidential party puffed into the east entrance of the sheds at the union station. The deafening acclaim bespoke a most generous Hoosier welcome. Committee Boards Train. As the Pullman containing the president and his traveling companions was stopped at the Meridian street crossing of the union tracks. Congressman Jesse Overstreet, chairman of the reception committee, accompanied by fellow members of the committee, climbed aboard. With the congressman - were.-Governor J. Frank Hanly, Mayor " Chas. A. Bookwaiter, Col. J. R. Fesler, of the Indiana Department, G. A. R., Capt. Harry S. New, Senator Albert ; J. Beveridge and Senator James A. ; Hemenway. " The receiving party ; entered the President's car and gave him a warm greeting. He was then escorted to the rear platform of the car.? whereupon the crowd caught its first glimpse of the visitor. The cheer that followed made the one which marked the ar rival of the train appear insignificant One mighty burst of sound was heard and then one deep-lunged individual proposed "Three cheers for Teddy." These were given with a vim that could not but delight. Makeup of the Party. With the President and close at his fide was Vice President Fairbanks, who joined the President yesterday at Canton. O., where both attended the funeral of Mrs. McKinley. Others in the party included William Loeb, Jr., secretary to the President: M. C. Latta, assistant secretary; Dr. Rixey and a number of secret service men who guarded their chief cautiously. The police had maintained an open avenue from the tracks to the carriage which were in waiting and which contained the members of reception committee who did not board the train. Congressman Overstreet escorted the President, to his carriage. Spontaneous and Sincere. The sidewalks in Meridian were thronged eight and ten persons deep, with men. women and children, who cheered as the President's carriage approached, passed and left them. Windows were thronged with people and every square foot of available space Jn the street and in the surrounding lmildiugs Has fillc-U. All liidlauaiHilis joined iu the greeting.

Let it be unveiled that you, sir. the first citizen of the land he served, and you. madam, whom he lov: ed so well and for whose welfare his only concern was at thought of death may 'behold its beauty and its strength, and that we his countrymen and our children may look upon it. Let it stand here to show that Indiana does not forget her sons, nor her people their benefactors.

ANNUAL TRIBUTE IS : : PAld'TO ME'MBRYQF THE NATION'S GEAR

' At the Same Time the Living Heroes are -'Given -Their Full Share of Praise by a Grateful and Prosperous People.' MEMORIAL DAY4 QUITE J WELL OBSERVED HERE Work of Decorating Graves ' 'Attended to in the Morning Exercises at the ColiseKum Preceded by a Parade. Hundreds of meii who followed the battle banners of .Grant, , Sherman, 'Sheridan and other leaders of the .; great rebellion, who are sleeping their long sleep in the various cemeteries of this county were today remembered by loving comrades waiting patiently i the sounding of "taps", and by grate- : ful , fellow citizens. On every grave j where floats a minatuVe flag, flowers iwere placed. Some of these graves I are the last resting places of soldiers of a later generation who fought . uuder Chaffee in Cubat and under Law'ton in the Philippines men who fol- ! lowed the eagles of "the republic over j the seas. ! At the G. A. R. hall this morning i there was a busy scene. The Women's j Relief corps, the- Ladies Auxiliary to i the Sons of Veterans and white hairi ed veterans received thousands of ) flowers of ail varieties, school child- ; ren bringing in most of them. These , flowers were loaded into wagons and : were taken to the cemeteries where loving hands strewed them on the ; graves of the soldier dead, j The sight of a column of troops 'clad in service uniforms and march ing along with a swinging stride always rtirs the emotions of those who gaze at the fighting men, but this spectacle" does not occasion a thrill like the sight of grey haired and white haired men, bent with age and from the hardships of camp and battle, as they march along with halting stride under the sun caressed folds of the old flag. Hundreds See Parade. This afternoon hundreds of men, women and children watched the veterans of Sol Meredith post and the younger soldiers of the republic who fought in the Spanish war, as they swung down Main street. It is an annual sight to the people of this city but each year it becomes a more impressive one a sight which grips the heart but silences the tongue, for the "thin blue fighting line" grows smaller year by year. The Spanish war veterans swung down Main street with the precise, rythmic stride of the trained soldier. These veterans are still men in the prime of life who can again go forth for the cause of the republic." But the menwho followed them Grant's legionaries had lost the swing of the marching stride and their progress was slow and halting. At the coliseum this afternoon Memorial day services were observed. There was a large crowd in the building, whica was beautifully decorated with flags and bunting. Judge Jos. (Continued on Page Four.)

FESTIVAL PROVES TO BE A SUCCESS; DEFICITMBTFUL It Is Considered That in Every Way the Musical Event of This Year Was in Advance Of Those Preceding

PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR ARE ALREADY IN MIND. It Is Probable a Better Financial Method Will Be Devised Concerts of Wednesday Afternoon and Night. "This year's May Festival was frreater than that of any previous year and a success artistically and otherwise. The executive board has received commendation on all sides for the excellence of the event. The attendance f-howed the appreciation of the great work accomplished. Great honor Is due to Prof. Will Farhart and the chorus. Prof. Farhart is the man to whom all the praise and credit for ,th success of this year's event should fall." Such was the statement of Henry Gennett, president of the May Festival executive board, to the Palladium this morning. Plans for Next Year. The executive board has received fn much commendation on the success of the event, that immediate preparations will be made for the promulgation of plans for the May Festival next year. It is highly probable that on next Saturday, when all the guarantors of this year's event meets, they will form a stock company or rather will Bet aside a certain amount of money for a form of stock, to be used In case there Is any deficit. If this Is carried through the managers of the festival will not be required to do so much worrying over the financial end of the. affair, as has been the custom since the festival was first inaugurated In this city. It is not thought the Cincinnati May festival, which Is held every two years,, and will be given next year, will interfere with the local event in any way. No Deficit Expected. Father, Mattingly, the treasurer of the executive board Is out of the city and it was Impossible to learn all tho expenses, and therefore the festival management could not judge exactly where the association stands, but it Is thought the receipts will overbalance the expenditures, or at least meet them. Wednesday's Matinee Concert. (Hy Miss Laura Gaston.) The matinee concert of Wednesday offered a diversified program of great interest which began with tho dramatic overture to "The Bartered Bride," written by F. Smetana. thn gifted Bohemian, and culminated In the great symphony pathetique by Tschaikowsky. The only vocal number was given by Miss Spencer, who displayed a beautiful voice and musical temperament in the well worn but haunting strains of SL Saens Aria, "My Heart at thy Sweet Voice." For an encoro one of Elgar's Sea pieces (No.4) was charmingly given. Miss Spencer was a great favorite with the audience, who hopo to hear her again. The other soloist was Mr. Louis Elbel, of South Bend, who displayed a facile technique In the D minor concerto, of Rubinstein. He gave us a brilliant, but hardly satisfying rendition of this great work, which would seem to call for more breadth In the flowing melody of the middle movement and more tone, if less speed, in the closing rondo. Mr. Elbel wag received with unstinted applause but could not bo prevailed upon to play again. Had Strauss' "Sinfonia Domestica" been chosen for performance yesterday afternoon, the interpolation of the crying babies, might have been set down to modern realism. As it was, while we might have been moved to tears by Tschalkowsky's inspired tone poem (and some of us were) the fretful wail of a tiny child hardly gave adequate expression to the emotions engendered. In short It was most disenchanting. Tschaikowsky himself says of the pathetic eymphony, "Without exaggeration I have put my whole scul into it; It Is the best thinff "t"" ever composed " or ever shall compose. It was written In a state of exaltation, which is evident in every movement, almost every phase. He worked upon it with such ardor that the first movement was completed in four days, the balance clearly outlined the title "Pathetic," was not gfven It in foreboding of the composer's untimely death, but at the suggestion of his brother, when Programme" or "Tragic" symphony had been discarded as not altogether expressing Tschaikowsky's idea. The symphony was given a thrilling performance by the orchestra and was listene-d to with rapt attention, except for the unfortunate interruption alluded to. Unusual devices employed are the 3-4 rhythm rn the second movement which nevertheless runs along smoothly and gracefully and a prolonged organ-point on D which, quite takes "the" breath away with its incessant reietition. We recall no other so Jengthly, the celebrated one!
