THOUSANDS NOW ATTENDING FULL FESTIVAL; INDUSTRIAL PARADE GREATEST IN CITY'S HISTORY

THIRTY THOUSAND PEOPLE SEE GREAT

INDUSTRIAL Streets Crowded by People Eager to See the Greatest Event of Its Kind Ever Attempted in Richmond. SPECTACULAR FEATURES ' OF EVERY DESCRIPTION Beautiful Floats and Vehicles .., Representing Industrial and Mercantile Interests Were Shown. CITY OFFICIALS AT HEAD. -MAYOR SCHILLINGER AND BOARD ; OF WORKS CL08ELY FOLLOWED BY FALL FESTIVAL GIRL, HEAD PROCESSION. It took just an hour and ten minutes or the industrial, the largest and most spectacular parade of any kind or j description ever held in Eastern Indiana to pass a given point. It would be impossible to set forth all of the various features of the monster pageant. There were floats and vehicles ; of every imaginable kind, from immense traction engines to pony carts; men marching on foot and men on ; horseback: youg women formig charming group pictures on floats; comic fea- , tures galore, and so on down a long and varied'list. " ' Not only was the parade the largvsi ever iieiu iu luin oci;i.iuu ui iuq state, but the crowd that witnessed it was by far the largest ever assembled in Richmond for years. From the court house nearly to Twentieth and Main streets was congested. Another immense crowd was assembled on North E street and Fort Wayne avenue. In the Main street business district 4 the sidewalks were so crowded as to make it almost Impossible to move along them. Thousands of people stood on the street, crowding from the gutter to the car tracks. The parading column had barely enough room to move. It is a safe estimate that the parade was witnessed by 80.000 people. On Main street every window was occupied by onlookers and many of the , roofs were lined with humanity. Just after the . parade was over and the crowds were scattering the threatening rain clouds broke, but the indications re it will be clear this evening. The parade started from the courtbouse about 1 o'clock, and went east along Main street to North Twentieth street. There it turned and went rorth to North E street, thence west on that street to Fort Wayne avenue, i and thence along that street to the j starting point .The most pleasing floats and exhibits (In the parade were liberally applauded all along the line and there was al1 ways a wild scramble for the various ! articles tossed from floats and wagons. There was at least SOO vehicles in the parade, and between ,1,500 and 2,000 people. City Complimented. ' The Cincinnati business men who re- . viewed the parade after marching about half the distance were amazed at the wonderful display. They could" not compliment it enough, and stated . they did not think it possible for a city the size of Richmond to give such an affair. Heading the procession was a car- . rlage containing the mayor and members of the board of public works. Miss Ruby Brehm on horseback appeared as the "fall festival girl." . She rode a beautiful black horse and wore the yel low dress with lavender sash, lavender gloves and -yellow hat. Miss Brehm made a shinning appearance. Smittie's band headed the delegation of Cincinnati business men, who had come to the city as the guests of the Young Men's Business club. It was not expected that the organization of visiting business men would join in the procession, but they kindly consented to do so, despite their tired feelings after the trip to the city. The organization marched as far east on Main street as Eighteenth street, when it dropped from line. The inmates of the Margaret Smith Home at Main and Seventeenth streets rejoiced at their good fortune, when they saw the Cincinnati delegation stop at the corner. There came a gap in the parade and a lull of about five minutes ensued. To entertain the elderly women during the Intermission the Cincinnati visitors marched to the home and the band serenaded the women greatly to their delight and joy. The Republican drum and bugle corps, a delegation of eight bicycle riders clad in uniform and the Soya'

AWARDS OH STORE DECORATIONS MADE

Owing to Many Beautiful Exhibits, Judges Have a Hard Task. . THREE FIRSTS GRANTED. STARR PIANO COMPANY, J. M. EGGEMEYER COMPANY AND LEE B. NUSBAUM GIVEN THE CHIEF HONORS. DECORATION AWARDS. EXTERIOR. First prize Starr Piano Company. Honorable Mention City Hall, E. J. Humpe, "boston Store. INTERIOR. J. M. Eggemeyer Company. Honorable Mention Mashmeyer's, Adams'. UNIQUE WINDOW. First Prize L. B. Nusbaum. Honorable Mention Mashmeyer's. The committees that had charge of judging the merits of the various decorations about the city, handed their reports to Secretary Harris, of the fall festival executive committee lhl morning. The committee found many difficulties besetting its path but managed to surmount all and decided in what they believe a thoroughly impartial manner. Public sentiment is believed to be with the winners. Immediately upon receiving notification from Secretary Harris that his place had been awarded first prize, which5' Is"" $35, manager Curtis of the StarrPianO" Company announced the prize money would be donated to the Wernle Orphans' Home. The company was put to an expense that would surpass the amount of the prize fund, but disregarding this fact the prize will be bestowed upon the home. The committee on exterior decorations, Mrs. Paul Cpmstock and Miss May Shiveley, pondered between the city building and the piano company's store room, but finally decided in favor of the latter. For the beauty of the idea, no decoration in the city surpasses that of the Starr, but as an expression of the fall festival sentiment the city hall comes nearer to the ideal, it is declared by some people. There was litle hesitation upon the part of the committee that awarded the prize for the best interior decoration. The John M. Eggemeyer store made a play for this prize and won out easily. The committee making the decision was composed of Mrs. Benjamin Johnson, Mrs. Charles Mar-j vel and Miss Sarah Hill. There were many window displays that merited consideration and this committee had its troubles. Judgment was rendered from the standpoint of detail and the committee decided that in this as well as other respects the L. B. Nusbaum windows surpassed all others. The windows were designed and executed by Charles Igelman. The committee was composed of Mrs. Ditlley Elmer and Miss Marie Campbell. Description of the more attractively decorated stores follows: J. M. Eggemeyer Nothing very conspicuous has been done to beautify the exterior of the Eggemeyer building, but the interior of the store room presents a bower of beauty. It is an agricultural bower that has been pre pared and corn stalks have been used to an artistic advantage. Interwoven with the streamers of yellow and white tissue paper are stalks of corn. Along the sides of the store room the stalks have been placed in a perpendicular position bearing the golden ears the shucks of which have "been turned back. Pampas grass also is used in the scheme for decoration. Ferns and foliage plants are used in the decoration, also. McConaha Company; The front of the Gaar building on West Main street, the lower floor of which is oc cupied by the McConaha company presents a neat appearance in its array of bunting and butterfly fans of yellow and white. The South Fourth street building has been decorated in an artistic manner, also. Court House Bunting and flags have been used to good advantage in the decoration of . the sourt house. This structure is too immense for effective decoration with-the limited amount of material that was ' provided. Kielhorn and Hoosier Stores These two establishments have been neatly adorned with yellow and white bunting and, tissue paper. The millinery, store presents a particularly natty appearance. ' Adams Drug Store The Interior of this store is a sight for comparison. It has been beautified by an elaborate decorative scheme in which .; tis-

As soon as trie 1,V. members of the Cincinnati delegation had formed in column of twos the combined organizations headed by Mayor Schillinger and Smittie's band of Cincinnati moved out of the station and west on North E Mreet.

The masker refused to give his name to the judge last night and they were unable to state his identity this afternoon. "By the nine gods of Burma, this reminds me of 'Frisco on New Years eve," exclaimed a sturdy looking soldier of the Tenth infantry as his admiring eye roved about the laughing, shoving, frolicing mob of revelers who fairly choked Main street from the court house to the Westcott hotel. Never has such a sight been seen in Richmond as was witnessed last night. The lid was pried completely off, but notwithstanding that unusual occurance, the crowds were orderly. Everybody was in a good humor and plunged madly into the gayety. Here was a giri' with a fed domino wlMlv nun. "hv inwwiih ' r tin ,,a51 hat The crowd iaughing and 1cstHns, made wav for the chase.

The police made eaiiant effort to Rton confetti throwing. but there was a regular deluge of it all evening. Crowds swept up and down the streets, laughing, singing and shouting. Color to the wild, picturesque scene was lent by the beautiful decorations and myriads of electric lights. On the roof cf a building at Ninth and Main streets was a large search light, its silvery flash continually playing up and down the street, bathing the joy-mad throngs with its intense, brilliant illumination. St. Joseph's Benevolent Society, ! . . - ,, , . . K. of P. and hundreds of "unattached" marchers added zest to the occasion.

Mr. Clawson called attention to the men who are this year manag ing the campaign of the Nebraskan, how practically without exception they are under corporate ; influence. particularly that of the Standard Oil company. Even Mr. Bryan himself is not free from monopolistic taint. he said. A few years ago the Harrlman roads in Nebraska combined in that state to defeat some of the pro visions of the anti trust laws and em ployed Mr. Bryan as their attorney. Greenfield Theodore A.

Ian foreign office boldly announced today that neither the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina or the proclamation of Bulgarian independence was ; a matter of concern to the other powers and that the annexation was now' accomplished. --- - BULLETIN.' Constantinople, Oct. 7. The coun cil of 'ministers has decided to protest against the annexation of Bosnia and i Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary. The. protest was made through the Aus trian Embassy. Guns and ammunl- , tion are being sent to Adriaaoyle an4.j Salonika. . Austria Forces a Crisis. London. ' Oct. 7. The culminating Btep in the Austro-Bulgarian program for the aggrandizement of themselves at the expense of the status establish, ed by the treaty of Berlin was taken last night. Emperor Francis Joseph formally proclaimed the practical annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the dual monarchy. The present situation Is as follows: ; Turkey calls upon the powers to preserve to it what they guaranteed by the Berlin treaty. -. Austria and Bulgaria -strongly declare their determination to keep what they have taken. Scrvia is protesting belligerently against being hemmed In more strongly between two unpopular neighbors and against having the Servians In Bosnia, absorbed Into the Austro-Hungarian nationality. The other powers concerned in the Berlin treaty are discussing the holding of an International conference to consider this most delicate of problems. '; Turkey's Restraint Is Lauded. Turkey's unexpected policy of restraint minimizes the possibilities of war, which now is considered out of the question. The English papers finite in praising Turkey's moderation and In denouncing Austria. The Standafd In a typical utterance says: ' "We are sorry for the aged emperor. We regret that so late in his long and honorable career he has chosen to sully 1 his name with a deed which will go down In history alongside of the partition of Poland." Several of the London newspapers question whether or . not Emperor , Francis Joseph Is acting against his will. Little Hope on Conference. A conference of the powers fs ex- , pected to be held within two or three months, but no one imagines that It will undo this week's work. Austria declines even to discurs annexation, 1 and the most that is expected is some arrangement that will save Turkey's pride. Before the powers agree to enter up on a conference they probably will be obliged to define Its scope, which will be a hard task. British statesmen sugest that compensation be made to Turkey and that guarantees be given against further disturbance of the status quo. Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secre tary, will address his constituents this evening, when It is expected he will explain the attitude of the British government. Few believe it is possible to draft any binding document In place of the Ber lin treaty until the arbitrament to arms has decided what is the dominant political power In eastern Europe. Proclamation by Austria. Vienna, Oct. 7. Emperor Francis Joseph last night issued a( royal proclamation formally annexing the districts of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The proclamation was as follows: When, a generation ago, our troops crossed the boundaries of your countries yon were assured they came not as enemies, but as friends, with a firm resolution to put a stop to the Ills from which your fatherland for . so many years so severely suffered. This promise was given in a solemn moment and was righteously kept. It was the steadfast endeavor of our government In peaceful observance f the law and by vigorous efforts to lead the land to a happier future. "To our great pleasure we can say that the seed which was then scattered in the furrow of plowed soil has come up richly.
