TO HOLD FESTIVAL COMMITTEE ASSERTS Meeting To Be Held Tomorrow When Reports Will Be Made.

TALKS TO MERCHANTS Few Are Opposed To Holding Affair This Fall Many In Favor. At a meeting of the advertising committee of the Richmond Commercial Club to be held tomorrow noon at the Y. M. C. A. a full report of the work of the committee toward the proposed fall festival to be held next fall will be reviewed. The committee recently was asked to make a report relative to the sentiment among the business men toward the project. According to leaders of the committee who have been actively engaged interviewing the merchants for the past three days, the sentiment is generally favorable toward the project though there are several merchants between Ninth and Tenth street on Main have been seen and have unanimously indorsed the project and stated their willingness to finance their share of the enterprise. In another square the merchants opposed the festival believing it would not directly benefit them and failed to see how a project of this kind would boost the city. Seven merchants in the one square are opposed to the holding of the festival, it is said. The number of merchants who approved is so much larger than those who oppose it that it will be held it Is said, and announcements will be made concerning it after the report is made tomorrow. That any merchants should oppose a proposition of jthis kind was a great surprise to the members of the advertising committee. "There is no doubt that the merchants who are not favorable toward it at this time will finally give their support to the project when the time comes" said Will Romey, chairman of the committee. The festival is to last three days according to the present plans. One day will probably be designated "Aeroplane Day," another "Industrial Day" and the third "Agricultural Day." On the third day it is planned to have a domestic science display. Chas. W. Jordan a member of the school board, i stated that the high school could be used for what ever the promoters of the project desired. It is probable that an are exhibit will be held during the festival. There are many valuable collections of paintings which can be secured for the festival and this feature will be an important one. 0h Agricultural day it is planned that the, rural districts of Wayne county and other parts of the state will be represented. Stock will be exhibited. 4 linen display will be of especial interest for women, it is planned. The fact that $5,000 is the estimated cost of promoting the festival rather than $8,000 as was the estimated cost of the latest festival assures success financially. A member of the committee says. A whirlwind campaign to last not more than one half a day will raise the necessary funds, he asserts. The committee in charge will only make such. expenditures as will be absolutely necessary and no more money will be spent than is in the hands of the festival committee. COURT RULES FOR THE PROGRESSIVES Party Given Place on Indianapolis Board of Election Commissioners. (National Nws Association) INDIANAPOLIS, April 18 That the Progressive party is entitled to representation on the Indianapolis city board of primary election commissioners is the effect of a decision today by Judge Remster of the circuit court. The demurrer of the Progressive party to the answer of the Republican party to the suit brought by Klias Salsbury, Progressive, to compel E. A. Ramsey, Republican, as city clerk to appoint him to a place on the city board of primary election commissioners was sustained by the court. The Progressives brought suit after Ramsay had refused to appoint Salsbury who had been nominated to be the Progressive member of the board by the chairman of the central committee of the Progressive party. Ramsay appointed S. A. Haas, Republican, instead of Salsbury on the ground that the Progressive party was not entitled to representation on the board because it did not become a municiual political party until after the general elections of 1912. The Progressives set out that their party cast the second largest number of votes at the last general election and was entitled to representation. HELD CONSTITUTIONAL. INDIANAPOLIS, April IS. The supreme court held today that the corrupt practice act of 1911 is constitutional and that it contains no exceptions but every one is made guilty of corrupt practices who gives anything to any person for the purpose of influencing the vote of any one at on election or primary election. The court affirmed the indictment against John M. Paris, prosecuting attorney of Eloyd county for giving Andrew Buckingham $2 for working for the nomination of Paris to the office of prosecuting attorney at the Democratic primary election in the tprlng of 1912. .

HVEHTORY SYSTEM FOR COUNTY FARM

1 O Officials Will Be Able Keep in Touch With the Financial Condition. County Auditor L. S. Bowman has completed an inventory system to be used by the county commissioners and the superintendent of the poor farm. The commissioners and the superintendent will make a quarterly repart in the form of an invoice and the financial condition of the institution can be estimated at any time. The commissioners will make an invoice every three months and the superintendent will keep a tabulated invoice of the increase and decrease of all products during the quarter. At the close of each quarter, the original inventory of the commissioners, including the inventory of the superintendent becomes the basis for ! the new inventory. The last report j was filed March 31, which showed an i invoice of the property to be $1,090.45. During past years it is said the records have been irregularly kept and the new sye.cm together with the new set of rules issued by the auditor January 1 will do much to keep county officials in closer touch with the institution. The new accounting system instituted by Mr. Bowman will also do much to help the officials keep in touch with the financial condition of the farm. Recently there has been considerable agitation in regard to the management of the farm. The expenditures have so far exceeded the receipts that-an investigation as to the conditions of the farm was made. Supt. Brumfield was advised to resign. It is probable that he will be retained until his term expires which is within a few months. PRODUCE. (Corrected daily by Ed. Cooper, phone 2577.)

RECEIVED LETTER ON

In a letter received today by City 0 ; Clerk Bescher. a representative of the

1 ! Southern Insurance company of Plained why he was in Richmond to 0 i Poplarville, Mississippi, states thatth satisfaction of the major but 0 ; lumber dealers of Mississippi are ' denied charges that he asked for any

0 ' looking for cattle to graze 1.500.000 0 , acres of forest and rolling pasture t land in the southern part of Mlsslss ippi. He asks that the farmers in the community be asked to answer tne u ; latter as it win cost notning to nion 0!the cattle to graze on the land for an (indefinite period. The purpose, he ! says in asking this, is to keep the j grass short on the land and keep it in condition for cattle raising. There are many cold springs on the place, the letter says, and the conditions are excellent for raising cattle. According to Clerk Bescher, this affords an excellent opportunity for local farm - ers to enter the cattle raising business in the south without purchasing land.
