The New Office Hare Been Decorated In Beautiful Style Some Strik ing: Features. Next Monday the savings department of the Indiana Trust Company, which has outgrown the quarters fo lonjr. occupied by It, will be found Installed and in full opera tion In a spacious new room on the ground floor of the company's building. Just cast of the main entrance. The office that Is to be u?ed henceforth as a savings department will scacely be recognized as having a few months ago been four storerooms, so completely trans forming has been the work of alteration and decoration that has ben in progress almost continuously since last August. When the tenants vacated these rooms a force of workmen at once proceeded to tear cut partition walls and floors, throwing the four apartments Into one of great size and replacing the wooden flooring with elegant fireproof Italian tile marble, white In color. The effect of vastness In the new room has been admirably toned by placing at appro priate Intervals tolld pillars of cast iron which rise imposingly from the basement to the second floor. Among the substantial improvements. In addition to those noted, are steam heating and plumbing systems o? latest type, the installation of a complete scheme of electric lighting and a complete telephone exchange, connecting all parts of the company's oßlees with each other as well as with the outfide world. The decorations of pillars, walls and cell ing are of varying yet harmonizing shades and colors and of delightfully simple though highly artistic design. The pillar vases are hidden from view in a heavy wainscoting of Alps green marble, which ri?es to a height of seven feet from the Italian marble floor. The parts above, reaching to the ceiling, are painted a deli cate ivory. The wall space between the dado at the base and the deep border just beneath the ceiling Is treated in a rich tone of Indian yellow. The deeply paneled ceil ing Is a light Indian yellow on a substan tial base of decorator's muslin. The cor nices, painted a plain ivory, form with the Indian yellow ceiling as effective a contrast as that afforded by the opposite shades of f)illars, walls and Alpine marble wainscot ng. The lower wall surface, to the height of the screen. Is a dado painted a shade of green to harmonize with the Verde antique marble used in the bank counters. A STRIKING FEATURE. Perhaps the most striking and effective bit of art in the entire apartment is the splendid border of frieze running along three entire walls Just below the cornices. This border Is of impressive width and ex ceedingly chaste and artistic in its drawing and painting. At proper intervals In its course around the great room the back ground i broken with cartouches portraying with striking color effect a variety of beau tiful and interesting emblems. These car touches number sixteen, four being alter nating "Industry." "Commerce" and "I. T. C. Co." (Indiana Trust Company) emblems, and the remaining twelve the familiar Sijsns of the Zodiac," symbolizing the months of the calendar year. Such wood as is necessary to be used in fixtures and furnishings is deep-red San Domingo mahogany. Of this elegant ma terial are the desks and oflice chairs in the apartments for the officers and th room reserved or women customers. The ma hogany also appears In exposed surfaces of the bank fixtures facing the president's room and ladies' department. The portions of the counters and parti tions that look into the lobby are con structed of a copper bronze top and Alps green marble base. Wicket openings through which business Is transp.cted are set in copper bronze grill work and are surmounted by signs, the raised lotters of which are natural copper tint, projecting from a base of dark oxid ized copper. The two tiers of counter railings behind which stand the force of bank assistants are arranged so as to form with the rail ings of t,he president's and treasurer's of fices a rectangle, the offices of the chiefs placed at the end so as to command both rows of workers simultaneously. HANDSOME MAHOfSAN'Y DOORS. Entrance to the banking room Is through handsome mahogany doors and through a massive wrought iron gateway similar in flze and design to the one which has fo long been a striking feature of the entry to the old general offices of the company. A short distance within the room is an artistic Information booth, having for an Imposing background one of the great pil lars that are such effective ornaments as well as supports to the apartment. IJeyond this is a handsome circular writing dek of red mahogany, inclosing enothcr pillar The women's room, placed with rare dis cretion at a point directly commanding the entrance, is decorated and furnished in as perfect elegance as any other portion of the banking room. Portieres of linen vel our shut off its interior from the spacious lobby. The dainty apartment is provided with every ornamentation and convenience calculated to attract and please feminine taste and love of comfort. Its appoint ments Include a telephone booth and toilet accessories. The president and treasurer of the com pany will occupy office in th new room The offices heretofore occupied by the sav ings department will henceforth be used exclusively by the trunt department and will be in charge of the secretary of the company. The real estate and safety vault Apartments will continue in their present handsome quarters. New Pianos 165 and up at Wulschner'a. WARM DAYS HAVE COME ALEli:Ill' PEOPLE AHE MOl'PI.XCi THEIR DRIPPING PROWS. The Love for Wild Flower Will Soon Cause EnthunlnstM to Flock to the Parks. PREPARATIONS AT FAIRVIEW IT WILL IJE FORMALLY OPE.ED OX SIND AY, 31 A V IS. The Street-Hull rny Company Prom ises Some Attractive Features Doya Club Iloathome. Indianapolis is having the kind of weather that brings out summer clothing, light in color and fabric, weeks ahead of time, forces people to lay aside winter under wear and causes men In offices to go about unblushingly In their shirt sleeves. In other words, summer is here In dead earnest. It may be only temporarily, but the results are the same as if winter had packed hi3 grip and boarded a train for the north to enjoy his customary mid year vacation. During the middle of the day yesterday fat people and thin mopped their foreheads and faces without provok ing the slightest notice. The handkerchief habit was as prevalent as if the time had been mid-August, when asphalt yields to the tread and dogs go mad, Instead of May 1. when ordinarily spring overcoats leave the clothing stores with a rush like the swirl of tinted leaves in an autumn wind. The reign of the abbreviated topcoat has been of unwonted brevity, and now these garments lie in cedar chests in attics of private homes and pawnbrokers' shops, calmly awaiting the advent of breezy fall. Best of all, this 13 the season of wild flowers. These unapproachable gems that deck the bosom of Nature do nut make thfelr appearance at the same time every spring, but by some mysterious kind of telephathy their coming is made known with little delay to those who love them particularly women and children. A shaded hillside' or cool and darkened wooded dell may be forsaken of humanity one day and on the very next literally thronged with eager seekers after Nature's treasures. FLOWERS AT FAIR VIEW. Local lovers of wild flowers unerringly select Fairview Park as the Mecca of tht!r hopes unerringly, because it never disap points them. This spring there Is a won derful profusion of the simple, shy blos soms that are so restful and satisfying to the' eye after it has all winter long been satiated with the gorgeous, showy products of artificial cultivation. The favorite flower of spring is the timid violet. The most beautiful, it is oddly enough the most retiring. There is a pic turesque nook out at Falrview known ar "The Glen," where there is a veritable city of violets, nodding ceaselessly to each other In the most knowing fashion and guiding human footsteps to their very midst by the subtle, delicious perfume they diffuse through the air for many feet around. "I never saw so many violets as there are in the Glen at Fairview at this time." declared W. F. Milholland, secretary and treasurer of the street-railroad company, which owns Fairview Park. Some years, ago Mr. Milholland became interested In this particular park, and by a natural pro cess the interest grew until now he looks upon the place as his especial charge. Each spring he superintends the various details of beautifying the park and preparing it for the enjoyment of the throngs that visit it daily and nightly throughout the long summer season. Just now he is up to his eyes in the work of arranging an amuse ment schedule for Falrview that shall eclipse all previous efforts. Ills desk Is piled high with proposals from men who control all kinds of summer resort amuse ment features, but the work of making choice is exceedingly slow, for "none but the best is good enough for Fairview" is his motto. Around the street-railroad of tices this park is known as "Milholland s Pet," and the treasurer's associates in the company would as soon think of directing lire Chief Coots in the proper handling of a conflagration as to venture to Mr. Hil hol'and a suggestion on what to do to add to the attractiveness of Fairview Park. OPENING OF THE PARK. The opening day for Fairiew Park has been practically decided upon as Sunday. May IS. I3y that time the entire park will be as neat and clean and beautiful as if it had not lain for many months a helpless victim to destructive neglect and winter's ravages. The splendid flower gardens will not be brilliant with varicolored bloom by that time, for their planting will I ..ve been finished only two days before. "We used to plant flower seeds pretty early in the spring." said Mr. Milholland. "but our ex perience was disastrous. We nearly al ways had to put out new stock. Now we never plant until after the 15th of May. This spring we will distribute the seeds on the morning of the 16th, even if it is Friday." The little folks will rejoice to know that the pony track is to be a more conspicuous feature this summer than ever before. The track has been thoroughly gone over and is in ideal condition. As for the ponies, they are In the best possible form. They have been well cared for during the past winter and those who have seen them re cently say that a finer lot of lilliputian horses has never come to Indianapolis. The patient, long-eared, musical "donks" are to be at Falrview this season, too. The whole aggregation Is on Its way to Indianapolis now and may get here in time for inspec tion by the juveniles Sunday. At both Falrview and Rroad Ripple parks the water privileges that do so much to make Indianapolis famous as a summer re sort are to be developed to the fullest ad vantage the present season. John Felgan, who had the boating concession at Garfield Park for two reasons some time ago. is in charge of the boathouso at Falrview for the season about to open. Mr. Feigan has had all his boats overhauled and put into first class shape and is prepared to please all comers. A feature of which Mr. Milholland thinks as much, perhaps, as he does of any other of Falrview's numerous attractions, is the up-to-date restaurant and dining pavilion for which he has arranged this season. This will bf in charge of Nelson J. Hyde and John June, two of the city's most noted restaurant and hotel men. It is asserted that as toothsome a porterhouse steak or cut of fish can be obtained at the Falrview pavilion as could be had in any place in the heart of Indianapolis. The pleasing custom of local people breakfasting away from the heat and bustle of the city will be given fresh impetus when it is generally known that parties can be served with the bet of meals at Falrview on brief notice any time during the day or evening. The merry-go-round, bright and shining, discoursing the latest musical airs, has been in full operation for several weeks past. Harney, the old familiar of the shooting gallery, is again on deck this season, and the bowling alley will be ready by the formal openins day. SPECIAL FEAT FEES. The programme of special amusement features will not be made up for some time yet, as these attractions are not usually put on before the middle of June, on ac count of tho uncertainty of the weather prior to that time. Hut the band uoncerts that made Fairview famous will be given from the opening day to the end of the season, and the band, of course, is to be the Indianapolis Military, directed by Harry Klaussman. When Jules Levy, the cosmo politan cornet virtuoso, played at Fairview two wfvks last summer he observed Klaussman's methods of conducting closely and declared that Indianapolis has In Mr. Klaussman one of the best band leaders lie eve" knew. One of the prettiest parts of Falrview last season was the stretch of fertile bot tom land across the canal, which presented a picture for the eye of an artist when it was covered with waving stalks of corn. This spring a bit of pleasing variety has leen introduced by planting oats instead of corn. The green shoots are already a considerable distance above ground, and in a few weeks the entire expanse of lowland will be a literal sea, of undulating verdure, as charming a bit of natural scenery as one could wish to view. As much thought and attention is being devoted to Broad Ripple Park as to Fair view. Elbert R Peck, general manager of the Rroad Ripple Traction Company, is equally as busy as Mr. Milholland these days, devising ways and means to bring throng3 of pleasure seeker the coming summer to the park of which he is mana ger. Nature has been so lavish in her gifts to Proad Ripple that little is left for the ingenuity of Mr. Feck or anybody else to improve upon. A more delightful or picturesque body of water than the stretch of White river at Broad Ripple, with its inviting green banks and its weird fringes of weeping willow, can scarcely be found anywhere. Naturally. Rroad Ripple Park is the center of attraction to residents of Indianapolis and vicinity who are inclined to aquatic sports and amusements. Each season the number of launches of all de scriptions that glide swiftly and gracefully past the fascinating scenery on both sides of White river from the park landing to points several miles up stream has in creased steadily until now there are eighteen or twenty of these pretty little pleasure vessels. These, aided by the big sttanur Sunshine and the rapid-running Isabella, will give to White river at Rroad Ripple the coming season quite as lively an appearance as that presented by more pretentious watering places in the East. BOYS' CL.UIJ HOUSEIJOAT. The local Boys' Club has long looked with envy upon the seductive houseboat owned and enjoyed by the Aquatic Club at Rroad Ripple Park, but the members have stood the maddening sight as long as they could. This summer they arc going: to have a real houseboat of their own, and it would require the pen of a Stockton to de scribe in advance the pleasure these boys will enjoy through the long summer months that lie in front of them. George Bryce has :-et the pace for the older seeker after enjoyment in aquatic pursuits by building and equipping .an elegant boat house for his electric launch. It is likely that other owners of pleasure craft will emulate the example thus et until the landing at the Ripple Park will be falriy studded with little dwellings for launches. Manager Peck, not to be outdone by his rival, Mr. Milholland. has determined to replace the orchestra at Rroad Ripple the coming season with a full band. The inno vation will be hailed with delight by those who revel in riding upon the river, for they can indulge their favorite pastime to the full without missing the strains of melody that take on an added wltohery when they tloat to the ear across a stretch of quiet water. Sunday, May 11. Is to be opening day at Rroad Ripple, but the pleasant evenings of the past few days have started a good sized advance tide of jaded city folk with out waiting for a formal invitation. It is said that there are almost enough launch owners and their families and friends to furnish a paying street-car traffic to Rroad Ripple Park during the summer, to say nothing of the multitude that is not so fortunately situated. There is amusement provided for all, however, and as long as the weather permits the place is constantly thronged. DR.J.A.TARKINGTONDEAD DEATH OCCtnnED AT HIS FAMILY'S 1I03IESTEAD NEAR GltEEXSDURG. For n Long; Time He Was One of the Prominent Physicians of Wash ington, D. C Iii Career. Dr. Joseph Asbury Tarkington, formerly of Washington, V. C, died at 8:40 o'clock last night at the Tarkington homestead near Greensburg. Death occurred after an Illness of two years, but it was not until a few weeks ago that Dr. Tarkington was forced to take to hi3 bed. He was well known among the physicians of Washington, where the greater part of his professional life was lived. He was a member of the American Medical Associa tion and also a member of the District of Columbia Medical Association. He was born Nov. 23, 1S37, in Switzerland county. While he was a boy his father, the late Rev. Joseph Tarkington, moved with his family from Switzerland county to Decatur county. Here a farm was cleared out of the forest in the vicinity of Greensburg, and until the family became separated in later years, the children leaving the home stead to make homes for themselves, Dr. Tarkington, with his brothers and sisters, lived with their parents. At the outbreak of the civil war Dr. Tarkington enlisted in the Seventh Indiana Regiment and served throughout the re bellion. At the close of the war he made his way to Washington, D. C, where he entered the Interior Department. At the same time he took up the study of medi cine, later entering college and continuing his studies until he was graduated both from the Georgetown and the Columbian Medical institutes. Dr. Tarkington was a member of the Washington Post of the G. A. R. Jan. 14, Ss, he was married to Miss Elva Meredith Yeatman, of Washington. Mrs. Tarkington died Jan. 8, lSfl, leaving two children Arthur Joseph Tarkington and Elvin Yeatman Tarkington. These two children, aged sixteen and eleven, survive the father. Dr. Tarkington after the death of his wife continued the practice of medi cine in Washington, but two years ago the inroads made upon his health by his illness compelled him to abandon the active prac tice of his profession, and he left Wash ington and came to live on the Tarkington homestead farm. The sisters surviving Dr. Tarkington are Mrs. Martha Stewart of this city and Mrs. John H. Alexander of Greensburg. The brothers are John S. Tarkington and W. S. R. Tarkington. of this city, and Simpson Tarkington, of Cali fornia. The burial will be at Greensburg, but no announcement has been made as to when the funeral will occur. Mrs. XV. II. AVishnrd's Funeral. The funeral of Mrs. W. II. Wishard took place yesterday afternoon from her resi dence, North Capitol avenue. The Rev. R. V. Hunter, assisted by the Rev. S. C. Dickey, conducted the service. A large number of friends of Mrs. Wishard at tended the funeral. The burial was at Crown Hill. BOY'S HEALTH BETTER. Roy Mramnra, Grinnel Coli Stu dent, Goes Home with Iii Father. Roy McNamara, the eighteen-year-old boy who ran away from Grinnell College, in Iowa, and who has been employed in the car shops of the Rig Four Railroad Com pany in P.rightwood as a laborer, returned home yesterday with his father. The boy at first refused to go home. The two spent the night together, and yesterday the younger McNamara decided to take hi? father's advice and return home. Roy Mc Namara Improved in health during his short stay here. His outdoor work relieved his mind from the burden with which it had been taxed at home by his studies. WIFE MURDEKER'S IDENTITY. ;irlnr Pnyne on Trial for the Crime at Everett, Wnsh. A dispatch from Everett, Wash., sets at rest all doubt as to the Identity of the man known as Joe Malvern, who is on trial for wife murder. It is said he is Glessing Payne, son of the late Dan Payne, who was a well-known Indianapolis journalist. Residence Ilnnaht for $0.0. Mr. J. Philip Ewald, of Louisville, Ky.. yesterday purchased through the A. Metz ger agency from Mr. Albert W. Coffin, of Coffin, Greentreet & Fletcher, his resi dence.

At S:30 o'CIock Last Micht at the City Hospital the Rrnve Fellow Breathed His Last. HIS INJURY WAS BROKEN NECK THE ACCII1EXT THAT CAUSED IT OCCURRED OX JAN. 4. He Wan Recently ürnught to This City front His Home In Anderson A Pathetic Case. Skillful surgery and the best of care could not save Thomas Degolyer, who, de spite a broken neck, had fought off death since Jan. 4. Degolyer died last night at 8:30 o'clock In the City Hospital from the exhaustion and weakness attendant upon the trying operation to which he cheerfully subjected himself yesterday morning. From that operation much had been hoped, not only by Degolyer himself, but by Dr. Albert E. Sterne and Superintendent Jobes, of the hospital, who performed it. The unusual operation of attempting to set a broken neck was undertaken by Drs. Sterne and Jobes in the clinic room of the hospital yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. Degolyer's unfortunate case and the inter est attaching to a surgical operation of such rarity attracted a number of physi cians and newspaper men. It was believed that there was a good chance of saving the man's life and of removing the paralysis which had crept over his limbs and had affected the circulation of his blood. Degolyer was taken into the clinic room and placed on the operating table. He was In good spirits and chatted with the nurses and physicians, lie realized that he was taking a desperate chance in submitting to the operation, but he believed that it was his one hope of ever regaining the use of his limbs or of saving life itself. He was laid on the table face downward and an anesthetic was administered. Carefully kneading the flesh and muscles at the back of the neck, Dr. Sterne found that the sixth cervical vertebrae had slipped forward of the seventh cervical and was pressing hard against organs of circulation. Tartly by removing a portion of the sixth cervical and partly by tirm pressure Dr. Sterne lessened the tension on the blood vessels and nerves of the neck. After the patient had been carried to his ward the surgeons stated that they had hopes of his recovery. Dr. Sterne believed that the circulation would be restored in Degolyer's body and that if he could stand the shock he would recover. Drs. Neale and Hunt, of Anderson, who treated Degolyer and who brought him to the hos pital from Anderson where he was in jured, also expressed the belief that the operation might be succeesful. During the day the patient suffered great ly from the shock of the operation and it was seen that he was gradually sinking. By evening he had grown very weak and at 8:30 o'clock he died. The accident that caused his injury was no less unusual than the injury itself. On Jan. 4 last in Anderson, where he worked as a drayman, a wheel of his dray became fast in someway and he stooped under the wheel to find the cause of the trouble. His horse took fright at something and Jumped forward. Degolyer could not get out from under the wheel and was thrown in a somersault, with his coat caught round his head and neck, twisting them as he turned. The turn displaced the vertebra and caused what is commonly known as a broken neck. NEW RATE TOR AGENTS. The Fire Insurance Underirrltem Are Xow Discussing; It.

The proposed change is strongly favored, as It will correct a num ber of existing evils." A TEAM'S LONG DASH. It Ran from L.. E. fc AV. Freight Ilonse to Indiana-Avenne Canal Bridge. A team of horses attached to a light spring wagon belonging to Frank Mann ran away yesterday afternoon from the L.. E. & W". freight house, at Alabama and Maryland streets, and did not stop until they reached the bridge over the canal at Indiana avenue. The horses crossed Wash ington street while a great crowd was passing, but no one was injured. They kept on their way out Alabama street to Ver mont street, where they turned west. They continued until they came to Indiana ave nuo. where they started west again.

McGettlKan No Longer Officer of Incliannpolin Southern. It has been announced that John E. Mc- Gettigan has severed his connection with the Indianapolis Southern Railroad Com pany, and in confirming the announcement Mr. D. M. Parry, president of the com pany, said yesterday: "There is no truth in the story that Mr. McGettigan was 'frozen out of the com pany in any sense of the word. The fact of the matter is that Mr. McGettigan had subscribed for more stock than he could pay for, and. being unable to produce the cash when the time came, he necessarily agreed to dispose of his interests to those who could put up the money. It is true that the directors of the company believed that its best Interests would be served by Mr. McGettigan's withdrawal." Mr. McGettigan, who was a director and vice president of the Southern Company, subscribed to five shares for himself and to 4.700 shares as an agent of other persons. The par value of his holdings was J47,5. According to Mr. Parry the transaction by which Mr. McGettigan disposed of his stock took place about the middle of February, and since that time he has net been con nected In any way with the company. The purchasers of his holdings are Henry Rauh, W . E. Stevenson, Courtland Van Camp and D. M. Parry. These men. It is said.
