THE WAYCROSS HERALD, SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1893. AFTER THOMAS’ SCALP. The Committee on World’s Fair Music Want Him Ousted. GATES OPEN NEXT SUNDAY. Upon an Opinion Kentlered h; llm Roard'i Attorney, Word’* Fair torn ml*, •loner* I>erMo to Open tha Gate* Sunday, May 21. CniCAOO, May 10—The report of the committee on tnnsic recommending the removal of Theodore Thomas from the position of musical director of the fair, was taken up for consideration by the national commission. General J. \V. THE MIDWAY PI.AISANCE PHOTOGRAPHER. St. Clair of West Virginia, spoke against tho adoption of the report. He said if Mr. Thomas was removed it would re- sult in wrecking tho music department mnl the loss to the exposition of tho greatest orchestra on earth. Mr. Lannon of Utah, replied to Gen eral St. Clair. Ho asked the commis sion to act npon the report quickly, and instruct tho director general to remove Mr. Thomas. Mr. Lannon took no stock in the assertion that Mr. Thomas’ dis missal would wreck the music depart ment. Ho thought another good di rector and orchestra could be secured at once. Mr. Glondenning of Arkansas also spoke in favor of the adoption of the report. Commissioner Ryan of North Dakota denounced the attempt to deprive the commission of the authority vested in it by congress, and paid his respects to Theodore Thomas in the following lau- man is corrupt, and he has taken this action through corrupt mo tives. I an* m favor of wiping him ont of this exposition, and tho national commission has the power to do it. If the commission refuses to assert its su preme authority in this music matter it countenances bribery and corruption.” A motion to lay the report tempora rily on the table was voted down, but Chairman Lannan fearing the defeat of his report rose to ask that it lie on the table until there was an assurance of a qnorum. His motion was unanimously concurred in. The sentiment of the commission seemed to be in favor of deferring judg ment against Theodore Thomas until articles of peace could be drawn up by the council of administration. Com miaul oner* Want a Rest. The commissioners talked tediously and differed widely as to the propriety of taking a recess until May 31 on ac count of the absence of so many mem bers and the desire of somo present to return to their homes for a conple of weeks. Commissioner Bnrton, of Kansas, offered a resolution which was adopted by a majority vote, although there was no quorum, hat when the commission adjourns it take a recess until noon May 31; that in the meantime all members who can remain do so to attend the commission work, and that the commis sioners who have not attended this ses sion of the commission be urgently re quested to meet May 81 with that body. To Open Sunday. The local directors of the World’s Fair have determined to open the expo sition on Sundays, beginning May 21. The vote stood 27 to 7 in favor of Sun day opening. Under the resolution Mi l- way Plaisance will also be thrown o\h*u. Mr. Edwin Walker, attorney for the board, submitted an opinion on the question, and on the strength of this opinion the board acted. No provision was made for the return of any part of the |2,500,000 given to the fair under that act of congress; bnt there was a vague, tentative talk of refunding the money somehow, some time—in the uncertain future. Briefly, Mr. Walker decided that the exposition was one thing and the expo sition grounds a distinct and separ; t* thing. On this the local directory stands accordingly. Unless the national commission acts vigorously to prevent it Jackson park will be open on every Sunday, the exposition buildings re maining closed. The new Memorial Art institute on lake front is now open to the public. Great crowds of people visited the im posing structure. The appointment of the Earl of Aber deen as governor general of Canada will not interfere with his work in connec tion with the World’s Fair. The earl and countees will address a large meet ing in Chicago on May 16 and will sail for Europe on the 18th, assuming their duties in Canada in August. Meanwhile the chief justice of Canada will perform the dntiee of governor general. N«w*p«p«r Men Invited. ’ Posters printed in five different lan guages will be scattered about Jackson park in a few days, inviting the news paper men of the world to visit the press headquarters in The Times build ing. A liberal amount of space has been set aside for newspaper men, and a large salt of rooms has been splendid ly famished for their convenience. Surprises are always in order at the World's Fair grounds, bnt the climax ot all will have been reached when the yisitor is permitted to stand on the roof if Manufacturers’ building to behold a spectacls such as man never before looked npon, and to walk around the roof at its edge, a distance only a little less than a mile. Around the edge of this roof has been constructed a prom enade 8 feet wide and 4,800 feet long. The estimated capacity of the promen ade is from 10,0(R» to 12,000. • The four great search lights which are to be mounted on Manufacturers* building, will be at the four corners; within two feet of the promenade. One of these lights will have 200,000,000 can dle power, and its rays will penetrate 50 miles. Access to the roof will be had by four elevators. IIow the Attendance Hold* Ur-* The attendance at the Columbian ex position the first two weeks is shown in the following table: Mayl 120,200 May 8 21,701 May 2 14,282 May 9 17.U-J May 3 116.459 Mav 10... . 18 198 Mav 4 20.466 May 11 23.261 May5 11,994 May 12 30,132 May C 17,149 The attendance at the centennial was as follows: May 10 (open- May 16 7,056 ingday).. 76,172 May 17 12.117 May 11 14,722 Mav 18 11.054 May 12 10,252 May 19 10,100 May 13 11,658 Mav 20 12,403 Mhv 15 10.986 May 22 20 By this it will bo seen that the total attendance at the World’s Fair during 1 the first 11 days is nearly 219,000 greater l than at the centennial during the col- I responding period. From the Department of Justice. Washington, May 16.—Inquiry at the department of justice as to the de cision of the board of directors to open the World’s Fair grounds on Sunday develops a feeling favorable to it. it was pointed ont that the law provides that the government exhibits only shall be closed on Sunday. The congressional appropriation of $2,500,000 was condi tioned that the exposition shall be closed on the first day of the week, but where is it made compulsory to close the grounds? Attorney General Olney will not ex press an opinion on the subject, as it will probably come to him for judicial determination, bnt prominent officials in tho department of justice do not hesi tate to appr- ve the action already taken as being within the law, bnt express the hope that means may be fonnd to throw open the whole exposition on Sunday. Assistant Secretary Curtis, of the treasury department, who has charge of World’s Fair matters as far as they af fect the treasury department, said that he had no official information of the purpose of the board of directors of the World’s Fair to open the grounds of the fair on Sunday, May 31. Until the snl»- iect came to him in an official manner he declined to express any opinion as to what action, if any, the treasury offi cials might feel called upon to taae in regard to the undelivered balanco of souvenir coin. wAy e-Ross Music Store.
