ANOTHER QUESTION
Comes Up to Continue the
Worlds Fair Wrangle.
IT is THAT OF JURISDICTION.
Mrs. Potter Palmer Is Elected President of the
Lady COmmissioners-Th Two Tenn
perance Unions.

CHICAGO, November 20.-The board of
lady managers of the Worlds fair this
morning reassembled and elected Mrs.
Porter Palmer president, Mrs General
John A. Logan having declined a nomina-
ton in favor of Mrs. Palmer
When the national commission resumed
its session this morning, the trouble be-
tween the executive and foreign affairs
committee was settled by the adoption OF
a resolution setting forth that no disre-
spect to the foreign committee was intended
but simply intimated that owing to the
state of the funds available, strict economy
was necessary in all the committees. The
auditing committee reported the expenses
OF the commission to date to be s51, 600.
| The report of the committee on buildings
and grounds was then taken up. This is
one,of the bombs which was expected to ex
pected to explode with great violence as it
embraced the question of what portion of
the FAIR would be placed on Lake Front 1t
recommends that the fine art and decora-
tive art buildings, music hall, electrical
display, water palace and steel tower, with
other germane exhibits, be placed On Lake
Front with the main department buildings,
government and state exhibits in Jackson
MIDWAY
ance and Washington park
| Commissioner DeYoung, of California.
who introduced a resolution several DAYS
ago, resembling the acceptance of the sites,
stated he had not called it up because he
was not at all satisfied with the manner in
which the buildings had been allotted.
| With all the main buildings grouped to-
gether, he did not care what side affairs
were put on Lake Front. He moved to
nT1t ha 40 -
1ng'' and leave it simply the art building,
| that the meaning might be clear.
Mercer, of Wyoming, strongly objected
to anything but the art gallery going on
Lake Front. He also filed protest against
the double site, submitted by thirteen diff
ferent associations.
Sewell, of Maryland; Jones, of Missouri.
and other commissioners, including Presi-
dent Palmer, spoke in favor of the report.
De Young's and MERGERS amendments
were voted down and the report of the
committee adopted, finally settling the vex-
atlous site question.
Commissioner ST. Clair opened I'D the
serious question of the relative Jurisdiction
OF the commission and the directory. He
offered resolution accusing the directory
OF delay in presenting plans and failure to
| recognize properly the director general
The resolution asked the chairmen of the
standing committees to report on the situa-
| ton. a discussion arose over the preamble
which criticised the action of the local di-
rectorate. 1t was pointed out in the dis
cussion that an appeal as to clash between
the two bodies could only be taken to Con-
gress, which would mean fatal DELAY to
the fair. A number of amendments were
| offered to the resolution and finally the
whole matter Of jurisdiction was offered to
committee of six-St. Clair, De Young,
Lindsay, Massey, Walker and Martindale.
The committee will report plan of pro-
cedure as soon as possible
After the adjournment of the commission.
Vice-President Bryan, of the local direc
tory, expressed confidence that the confer
ence committee would agree upon a set
Element soon.
