WORLDS FAIR.

CHICAGO, April 3.-The attack on
the board of control took most OF
the time of the national worlds fair
commission yesterday. The board
submitted a report outlining what II
had been doing the past few months
i'm the way of approving building
plans of the directory, making
changes in salaries, ect. The OBJ
iectors, headed by Commissioners
williams, Mcdonald, Ryan, Lam
nan and Harris, contended the
board had exceeded its authority
that the questions of the site, salar-
les and appointments were in the
jurisdiction of the commission alone.
It is intimidated tonight that the
dicontents may make an effort to
abolish the board Of control. This
would open up the old fight between
the local directory and the national
commission and leave the affairs
of the big exposition once more in
chaos.

In tho presence of his family, robbed
him of between $4,000 and $4,000
In cash, and escaped, Suspicion was
directed toward the Nlcelys, who
belonged TO a wealthy Dunkard
family. In spite of q fierce legal
fight, they were conYicted on strong
circumstantIal evidence at the de-
mand of popular opinion. Later
the case was complicated by sworn
confession of John Reach that he
and man named Miller committed
the crime. The board of pardons,
however, declined to interfere. The
brothers made two sensational at
tempts to escape, getting away once,
but were recaptured.
