woRln's FArs. Oct. Especial. Feet
ing runs high IN the state building. Ii
arises over the arrest of E!on Eldridge. a
nephew of Commissioner Thomas Cava-
naugh. Blalock has been getting fruit from
Washington snd stacking is in the build
ing. where he sells IL at retail prices. Un-
like the orange cider concession, he does
not even pay percentage. He has missed
fruit, and resolved to catch the thief. Last
night ne set Royal Dye to watch. Dye put
ladder to the window and watched.
Presently Eldridge happened along and
helped himself to pear. A few minutes
later a Columbian guard arrested him.
The other attaches waxed wroth. and de-
nounced Bialock's action as an insult to
all. Blalock was thunderstruck TO find
Eldridge had been arrested, rs his poiit-
ical combination is with Cavanaugh. This
morning he apologized to Eldridge. who
had been bailed out by Meany. Eldridge
refused to accept the apology, and every
one in the building is giving Blalock the
cold shoulder.
The situation is extremely warm.
Meany said today:
"You can quote me and all the other
employees as denouncing Bialock's high
handed action. He has been using state
property to sell his fruit without paying
a cent TO the state, and then causes the
arrest of man for helping himself 70 n
pear. His receipts on the sale Of fruit
come to SIS day, and he pays no per-
centage. He offered the state building
with all contents 10 Director General
Davis without any authority to do so. His
watermelons have never materialixed, and
he is bringing fruit on here TO sell. !"
In o published interview DIR. Calhoun
says BIalock was not authorized to donate
the state building and its contents.
Cavanaugh b in New York.
Concerning the report that the Wash
ington building has been donated to Chr
cago, Executive Commissioner Calhoun
says: There has been some talk among
the commissioners in regard to making an
offer of the building on condition that 1t
be made permanent museum OF botany
and forestry, but to my knowledge no
such offer has been made. In fact, no
individual member of the board could
make it. According to the state law, at
the end of the fair the governor and
commissioners are authorized to dispose Of
the building in the manner which seems
to them conducive to the best interests Of
the state. You can plainly see from this
that until the close of the exposition
nothing can be done"
