Government National Commission, the
Missouri Board and other states have
money in the bank. The Chemical Ma

Of doing business in the Worlds Eair

pie will begin when the foreigners from
the midway plaisance villages, who
speak little or no English and have eN-

In conversation with a reporter this
afternoon President Higginbotham, Of the
Worlds Fair directory denied that the
council Of administration had I'm any way
indorsed the Chemical National Bank
branch at the Fair grounds.
Bank Examiner Sturgis said tonight
that 1t would be at least n week before
he could prepare a statement Of the
assets and liabilities Of the bank. The
only thins he ascertained to-day was
the amount Of cash on hand. What the
figure was he refused 10 say. It IS pro-
