WoRLD's FAIR GROUNDS. CHICAGO, July 49,
The jurors in the departments Of manufac-
lures, liberal arts, agriculture. machinery,
mines and mining, fine arts, electricity and
transportation met today to perfect their
organization and enter upon tho work OF
examining the exhibits for award. As nearly
all the foreign commissioners fell iuto
executive committee on awards some time
ago. 1t il not expected that there will be
much opposition among the foreign jurors to
the one judge system Of awards explained
to them by the members Of the committee.
In the fine arts department, however, there
is not smooth sailing for the award plan Of the
national commissioner. At the meeting Of the
jurors today there may be q serious split, re-
sulting in the withdrawal Of the pictures con-
tributed to the exposition by England Belgium,
Italy. Austria, Holland, Spain. Germany,
France. Russia. Sweden and Norway.
The jurors who have had experience at other
expositions have been accustomed to the jury
plan alone in examining works OF art for award
and they insist that MIR. Thatcher's one-judge
rule must not prevail. compromise may
be reached by the jurors being allowed
their own way with the exception that
the finding or report Of the jury shall
be signed by one member only, thus giving a
sembiance of uniformity to the system OF
awards. Chairman TEACHER and his committee
are xfraid that il they surrender uncondition-
ally to the fine arts judges the whole plan would
be in danger Of disintegrstion.
