Complaints are becoming plentiful of
alleged fraudulent hotel schemes in
connection with the worlds fair. In
many cases money for rooms is collect

when the exposition opens
A resident of Chicago says that while
in Philadelphia last November he was
shown the picture and prospectus OF
an enormous hotel to be erected within
six blocks Of the exposition. All rail-
way lines to the fair were to pass the
door and other advantages were
claimed. At the solicitation of the
agent the Chicago man bought two
tickets for one dollar and seventy-fTe
cents each, securing the option on two
rooms, the understanding being that
he would have to pay like amount on
registering and one dollar a day for
furnished rooms thereafter.
A few days ago the Chicago man Wis
tied the local office of the hotel in one
of the skyscrapers to inquire how the
big enterprise was progressing. He
was told that nothing had yet been
done toward erecting the building.

exhibitors generally indicate that ship

approval daily and speedy action is
taken on them. Most exhibitors COM
nence work on the structures imme-
diately after they have passed through

is believed that the work of prepara-
ton is remarkably well advanced,
