IL in charge Of the secret services depart
ment of the fair. His men have made
themselves obnoxious to the different state
commissioner by their readiness 70 10

state buildings. often before said articles
were lost A meeting Of the executive
commissioner club was held here Thufs-
day and IL Was decided 70 bar out Bon
field men in their official capacity. and mo-

Chairman Thatcher. Of the executive
committee Of the bureau Of awards. speak
ing today Of the system OF awards. said:
"ihe bureau has intended from the start
to cause . most complete and exhaustive
examination to be made Of the exhibits 70
the end that it might easily meet any de-
mand by congress requiring the bureau to
disclose to the world the progress made in
the arts. industries and science. The COM
merciai side of the award question sinks
into insigniticance when compared to the
instructive side. For instance, grains will
be chemically examined to discover il the
farmer Is utilizing his land for the best
purposes. Woot will be experimented on
In the laboratory to ascertain the value OF
its fiber and the propriety OF raising GER
tain grades Of sheep in certain localities
and under certain conditions. Food pro-
ducts will be examined and their physio-
logical valnes determined. No such ex-
animation has ever taken place in co nnec-
ton with any other exposition. To
know that John Smith got prize for his
exhibit tells the world nothing. What NO
want to know II the specific merit or inn
provement over the past disclosed BY his
exhibit II would have been easy enough
70 have adopted the old-fashioned, mean
ingless system Of making awards and then
everything would Do delightfully."- smooth
calling, but what educational results

Wyoming. said the Worlds fair owes its
grandeur, magnificence and success to the
national commission. He proceeded to
inveigh against some Of the local papers,
between whom and the local directory

nothing could Be done and no quorum was
present At the meetings. etc. and said
that tho financial statement with the
most liberal estimates from now until
October 81 showed that the commission
would have 1t least $4,000 Of its appro-
priation left at that time. Commissioners
Touslsy, Of Minnesota. spoke about some
commissioners on the standing commit

sion is In session or not: "Who," as he
put il, 'having both feet in the trough,
objected to anyone else getting anything"
