THE PnEsIDENT,s STATEMENT.

With the Fest Half of the Exposi-

Almost Out of Debt-Five Days
More Will Bring the Neces-
sary Funds-Doings OF the
Day.
CHICAGO, Aug 3.-The council of
administration and national commits
sion, realizing that the fair is half over,
have become convinced that heroic
MEASURES must be adopted in order TO
induce the people to come in crowds
large enough to make the enterprise a
financial success. The council of adj
ADMINISTRATION is making every effort To
STOP the leaks ana the national commits
son is, through committees, striving to
correct objectionable practices and
create new attractions for visitors.
The American Exhibitors association
has joined hands with the other bodies,
and tie trio declare that no means will
lie spared 10 bring about the desired
eid.
In regard 10 the financial condition Of
TIE exposition company, President
liiginbuIham las given out the follow
ing statement:
1T is impossible 10 give any exact
figures concerning the Indebtedness of
TIE fair. Few people realize how grea.
an Institution this is, and many seem TO
think we should be able to stop any
moment and tell exactly how we stand.
q, I,.,t
ever, We are now taking our bearings,
{, s! will Ue ready with statement this
week.
"Whpn the fair opened there was a
great floating Indebtedness. Since May
we have been compelled to construct
several buildings. Now, when we can
say with The best half of the exposition
season before us that we are out of debt,
We are doing well. 1t may be that we
sill CIVIC little more than we have the
Ii oney To pay, but the over liability Is
of little consequence. Inside of five
days we will have all the funds neces-
sary Ia pay every debt we owe. The
assertion that S1,U0O,OO0 will not put us
even is entirely false. We owe 10 such
Misunderstanding like it."
