CHEATING THE EXPOSITION.
Much Greater Crowd Than Paid TO

Much Greater Crowd Than Paid to
Get I'm ON sunday.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, May 31.-
The difference between the size of Sum
days crowd and the number of tickets
received by the admission bureau is to
be Investigated by worlds fair officials.
Two or three OF the leading spirits place
Sundays crowd at 100000, others at
100, 600. while the United Press sent out
the conservative estimate of 125, 600.
All Of these figures according to the
bureau of admission are wrong as they
have returns from but 94SoS people.
The officials think the highest estimate
is nearly right and will try to find out
whether or not there is leak There is
No Way of Estimating
accurately the crowd beyond the re-
turns from the gates. The grounds and
buildings cover SO much territory that
even those accustomed TO estimating
crowds can hardly form an intelligent
idea. Any one of the great exhibit
buildings can swallow crowd of many
thousands and give no hint. AT one
time Sunday afternoon, for instance,
the Fisheries building, which always
attracts its share of visitors, was SO
crowded that it was difficult to get into
the aquarium wing. let alone see any of
the fish. Then there are hundreds of
byways and pockets. such as the side
shows on the Plaisance. There was not
time, for instance, during the after
noon when there were less than 5000
people nthe German village, and unless
the visitor went inside the gates he
would pass them by in the count.
Director Davis Talks.
Director General Davis was one of
those who. personally looked over the
crowds OF Sunday. He said: THE
question OF Sundays crowd is one that
is giving the officials much concern.
There is nothing to prove that there
were more people in the grounds than
is indicated by the report OF the depart
ment of admissions. ! cannot believe,
however, that the 94.OO0 reported or
the 100, 700 estimated by the bureau of
admissions by any means indicates the
real number there were inside jackson
palk and Midway Plaisance / do not
feel, however, that the matter should
be discussed at the present time How
lever, / made tour of the entire
grounds at 2 o'clock, and at that time
am convinced there>were 10000 people
In the grounds. had men watching
the gates to see how the crowds were
coming in and they reported q steady
stream all the afternoon. There must
have been considerably over 200, ,0O0
people in the grounds Ihave brought
the matter to the attention of the
proper persons and an investigation
will be made"

Assassination.
New YORK. May s1.-The Times
Piedras Negras, Mex, special says: A
few days ago Don Luis Caravanges, OF
the Bank of Durango. started to visit a
ranch owned by him 400 miles from
Durango. 1t was in the possession of
squatters and Caravanges had often at
tempted to make them pay rent. His
trip was for the purpose Of enforcing
payment. The squatters. learning of
this, decided upon the death of Don
Lnis Caravanges and drew lots as to
who should commit the murder. Four
men were selected and they ambushed
and assassinated him and his mozo.
When the news of the crime reached
Uurango the governor telegraphed to
the ranger captain at Topoma, and he
proceeded with body of picked men to
the scene OF the tragedy. There he
learned the particulars of the plot. and
the names of the conspirators. He next
pfpceeded to see these men. Sixteen ot
the twenty-five squatters have been
caught and summarily shoG.
