today in the Worlds fair Sunday closing
suit. United States Attorney Milchrist
asked that in the absence Of permanent
next Sunday. This wa refused, and

that no intimation could be given as to
when the decision might be expected. On
behalf Of the fair it Was argued that if the
court should grant the prayer of the petit
ton for an order closing the gates on Sum
day the management would have to either
disobey that order or the order Of the state
court holding that park being for
the recreation and enjoyment of
the People, they could not be kept
out on any day of the week. The
court asked If the logic Of this was that no
entrance fec could be charged. 70 which
the attorney for the fair said no, because
OF the large amount spent in building the
fair the directory was entitled to charge q
fee. This had already been decided in
effect. Attorney High. for the govern
ment. produced report of the dedication
exercises of the exposition and read por-
tions of President Higginbotham's ad-
dress formally transferring the enterprise

High asserted. placed the entire exposi-
ton in the hands Of the government
and invested the Federal Representatives
with full power to control. "What do
you think Mayor Harris meant when
he rendered Chicago's distinguished guest
the freedom Of the city?" asked Judge
Jenkins. referring to the courtesy extended
to the Duke Of veragua- The question

High, who was somewhat taken back at
the query, said: "Well, of course this 10
for your honors to decide" There Is much
speculation tonight. now that the case Is
finally in the judges hands tor decision,
as ID when the decision will Be- rendered.
Not few expect that the decision will be

ton is not generally looked for.
