GOING TO BE TROUBLE.
Picture-Taker Arnold Caa't Run the
Worlds Fair


Worlds Fair.
WoRLp's FAIR GROUNDS, June TO-
There is going to be trouble at the fair
IL official Pirture-Maker Arnold and his
partper, the son OF President Higin-
botham. do not promptly respect the
permits issued by the director general
to The representatives of the press.
Colonel Davis, national commissioners,
foreign commissioners and others are
more exercised over the high handed
conduct Of Arnold than over awards or
music or similar distracting questions.
Before the week ends the coun-
Gil of administration is expected
to call /. halt on the
picture making combination which viii
prevent q repetition of the arrests and
attempted confiscation Of other photog-
rapher's property. Even II the council
does not serve notice on Arnold, the
board Of control. aided by the special
photograph committee of the commits
sion, intends to proceed by petition to
the federal court. A sufficient force of
United States marshals will be
asked for to see that all per-
sons carrying permits signed by
the director general are not
interfered with. Commissioner Humid
ley OF Alabama, who was one of the
Sunday closing majority on the judi
ciary committee. says the decision of
Judges Woods and Jenkins on the basis
Of national authority over Jackson
park, is sufficient ground for making
all persons interfering with the permit
holders liable to fine and i'm
prisonnent after the commits
sion's Judgment that others besides
Arnold could take pictures and that the
director general had full authority to
sign permits. The commissioners here
point out that Arnold and young Hig-
inbotham are not even concessionaires.
They are only employees OF the exposi-
ton, receiving fixed salary and a 10
per cent perquisite, yet they clothe
themselves with authority to arrest
every person on whom they can not levy
tribute
