MRS. POTTER PALMER MAD.
She Threatens to Resign IL the Rows
Don't Cease.

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO,
May Sat a meeting of the board of
lady managers this morning, Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer, president OF the board,
from her seat on the platform, declared
that it was her intention to resign her
position, not only as presiding officer
Of the board and executive head OF the
woman department in the exposition,
but as a member of the board from
Illinois, unless rows, chickering's, petty
jealousies, dissensions and other
troubles which have prevailed among
the women of the board, ceased.
For the present the threatened
storm blew over and the routine work
of the session was continued, after the
board had passed q resolution eulogiz-
ing Mrs, Palmer. The chief trouble
which Mrs. Palmer had reference to
was in connection with the introduc-
tion OF the Duchess of Veragua and
other members Of the ducal party to
members OF the board in the women's
building during the dedication exer-
cises. Some Of the women raised
row because they had not been intro
duced to the duchess, and they went
so far as to say that the snub or slight
was intentional and that Mrs. Palmer
wanted to monopolize all the glory Of
the occasion. Publicity was given to
the affair and Mrs. Palmer was much
offended thereat.
