Celebrated in an Imposing Manner.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 6. = John Boyd
Thacher Of the Worlds Fair awards com
mittee, yesterday sent a copy OF the by
laws of the awards committee to the ma
tional boaid.
In the first section Mr.. Thatcher serves
notice on the national committee that 1t
has nothing to do with the distribution of
awards. He says the whole business is in
the hands of the awards committee, only
the appointment of judges being subject
to the confirmation of the national COM
mittee.
Mr. Thatcher has appointed a court of
reference and appeal, to which all COM
plants of decisions shall go. and appoint
ing as this court Professor King of Iowa
and Oscar R. Hundley of Alabama, both
members of the awards committee. No
action was taken on the nominations yes
terday.
1t is expected that the foreign commits
sioner will file another protest demanding
that they be allowed representation in the
court. The two commissioners composing
this court, according to Mr.. Thacher's
plan, have final decision of contest cases
among dissatisfied exhibitors. There is
no appeal from their ruling. Appeals
from the decisions of the judges OF awards
committee of awards, its executive com
mittee or its chairman, in the absence OF a
quorum. In hearing appeals petitions the
court will consider the merits or dement's
| OF any exhibit upon which the judges of
| awards have reported. The court is en-
| powered to adopt its own rules, and regl-
lations. If the members of this court be
unable to agree upon q matter before them,
| the chairman of the COMMITTEES or the ex-
| pnTti a pllftpp aWardS NAV call IN
some member Of the committee on awards
| who will have the deciding vote.
Mr.. Thatcher will probably be called
| before the national board to-day or Satpr'
| day, to explain certain matters in connec
ton with his court of appeals.
| Hubert Vos, the portrait painter, anc
Apol, the landscape painter, were yester
fine art section. Foreign commissioner
have gained their point in the controyers,
brought on by the arrest of DR.. Emil Hass
Ter, representative from Paraguay.
DR.. Hassler was seized by Columbian
guard and hauled away in q patrol wagon
because he insisted on carrying one OF hi
own flags from the Anthropological Build
ing. He waited long enough to give tn
authorities an opportunity TO apologize TO
the arrest and on their failure to do 81
covered all the exhibits from Paraguay
They are still yelled. Then the foreigl
commissioners held meeting and serve
notice on the authorities that unless prope
apologies were made within week othe
exhibits would also be yelled. They ais
demandedimmunity from further ares
by the guards. That was last Friday.
When the commissioners meet to-rnpr
row thaf will receive both apology and
notice tnat no further arrests will be made
Chief Putnam of the Anthropologica
Building has written a letter explainin
his connection with the case. He said tha
} foreign commissioners had complaine
that their exhibits were not properl
guarded and that he issued an order "
structing the guards not to allow anythin
! to be taken from his building.
III granting the foreign commissions
immunity from arrest the same plan wi
be adopted as applies TO minister's {
foreign countries. Should commissions
have any difficulty with "a guard he wi
present his card and go about his bushes
T The guard will make report OF the cas-
: | and leave the report and card with tt
officer of the day. If he thinks the case
serious enough to demand attention
will send for the commissioner, but und
) no circumstances will, guards be Above
to lay hands on representatives OF foreie
countries.
Big preparations are being made by IL
. Austro. Hungarians of this city to gel

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHrcAG
July 10.--Since the Sunday attendant
of paying visitors at the Fair began
4 dwindle below the 10000 mark d
: directors have been doing considerab
2, thinking as to the best course to pursl
It in the interest of the Exposition and u
}. wage-working multitude, for whom d
Il officials have borne the denunciation
0 Sabbatarians. The principal reast
= for the decreased attendance on Su
! days is the discovery that the workiI
people and others, who have time on
on Sunday to see the Fair, have Learns
that they cannot see more than half tl
= show for the same price OF admissit
charged on week days, when eve
= section of the Fair is open to the publ
5 The people have decided to stay avn
n altogether on Sundays, and try to S
i the Fair on other days, or they are wa
VI ing for the directors to reduce the a
L mission fee to % cents on Sundays.
'e Many Of the broad-minded directc
have come to the conclusion that I
people will come with their families
larger numbers Sundays than week da
y if the uniform price of admission {
l. Sundays is fixed at % cents. The CT
70 cago press, which with one exception
y favorable to Sunday opening, is adv
+ eating half price for half show.
e, Yesterdays still smaller attendan
n of Assoc, in spite of the fine wealth
o. until evening, will bring the directe
to the acting point this week. A spec
meeting of that body will be held, it
understood, before next Sunday.
Or A large number of Michigan odito
er members of the Press Association of I
d Badger State, visited the grounds
d day. Shortly after noon they gather
Ia in the Michigan Building, where tn
n, were given an informal reception. 4
Of structure was gayly decorated in hon
Dc of the visitors.
