THE WORLDS FAIR SUIT.

CHICAGO, June 3.-Ihe legal proceedings
in the United States court to enforce the
closing of the worlds fair have failed, SC
! far as tomorrow is concerned The federal
! judges this morning refused 10 enter q
! temporary restraining order. An order
! applicable to tomorrow was asked for yes
! terday by United States Attorney Mil
christ. When court opened today the
! lawyers and others interested directly in
| the decision had gathered in the room.
! Judge Woods announced that the court
| wished to make further investigation and
! would deliver its decision Thursday morn
! ing at 10 o'clock. In regard TO the tenn
porary order requested yesterday, Judge
| W OOdS said that the court would make no
ruling until the final decision was reached
Should it be decided by the judicial pro-
ceedings now instituted that the gates of
| the fair eau be legally opened on every
Sunday until the close of the whole show,
the council of administration and the sub
ordinate governing bodies will find that it
IS easier TO talk about inviting ministers
OF all creedS and sects 20 preach and con-
duct religious services on those days
within the grounds than ii is to get gen
eral acceptanCeS of such invitations. lot
every minister of the Christian church who
has spoken in favor of opening the gates OF
Sunday can be induced to perform his
clerical functions in the White City. where
InHTS are no CnuICGtS OT CudpciS. ne
only resem hlance to one is the reproduc-
tion of the La Rabida convent, ana there
is hardly room enough IN that quaint store
house of Columbian relics for the visitor
to move around. IL is not SO much the
absence o. conventional houses OF worship
in the park that will trouble the managers
of the fair. but the personal objection OF
church pastors to leave their hocks aud
preach to the Sunday crowds at the fair,
as i il was a species of entertainment re-
semblug Salvation Army rallies. Then
such men as d. l.. Moody have ideas about
religious services which would hardly
harmonic with the views of the exposi-
tion officials, no matter how anxious they
are to carry out the promises made
regarding services at the fair on Sun
day Although Evangelist Moody has
tried to be n-committal on the question
of accepting an invitation to preach at the
fair when il comes. ne has nevertheless
said enough 10 justify the conclusion that
unless he is allowed TO conduct the same
kind ola revival service at the fair as ne
does at the Chicago Avenue church. he
will politely decline the invitation that is
being held back by the supreme council,
probably for the reason that mem bcrs of
that body have serious misgIvings as to
Mr. Moody's acceptance Of such an invi-
tation. He does not propose 10 be used as
a drawing card for the exposition.
