AN OPEN SUNDAY,
vEXED QUESTION DEFINITELY
SETTLED BY THE COURTS.


Chief Justice Fuller Reads he Deci-
sion, Which Holds That the Local
Directory Control and That the
Government Cannot Interfere.
CHICAGO. June l7.-The decision Of
the United States circuit court closing
the worlds fair on Sunday has been
reversed. The government is declared
to have no exclusive right or authority
exposition.
These are the two salient points of
the decision rendered by the United
States court OF appeals, a decision
moreover rendered noteworthy by the
fact that it reversed tie unanimous
concurrence os all the sitting justices,
while the decision reversed was dis
sented from in the circuit court by one
of the judges then sitting on the case.
IFg1Iler Read the Opinion.
Chief Justice Fuller, who read the
opinion, first devoted his atten ton to
the contention Of counsel for the gov
ernment that the court of appeals had
no jurisdiction i'll the premises, and
after reviewing the arguments at some
length, declared the motion to dismiss
the appeal overruled. Coming down to
the main question, the court took the
ground that the appropriation of
$2, 500, 900 in souvenir coins by the
United Sta es government could not
possibly be constructed as !, charity, or
as charitable bequest. IT was
Simply an Appropriation
for the assistance and benefit Of the cor
poration. AS to the right Of the United
States possession and control Of the
grounds. the court held that the local
corporation was in actual and lawful
possession, and that this fact had been
recognized by acts of the national legis-
lature. The court repudiated the idea
that the United States had any exclu-
siye rights or authority in the prem
ises, and concluded with the declara-
ton that no tenable grounds had been
shown for excepting the case under
hearing from the ordinary rules govern
ing court Of chancery.
"Therefore," concluded the chief jus
tice, ''the order of the circuit court is
reversed, and the case is re!nnn.led for
any further proceedings not inconsst-
ent with this ruling.
