WILL GO TO LAW.
The Courts to Decide the Worlds
Fair Sunday Question.
An Injunction to Prevent Closing the
Gates Asked For-The Attorney Gem
erals Instructions-MayC Call
Out the Troops.
sEFoRE THE COURTS.

CHICAGO, May 15.-Whether or not
the gates of Jackson park will be opened
to the public Sundays is a question
that will now have to be determined
by the courts. An action calling in
question the powers of the COM
mission, the rights of the people,
and asking for a construction of the
laws bearing upon the whole subject
matter has been begun in the superior
court of Cook county. The threatened
suit by Charles Clingman to enjoin the
board of directors, the national COM
mission and the South park COM
missioners from closing the gates
was commenced in the Cook
county superior court Saturday
afternoon. The suit is a direct
attack against closing anything per-
tanning to the exposition and is direct
ed against the local directory because
that body did not pass a resolution
broad enough. The position is taken
that the park commissioners are the
agents of the people and cannot lease
or concede to anybody, including
the general government, the right
or of anything within the limits of
the park. The case is brought in the
state courts, and the question is treated
as one with which the federal authori-
ties have nothing to do. The only ref
erence to anything national is the
joinder of the national commission as
parties to the action, upon the ground
that this body is obstructing the rights
of the people in keeping the buildings
and exhibits closed Sundays
THE GOVERNMENTS INTEREST
Attorney General 0lney has instructed
his subordinate in this district to see
that the laws of congress are not vio-
lated, and to look after governmental
interests. District Attorney Milchriss
admitted that he had received instruc-
tions from his chief to protect the
rights Of the national government in
this matter. Imam interview he gives
it as his opinion that the gates cannot
be opened in the manner attempted by
the local directory.
MAY CALL OUT THE ARMY
| Gen j. w. st. Clair, of West Virginia,
one of the active members of the
commission, used emphatic language in
| speaking of the directorys resolve. In
cidentally he talked about the POSSIBLE
ity of the United States army being
called upon to awe the directors into a
more proper frame of mind. He said:
THE gates OF .Ae fair will not be open on
Sunday, May 81, unless legally and with the
consent OF the commissioners. am positive of
this. The action of the board of directors will
simply MAKE the fight four times harder"
Suppose the directory should Insist on open
ing the gates on Sunday what measures can be
taken to prevent themy'
"President Cleveland can caH upon the
army, and he will do it if the commission
should think il necessary. The gates cannot
be opened without the consent 81 the presi-
dent"

Browns furnished the financial back

is included in the assignment. No
other failures will result. The deposits
