the Exercises Indoors.
CHICAGO, April 6.-The executive committee
yesterday approved the recommendations to
no Id the program of the ceremonies for open
ing the fair in Music Hall. This is not agreea-
BILE to a number of directors and an effort will
doubtless be made to hold the exercises on the
plaza in front Of the government building.
The committee on ceremonies has added to
the list OF special fete days during the exposi-
ton: Catholic Knights Of America May o.
millers' day. June 20: college fraternIties and
Columbia. July 20; New South Wales, August
l; Catholic education day. September 2; Me-
vada, september Is; Travellers Protective As
ISOLATION, July 10: Turnerbund, July 81; North
Dakota, June 90; Sweden, June "a
In a report to the board of control yesterday
Director Davis said that 1927 car loads of
exhibits had been received at the park. The
large proportion of these are for the foreign Sec
ton exhibitors. American exhibits are beginning
toarriye in large numbers. Col. Davis SAYS that
installation OF exhibits was delayed by the
leaky roofs, but adds that the roofs are now
believed to be tight. Col. Davis reports tina t
23, 900 names OF exhibitors have already been
sent to the publisher OF the catalogue. He says
the first edition will be ready May / and a
month later the second edition or complete
catalogue will be out.
Regarding the work of the department chiefs
and their reports on the opening OF the fair
May l the director general says: 1T is i'm
possible 10 enumerate in brief report the
great work that is being done in the several de-
partments. and would respectfully refer your
honorable body 10 the reports of the detart
ment chiefs herewith submitted for minute in
spection. l can but say that each chic. of de-
partment is working with an intelligent ap-
probation OF his duties and they are hopeful of
having their buildings in proper condition by
the first OF May. The correspondence is large
and the telegraph is to be extensively used to
hurry forward exhibits.
ut is my belief that all the departments, ex-
cept possibly the department Of ethnology. will
be practically ready Cor the opening on May l.
The board of control will probably remain in
session during the exposition"

NOTHING DEFINITE AS YET
In Regard to the Personnel Of the New Court
of Appeals.

In Regard to the Personnel OF the New Court
of Appeals.
The composition Of the Court Of Appeals still
remains matter known. if known at all. only
to President Cleveland. The general impress
sion about the city hall today was that the ap-
pointment OF the three judges would
not be made before Monday next at
the earliest. Those who thought earlier
in the present week that Martin
+. Morris. ex-Representative Hemphill
Of South Carolina and Joseph J. Darlington
would be the men selected, appear to be be-
coming less confident in the matter, and the
impression is fast gaining ground that the
Presidents course in the selection of the three
judges is still "A very open and a very uncertain
matter. Ii appears to be practically agreed in
local legal circles that the President has not
only not yet made up his mind as 20 the three
men, but that he IS also experiencing no little
dlfhculty IN arriving at a final conclusion IN the
matter. While it cannot perhaps be termed a
belief. nevertheless it is undoubtedly true
that 1t Is an almost settled impression about
the city hall that Mr. Morris and Mr..
Hemphill will be finally chosen. 1t is known
that President Cleveland desired during his
first term to appoint Martin +. Morris 10 the
chief justiceship of the District supreme Court
upon the death OF the late Chief Justice Cartier.
and it is believed from this that Mr..
Morris will be selected for similar position
on the bench of the Court Of Appeals The
impression that ex-Rep-esentative Hemphilf
will be appointed seems to be based upon the
regard which the President is said to hold for
MIR. Hemphilrs character and abilities. and
also upon the fact that the ex-Representative is
now out Of politics.
The intImation in TEE STAR two days ago
that the President. in requesting a call from
Judge Cox of the District Supreme Court.
might have desired to consult with him with
the view of appointing him a member Of the
new court appears to have been most favorably
received by the members of the Dis
trict bar. and yesterday afternoon a
petition to the President praying for the APP
pointmeut Of Judge Cox IS the chief justice Of
the court was circulated among them and it is
said to have been very numerously signed. 1t
is stated that the appointment Of Judge Cox
will be strongly urged upon the President

Gen. s. s. Yoder, the commander-in-chief of
of the Union Veterans Union. has issued the
following order in regard to the observance Of
Memorial Day.
"Another year has been recorded with the
past since the war Of the rebellion closed The
30th of May, memorial day. is right at hand.
and the commander-in-chief would call
the attention OF order to the custom
OF remembering our fallen comrades with
appropriate ceremonies at such points AZ the
order may be able to meet. Our ranks are
being thinned annually at the rate Of about
1900, and u few more decades will reduce the
members to few hundred. Let the survivors
remember with tender feelings the dead.
The greatness and progress of the county we
saved Is a mighty monument to the acts of the
Onion army OF 1S6l-65. Its possibilities are
beyond conception, and we believe through the
years to come. the increased and iu-
creasing greatness and maguifcence
of our republic will but render the services of
the protectors OF the Union illustrious and be-
loved, not only by the citizens Of Q common
country. but the citizen world.

mended to meet in their respective halls and

nance Of unusually unfortunate and
pathetic detail was discovered yester-
day when two detectives from Toronto,

by Mrs. Evans. The latter moved soon after
ward to Philadelphia, where she brought up
her adopted daughter, giving her good educa-
tion. Twenty years later the boy, grown no to
manhood. moved also to Philadelphia, where
he followed the trade of painters
Chance drew the brother and sister together.
Barr was captivated with the girl
and wooed. won and married her. During
the late strike they moved to Homestead. where
Barr found employment. The adopted daugh-
ter of Mrs. Evans recently became an heir to
considerable property in Canada.
Detectives were sent to trace the heiress and
in their investigation discovered the true
relationship of M. and Mrs Barr to
be that Of brother and sister.
The terrible knowledge prostrated Mrs. Barr
and her husband is grief stricken. No issue
has resulted from their marriage
Legal proceedings will be instituted TO sever
the marriage bond and the couple will leave

The President reaffirmed his home rule pol
icy today. To a couple of Congressman who
called upon him to discuss territorial appoint
ments he stated that IT is his intention to ad-
here to the plan Of selecting appointees to posi-
tons in the territories from among residents.
state and local He will not depart from this
rule save in cases where the local candidates are
manifestly unfit for Office and ii becomes
necessary to seek elsewhere for the proper men
for the places.
ITS APPLICATION TO THE DISTRICT.
This announcement is Of peculiar interest at
this time to the District Of Columbia. as it is
taken to apply to local appointments here. and
may allsy the fears of some who thought that
the Presidents delay in selecting the new Court
of Appeals might be due to a search for out
siders to fill the places.
The new judges will undoubtedly be named
within a few days. as the Senate is making
preparations to adjourn soon. and the nominal
tions must be confirmed in order that the
court may organize before December.
The President had a comparatively light day
today. But few new applications for Office
were presented to him and the Senators and
Representatives who called came mainly for the
purpose of looking after the cakes already in
the oven.

he is of the old school democracy. and as it wa,
apparent that his services could benefit the
party and the administration he said he would
serve.
1t appears to be the general opinion of the
politicians who visit the White House thai
Judge Lochren's appointment is a good one
His soldier record is an excellent one. and hs
has the courage to lift the pension bureau
above the realm OF politics
