PROPOSED WORLDS FAIR,
Feeling Of Confidence Said to Have Heer
Manifest Among Members of
Committee Mt 81. Louis.

st Louis, Sept. pa feeling of
confidence among the Worlds Fair
workers was manifest during last
week and there was a firm belief
that the long looked for incorporation
of the Louisiana Purchase Centennial
company viii soon be an accom-
plishcd fact Just how much addition
TO the $4,000 600 fund has been made
since tc enthusiastic meeting on last
Tuesday night is not announced. but
indications point to it being very
large. When the question of celebrat-
ing the Louisiana Purchase Centen-
NAL was first discussed over three
years ago, the objection to a worlds
fair was the temporary nature of the
buildings and the fact that compare
lively nothing would remain after the
close of the exposition. This obiec-
ton has been frequently reiterated
during the canvass. A plan is being
perfected in Paris by committee APP
pointed for the purpose for providing
and utilizing the prominent buildings
and features of the exposition which
has lust closed. Secretary Cox has
secured from Paris a manuscript copy
of full report prepared by this com
mittee which answers the objections
