Washington, April 3.-Ex-senators
Thurston, Mcbride and Lindsay; ex-Rep-
resentative Allen of Mississippi and John
f. Miller of Indiana, five members of the
recently appointed st. Louis Exposition
Commission, called upon the President to-
cay. MIR. Allen remarked humorously af-
ter the interview that the commission
had simply called to thank the President
on behalf of the country, for the wise
selections he had made. Under the law
the commission must organize at St Lou
is under the direction of the Secretary
of State, within thirty days after its APP
pointment. After leaving the White
House the members of the commission
saw Secretary Hay.
The FIVE members of the commission
took the oath of office at the State De-
partment and received their commissions.
There was some discussion as to the date
upon which the commission should meet,
but no decision was reached and it was
left open until other members of the COM
mission could be heard from.
