be permitted to carry packages from
the worlds fair grounds at st. Louis
without special permit resulted in
four Chinese artisans destroying four
valuable carved wooden images before
an astonished gatekeeper The four

to have them gllded and painted to be
presented to distinguished worlds fair

written permits to take the Images
from the grounds had been provided.

men and investigated their packages.

and quickly made it plain that the Chi
