Advance Guard of Twenty-Five
Young Women From the Uni
vcrsity Arrive to Study
the Exposition.

About twenty-five young women stu
dents Of Chicago University arrived in st.
Louis at late hour last night from Chi
cago. going direct to the Christian En-
deavor Hotel. where they had engaged
rooms.
This is the advance guard Of class OF
about sixty young women. who are soon
to begin a course In anthropology. with
Professor Frederick Starr Of Chicago Uni
versty as their instructor. and the Fair
as their text.
The party did not arrive in time last
night to visit the Fair. It being nearly
midnight when they reached their rooms
at the hotel. They were especially unas-
suming. and very few guests Of the hotel
knew who they were Even the clerk.
who had been informed that they were
coming, was slow to believe that young
women who registered from Chicago and
went directly to their rooms were the
Chicago co-eds he had heard SO much
about
The remainder Of the party will arrive
to-day and the class will begin Its study Of
The Fair and It's People, 1t was at first
reported that Professor Starr would make
tho Pike the principal object Of study for
his class, and II Is said that this report
had the effect Of doubling the enrolment
In the course.
The Professor says. however. that the
class will have an Opportunity OF studying
the Pike only outside of school hours. and
then they must limit their Investigations

TEN TICKET MEN
TO BE PROSECUTED
Philippine Reservation Officials
Decide on Course at Confer
ence With Prosecutor
Gardner.

Doctor William p. Wilson. chairman Of
tho Philippine Exposition Board; Edmund
A. Fielder. executive officer, and Auditor
Lawshe Of the Philippine Government
conferred yesterday afternoon with As
sistant Prosecuting Attorney A. E. l.
Gardner of st. Louis County relative to
the prosecution of certain ticket-takers
and ticket-sellers at the Visayan Village,
vestigation Of their methods OF selling and
taking tickets.
The men were arrested about ten days
ago and taken to Clayton. where they
were released on bond after the Prosecut-
Ing Attorney had filed informations
against them. Their trials will come up
in the st. Louis County seat this morning
before Justice of the Peace ]. b. Green's
fielder.
At tho conference between the Philippine
officials and the County Prosecutor the ac-
cused men were called in and permitted to
make statements before the self-constitut-
ed inquisitorial board. All together. there
were fifteen men who appeared. and It is
said. that a majority of tnem confessed to
the charges that had been made. Out OF
the fifteen. ten will be tried this morning
and the cases against the others dismissed
or continued generally, which. In effect, Is
practically the same.
After the conference an official Of the
Philippine Board said that the amounts
taken unlawfully were. In some cases. so
small that the prosecution would not be
pushed with the vigor that would other
wise characterize It. and that 1t was prob
able that those who confessed would get
of with the payment Of nominal fine and
costs.
The scheme OF the accused men was to
resell tickets given at the gate for their
own profit. An inspector noticed that the
receipts were out Of proportion to the
size Of the daily crowds. made an investi-
CATION and Dipped the plans in the bud
The first two men arrested made state
ments that Implicated those subsequently
taken into custody.
1t was supposed that tho prosecutions
OF the men would be conducted by the
Federal authorities. but as the State on
cials first acquired Jurisdiction by the ar
rests, IL was decided to follow the rule
adopted at Jefferson Barracks and per-
nit the trials to be held In the State
courts. For this the accused men, II is
said. are thankful. on account OF the sever
ity usually exercised In melting out pun
ishmcnt to wrongdoers by United States
tribunals.

Chief Of Admissions Discharges
Twenty-Seven Employees Whose
Services Are Not Required.
TO CLOSE SEVERAL STILES.
Close Study Shows That Mord
Than 80 Per Cent of Visitors
Use Six Principal
Entrances.

Twenty-seven gatemen employed IN the
Department Of Admissions at the Worlds
Fair have been discharged by order Of
Chief White. The dlsmissals are the re-
suit OF close study OF tho traffic at the
respective gates. which proved that the
entrances OF the Worlds Fair could be
manned effectively with smaller staff Of
gatenen than at present maintained.
The discharge Of the twenty-seven gate
men means that in the afternoon all gates
except those at the six principal entrances
will be manned with a greatly reduced
force, and that the pass gates at these
entrances will be closed after 1890 .. m.
Heretofore a pass gate has been kept open
twenty-four hours at every entrance.
The six principal entrances which will
not suffer any closing OF gates and at
which the pass gates Will continue to be
open night and day are the Undell. Pike.
Administration. Convention. Agriculture
and States entrances.
Chief White yesterday said that close
observation Of the traffic through tho
various gates had established the fact
that more than 20 per cent OF the total
number Of entries had come through the
Six principal entrances.
This being the fact. it was plain that
by reducing the force required to man
tho gates at the other entrances saw
ing could be effected without impairing
the efficiency Of the Admissions Depart
ment
Mr.. White also explained that on ex-
traordinary days when larger crowd
than the average might be expected the
work would be handled by opening the
necessary additional gates, combining the
several details OF gatemen and paying
them for overtime.
The order OF dismissal Is effective at
once. Mr.. White says 1t will affect,
for the most part, college students,
who would depart for their classes
anyway In a short time.

PIKE FUN MAY
Be CENSORED.
Concessionaires, on Behalf of Pa
irons, Object to "Ticklers" and
BOisterous Conduct at Fair.

''Tickled to death" may be the epitaph
written over certain forms of frivolity
which Of late have become epidemic on the
gay and effervescent Pike Tho reign OF
gentle and Joyous fun Is threatened. and
the boisterous youth with the tormenting
feather ticker is on the list. He never
Will be missed.
There Is sentiment on the Pike against
too much hilartty. Strange to say. Il en-
anates from the Pike concessionaires, and
the Exposition management lately has re-
ceived many letters complaining that
there Is too much g.ddiness Of spirit mani
tested by the youths who stroll on that
gay thoroughfare.
The pernicious little "ticklers" are most
vigorously objected to. and II the agitation
against them continues thero may be q
pronunciamento against them on the Pike.
Another playful practice. popular with
happy youths. but unpopular with their
elders. Is that narrowing report Of
cracking the whip" This Is done by a
band of lusty funmakers catching hands
and In an extended line rushing down
tho Pike. sweeping all In their path. With
a whoop a rush Is made. the two ends
Of the line pulling against each other
and one end whiriing about until one Of
tho end men snaps of and caroms with
force against some innocent bystander.
Pike concessionaires object to these
amusements as being too rough. and for
their patrons they have appealed TO the
Exposition management to take steps to
tone down the bOiSterouS merrtment.
