PARTIAL REPORT
COMES To LIGHT
Affairs of st. Louis Fair Commission
Not Fully Explained.
WHAT Mr.. WHITAKER SAYS
FILES sELATEO STATEMENT
WITH THE GOVERNOR.

After strenuous and long continued
efforts on the part Of The Herald, and
after much. anxiety On the part of Off
Gals connected directly or indirectly
with the Louisiana Purchase commits
sion for Utah, the report of Secretary
S. T. Whitaker was yesterday filed with
Governor John G. Cutler, Whether this
report viii prove satisfactory to the
governor and the legislature remains
still to be determined. 1t will be noted
that it bears the date of March %. 1905.
Why it should be held back for nine
months Is not explained.
In itself the report is not clear. Orig
inally $4,000 was appropriated by the
legislature for the exhibit to be made at
ST. Louis. When II became evident that
a deficit existed at the close Of the
Louisiana Purchase exposition the Leg
latuFe appropriated $4,000 TO close up
the business of the commission. II
was presumed that the final report of
the commission should account for this
entire 100000. Mr. Whitakers report
accounts for but S9,e6S.02.
There is nothing in the report to
show what was done with the bulk Of
the money expended in the time COW
cred by the report. Practically $4,000
was paid to banks, presumably TO wipe
OUT .OVGTuIdllS. All lillb
may be given in the vouchers filed with
State Auditor John A. Edwards.
