JAMESTOWN TO PAY.
SAYS Mr.. EDWARDS
Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Is Opt
miStic.

JAMESTOWN E sITIo \
GROUNDS. Aus. 24-In spite Of the fact
that the jamestown Exposition Com
pany has Iefaulted on the hrst two nav
Inents to the Government on account Of
its loan OF 81 100000. there is little prob-
ability that Secretary Cortelyeu viii
assume control OF the gate receipts IN
the near future.
Assistant Secretary OF the Treasury
J. H. Edwards leaves here for Wash
his presence at the exposition was for
the purpose Of arranging to take con-
troll for the Government, re said:
Il am not here for any such purpose.
The statements that I came to James
town for the purpose OF assuming
charge OF the gate receipts in order to
protect the Government from loss are
Without foundation
When asked whether such action on
the part OF the Government was con
templated, he said thar so far as he
vas concerned nothing Of the kind was
now being considered He did not think
that Secretary Cortelyou. either. had
any such intention.
Mr. Edwards is very enthusiastic over
the jamestown Exposition and thinks
people are missing a great show BY
staying away. He said that the Gov
eminent was doing all in its power to
assist in making the exposition a sue
cess. He declined to say what action
would be taken If the company con-
tinued to default. but was inclined to
TIE opinion that the next three months
at the show would be sufficient to pro-
IL
erDments loan and pay expenses be-
sides.

the fact that unusual speculative activ-

Of this. Otherwise there is generally a

to such treatment, and the outlook
seemed desperate until Secretary Will

aside their American clothes and wear
their turbans and robes. So attired
they are promised the best railroad
