FINISH FAIR IN TEN DAYS
RECORD THAT JAMESTOWN COM
PANY HOPES TO MAKE.
Exposition Expert Says That in Many
Respects It Is the Fin { Since
the Chicago Worlds Fair.

NORFOLK, Va, May 21.-After a careful
three-day investigation of the jamestown
exposition, w. |. Buchanan. former direc-
tor-general of the pan-American exposition,
and probably the most eminent authority
on expositions in this country, in an inter-
view yesterday pronounces the jamestown
tercentennial, in it's architectural, landscape
and marine features the most beautiful ex-
position since the Chicago worlds fair.
With the 5000 workmen who are to be put
to work this week, he says that the EXPOSE
ton should be completed within ten, days
Mr.. Buchanan came to Norfolk to look
over the exposition ind make recommended
tons to the board of governors of plans
and methods for it's immediate completion.
This he has done.
In speaking OF the jamestown exposition.
Mr.. Buchanan said: There are certain fea-
lures of this exposition that | believe are
distinctly better in every sense than have
been found in any one exposition since Chi
cago, notably the government exhibits,
which excel for novelty and interest. The
states exhibit building and contents also
equal anything that | have seen made by
any states at other eNpositions, and in some
instances the exhibits are vastly better.
TOO much Importance has been attached
to the incompleten2ss of the exposition.
With decent weather, in the next ten days
there will be complete transformation in
what appears to the initiated as serious
Incompetence. Too much prominence has
been given to blemshes of minor impor-
lance, while appreciation has been lacking
Of the beautiful buildings and splendid
character of the exposition.
In his report to the exposition officials
Mr.. Buchanan recommended that no new
work be started, but all work now under
way be completed at once. This suggestion
will be carried out Mr.. Buchanan re-

Death by Gas Fissure on Vesuvius.

NAPLES, May H.-At Boscotrecase, on
the southern declivity of Mount Vesuvius,
assure suddenly opened yesterday, from
which poisonous gas escapes. A peasant
who imprudently approached the assure
was killed, and nine others who rushed to
his rescue and fell unconscious were saved
with difficulty. The new fissure resembles
the famous Dog Grotto, near Pozzuoli, SO
called because the carbonic acid gas from
it does not rise to a height sufficient to
kill men, but kills dogs or other small
animals that approach. The gas from the
new fissure, however, is light that it
rises to the height of five or six feet, and
carbineers have been posted in the vicinity
to prevent persons from going within the
danger zone.
