Late Corners Find All
Space Has Been Taken

At least five would-be exhibitors in
the commercial building at the Far
have been disappointed. Possibly,
probably, there are still others who
regret that they did not make an early
application for space. There certainly
will be such regretful ones during the
Fair and after it is over.
H. X. Duncan, head of the CONNER
cial exhibits department of the Fair,
said yesterday that he had received
five applications for space since the
building was sold out" The first of
these came from Pond & Company,
which desired to show automobiles.
Such application was mailed from Ho-
nolulu in ample time, but was ad-
dressed, by mistake, to a mainland
point. Result, when it got around TO
Maui all space had been allotted.
Since then there have come in four
other applications from concerns that
evidently thought they had Tots OF
time"

Ten Million Dollar
Libel Suit Opened
ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-The ten-mil-
liondollar libel suit instituted by the
city of Chicago against the Chicago
Tribune, believed to be the first in
stance in history where a municipal
ity has brought such an action, came
on trial this morning. Counsel for
the Tribune moved for dismissal and
presented a general demurrer based
on the necessity of upholding the
rights of newspapers under the con
stitution, the rights OF freedom of the
press.
The suit grew out of the publica,
tion OF articles in the Tribune prior
to the last municipal election in
which the paper attacked the admins
tration and, it is alleged, said the city
was bankrupt. The administration as
serted that such publications Were
false and that by reason of them the
city was rendered unable to float bond
issues for important Improvements.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS, Sept. 23-Despatches from
Mayence say that French government
chemists are holding Investigations
in an effort to determine whether the
disaster at Oppeau which killed per
haps as many as 1900 persons and in
jured between 1000 and 5000 was
caused by the manufacture in secret
of war munitions by the Germans.
Thus far, it is reported, the investi-

caused by spontaneous combustion
from decomposition of nitro-sulphate
of amonia the use whereof is a
source of wonder except as a fertili-
Zer.
Telegraphic advices from Berlin

100000 marks.
