WORLD'S FAIR DOINGS Yesterday's Meeting of the Board of Reference. PREPARING FOR VISITORS. Arranging for the Programmes of Ceremonies. Resolution from tha National Commissioners on General Mo-Ctelland'e Death. BOARD OF CONTROL.

Thomas M. Waller, ef Connecticut, is a member of the National Board of Control. Mr. Waller was ones Governor of th Stats in which he The influence which in duced President Palmer to nam Mr. WalUs as one of the very important committee of reference and control may be knows to Mr.

Waller, or it may not. At any rats, the sen- aieman irora uio nutmeg sunn from yesterday. It has long been a matter of much that Mr. Waller is not in the I T.ri 1 babit of regularly attending the moetings of the board of control. When, howerer, he does manage to neglect his private affairs long enough to some to Chicago be is always heard from.

Ia fact, the other members' of the board intimate that it is difficult to hear from any one else when Mr. Waller is in the city. He usually takes tip a great deal of time, and when the meet, tnga adjourn holds the record on speeches. Yesterday afternoon there was an important meeting held at World's Fair head quarters. Mr.

Waller was present It was an informal conference between the members of the National board of reference and con trol and the numbers of the local directory. who constitute the board of reference of that organisation. President Palmer was (n the chair, and the others present were Vice President McKen Bis ana Commissioners 8t Clair, Martindale, Maasey, Alien Waller and Mr. Lenan, who is en alternate for Mr. De Young, of Cali fornia.

Those of the directory who were there were President Baker and Directors Peck, Waller, Winston, Ellsworth, Ripley, and Schwab. In this meeting Mr. Waller, of Connects cut, took occasion to declare himself to be disgusted with the newspapers of Chicago, saying that the publication of certain mat ten concerning the Worlds Fair was, ia his opinion, digraceful and injurious to the interests of the exposition. Mr. Waller also took occasion to launch a oersonal attack on a hish official of the fair whom, he said, had been in the habit of at tending meetings of the board of control and other committees and then giving to the newspapers for publication, information supposed to be secret and known only to those who participated in what were supposed to be star chamber meetings.

"This man," said Mr. Waller, of Connect! cut. "has attended these meets and the next day the newspapers of Chicago hare printed matters which were discussed as private to the board. I know that none of the members of the board hare ever talked of them to re porters, and therefore it follows that this man has giren away the private affairs of the board." This was not all that Mr. Waller felt mored to remark, but when he finally did wind op his talk be was answered in a very lively fash-Ion by Commissioner Maasey, who evidently did not feel disposed to allow Mr.

Waller to take up all the time of the meeting in discussing his own Tersion of an affair that is directed and engineered by some gentlemen who are tiot at all friendly to the gentleman assailed by the ex-Governor of Connecticut, "Mr. Waller is mistaken," said a commissi oner after the adjournment. "Members of the board of control have talked out of meeting. I bare done so, snd whenever I feel so disposed I shall do so again. It is not right for the gentleman from Connecticut to make such sweeping charges.

I cou)d name several members of the board who talk to reporters, and also to others, but, of course, I do not know anything about the particular time to which Mr. Waller refers." The general impression was that Mr. Waller acted ia very bad taste, to say the least, in -snaking the charges against a man who is Working not talking for lbs fair, and the cc'mmissioncrs were not at all averse to disease the tirade launched against the gentleman in question. At the meeting the matters covering transportation, administration and installation were generally discussed, and with the adop- 1 won ui um luiiDwiuM nwiuuua uia ksbiuu adjourned 1 lieaolvrd. That a committee of this infor- mal conference be appointed by the Preei- dent, to, be composed of three members of the board of control of the commission and three of the committee of control of the expo-X sition, for the purpose of obtaining inform a-ltion, of transportation, installation, and ai-t ministration, and report such information to tbe meeting of this informal conference to be held Saturday at 10 o'clock's, m.

When the board of control met in session in the morning in President Palmer's rooms Commissioner Maasey submitted a resolution in reference to suitable ceremonies to be arranged to fittingly mark the inauguration of the exposition at its opening in May, 1893, the board having determined upon and form-- ulated an adequate plan and programme for the dedicatory oeremoniee in October. It is probable now that a programme of Ceremonies, including sn oration by some distinguished American, will mark the open ing of the exposition. The board, therefore, resolved that the committee on oeremoniee consider the subject as specdiiy as possible and formulate a report as to its progress on a programme. The board then heard from General Oroner. chairman of the committee on tariff and transportation of the National commission who talked of transportation matters.

No action was taken on General Groner's report. During the remainder of the session ths re port of Director General Davis was heard. and also two or three supplementary reports from the same source, on matters called for by the board, bat no notion was taken on any of the reports made by Colonel Davis. To-day at 10 o'clock the board will meet again and take some action on the Director General's reports. TO HONOR THE QUESTS.

ON CEREMONIES.

The committee on ceremonies of the National Commission met yesterday, in re sponse to a call made by President Palmer. There -were present Commissioners Adams, Allen, Keogh, Oroner, and Barber. The Secretary submitted an abstract of the minutes of the committee from Hs organisa tion to the present time core nng the action of joint committees to the special sub-com mittees. The report was very fully consid ered and the action of the committee gener ally approved of. There was some discussion over the powers which had been given to the sub-committee by resolutions introduced by Mr.

Keogh at the meeting in October, but It was decided that the committee had not exceeded the powers conferred upon them by the resolutions. The action of the committee in selecting Mr. Breckinridge as orator was approved of. and a general discussion took place regarding the advisability of charging admission to the dedicatory ceremonies in October. This mat ter having been broached by members of the Committee on World's Columbian Exposi Uon, she committee took a recess for the purpose of having a consultation with the board of control regarding it.

It was the unanimous opinion of the committee that there should be no charge for admission during the ceremonies of Oct. 12, the day especially selected for the dedication of tbe buildings. This matter, however, was not fully decided upon, as there is a general de sire to confer with the members of tbe local committee, and, if possible, to concur with their views. Tbe secretary of the committee was directed to request tbe committee on ceremonies of the exposition to meet with them in joint session at 3 clock p. m.

The unanimous opinion prevailed that the ''Pageant of the Centuries be so arranged that it can be re produced at the ceremonies which have been ageeed upon at the opening of the exposition in May, 1893. 1 RESOLUTIONS OK CONDOLENCE.

VICTORY FOR VIRTUE. At JO o'clock yesterday afternoon Chief McClaughry took a stub pen, dipped it in red ink, and wrote across the back of Lieutenant Steele's report on the West Sida carrou sel these words: This report, together with tbe accompany ing papers the case, is respectfully referred to his Honor, the Mayor, with the recom mendation that tbe license of the carrousel ituated at Koe. 603 and 605 West Madison street be revoked for tbe reasons named herein. W. McClavohbt, "General Superintendent, Teh, p.

mm." This done, the papers were immediately dispatched by messenger to Mayor Wash. burne, who will to-day instruct Chief McClaughry to close the place. It was so tele yesterday afternoon when the Mayor received the recommendation that he thought it best to delay action until to-day. When this is done the curtain will be rung down in the carrousel drama and the publio will not ask that IT BB miO rrp AOAUf. It will be seen that Chief McClaughry has recommended the revocation of the license of but oca of the West Madison street car.

rouse la tbe one near Ashland boulevard. Had it not been for the fact that the directors of the merry-go-round near Oakley avenue had already cloeed their place, it would have received the same treatment. 'As I have received a written notice from the directors, saying that they had determined to close the place permanently, it would not have been courteous to them for me to recommend the revocation of the license," the Chief said. "The place is closed for good, snyway. Had not the directors closed it I would have made the suns recommendation in regard to it as I did with the other." It was rumored yesterday that ths directors of tbe place near Ashland boulevard had decided to save Chief McClaughry tbe trouble of acting in the matter, by closing tbe carrousel themselves, Just ss the Oakley avenue people.

Whether there was any truth in the rumor is not known. THB (Un HAD HSABD IT, bat when the hoar grew lata and there was no substantiation of in fact, he determined to wait no longer and end the matter at once so far as he is concerned. The testimony given at the meeting of tbe various parties interested the day before had been typewritten, and this the Chief had read carefully. He was pretty well satisfied from hearing the evidence against the carrousels that they were bad resorts, but there' were Jwo or three points he wanted to refresh his mem ory on, so be tutu tbe evidence written out full. As soon as he had read this be made his rec ommendation to the Mayor.

If there was any inclination on the pert of the directors to submit gracefully to the inevitable, and close the Ashlnnd avenue car rousel themselves, Mr. Green, the manager of that institution knew nothing whatever of it last night. A reporter ritited the plaoe at 9 clock and it was running after the accustomed fashion. There was not much of a crowd present and those that were there seemed to realize that they were spending A LAET BTBSIKa AT THB BBSOBT. Mr.

Green said "I have not beard anything from Chief Mo- Claughry since the meeting yesterday morn ing, and I do not know what conclusion he has reached. I do not know, either, what the directors of the carrousel intend to do. I went down town to see them to-day, but I failed to find them." However, no matter what they had intended doing, the Chief of Police and the Mayor have relieved them from any -responsibility or credit in tbe matter of closing the place. Tbis case has resulted aa everybody who has followed the facta has expected, and as almost everybody else has hoped it would result. There is no need to review tbe mass of damaging testimony made against these laces by many of the most reputable persons vina in those neighborhoods ail that has appeared in Tub Istkb Occam during the last two weeks.

Suffice it to say that this evidence, coming as it did from persons of unquestionable in tegrity, was conclusive, and on the strength of it the authorities nave deemed it best to close the places, thus removing one more pit-fall irom we patii oi THB YOnwQ 0 THB CTTT. After he bad sent the papers to the Mayor yesterday alternoon hiet McClaughry said I recum mended uie revocation of the license for the reasons given in tbe petitions again the places and in tbe police report. Fromueso and from the testimony made before me Wednesday 1 nave concluded that the carruueels are very demoralising in their results, and for the good of tbe communities in which they are located they should be closed. And closed they are, or will be, within a very few hours. SIGNED FREDA.

Mrs. Fannie Cartright hut November, has charKe of the present case, Yejterdny he failed to bring forward any evidence that would establish tha identity of the woman or of the man who said to have dragged her to the hallway where she was found.

Strange as it may seem, tha young Deputy Coroner made no attain pt to follow tho lead given him yesterday morning by The IstA Ocbab. Last evening, however, be followed tbe instruction of his chief and adjourned the inquest until Feb. 19. In tbe meantime Coroner Herts will see that a strict investigation ia made.

He replied that there was nothing whatever in the "Is it tbe duty of a coroner or deputy coroner to constitute himself a judge to decide whether there is anything in a case be fore the evidence has been beard? the Coroner was asked. 'Ko, ws are expected to fully investigate but are often hampered in our work.

I do not doubt, however, that the identification made by Mrs.

Smith was correct. "I will see that competent detectives are detailed on tbe case to work up the evidence. If a murder has been I hope that the perpetrators can be brought to justice."

A reporter forTnalKTCB Ocs! was more fortunate. Mrs. Smith was found at her home at Ko. 376 Center street, and when shown tbe article published yesterday, she aaid "That ts correct in nearly every particular, am sure that I made no mistake in the id ntmcation, although I bought -the cloak was longer than the one Mrs. Falconer wore when shs was here.

The features of tbe face were the same, but still there was a peculiar look that puzxled me. I thnk that was caused by the I pel tn the bands of the doctor who made the examination. Iam now thoroughly convince that the body is that of Mrs. Talconer." Have any detectives been to you to m- quire4nto your knowledge of the cane?" Mrs. Smith was asked.

No, none of them has been here. Per haps what I know is of little importance." However, late last evening Detectives Crowe and Ean saw Mr. Smith and from her obtained suhs'antially the same story given in Tsn Ihtbb Ocbxh yetsterday morning.

She and Ada Bell, of o. 1 Green street, were walk ing south on the ea-t tide of Franklin street, between Lake and Randolph streets, about 8 o'clock Monday evening. Their attention was attracted as they came opposite No.

Honk, of the Third Ohio District, has forwarded to President Baker a letter in wbicb are many able arguments why Congress should do all in its power for ths fair by appropriating all that ia necessary. In his letter the Congressman says "When the honor of the country is involved in war there ia no Umit to the power of any Congress to appropriate whatever sums may be needed for its vindication.

Why should there be a limit placed upon that power when the honor of the country is involved in time of peace? National honor involves ths standing of the Republic in tbe opinion of tbe world. 'When it is necesiary to vindicate that standing by the display of our resources as a war power tbe sacrifice of material interests to any extent required is made without hesitation and complaint. 'When it ia necessary to vindicate by il lustrating the function and administrative faculty of the government' in time of peace, snd to 'demonstrate the nature of our institutions and their adaptation to the wants of the not by tbe sacrifice, but by the promotion of material interests, how tm it that then only it becomes inexpedient or unconstitutional to make the necessary and proper appropriation of public money to meet the exigency? But is such appropriation necessary and proper? "It is clear to every intelligent man who ill take time to investigate the situation. that tbe proportions and scope of tbis magnificent enterprise, have already rone far be yond the views entertained at its inception. It is not a m-rely AationaL scarcely a merely international exposition.

It is one of those grand demonstrations, that. Like the event it com me mo rates, marks aa era in human civilization. The World's Columbian Exposition mill take its place to mark the highest point attained in human progress. It will cast a new luster upon the discovery of America itself. It is destined to be the great object lesson of the nineteenth century ia the material, intellectual, and moral progiess of the race.

'It is idle to bilk of such a demonstration being characterized as a merely local affair, or made to serve tbe pecuniary interests of the city in which it has been ordained to take place. "To Chicago may be conceded a glory sur passing, tn many respects, tbat of any city either ia ancient or modern history, and that the spirit, enterprise, and liberality she has displayed in this great undertaking deserve the unqualified indorsement of American public opinion, aa it will doubtless compel tbe wonder and admiration of the nations of ths world; but with all her splendor and greatness she 13 not great enough or grand enough to give its title to the World's Colum bian Exposition. "Chicago does not come to Congress is the attitude of a supplicant. She Simply asks the inspection of what has been accomplished. and what is in the course of accomplisbmeat, She but asks what a juat and enlightened American opinion will not deny that is, the credit she honestly deserves for the gigantic efforts she has already mads in the rest.
