FAIR DIRECTORS DISCUSS AUDITING OF ACCOUNTS. Committee Appointed to Draft an Auditing System and Submit Plans Within Two -Philip J. Markmann of Chicago Is Chosen Chief Building Engineer of the Exposition -Kansas City Takes Great Interest. PLANS FOR OBTAINING APPROPRIATION FROM MONTANA. The method to be employed in auditing the accounts of the Louisiana Purchase position Company was the principal 1 topic of discussion at the meeting of the Executive Committee, held at World's Fair headquarters yesterday.

President D. R. Francis, who presided, announced that the affairs of the company had reached a stage where it was imperative that a definite plan be decided upon for keeping its books. It developed in the course of the discussion that an exposition company uses a system of accounting entirely different from that of large mercantile corporations, and that in forming an Accounting Department provision would have to be made to handle the various pecullarities which will arise. A resolution was adopted to appoint a committee to prepare an auditing system.

President Francis made the following appointments on the committee: C. G. Warner, vice ce president of the Missouri Pacific; Breckenridge Jones, vice president of the Mississippi Valley Trust Company, and J. C. Van Blarcom, cashier of the National Bank of Commerce, all members of the Board of Directors of the Fair.

These gentlemen will undertake the work in hand at once, and will report to the Executive Committee within the next two weeks. The by-laws of the company provide for the appointment of a chief auditing officer. This position will be filled 1m- mediately upon the adoption of the report of the Committee on Auditing. In formulating its report the committee will take Into consideration the distinctive features of exposition expenditures, requisitions, checks and vouchers suitable to the present needs. PHILIP J.

MARKMANN CHIEF BUILDING ENGINEER. Philip J. Markmann of Chicago has been appointed Chief Building Engineer of the Exposition by Director of Works Isaac S. Taylor, subject to the approval of the Executive Committee. As the selection of Mr.

Markmann is purely one to All a technical position, calling for superior engineering knowledge, his appointment by the Director of Works is decisive. Mr. Markmann and his family have removed to St. Louis, to take up their residence here for the next year and a half, during the construction period of the Exposition. The appointment is an important one, as the Chief Building Engineer has immediate supervision of all the structural work on the exhibit buildings.

Director of Works Taylor is highly pleased that he has been able to secure the services of Engineer Markmann, who holds an enviable reputation among the structural engineers of the country. For many years he was the structural steel engineer for the Snead Co. Iron Works of Louisville, Ky. Many of the most conspicuous public buildings in Chicago and other cities of the country have been erected under his direction. Recently he became engaged in business for himself in Chicago.

R. W. Clendenning and C. D. Parker, secretary and vice president, respectively, of the Kansas City Commercial Club, were in St.

Louis yesterday for the purpose of inviting President Francis and Commissioner John Allen to attend the annual banquet of their organization, to be given on December 19. The banquet is given to commemorate the John Jay treaty. President Francis accepted for himself and Mr. Allen, and notifled the latter by wire of his action. President Francis will respond at the banquet to the sentiment, "The LouisJana Purchase Exposition." Mr.

Allen will also speak, but the subject of his talk has not yet been decided upon, KANSAS CITY IS ENTHUSIASTIO OVER FAIR. Messrs. Clendenning and Parker said yesterday that the citizens of Kansas City were as enthusiastic over the World's Fair as St. Louisans, and that the disposition of all the leading business men was in favor of making a creditable showing. The Commercial Club is heading the World's Fair movement, and a special committee has been appointed by that organization to recommend plans for a Kansas City exhibit.

"The feeling of Kansas City toward St. Louis and Governor said Mr. Clendenning, "is exceedingly favorable, We are taking advantage of our annual banquet to have Governor Francis address our leading business men and renew their interest in the Fair. The Commercial Club will do valuable work in aiding the enterprise. Its members will work throughout the West just as If they were residents of St.

Louis. "As yet no definite plan has been arranged for the Kansas City exhibit. There was some talk of having a separate exhibit for the city. This has been abandoned, as we have learned that in competing for prizes our displays would have a better chance if placed alongside those of other cities. It ig probable that Kansas City will erect a building of its own, but this will simply serve as a rendezvous for Kansas Cityans, and will contain no displays.

We will doubtless have a complete display of our meatpacking industry, which has become 50 important in the last few years." Advices received at World's Fair headquarters yesterday indicate that interest in the World's Fair is growing rapidly in Montana. Nearly all the members of the Legislature of that State have written to Governor J. K. Toole signifying their willingness to serve without pay if he calls a special session for the purpose of making an appropriation with which to exhibit the State's resources at the Fair. State Senator Harry Meyers of Montana, formerly a resident of Missouri, in responding to Governor Toole's request for views of legislators on the subject of an extra session, said: "I think the plan suggested by Senator Cullen of calling upon the members of the Legislature to convene in extra session without cost to the State, and to donate their time and services long enough to make an appropriation for a State exhibit by far the best and only feasible one yet suggested for representation by the State at the coming World's Fair.

It is certainly far superior to any plan yet suggested, and I am heartily in favor of it." COMMSSIONER BARRETT REPORTS FROM MEXICO. John Barrett, World's Fair Commissioner to Asia and Australia, who is attending the Pan-American Congress in the City of Mexico, has written the following letter to President Francis relative to participation by Japan In the Fair: I have the honor to report certain matters In connection with the possible participation of Japan in the World's Fair, which will be of interest to the Foreign Affairs Committee. First. I received 8 long letter from Mr. Toshiro Fujita, Consul General of Japan, in Chicago, explaining fully why Marquis Ito was unable to come to St.

Louts in response to the vitation of Marquis President is much Francis, in interested which in he the states Louthat the isiana Purchase Exposition and will recommend It for his Government's favorable consideration. He further states that he, himself, AS Consul General, will urge his Government to take part on a large scale. Second. I have received a letter from the United States Consul General at Yokohama, Mr. Bellows, in which he says that he will be glad to assist in every way possible the efforts to secure the interest of Japan and its participation in the Exposition, Third.

Since arriving in Mexico, It has been my privilege to see several times the Minister of Japan to this country, Mr. Sato. He is one of the strongest men in the Japanese Foreign Service, and he has nesured me that he will use his influence to interest his country in the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. When Mexico determines upon participation, he will report her action fully to his Government as A supporting influence. WHITE HOUSE ARCHITECT TALKS OF WORLD'S FAIR Colonel Theodore A.

Bingham, who as superintendent of buildings and grounds at Washington has charge of the White House and the Washington Monument, is in St. Louis on personal business. From 1885 to 1889 Mr. Bingham was secretary of the Missouri River Commission and during the four years lived in St. Louis.

hears good deal of talk in the East about the World's Fair and judging from the send-off that it is getting, it is going to be a pretty big affair," said the Colonel. "There is just one thing that the builders of the Exposition ought to bear in mind and that is not to be too extravagant with building decorations. My experience in making improvements at the White House is that ideas of architects often overreach the appropriations for work, especially when It is in the direction of something bordering on the display." Colonel Bingham says that it is always a good piece of economy to watch the They are the persons that spend the A Coffee Coffee Coffee Pots Machines and of Demonstration. Every Known Almost Kind. Every day this week in our House Furnishing Store, at 10 o'clock, we will have a demonstration showing how to get the best results when making coffee.

St. Garlas they will do this and believe that they will profit by the experience that other expositions have had, especially with enthusiastic architects." There are now under consideration some improvements for enlarging the White House, as Its present accommodations are not sufficient for the growing needs of the executive. Colonel Bingham says that in these matters he finds it necessary to keep restraint upon the architects to prevent them from carrying into effect of their ideas, which are always pretty, but not often practical.

I am sure that BLAMES POLITICIANS AND THE FEE SYSTEM President of Wardens' Association Declares Both Are Drawbacks to Prison Reform. BOTH MUST BE ELIMINATED. Says Prison Management Cannot Reach Its Highest Development Until the Ward Heelers Are Throttled.

Kansas City, Nov. delivering his annual address before the Wardens' Association at the congress here to-day of the National Prison Association Otis Fuller, president of the association and superintendent of the Michigan State Reformatory, said: good citizen must stand by the State institution and not by the political plunderer." Mr. Fuller had spoken of the mighty strides America had made in the past decade and asked: "Is prison management keeping up with the procession?" Continuing, he said: "I think that in most respects it 1s. I am sure that in one respect it is not. I refer now to the political brigandage which is still prevalent in a few States--the bold, bad brigandage which ruthlessly seizes not only the prisons but all the other public Institutions and holds them for political ransom.

Honest, efficient, wise and humane prison management cannot reach its highest stage of development until the outraged taxpayers and the humanitarian take the ward heeler by the throat." Denounces Fee System. Mr. Fuller said that prison reform must start further back than the prison. It must educate the lawmakere. "It must, above all," said he, "wipe out the pernicious fee system which gives the Constables so many dollars for arresting a fellow-citizen, the Justice of the Peace so many dollars for convicting him, and the Sheriff so many cents a day for feeding him or starving him, as his humanity or avarice may dictate." The fee system, he declared, was a blot on the fair pages of the Twentieth Century.

Mr. Fuller urged a more intelligent discrimination between first offenders and hardened criminals. Other Addresses. J. T.

Contests Before Next Year's Conventions Bid Fair to Be Spirited. HOT CAMPAIGN FOR SENATOR. Supreme Judgeship Also Offers Attractions--Legislators Will Have Much Important Work to Perform. Every county in Missouri already is demonstrating keen interest in the various political contests that focus on the two Democratic State conventions to be held next summer and the State election, which will take place next November. Candidates for important offices will be chosen in the two conventions.

The State Senators and Representatives to be elected next autumn will, according to the State Constitution, perform important roles in the new General Assembly in the selection of a United States Senator. These facts constitute the chief reasons for the importance attached throughout the entire State to the conventions and the election. The Judicial Convention will nominate three candidates for Judges of the Missouri Supreme Court. Two candidates for membership in the Railroad Commission and one candidate for State Superintendent of Public Schools will be determined by the Democratic State Nominating Convention. Districts and counties will nominate seventeen candidates for the House of Representatives.

Democrats in the Eastern Judicial District will nominate a candidate for the St. Louts Court of Appeals. In addition to this, counties will have individual interest in their home tickets. Election of a United States Senator, to serve for a term of six years, will devolve upon the next General Assembly, the majority vote of the State Senate and House of Representatives to decide. Up to this time William Joel Stone of St.

Louis County and Champ Clark of Bowling Green, Pike County, have enlisted a preponderance of public attention, but the general impression is that W. H. Wallace of Independence, Jackson County; H. S. Priest of St.

Louts and D. A. De Armond of Butler, Bates County, will also enter the race. Ten candidates are expected to compete for the three nominations for Judges of the Supreme Court. The names 80 far mentioned are: G.

D. Burgess of Linneus, Linn County: Leroy B. Valiant of St. Louis; T. A.

Sherwood of Springfield, Greene County; James D. Fox of Fredericktown, Madison J. L. Fort of Dexter, Stoddard County; Edwin Jefferson City, Cole County: J. H.

Halllburton of of Carthage, Jasper County; A. M. Woodson seph, Buchanan County; Noah M. Given of Harrisonville, Cass County, and M. Hughes of Montgomery City, Montgomery County.

For the two vacancies in the Railroad Commission five candidates are understood to be rivaling. One Commissioner will serve for four years, the other for six. St. Louis will have one candidate in Timothy J. Hennessey.

Joseph P. Rice, at present filling the unexpired term of Commissioner Harrington, who died, will seek renomination. Mr. Rice is from Moberly, Randolph County. The other candidates are: Major W.

Park of Platte City, Platte County; Thomas M. Maguire of De Soto. Jefferson County, and W. B. Boneau of Clinton, Henry County.

W. T. Carrington of Springfeld, the present incumbent, is a candidate for State Superintendent of Public Schools. No candidate for Judge of the St. Louts Court of Appeals has appeared, and it is thought that Judge Shepard Barclay may have no opposition, judging from existing indications.

State Senators will be elected by the following districts: Second, Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, Tenth, Twelfth, Fourteenth. Sixteenth, Eighteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-second, Twenty-fourth, Twenty-sixth, Twentyeighth, Thirtieth, Thirty-second and Thirtyfourth. Republicans represented only four of these districts in the last Senate, namely, the Fourth. Twentieth, Thirtieth and Thirty-fourth. Of the seventeen hold-over Senators, twelve are Democrats and five Republicans.

In the last House of Representatives there were eighty-eight Democrats, fiftyone Republicans and one Populist; in all 140. The next House will consist of 142 Representatives, as the reapportionment act allows one additional Representative to St. Louis City and one to Jasper County. St. Louis City will elect sixteen Representatives, Buchanan County four, Greene County two.

Jackson County six, Jasper County three, St. Louis County two, and each of the other counties one. Probably the State Central Committee will soon grant consideration, from practical and legal standpoints to the suggestions for either State or county primaries for nominating the United States Senator. The proposition for State primaries seems to meet with but scant favor. Controversion of county home rule is the strongest objection, on practical and suffrage lines, raised against the State primaries plan.
