GARE OF VISITORS
TO WORLD'S FAIR
Problem Which Is Now Receiving
the Serious Attention of the
Exposition Management.
HO NEW HOSTELRIES PLANNED,
Statistics Show Thai Chicago Had
170 Hotels, With 0.000 Rooms,
to Accommodate the
Floating Population.
Hotel accommodation for the visiting
thousands at the World's B'alr are a ques
tion being seriously considered by the Ex
ecutive Committee of the Exposition. An
unofficial statement by a high officer of the
executive division of the Fair tends to show
that the conditions for taking care of -visitors
arc viewed with Intense interest by the
Exposition management.
He is authority for the statement that the
Committee- is aware of the Inadequacy of
the hotel accommodation- of the city The
committee is understood to be devising some
plan by which visitors will Ilnd comfort
and pleasure In their stay.
He points out that not one hotel has been
planned with a view to taking iare of
World's Tulr business. Stalktlia in the
possession of the Exposition managers show
that in Chicago about 170 hotels were built
during the two years preceding the exposi
tion period, and that tluse buildings had a
rating of about 60 rooms. The building
nctivttv was ascribed In tho realty reioris
of that city to preparations for World's
Fair crowds.
Inquiries made by romo cf the Exposi
tion officials at the several hotels of the
city have convinctd them that these ho.nel
rle) are overcrowded jt this season. They
have discovered that travelers are turned
away every night for want accommoda
tion. In Exposition circles the hottl prob
lem has come to be regarded as the most
serious of the many Issues which the city
will have to meet in preparing for the en
tertainment of her visitors from all parts
of the world.
"Under present conditions." said this of
ficial, "the first live or ten thousand visitor
would swamp the town. The first Ilvo or
ten thousand could do Inestimable harm by
leaving the cltv In dlbcust over lack of ar- f
commodation That sirt of advertising is ,
not desired for the World's Tnlr. Build
lng l not on the boom In St. Iyoute right
now. A mistaken Impression prevails that
we have a building boom, caused by World's
1-alr activity There are not enough places
in the city to take care of the present popu
lation in the way many ,persons want to
be accommodated
"It is necessity to attract outside capital.
Then, there might be stjme assurance that
the great floating population drawn hither
by the World's 4'air would stand some
show of being accommodated. Home capital
Is not taking steps to meet the emergency.
Tho cltv and the townspeople have sub
scribed J10.OM.000 toward the Exposition and
they may And some excuse in preferring to
let tho hotel business alone. Hut there
fhould be sufficient inducement in it. as an
Investment, for outside capital. The Es
lu "?." authorities realize what confronts
them.
l'ALACE OF TRAIVSI'ORTATIOX.
Dcslcn of the Immense Structure Has
Ilccn Completed.
Chief Designer Masqueray has flrJshed the
design of the immense Palace of Transpor
tation. It will cover fifteen and one-half
acres, contain four miles of railway tracks
and exceed In size any of the Exposition
buildings, with the exception of the Pal
aco cf Agriculture.
The Transportation Palace will stretch
1,300 feet along Undell boulevard and have
a frontage of SI0 feet on Sklnker road. It
is in the northwest corner of the great pic
ture made by the main exhibit palace. Di
rector of Works Taj lor gave to the design
ers the basic ideas for the building more
than a month ago.
Its distinguishing feature is the massing
of three entrance wajs so that they form
nn arcade which will take up almost the
entire S25 feet of the facade on the cast
and west sides. On the north and south
sides these entrance ways are placed in
the center. The facades will be treated in
the style of the French Renaissance. It will
combine the prevailing tyre of the Expo
sition architecture with that of high-class
railway depots on the European Continent,
Lach of the arches is to be 61 feet wide
and 52 feet high, through which fourteen
permanent rnllway tracks will be laid from
end to end of the building. Pylons or tow
ers set off the entrances. Each pylon will
reach a height of li feet, to the base of
their crowning statues Statuary Is placed
In front and at the base of the main piers
at the sides of the entrances, affording op
portunity for sixteen groups, which will Il
lustrate transportation In all its phases.
The architect has subdued the use of
sculpture in the building, depending on
mass effects and on the grouping of the
manses in other words, on architecture
rather than on tawdry decorations. The
entire width of the structure will be
spanned by five well-designed trusses. Day
light for the building will be introduced
through monitor windows over each span
of the Ave 'trusses'
No court will break up the building. Nov
el disposition of the toilet-rooms of the
building Is made by placing them in the
bases of the projecting pvlons. At the
east end a gallery 20 feet In width extends
across the building, affording a place for
guardrooms and for tho office of the De
partment Chief.
GKXERAL SCIIE3IE CHANGED.
Locations of World's Fair Architec
tural Divisions Shifted.
Locations of tho several great architec
tural divisions of i"he World's Fair have
undergone another change. It Is now pro
posed to place tho national pavilions of for
'Pi Governments on the open area of tho
TVashington University tract, between the
Administration building and Sklnker road.
This will do away with the former plan
Jo make a Btreet of nations along LIndell
boulevard. In tho event that the Expooitlon
Company secures tho Catlln tract, through
condemnation or that ground, the Depart
ment of Works is in favor of placing the
Palace of Agriculture, Horticulture, Educa
tion, Fish, Forostry and Game and the
live stock exhibit on that territory.
The military reservation for troops of
all nations probably will be located on tho
level area. SOT to 1.C0O feet In extent, be
tween LIndell boulevard and the Palace of
Varied Industries and Manufactures. This
is the only available space left In the gen
eral scheme of apportionment as made by
the. Department of Works, -which has
through tho Grounds and BulliLngs Com
mittee, almost exclusive right to divide the
grounds.
State and Territorial mansions will bo lo
cated on the wooded plateau running back
from the main picture of exhibit palaces
to the southern boundary of tho site. This
apportionment has been made definitely. It
was the Intention of the Department of
Yvorks. to place the proposed Hall of Phi
lanthropy on the last of the hills forming
the plateau, near Sklnker road, but the
failure of the Women's Federated Clubs
to indorse the plan leaves that desirable lo
cation free.
Where the Philippine exhibit and the
Midway are to be placed, is a puzzle to the
Exposition management. It is known that
the Department of Works has signified that
even with the acquisition of the Catlln
tract not enough land would bo at the dis
position of the department. It Is likely
that measures will be taken to secure ad
ditional territory to the west of the site.
TUllKEr AT THE WORLD'S FAIR.
Constantinople Paper Announce Tlint
Government "Will Take l'art.
Marked copies of the Oriental .Advertiser
of Constantinople, which have been re
ceived at the Administration building, con
tain this announcement: "The imperial Gov
ernment has decided to participate in the
International Exposition at St. Louis and
to send a commission. The merchants and
manufacturers of the Ottoman Empire will
be encouraged to send exhibits to this Ex
position." No official Information of the intention of
the Turkish Government has been received
by the Exposition management through the
Department of State at Washington, but
the announcement In the Constantinople
paper Is not doubted, as the American Min
ister at the Porto has intimated heretofore
that an official acceptance of the invitation
by the United States would soon be made.
To Take TJp irro Exhibit.
A. H. Frederick, chairman of the special
committee to which was referred the mat

has been invited to present his recommen

building.

DRUMMERS' PLAN FOR ADVERTISING THE FAIR;
SIMPLY SIGN "1904" AFTER NAMES ON HOTEL REGISTER.
repurlc special.
Kansas City, Mo.. May 2L There Is no such word as St. Louis in the written
vocabulary of traveling men these days. The moment a traveling man from St.
Louis arrives in town ho begins talking about the coming World's Fair, and be
fore he Is through one would be convinced that the greatest exhibition ever held
In the world is being prepared. But the traveling man never writes St. Louis
after his name when he registers. That would be too commonplace. He writes
"S. Jacques, 1S04." as one man did at the Savoy Hotel this morning, and when vis
itors look at the register they invariably ask: "What decs 1004 mean?"
"He's from St. Louis," the clerk informs the visitor. "There's to be a World's
Fair in 1S01. See?"
So the Fair Is advertised, and the traveling man has accomplished the purpose
of his life he has started a discussion.

NEW VICE PRESIDENT
FOR COLONIAL TRUST
Roard of Directors to Fill a Va
cancy New Secretary for
the Germauia.
A special meeting of the Board of Di
rectors of the Colonial Trust Company has
been called for this afternoon to elect a
first vice president to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Isaac Schwab. A
caucus of directors yesterday practically
agreed that an advance In the list of vice
presidents would be made and that the new
vice president would be William H. Walker
of the Ely & Walker Dry Goods Company,
who was recently elected a member of
the Executive Board.
The Germania Trust Company directors
have formally elected Thomas II. Wagner,
Insurance Commission of Missouri, secre
tary of that institution, to succeed Fred
erick Gabel. The new secretary will as
sume the duties of the office next Satur
day. Mr. Gabel said yesterday that he had
accepted a position with a local business
house, which he will take immediately after
leaving the Germania. Ho would not state
what bis new connection would be.
It was announced jesterday that Morris
Glaser and Henry Ittlcson are soon to en
ter into partnership In the stock and bond
brokerage business. The new concern will
do business under the name of eraser &
Co. Mr. Ittleson was formerly manager of
the Famous Department Store. He has
been In the brokerage business here for
somo time and is popular among the mem
bers' of the St. Louis Stock Exchange.
While it was Impossble to obtain official
confirmation of the report that the Na
tional Bank of Commerce is about to ab
sorb the Continental National Bank cs
terday, general credence was given the re
port among local financiers. So firm was
the belief that the deal was neanng com
pletion that the question was generally
asked: "When will the actual consolidation
be effected?" Offlclnls of both banks re-
Iterate their denials that any consolidation
scheme Is being contemplated.
Members of the Schwab Clothing Com
pany have as yet taken no action looking
toward tho election of a president to suc
ceed the late Isaac Schwab. It Is not like-
I ly that tho vacant office will bo filled before
the end of May. The probabilities are that
L. J. Schwab, the present vice president,
will be chosen to succeed the veteran St.
Louis merchant. .

FRANCIS WAXTS CLEAN CITY.
Inspectors Orderiatr Allejs and Ynrds
Cleared of Rubbish.
Assistant t Health Commissioner Francis
has detailed a force of inspectors to ex
amine yards and allevs in the heart of the

free from unhealty rubbish before the
weather becomes less tolerable. Inspectors
will order families and firms to keep jards .

The health of the city depends, especial

public cleanliness. If no garbage or rub- I
bish Is thrown in streets, allejs and yards I
mere is less prospect that tne atmospnere
will be contaminated through the fermenta

AFRICAN M. E. CHURCH ASKS
FOR PART OF WAR CLAIM.
Bishop Isaac Lane Flies Demand (or
furs.aoo on Ground Tbat Ills Chnrch
Is Offspring; of .11. E. Church, South.
REPfPLlC SPECIAL.
Dallas, Tex, May a. It was learned to
night that Bishop Isaac Lane of the Afri
can Methodist Episcopal Church In America,
to-day filed with Bishop Hendrlx of Kansas
City, for the College of Bishops, a claim
to 125,000 of the noted war-claim money for
the Church of which he Is a Bishop.
The African Methodist Episcopal Church
In America claims to be a Fart of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. South, and on
that ground Is entitled to a share In tho
war claim. Members of the General Con
ference, however, dispute the claim. They
state that while the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, did "set up in business" the
negro church referred to. and gave it a
"grub stake" of a quarter of a million
dollars to start with, still it had no proper
ty to lose during the war and was In no
wise Identified with the war-claim matter.
During his fraternal address to the Gen
eral Conference to-day. Bishop Lane fre
quently and suggestively spoke of his
church as "your only legal black child." He
concluded his remai3 with the equally
suggestive statement: "If you have a loaf,
don't forget to give a piece to your little
black child."
