every structure in that area, leaped
north across Jacksen and wrecked the
twenty-enc-stery Chicago, Burlington

driven by a strong wind, 1t dipped eer
Van Buren street southward and burned
nearly through te Harrison street.

Mm m- Mnnie Imlnv offered te Victer
l Rosewater the pest of assistant te the
piesident of Hie Scqul-U'iilennial as
sociation nt $7r,00 a jcur.
I Tills was after a meeting of the
directors of the nssoclatlen had dis
approved of a selection of Mr. Rose Rese
water ns director of publicity for the
fair, and decided that he might Bcrve
te greater usefulness in another ca
pacity, j
Mr. Rescwntcr, after he had been)
Informed of the Mayer's efTcr, asked
for a few days te consider. It Is preb- I
nble that he will announce his decision '
before the end of the week. I
Objection In Committee
When Mr. Roevntcr was chosen a
short time age by the Majer te fill tliei
pest of publicity director, objection wns
made by Themas Robins, of the Stutci
committee en the exposition, who held i
that the State organization should have
been consulted before a decision wns
reached in connection with the selec
tion of a man for such an Important
pest.
Others joined in this objection. This
l licllcvivl te hnvp caused the fair
directors te decide thnt Mr. Rosewater '
should net at present be publicity dl-
rector, but should receive n different
place In the service of the association.
Mr. Rescwater's duties ns asi'iM'tnt
te Mr. Moero were net defined, 'wit It1
Is thought thnt he will nt le.'u-t tem
porarily leek after publicity affairs un
til the. permanent organization for the
international fair Is completed.
