BUILDING SPACE IS FREE Liberal Policy Adopted by llio Exposition Eiccutivo Committee , ALL STATES AND NATldNS MAY NOW COME Hiiln i\lilliltM : CliniiKiMl In ( lie I'rumtnrc on the 'Main ' HtillilltiKi "ml Allow , lllllj- ( II SlllltV. At the meeting of the executive commit tee ot the exposition nt the Mlllard hotel ye.itcrCay afternoon a radical departure was Inaugurated In the policy which has obtained heretofore regarding charging states and governments of foreign countries for space on which toerect * buildings of their owni and Instal therein exhibits of their resources. Hereafter all states outs'ldo of the transmls- slsslppl region find all foreign governments dcalrlng to erect buildings , cither for head quarters or for Installing collective exhibits , will bo given the necessary ground without charge and will to allowed to Instill exhibits therein , but these exhibits will bo noncom- liotltlvo , not being allowed to compete for superiority with those Installed In the reg ular exhibit buildings. When , the work ot the Department of Ex- lilblts was first formulate ! ' a rule was made that all space for ground on which to erect buildings must bo paid for , end all exhibit * must bo Installed la the main exposition buildings provided for that purpose. As the exposition' grow and Its scope was neccs- &irlly broadened , this rule was relaxed some what and It was determined to donate to each state In the trsnsmlflsleslppl territory an amount of space In the main buildings pro. portioned to Its population. Although tbU space cost the exposition more than $1 per square foot , nnd was one. ot the main sources of revenue of the exposition management , It vas decided to adopt a liberal policy and provide opacoat the expense of the exposi tion for such states In the trtasmlsslaslppl region as might sco lit to take ndvantago of the opportunity. Since that ( Into the exposition has made still further progress anil the s ep taken by the executive committee yesterday was but the culmination ot a sentiment that has been lapldly growing. Thlo puts the exp&iltlcn on the most liberal baa's. The management Invites every stnto In the union nnd every y nation. In the world to come to the exposi 9 tion nnd display Its resources , offering It free ' space for a btilld'ng ' and permission to make Us display In Its building If It prefers to dose so , the only restriction being that the ex hibit thus made cannot compete with UiCi'S In the main , buildings. The Hood of applications for spice coming from foreign exhibitors has made It neces sary to provide Increased accommodations for this class of exhibitors. The Liberal Arts building has been regarded as the natural location for the foreign section and the ex ecutive committee deckled yesterday to put a wide and roomy gallery In this budding In order to accommodate thlo class of exhibits. Manager Klrkcndall was authorized to en ter Into a contract with Sculptor Metier of Omaha for the statuary which will adorn the Administration building. The models for the groups and single figures for this building have been finished for some time. In the cen ter of the south front of the building a group of three figures will ho mountej Just above the main cornice on BI pedestal pre pared for It. This group will symbolize "Administration" and will comprise a cen tral figure sitting on a throne , holding a scepter and ac-sumlng the attitude of com mand. At either side a smaller flguro will alt at the feet of the first named , ho'.dlng a scroll. These figures will bo about twelve feet In. height. On each of the corner pavil ions ot this building will be four sitting figures , ono at each corner of the pavilion. Above the arch on the south'sldo of the building will bo two spandrc'ls ' , each bear ing the figure of a woman. Sculptor Metier has been In Omaha slnco Itat summer tail liBj made a number ot busts of Omaha people ple , whllo waiting for action on his exposi tion figures. Ho will at once take up the work of making the full sized figures.

The congregation of Iho Westminister Prcs bytcrlan church last night Issued a call to Ilev. Hobcrt F. Sample of New York to oc cupy the pulpit of their church , which has been vacant elnce the resignation of Rev John Gordon on November 1. It Is not positively known whether Dr Sainplo will accept the call. Ho was hereabout about two wceka ago nnd expressed hlmael well pleased with this city. At that time he was told that ho could have the charge 1 ho wanted It , but ho gave no definite nn- awor , probably wishing to consult his family first. Ho stated , however , that ho dcslrci to move wrst on account of the Illness ot his wife , who Is an Invalid , and because of this expression the congregation Is hoping that he will accept the call. The matter of selecting a pastor proved to bo very cany. The committee which was appointed , to choose Hcv. Cordon's succcssoi has "considered only Dr , Sample's name , ant at the meeting last night reported lu his favor. Iho choice was unanimously ap piovod by the congregation , who also pali Dr. Sample the compliment of Individually elgnlng the call. Ordinarily the call Is signed by some special committee appalntoi for that purpose. The salary was fixed at the amount that was paid Hev. Gordon $2,0)0. An annual vacation of four weeks was also agreed to. A telegram was sent I ) . ' . Sample last night Informing him of the call , and some sort of a response is expeclei today. Even If Dr. Sample accepts ho cannot bo Installed In the pulpit for some six weeks The matter must bo presented to the presby tery for approval. This duty was placed In the hands of a committee consisting of Rob ert McClelland and Robert H. Olmstcd. Dr Lowry of the Omaha Theological seminary who acted as moderator of last night's meet ing , will officially Inform Dr. Sample of the call. call.Dr. Dr. Robert P. Fatnple Is cue of the most prominent of western 1'rcsbytcrlan mink' ters. Ho IP especially well known as UK former pastor of Westminster Presbyterian church of Mlrnoapolls , which Is the biggest Presbyterian church , If not the biggest " church ot any denomination , In the west Ho occupied l a puvplt for twenty years , sev ering hlo comertlon with the church about ten years ago. When , ho departed the ccn- gregatlcrn numbered some 1,500 souU and possessed ; a tragniflcont church edifice and church property. Since ho left the building was destroyed by fire. The church sold this property and with the proceeds ha.i pur- chened anotter lot. has erected a $250,000 church building and has money left In the treasury. After leaving this church about ten yean ago , Dr. Sample was called to llll the pulpit of the Westminster church of New York , one of the big down-town Presbyterian churches of that city , and has occupied It until the present time. In case that he accepts the call to the- church In this city. It will to quite a coincidence that the three Impor tant pastorates ho has hold dur'iis ; his life time have berne the title of Westminster Presbyterian. Before going to Minneapolis Dr. Sample preached for c'omo ' time la Plttaburg. He studied theology ct the seminary at Alle gheny. Ho Is' ' a Pennsylvania by birth. He Is now about CO years of ago and has a fam ily consisting of a wife and a daughter. Another daughter has married. Whllo Dr. Sample Is especially well known In. tbo west , ho has a national reputation In Presbyterian circles. He Is an eloquent speaker and a very polished man. He if also an. author. Socially , he Is said to bo a delightful companion. One of his most in timate friends Is Dr. Lowry ot the seminary In this city and the latter spoke very highly of him In presenting his name last night. T.io annual meeting ot the First Congrcgo- gatlonal society , held In the parlors of the First Congregational church last night , wue largely attended 'by ' an enthusiastic gather ing of members of the society , which hid been attracted by the expectation of the Gratifying news that It had been blntod that the annual reports to be submitted at that meeting would disclose. It Is certain , too , Ibat no ono was disappointed with the show ing. The pluck of the members of that body has met the unfavorable reports that have pained currency about the finances of the church by showing at the end ot the year that the delinquencies for which suit was brought have been raid and t'je suit dis missed ; that the society has no floating In debtedness ; that It has no bills of any liloid it has not cash on hand to meet , and that t'lo collections for the last year have been unusually largo In amount and unprecedented in prorrotnesi of raynic < nt. The meeting ad journed with a general Jubilation , concluding with the singing of "Pralac Qed , from Whom All Blessings Flow , " followed by a resolution to hold a social meeting at an early date to celebrate Hie most fcvorablo financial con dition that the ( society has boon in at any tlmo slnco the construction of Its new church edifice , something like ten years ago.
