Ilerenfter ,
Resolved , That a general manager , to be
Mleclrd by nnd be under the direction of
tbo executive committee , be placed In charge
of nnd held responsible for the orderly ,
economical and irstemntlc conduct nt affairs
on the exposition grounds and be In full
charge thereof ; suggesting to tbe executive
committee such general rules and rcgtiln
tlons or changes therein ns may produce
tbe best results. Such general mnnnqcr
Rboll have the power , for cause , to lum-
nmtlly remove and discharge any employe
of tbc exposition employed In the buildings
or on the grounds of the exposition , except
Rur.crlntcndents of departments , and shall
Immediately report bis action In ( but behalf
nnd give the cause for such disci arse to
the manage' * of the department in which
surh person in employed.
The couraohlch has been urged on tbe
exposition management for months has at
last been adopted , and the first step has
been taken to place tbc administration of
*
the affairs of the exposition In tbe bands
of one man with executive authority. This
action was taken by the Board of Directors
ot the exposition at a prolonged and stormy
meeting held yesterday afternoon , which
ended nltb tbc adoption of the above rcso
lull on by a vote ot 34 ayes and 1 nay , the
latter being cast by Director Yost , who
laughingly remarked that be simply "wanted
to be different. "
This matter came up after the board had
been in session for some time , being
broached by Mr. Wellcr , who said there
was a vexed question which should be set
tled , as It seriously threatened the very exIstence
Istenco of tbe exposition. He then offered
th6 following resolution and moved Its
adoption :
Resolved , That the members ot this bean
toidlally endorse the nppolntm"nt o' A. C
Foster to the position tot encriil supc'lu-
Undent made by the ox < v'i"i. ' cowalttee
in compliance with resolutions a-lipted No
vember 13. 18S7.
Resolved. That the executive conm'tteo
Is hereby directed to broaden and enlarge
tbe powers of the general E'jfJrlnli'nde
who shall bo placed In full chars ? of the
.xroMtlon grounds nnd buildings ard heb
responsible for the ordarly , economical am
systematic conduct of affairs in and on the
same , subject to such rules and regulations
an may from time to tlm be mid , l.y thi
exeriitlvo committee wt'h ' a vliv cf pro
during tbo best results ? ibc general su
iwrlntendcnt shall have lie power , fo- cause
t3 summarily discharge tnv empl'to oT the
exposition employed In I ho buildings or on
the grounds , excepting sMper.'i.lendLnts o
bureaus , and shall fill the vacancies , An ;
su | > erintendent of a bunnu may , for cause
be suspended by the general biipcripten.lent
who Blinll Immediately report hli potion tt
tbe manager of the department in wblcl
said superintendent Is employed , and In casi
charge * of misconduct are sustained , th
manager of said department tliall nnme n
substitute for said superintendent Jo tbi
executive committee for continuation.
Lindner unil Mo nt co in cry Ohjret.
Chairman Llndscy of the executive com
mlttce opposed the resolution. He declarci
that the members of tbe executive commit
tee were competent to discharge their du
ties and ho regarded the resolution as a di
reel affront to the committee. If anything
was wrong , ho said tbe committee would b
Bind to have the matter Investigated , but b
asserted that It was not In the power of any
one man to conduct the exposition and the
effect ot the resolution would be detrimen
tal.
General Mandcrson demanded to know In
what way tbe resolution reflected on the
executive committee , to which Mr. Ltndsey
replied that It would result In putting a
man over the heads ot the members of the
committee.
Director Montgomery denounced the rcso-
lut'xm as on attempt to do away with tbo
executive committee , and said If he were a
member of tbe committee ho would resign.
He designated tbe proceedings as an attempt
to discharge people and said It an executive
head was what was wanted the president
should bo delegated power to exercise tbo
authority. Ho charged the supporters ot
the resolution with ulterior motives in thus
urging tbe enlargement of the powers ot
Mr. Foster and declared that Foster was all
right In his present position , but would bo
all wrong If his powers were extended. The
matter had been laid on the table at a previ
ous meeting and had been disposed of.
Mr. Wellcr disclaimed any Intention of re
flecting on the executive committee , but he
said matters had reached a stage where
something should bo done.
Manager Rosewater replied to the state
ment of Mr. Montgomery that the matter
had been laid on the table at a previous
meeting and thus disposed of. He called at
tention to tbe fact that what bad been laid
on tbe table was a report ot the opposers
of this resolution , providing that tbe posi
tion of general superintendent should be
abolished. This hod been laid on tbe table
by the votes of the people who' made tbe
report , thus presenting the spectacle of the
signers of a report voting to lay It on the
table. He declared that such action wa
simply an evasion of the Issue nnd appealed"
to the directory to look the matter squarely
in the face. Ho charged that certain of the
employes holding responsible position ! had
been found to be guilty of serious offenses
and yet the exposition was dependent upon
these same employes to carry along tbe
business ot the enterprise. He also referred
to certain difficulties with outside states
which had resulted from the hydra-headed
method of doing business which prevails.
So far as Mr. Foster is concerned , Mr. Rose-
wnter said he had no particular Interest In
seeing him retained or iu seeing any other
man placed In the position , but he declared
that a crisis had been reached and If prompt
action was not taken those connected with
the exposition would see tbe time In the
near future when disgrace would envelop
the entire enterprise.
Manager Bruce resented the remarks of
Mr. Hosewater and declared that such state
ments made It imperative that the whole
executive committee resign.
Mr. Hitchcock' * Opinion.
Mr. Hitchcock made an Impassioned argu
ment , in which he charged that the whole
scheme was a deliberate and premeditated
purpose to seize tbe patronage of the ex
position nnd get ItMnto single hands. Ho
charged that for months Mr. Foster had
been personally canvassing the members of
the board to override the executive commit
tee and secure greater power. He denounced
such a course as an outrage , partaking of
petty politics for an employe ho took tbe
position for tbe wages it offered to at
tempt to secure more power for tbe prestige
it would glvo htm In the approaching cam
paign.
General Manderson challenged tbe state
ments of Mr. Hitchcock. He said be knew
very little of Mr , Foster personally , having
met him but a few times , but bo said he
had had a private conversation with him
early In tbe current week and he quoted
tbe conversation t length , showing clearly
and concluslvel that Mr. Foster not only
had not soughtiHho enlargement of bis
powers , but that be shrank from the addi
tional burdens whfch such enlargement t
would thrust upon him. General Maudcr-
on then said be took exception * to tbe
wording of the resolution which bad fceeu
offered , and be offered ai a substitute the
resolutlou vfeich be had oJferwd at tfee UM t

meeting , making a few changes In tbc word-
Jng of It.
Mr. Welter accepted tbe substitute and
tatter tbe resolution bad been discussed
briefly It was adopted by tbe vote.heretofore
stated. Messrs. Babcock , Bruce , Llnduey and
Rosewater of the executive committee were
present and all voted for tbe resolution.
When the meeting opened Secretary Wake-
field asked tbe Indulgence of tbe meeting
while he read a statement from John Rush ,
formerly auditor of the exposition , and Rob
ert Finley , the present auditor , both to the
effect that they had checked the accounts of
the secretary's office , Mr. Rush's checking
extending up to the time when bo left the
service of the exposition , and Mr. Finley's
extending from that date to the present
time.
The secretary then called attention to a
half-bushel basket of protests against tbo
opening of tbe exposition gates on Sunday.
Ho said this contribution bed Juit been re
ceived , but there were several more half
bushels on file in hi * office and bo asked
for Instructions as to their disposition.
General Mandcrson said tbe question of
Sunday closing was an Important one and
ought to be settled. The people opposing
the opening of tbe gates on Sunday were I
making a moat aggressive campaign and )
the matter should bo taken up and disposed
of. For himself , % he said be believed that
In tbe Interest of morality tbe exposition
should be kept open on Sunday. He moved
that the executive committee be Instructed
to report to the next meeting of the board
regarding tbe custom which had prevailed
at previous expositions regarding thli ques
tion. This motion was adopted.
I'ree ! * Uamtlon.
Tbe executive committee submitted a re
port on the free pass question referred to
tbe committee at the last meeting of the
board. Tbe report stated that tbc commit
tee bad adopted tbo following resolution as
Its recommendation on this matter :
Resolved , That It Is the sense of the boitrd
of directors of the Transmisslsslppi aud In
ternational Exposition that there shall b' no
free list or passes to the exposition after
June 1 , except as follows : Officers nni !
members of the executive committee , execu
tive committee of tbe Bureau of Education ,
executive committee of the Bureau of Kn-
tcrtatnmcnt , vice presidents and commis
sioners of nations , states and territories ,
executive officers of nations , states and ter
ritories ; exhibitors , concessionaires , em
ployes In the actual discharge of their
duties , newspaper representatives as per
rules previously adopted , mayor and city
council of the city of Omaha , Board of Fire
and Police Commissioners , Board of Educa
tion , Board of Park Commissioners , Board
ot County CouunUslouera. sheriff of Douglas
county.
It is tbe Intent of this resolution that
no stockholder or director shall be provided
with free admission except as above stated.
The reading of the rules governing the
Issuance of passes to representatives of
newspapers was called for and Manager
Host-water explained that these rules con
templated the Issuance of a large number
ot passes , but they were In the nature of an
exchange of courtesies for which tbe expo
sition received full return.
General Manderson favored the reduction
In the number of these passes , but Mr , Rosewater -
water explained that such policy would be
detrimental to the exposition and do more
harm than good. Many ot the passes might
, never be used , but eren it every editor took
aOvantage of th opportunity th * xpecHiea
would receive much more than their value
In advertising.
This opinion finally prevailed , and then
the directors took up the latter clause of the
committee's resolution and tt was discussed
at some length , the burden of the arguments
being that the directors had assumed the
responsibility for tbe exposition and bad
given their time and attention to tt and
should , therefore , be entitled to considera
tion. After an extended discussion tbe
clause was removed and the directors were
added to the list of those entitled to receive
passes.
At the Instance of Director Hoclor an at
tempt was made to add to the list the mayor
and members of tbe city council of South
Omaha and Council Bluffs , but the amend
ment1 was defeated.
Tbo next meeting of the board will be
held on tbe exposition grounds Saturday ,
May 21.
Little Strike Settled.
A strike occurred on tbc Fire and Police
Department building at tbe exposition
grounds at the close of work Thursday even
ing by the plasterers , who thought they1 were
not getting as much money for their labor
as they deserved. The matter was satis
factorily adjusted and tbe men returned to
their work tbe .next morning.

After Their Whilom Maitern and
Eastern Annorlnten In nn Awe-
IniiplrlnK Spectacle.
The Initiation of a dozen candidates Into
the Ancient Arabic Order , Nobles of the
Mystic Shrine , at Tangier temple , this city ,
last evening was made the occasion for a
series of brilliant events , commencing at 6
o'clock last evening and terminating at an
early hour this morning. The amenities In
cluded a gala procession through the busi
ness portion of the city , followed by tbe In
itiatory ceremonies at the temple , which
in turn gave way to an elaborate banquet
that was enjoyed by over 200 Mystic Shrlners
who gathered about tbc board.
The parade of the evening was made
notable by the addition of some of the orig
inal Arabs , who , with their unearthly yelps ,
their grotesque dancing , their fantastic
garb , attracted much attention. All tbe na
tions of the Orient and several other na
tionalities were represented. It had been
planned to present a picture of life among
the Spaniards , but fear of having the na
tives of that country mobbed caused the
managers of the parade to leave out tbe
feature just before the start \\as made. The
procession started from the exposition
grounds at about < 5 o'cjock and found Its
way without difficulty to Tangier temple ,
opposite to which that new government
building was erected. ] ' g
It was between 7 awl 7SO : o'clock that
the parade invaded thei center of the city.
The route was down [ Sixteenth street , east
on Farnam , north on Twejfth , west on Doug
las , north on.Sixteenthand countermarch
to tbe temple. At the head of the push
rode Admiral George ( Dewcy Collins and he
looked like a right gallant knight. A brass
band that played all the popular and mar
tial airs ot the day followed , Its music being
one of the few features not Imported for
the occasion. Then cam * fifty Ancient and
Arabic and other kln4s ot Mystic Shrlners ,
all gorgeously attired , inzouave uniforms
that Included many colore , from pale blue
to paler pink. The Shrincrs looked well
and In double ranks marched In creditable
form. There followed 101 of their worthy
brothers dressed in evening suits , with the
fez and fashionable cauts.
From tbe Sure Euonich Orient.
Four donkeys imported from the exposi
tion's Midway that is to be came along with
a jog and a native Turk followed with a jag.
The color bearers came next , and far above
tbe flags of all the oriental nations that
were displayed were the stars and stripes.
A quartet of real vicious looking swordsmen
circled around , and fiavo exhibitions of their
d-ftn ss in handling their swords and their
shields. As # eon . * they bad passed there
ares Ike cry ; -The catntlf are coming ,
hurrah , hurrah. " It was no Arabian dream ,

f-r the camels WI.TP coming along , and they
all bad a bump on themselves. Seated on
tl'o five camels were twice tn&t number of
mighty potentates of'the ancient and noble
order.
Now came the awc-lnsplring feature of
tbc procession. A baker's dorcn of i , < tndl-
datcs for the ordeals of the Inu'atory ' tere-
uiony clung tenaciously to i lope as they
were pulled and jerked along uy their mas
ters. Everyone along the curbstone felt
b'ncercly sorry for the poor men. Strong
men were seen to shake as though they had
the ague , and fair women wept bitter tears
at tbe thought of what might happen to
blight the lives of there luckless thirteen
candidates. But the subjects did not hesi
tate ; they marched to their doom with the
conviction that they might do worse. The
crank was turned and another picture was
presented. It was tbe concluding chroma of
the series , and was a correct Imitation of
City Comptroller John Westberg , his Great
Dane dog and thirty Shrlners tramping the
streets of Omaha amid tbe enthusiastic
plaudits of thousands of spectators.
At 11 o'clock tbe nobles sat down to a
bountiful repast , which was concluded with
a program of toasts. Toastmaster Ralph
E. Brqckenrldge first Introduced Judge W.
W. Keysor , who responded to tbe topic , "Tho
Tie that Binds. " Noble Matthews of Fre
mont followed on tbe brotherhood of the
order and Hon. Edgar Howard ot Papllllon
recited some graphic lines descriptive of his
experience as a novitiate. Noble Coryell
also expressed his pleasure at coming safely
over the sands and Noble Andrews gave
n response to "Our Wives and Sweethearts. "
The evening was concluded by an exhibition
of magical wonders given by Ahmld , from
the plains of Araby , who was introduced
as the seventy-fifth grandson of the prophet.
