WASHINGTON, June 28.—The
Federal Emergency Relief Admin-
istration has made an additional
grant of $808,429 to Texas to re-
lieve distress among unemployed
and at the same time it laid down
the law to Tarrant County and
the state as a whole, saying that
henceforth it must carry an equal
share of this burden.
The declaration was, in effect,
advice to Fort Worth and the
state from Uncle Sam to vote for
the $20,000,000 unemployment
state relief bond issue August 26,
Continue Until Election,
“In making these funds avail-
able to Texas,” Harry L. Hopkins,
federal emergency relief adminis-
trator, wrote to Governor Fergu-
son, "I wish to point out that it
is going to be possible to carry
only part of the cost of unemploy-
ment relief in Texas out of fed-
eral funds. I understand that
there is pending a proposal to
amend the state constitution so as
to permit the Legislature to bond
the state up to $20,000,000 for
relief of unemployed. What I
wish to make clear is that funds
must be made available by the
state or its political subdivisions,
by this or some other means, if
we are to continue to make grants
from federal funds.
“I understand that the people
are to vote on a $20,000,000 bond
proposal for unemployed in Au-
gust. Between now and that time
there is no way by which the state
could make funds available, so we
shall continue to grant funds upon
proper showing by your official
state agent, for period between
now and the election.
Then Up to State.
"Following date of the election,
however, we shall have to require
you to provide from state or lo-
cal funds your fair share, if any
further funds are to be granted
from federal funds."
It was announced at Mr. Hop-
kins' .office that he had received
word that combined money which
can now be made available with-
in Texas, supplemented by funds
which have already been made
available by his administration,
will fall below costs of relieving
Editor's Note: This is the
first of three articles on A
Century of Progress at Chicago
—the big story behind the
World Fair.
By ELIZABETH WALKER
NEA Service Writer.
CHICAGO, June 28.—Chicago's
second world’s fair IS a success.
For proof of this, one can ask
nothing more definite than a
quick glance at the satisfied faces
of those who are seeing it, or a
peek at its attendance sheets.
Within 17 days of its formal
opening, a million people had
paid to see it. And if the at-
tendance continues to grow at the
rate set during the first three
weeks, a new world’s record for
expositions will be established.
Not in the gate receipts alone,
however, is to be found the en-
tire story of its triumph.
To find the rest, one must
gaze for an instant at the license
plates on the cars on Michigan
Boulevard, mingle with crowds
thronging the hotel lounges and
department stores, inhale the air
of bustle and excitement that per-
vades the sidewalks and railroad
stations.
What put A Century of Prog-
ress over? The majority of Chi-
cagoans are still too stunned by
the applause, greeting this world
exposition in honor of their home
city’s 100th anniversary, to voice
an opinion. But the few articu-
late ones divide the credit be-
tween its sound financing, and the
fact that it is no one-man show.
True, the personality of lean,
affable William R. Dawes, its
president, is everywhere evident.
But it was he and his associates
who saw that its financial struc-
ture was firmly built, and insist-
ed that any celebration of Chi-
cago's centennial should be by
and of the people of Chicago.
Financed by Chicago
Vetoing all suggestions that
federal, state or municipal sub-
sidy be, sought, he and they voted
that those who would profit by a
second world’s fair should pay
for #.
The result of their act was psy-
chilogical as well as economic.

LONDON, June 28.—A major
crisis faced the world economic
conference today as Professor
Raymond Moley, President Roose-
velt's personal emissary, con-
ferred with Cordell Hull, chief of
the American delegation. Other
delegates hoped the conference
would result in some means of
clearing disagreements in four
important phases of discussion.
After his talk with Moley, Hull
met the full American delegation.
Moley was not present.
Moley arrived at midnight after
a fast trans-Atlantic voyage and
will confer with the American del-
egates today. He went directly to
the American embassy.
On currency, wheat, tariff and
silver problems there were dis-
agreements that had to be com-
posed before the conference could
proceed toward the measures all
the participating governments
feel necessary to start the world
toward better times.
Of the many problems con-
fronting the conference, that of
currency was the most urgent.
Following refusal of the United
States to agree to immediate sta-
bilization on a basis acceptable to
the gold bloc countries, these na-
tions banded together yesterday
to use all their effort# to remain
on a gold basis. These nation!
chiefly were France, Belgium, and
The Netherlands.
But weakness in their curren-
cles and loss of gold by the Neth-
erlands Bank threatened to fores
some of them off gold, and th#
situation worried delegate#.
Wheat negotiators moved from
crisis to crisis. A rise in wheat
prices, encouraging in itself,
tended to deter some delegates
from committing themselves to •
plan of acreage restriction that
would limit production.
Also while the conference talk-
ed tariffs, the French government
not only was proceeding with spe-
cial tariff agreement# with par-
ticular nation# but was demand-
ing special power# of it# parlia-
ment that would permit to put
even more stringent restrictions
on imports.

COURT ORDERS CITY
TO TURN ON WATER
Man Granted Injunction In
Dispute Over Bill
A I. Williams, attorney, and
his family were enjoying city wa-
ter in their home at 905 North-
west 15th Street, again today,
after having been deprived by the
city of service since Monday.
A mandatory injunction was ob-
tained by Mr. Williams yesterday
to force the city water depart-
ment to turn on the water, cut off
because Mr. Williams refused to
pay an $8.35 bill he claims he
didn’t owe. The injunction was
granted by Judge Marvin Brown
Sr. in 96th District Court.
Mr. Williams' petition stated
that he put up a $3 deposit when
he moved to his present address
May 8, and that on May 28 he
was sent a bill for 80 cents for
water he had used there, and. In
addition, was billed for *8.35
claimed due from his occupancy
of 2403 McKinley Street. Mr.
Williams claims the meter at 2403
McKinley was not in his name.
Judge Brown gave the water
department until September 4 to
show cause why the injunction
should not be made permanent.
The annual Bendix Trophy
Race of the National Air Races
will be held July 1, when a group
of pilots will hop off from New
York on the east-west flight to
Los Angeles. A $9,000 cash
purse and a bonus of #1,000 if
the winner breaks the existing
record is the prize.

now are hauling 12 to 15 crowd-

- Railroad officials say that Pull-
mans and coaches have increased
their Chicago loadings 32 to 60
per cent. One of the leading air
lines reports traffic for the first
two weeks of June ran 70 per cent
ahead of last year.
Where the people are coming
from is frequently asked, but no
one is prepared to answer accu-
rately. From license plates on the
automobiles one would say they
come from everywhere. On one
day licenses of 46 states were
noted.
Visitors from every state and
from eight provinces in Canada
have signed the official fair reg-
ister. And 73 foreign countries

And the group of individuals
and corporations who pledged
$12,176,000 to cover the $10,-
000,000's worth of gold notes 1s-
sued to finance the exposition
| have left nothing undone to guar-
antee its success.
They have been aided, of
course, by the industrial leaders
whose exhibits provide the theme
underlying the exposition — the
progress of industry thru appli-
cation of science during the past
century.
Other of the world’s great fairs
may have been more enchanting
to the eye than this city of rain-
bow-hued pavilions and silvery
spires arising from a fantastic
chaos of sand and flowered ter-
races on Chicago's man made lake
front. But none of them, it is
certain, has been more interest-
ing or instructive.
A Carnival College
One may pause in “the House-
of Magic" in the Electrical Build-
ing and get an education in elec-
trical engineering, so graphic are
the mechanisms and so assiduous
are the lecturers.
That is true of all the 500 ex-
hibits in the 200 buildings, stud-
ding the grounds, on which hun-
dreds of corporations, nearly ev-
ery state, and the principal for-

eign nations have spent approxi-
mately $50,000,000.
Appropriately enough, the more
than a million who have already
paid their quarters and half dol-
lars to enter this carnival-like
college have come primarily to be
instructed.
Statistics disclose that the
great Hall of Science so far is
the "hit” of the fair. Its nearest
rivals are The Streets of Paris,
up and down whose alley-like
avenues a completely unclad Lady
Godiva rides, and the Enchanted
Island for children.
From a hard-headed business
as well as an Intellectual and
amusement point of view, Chi-
cago’s Century of Progress Expo-
sition has gone over. What ex-
hibit space remained 1 on the
opening day ( and there was con-
siderable) has been gobbled up.

How much money Chicago's
fair visitors are leaving behind
them is still—speculation.—How.
ever, it is almost impossible for
an out-of-towner to see the expo-
sition for less than $50 a week,
exclusive of railroad fare.
Strangely, the most expensive
hotels and the costliest fair at-
tractions are doing the biggest
business.
To make the fair a financial
success, a total paid attendance
of 30 million is needed. Officials
are optimistic about reaching
this figure. If they do, they will
be able to retire all outstanding
gold notes without calling on the
guarantors, and eclipse the at-
tendance record of 28,000,000 ad-
missions of the London Exposi-
tion in 1908.
