World’. Fair Is Too Soon.

Adolphus Busch, of St. Louis, chairman of the committee on foreign relations of the Louisiana purchase exposition, has announced that he will resign from that office. Mr. Busch denies that there is any friction between President Francis or, other members of the world’s fair directory and himself, but states that his large business interests require all his time. Mr. Busch recently returned from Europe and announced it to be his opinion that the world’s fair cannot be held in 1903 because foreign countries could not get their exhibits ready. President Francis declared in interviews that he thought Mr. Busch was mistaken.
