Left to War Department. World’s Fair officials will not act on Lieut Haight’s resignation at Loule Me. The Louisiana Purchase Exposition executive committee turned the matter over to the War Department. Haight tendered his resignation after criticism over inviting a Negro National Guard regiment to camp at the fair. Walter B Stevens said the exposition had no complaint and the issue is for Haight’s superiors to decide. War Department has received nothing on the matter.
