News of the World's Columbian Exposition to be held in 1893, in Chicago, Illinois, drew X to the
city. In 1891, the directors of the World's Columbian Exposition issued a challenge to
American engineers to conceive of a monument for the fair that would surpass the Eiffel
Tower, the great structure of the Paris International Exposition of 1889. The planners
wanted something "original, daring and unique."
X returned with the idea of a Y.
The planners feared his design for Y but still X persisted.
X returned in a few weeks with several respectable endorsements from established
engineers, and the committee agreed to allow construction to begin. Most convincingly, he
had recruited several local investors to cover the $400,000 cost of construction. The
planning commission of the Exposition hoped that admissions from the Y would pull the fair
out of debt and eventually make it profitable.
After the fair closed, X claimed that the exhibition management had robbed him and his
investors of their rightful portion of the nearly $750,000 profit that his Y brought in. He
spent the next two years in litigation.

evidence we‟ve discovered about the escape of X is just too overwhelming to ignore. There is

their continued survival in Argentina are compelling”
