New Orleans wins her fight for the big exposition to be held in celebra tion of the opening of the Panama canal In 1915. The House Committee on Industrial Arts and Expositions, by a vote of nine to six, favored the Crescent City over San Francisco, which has been a strong contender for the exposition. The fight between the cities will be carried to the floor of the House, but, with the committee behind New Orleans, her chances are now infinitely better than ever before. The New Orleans people are confident the House will sustain the committee. The committee, after deciding in favor of New Orleans, named a sub committee to draft a bill, embodying the essential points for which New Orleans contended. The Government will be committed to participation in the expositloh, and $1,000,000 will he appropriated for a Government dis play, as a starter. How much more the Government will be called upon to do remains to he seen. JUDSON C. ELEMENTS. Georgia Demoorat Who Is Head of Interstate CommeiJ. Commission. SOUGHT FLS LIFE.
