FOR THE FAIR
FRANCIS OF LOUIS
TANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION
APPEALS TO GOVERNMENT.

WASHINGTON, February An
extended explanation of the proposed
loan of S4,6OOOOO by the Government
to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
Company was made today by David
r. Francis, president of the company
to the House Committee on Industrial
Arts and EXpcsitions.
Chairman Tawney announced that
the Senate Committe had the matter
under consideration as an amendment
to the urgency deficiency appropria-
ton bill. Tt was proposed to have
this amendment introduced in the
House in the form of a bill. The
hearing today was, he said, to permit
members to be informed as to just
what the proposition was in the event
that favorable action is taken in the
Senate.
Francis reviewed every feature Of
the enterprise at length. Foreign
governments had appropriated a total
of $500 900 for their buildings and
exhibits. The states and territories
have appropriated an aggregate Of
$7,OOO,OO0 He said the estimate of
SIS, 900 as the cost of the exposition
had been found to be decidedly too
low. Chicago had expended S22 900, 900
before opening the gates. With the
loan now asked the exposition would
he said represent an expenditure Of
$196OO,O0O The increased cost Of
labor as compared with this item of
expense at the Chicago Exposition, he
said, amounted to at least % per cent.
Labor was 80 per cent of the cost of
the exposition, and this increase alone
amounted to at least $25OO,OOO

WOULD COMPEL
IOWANS TO VOTE
BILL INTRODUCED IN STATE LEG
STATURE TO PUNISH THOSE
WHO DO NOT USE PRIVILEGE.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Feb. 1.-Believing
that it is one of the duties of a good
citizen to his country to vote whenever
he can, Representative McAllister Of
Lynn county has introduced a bill in
the State Legislature providing for the
punishment of persons physically able
20 vote who do not go to the polls and
exercise that privilege. The bill defines
such neglect as a misdemeanor, and
proposes as a penalty disfranchise-
ment at the two following elections.
Informal gossip concerning the bill is
that its provisions are constitutional
and that such law would work no in
justice to the electors. The principal
effect of the law would be to increase
4he vote at State and local elections
particularly.

STERLING DEAD.

J. H. Craig yesterday received a ca
BILE announcing the death of Constant
Sterling, the painter, in Ceylon. Craig
holds Sterling's power of attorney and
is looking after his affairs in the ISL
ands. The cable was from the Bel
gian consul at Colombo, Ceylon, and
stated that Sterling died on February
8. Sterlin was a well known citizen Of
Honolulu. He left here some time ago
on account of i'll health, intending to
travel extensively. The deceased had
many friends and was of a liberal and
kindly disposition. When the Ameri-
can soldiers came through here at the
beginning of the war with Spain, Ster-
ling was one of the most liberal in
entertaining them.
