"Governor Lamar Powell would
sound first rate, but we are not suf-
tciently familiar with Judge Saun-

AT NEW ORLEANS
Commercial Bodies to Discuss Pana-
ma Exposition

The commercial bodies of New Or
leans headed by the Progressive
Union and the Merchants and
sued a call for Panama Exposition
conference to be held in New Orleans
on June 81. 2S and 20 and invitations
to participate are being sent TO all
commercial bodies and cities in the
southeastern, Mississippi Valley and
southwestern states. The exposition
Is designed to celebrate the compile
! ton of the Panama canal and the
lakes to the gulf deep waterway, the
benefits of which will be felt by all
sections of the country but more
/ Immediately by the southern valley
and western states. Therefore 1t is
planned to start the movement in
real earnest after conference among
the delegates from these states in
order that the views and ideas of all
sections may be known and acted
upon.
With this in view. Chairman Phil
/ in Werlein of the transportation com
mittee, has made formal request of
the railroads for one fare round
/ trip rate for the occasion, and has
received unofficial assurance that a
one fare rate plus % cents will be
/ granted. The program includes a
/ smoker and conference on the Pana-
ma exposition proposition on the
evening of June - and such other
business sessions as may be found
necessary together with several re-
/ ceptions and entertainments.
Once the views of the various dele
cations become known. the work OF
( organizing the exposition will com
mence on big scale. New Orleans
proposes TO raise the sum OF so.U2o,-
( 000. and il is expected that this sum
( will be augmented from various
sources to about Sl5,ooo,o0o. The
/ exposition will be held i'm 1915 or
1916 ON the shore of Lake Pontchar-
train. Immediately In the rear of the
