WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY Is LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark Il as
Most Suitable Spot for Dedi.
cation of Great Work.

Public sentiment has decided that
the completion of the Panama Canal
In 1915 shall be celebrated with a
great International Exposition in
which all the nations of the world
may participate; and the question of
where this Exposition Is to be held
Will be settled by Congress at its APP
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor of hold
ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense sums of
money as an evidence of their ability
to finance so great an enterprise
An Exposition worthy of the term
Worlds Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be a great ed
ucational movement Its success as
such, however, will depend entirely
upon the percentage of our popula-
tion who can secure its educational
advantages, this in turn, depends up.
on its location, as the time in travel
Ing to and from the Exposition, and
the cost In railroad and Pullman
fares. are the most important factors.
Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to being the "Logi-
cal Point" for this Panama Exposi-
tion, seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts:-
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center of population In the United
States. San Francisco Is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within radius of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 17,500,000
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 100000
Within a radius Of 1000 miles from
New Orleans, there are G5,000,0O0
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only G,OOO,00O
At an average of 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 10 of our
principal cities with combined
population of 2O,OOOOOO, Averaging
300 miles from San Francisco there
are only s large cities, with a com.
bined population of just 100000
The average distance of all these
cities to New Orleans is T92 miles,
to San Francisco 2,4O7 miles.
Over rs per cent of the people OF
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex.
pense for railroad fare of $3.50, as
against an average of $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast; and for several mil.
lions of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone,
for trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for trip to New
Orleans.
This Is an important public ques-
tion to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes in December.
Many Of our readers will wish to
visit this Worlds Panama Exposi-
tion, and If held in New Orleans
great many more could spare the
time and money for the trip than
could GO to San Francisco. There
fore, We urge our readers to write to
the two senators from this State and
the congressman from this district,
requesting them to support New Or.
leans In the contest.

WEALTHY MAN
 TO BE HANGED
Henry Harding, Slayer of Former Representative Patterson, to
 Die on May 6.

Little Rock, Ark, March 22.-Gov- ernor Donaghey today issued a pro- clamation fixing Friday, May b, as the date for the execution of Henry Harding who shot and killed J. T.. Patterson, an attorney and former member of the Arkansas legislature, in the latter's office at Wynne, cross county, last October over a differ ence in adjusting an attorneys fee.
 Harding's execution following his conviction of first degree murder i'll the Cross county circuit court, was fixed for December 31, but he took an appeal to the State Supreme Court, where the case was heard and finally passed upon by that body about three weeks ago, the conviction by the low CT court being affirmed. The mandate was duly certified up to the governor, who has fixed the above date for the execution by hanging in the jail yard at Wynne between the hours of sun- rise and sunset
 The case is one of the most not able in the criminal records of Cross county, both parties to the tragedy being we'll known. Harding, who had only recently removed to this state from Indiana, was regarded as wealthy for a planter, but somewhat eccentric. Patterson was one of the most prominent attorneys of East ern Arkansas, and was engaged by Harding to prosecute a civil suit for him.
 The suit was won, but in adjusting the matter of counsels fees an alter cation took place in the attorneys office resulting in Harding shooting Patterson dead.

NO NEW PRINCIPAL
 UNTIL NEXT SESSION
Professor H. F. Srygley, Vice Prin- cipal at the High School, Will Be
 Acting Principal Until End Of Present School Session.

Superintendent Junius Jordan an- nouneed yesterday that the School Board will not elect successo: to Professor R. T. Benton, late prln- cipal of the Pine Bluff High School until after the close of the present school session in June. Realizing that it will be a difficult matter to secure man to fill the vacancy caused by the tragic death of Pro- lessor Benton, the School Board will not act hastily in the selection of new head for the High School. For the present Professor H. F. Srygley. teacher of mathematics, will be ID charge of the High School work as acting principal and will remain in that capacity until the end of the scholastic year.
 The death of Professor Benton, however, will necessitate the imme- diate employment of a Latin teacher. The School Board and Superintend- ent Jordan have not succeeded in se- curing the services of good Latin teacher as yet, but will probably an- nounce the employment of satisfac- tory member of the faculty in that capacity within the next few days.
 It was announced last night that the triangular debate, which was to have been held in this city Friday of this week, would be postponed. Dr. Jordan is in communication with the High School officials of Hot Springs and Little Rock and will urge a postponement of the debate until a later day. Dr. Jordan said it would be impossible for the pupils of this city to enter into the debate under the present panicky condi- tions and that in all probability the debate will be called off for the pres- ent at least.

made successfully in other localltles and by government health officials.
 The members of the County Boare declare that they have every reaso' to believe that there are many tub ercular COWS in this county. AS an evidence of the popularity of the re- cent move of the County Board, many individuals, who own milch COWS have requested the county health offi- cials to send veterinary surgeon te their homes for the purpose of max ing tuberculin test. They declare that they want this step taken fol their own protection and that they had not given the matter thought be- fore the County Board took up the question. Many dairymen, who be. lieve in good health and a perfect sanitary milk supply, also favor the plans as outlined by the County Board.
  tion of the County Board of Health relative to improving health condi tions in this county will bear gooc fruit and that it will only be the be ginning of a campaign in many other ways for a preservation of good health in this section of the State.
 The officials of the County Board of Health have been informed that milk is being shipped into Pine Bluff from other points, containing dor maldehyde. They have no proof of this report, they say, but will inves- tigate it immediately, with view to checking the sale of the milk, if the report is found to be true. 1t would require an analysis of the milk by a chemist to determine as to the correctness of the report.

NO SURPLUS CARS
 IN ARKANSAS
Empties From Many Sections of the Country Are Being Hurried Here.


 Country Are Being Hurried Here.
 Little Rock, Ark, March 22.-There are no surplus cars in Arkansas.
 This statement is made upon ex- cellent authority, and it means that the enormous number of empties which were only a short time ago lining the sidetracks at small sta tions and encumbering the switching yards at the terminals are earning their keep and that traffic business, which for a time showed decided and depressing decline indispositicn and that now it is taking all the nou- rishment very healthy condition of the market can prescribe.
 Empties, by the train load, are coming into Arkansas from many sec tions of the country. The wheat movement from Arkansas and the Dakotas is almost at an end, and these cars are turning north again from New Orleans, Galveston, Port Arthur and other Gulf ports, and from the fact that there is a cry for freight equipment in Arkansas many of these cars are finding their way to Arkansas lines.
 There is reason for this speedy change in traffic conditions.
 Enormous quantities of Arkansas lumber is being demanded in many sections of the world Train loads of short leaf pine have been shipped to the east and to the Gulf coast within the past few weeks, and from the far Central West large orders for building material have been received recently.
 The railroads which for two years or more purchased but little or no lumber, but used up what had been laid in store before the depression, have consumed this stock and are now under the necessity of going to the mills for supply, which is neces- sary for the maintenance of their lines and also to replenish their stocks which have been seriously de- pleted by reason of the lack of funds with which to maintain them.
 There as a sufficient number 2. cars to care for the traffic being of fered, and there is no reason to fore cast shortage, under the present conditions, but the most sudder change from hundreds of idle cars , to the present situation is being dis cussed not only by the operating off cials but by the boards of direc tors and financiers who expect the business for the remainder of thi! year to equal if not exceed anything in the history of the railroads.
