CRESCENT CITY'S PLEA
FOR CANAL EXPOSITION
Residents of New Orleans Are Work
ing Hard to Secure the
Big Show.

The Worlds Panama Exposition Com
pany of New Orleans has located its
permanent headquarters at the Ebbitt
House, a large suite on the second floor
having been secured yesterday by F. ID.
Armstrong, the special representative OF
the company, who arrived in Washington
a few days ago with his assistant, II. G..
Mccarthy.
The New Orleans representatives have
been working hard but quietly through
out the summer, and have received at
their New Orleans headquarters over
5000 Endorsements from commercial or
CARNATIONS throughout the United States
They have also a very large following
in the House, they claim, and, In fact,
fully expect to win the favorable vote
from Congress. Both the representatives
of the company In Washington have a
number of arguments to advance, among
them being the fact that 5000, OU people
live within thousand miles Of New Or
leans, against 6.OOO,OO0 living within the
same distance of San Francisco. An ex-
position with this population to draw
upon must become popular, while an ex-
position with only 6,OU.OOO within a
thousand miles will have a hard time re-
tanning popularity.
From Business Viewpoint.
From a trade standpoint, Mr.. Arm
strong takes the position that the Panama
canal will simply reduce the cost of de-
liveries from Europe and cut down the
steaming time. thus giving the Europeans
much better chance to gather the small
percentage Of trade which now comes to
the United States, rather than give the
United States a chance to take away the
great trade held by Europe Europe ex-
tends long credits, packs perfectly, fol-
lows instruction and has long-estab-
lished trade channel American credits
are short. its packing careless and its
trade relations limited. The merchants
of South and Central America to a large
extent do not know what the United
States really can produce But hold an
exposition within easy reach of these
reach of the American factories and sup
these Latins will learn within the running
time of the exposition. and will establish
new business ties and the trade will
grow with the opening Of the canal. AS
a trade magnet the exposition at New
Orleans would occupy the most unique
position ever held by great world S
fair
The headquarters of the exposition
company's representatives will be open
to their friends or those interested In the
question from now on until the question
has been definitely settled.

Dietz was about 100 feet from the door
when the bullets began to fly. She ran
inside the house and escaped injury. The

down.
A scream was heard within the cabin
