Both Cities Must Raise
Guarantee of $500, 600

Both San Francisco and New Orleans
must raise T.50O.0OO before they can
hope to receive government Endorsement
for their expeditions in celebration of
the completion of the Panama canal The
House committee on foreign affairs today
decided not to invite foreign nations
to participate until these conditions have
been complied with.
AS II happens the prize fight PROPOSE
ton can have no influence on the COM
mittee's decision between San Fran
cisco and New Orleans. The committee
after an executive session reported out
both the Kahn resolution, requesting
the participation of foreign govern
ments in an exposition at San Fran
cisco in 1915, and the Estopinal resolu-
ton for an exposition at New Orleans
in that year. This morning repre-
sentative of the Golden Gate city ap-
peared before the committee and stated
that as San Francisco had raised more,
than SS.0O0.0@ by public subscription
the city desired to raise the limit in
the resolution from $1,000 600 to $780,
GOO. Some friend of the Crescent city
hurried outside and found Representa-
tive Estopinal of louisiana
New Orleans Meets the Raise.
..Wu New Orleans meet that raise?" he
was asked.
Certainly" replied Mr.. Estopinal. I've
have raised s6.OOO,OOO up to date and can
easily get the balance.
The committee being Informed to this
effect, raised the limit to SI,JOO.OOO and
reported out both resolutions, thus put
ting the decision between the two cities
up to the House, or, more accurately, up
to the committee on industrial arts and
expositions.
This action of the foreign affairs COM
mittee is considered by the New Orleans
| boomers as almost as much OF a victory
| for the Crescent city as IL the committee
| had thrown San Francisco overheard.
| One reason for this Is that good many

LAND TITLES ARE IN DOUBT
TO RESTORE ORIGINAL LINES

A second report was presented to the
Senate today by Senator Scott on beha II
OF the commission which has been In
vestigating for two years the title of the
United States to certain parcels of land
in the District of Columbia now claimed
by private parties.
The report gives much Information re-
garding the titles to specific squares of
land in the District but it is not con-
Guiding report, and it outlines much work
which still must be done before a final
and conclusive determination can be
made. The most important future work
will be the preparation of a map of the
District to settle finally land titles.
The members of TIE commission are
Attorney General Wickersham. Secretary
OF War Dickinson. Senator Scott, Rep
resentstive Bartholdt and Commissioner
Rudolph II. G. Gauss of the Depart
ment Of Justice is secretary to the COM
mission.
Going back to the time of the es-
adjustment of the National Capital in
Its present site, the commission points
out that an agreement was made between
the original owners of the land set apart
for the District and commissioners rep
resenting the United States; and that I'M
der this agreement there were three con-
ditions under which title to portions of
land in the limits of the federal city was
TO be vested in the United States

One portion of the land was to be laid

The third portion consisted of one-haif

hands of the trustees after the areas for
streets and public reservations, had been
deducted This moiety was to be assign
ed to the United States to be sold for the
purpose of raising money to defray the
cost of erecting public buildings.
The commission found no difficulty in
determining the title to the lands in the

were to be divided between the original
proprietors and the public The evidence
