WASHINGTON, u. C, June I6.-
House Committee on Foreign AZ
fairs to-day declined to decide whe-
Their the government should favor San
Francisco or New Orleans as the ci,y
in which q celebration OF the opening
the Panama canal should be he'd,
and the matter will be postponed until
the next session OF Congress. The com
mittee reported bills on behalf of botn
cities, the only being:
Amy city that can raise $500. 600
for an exposition in 1915 is entitled
to consideration by Congress"
Hearings will be held next winter
before the House Committee on In
dustrial Arts and Expeditions.
California members and members
OF the committee said to-day that the
Jeffries-J ohnson prize fight was not
considered In connection with the Fair
resolution. and that it should have no
effect on a decision or postponement.
Representative Kahn, Of California,
said: Il see no connection between
the two. However, the decision of the
committee to-day suits US. California
already has the money.
Representative MekinIay. OF Cali
~fornia, said. :"I do not think that the
W. events should be COMPOUNDED. The
priez fight matter and the exposition
are euttFfly GlhtlTCt.

State or city that encourages prize
hghting. ] think a State should OBJ
serve the wishes OF Its people, and
the people OF the country. for the
vast majority OF them are opposed TO
such sports. Therefore. ] would be
inclined to favor a State which re-
spects h sentiment of the majority
of its inhabitants"
Representative Douglass, OF Ohio:
~ am glad the fight has been stop
ped, It should have been stopped
long ago. / am surprised that 1t
has been allowed TO run 80 long. Do
you think we would permit such ex-
htbitions in Ohio or the District OF
DIE =
Delegate Andrews. OF New Mexico,
said: II regard 1t is detrimental TO a
State TO permit prize fghting. None
OF the Eastern States would do 1t.
Some members doubtless would be
inimical to favoring a State where
such practices are condoned."

location and advantages OF a proposed
