Crowd Makes Hit in Capital,
Isreeiai Correspondence TO Morning Jourpa,l
Washington. d. c., May 29.-No
exposition campaign has ever created
the furry In Washington that Is being
caused ny the contest between San
Francisco and New orleans over the
Panama exposition Of 1915. a Fran
cisco Is somewhat handicapped by the
distance betweeen II and Washington,
of which New Orleans took adVant-
age TO send to Washington a train
load Of legislators and business men
who have been %"whooping IL up" but,
on the other hand. II IL favored In Of
fieia circles here, outside the capitol,
at least, because Of the proposition 10
have one exposition in san Francisco
and one in Washington. making Il n
double harrelled affair. II is true that
Washington would have 20 depend Ill
most exclusively upon congress to sup
ply the financial backing for an ex-
position. but in celebrating an achieve
ment such rs the completion of the
Panama canal, with the Incidental eN-
penditure of hundreds of millions Of
dollars, congress could afford To be
generous with Washington and put
IN the guarantee for a first-class OK
position on Il smaller scale, perhaps,
than that VI either New orleans or
san Francisco. on the other hand, the
activity, %urbanity, generosity and gem
eral progressiveness of tho southern
visitors have most favorahly Impress
cd the official circles, and the SYM
pathies Of Washingtonians are about
equally divided between the two con-
testants. In any event It Is hoped that
congress viii take some step at the
time the exposition is provided to es-
q permanent building of fit
ting character, architecture and d.
mansions, in which q permanent OK
hfhit Of the industries OF the United
states Fan be housed, TO mark the
epoch, the same, of course to be To-
ated at the nations capital.
Ii was q disappointment TO wash
ington medical circles that the mat
ter Of the establishment Of, 4 depart
ment of health went over until ncXt
session Of congress-. Many medical as
sociations and societies hold their
meetings In Washington every year
the city Is fun Of scientists con-
nected with the government. Through
he state board Of health, the medical
officers OF the marine hospital and
'cVenuc cutter services, army n navy
md the dairy and food departments,
Washington Is IN closer touch with the
GENERAL health situation than any 9TH
r. city. For many cason ii favors
he creation Of e department of health
Tot the least of which IL the belief
hat the enforcement of the pure food
and the enacting of additional leg
20 protect the general health
will be greatly strengthened by the
of Il department TO have
barge Of such matters. Had such a
department. existed when the pure
God law was passed there would have
zen no reason to 60 outside the gov
scientists TO create the REM
en- board to pass upon such questions
nd much unpleasantness would have
leen avoided. The department Of ag-
officials ana the medical pro-
ession, as well as the friends of pure
God in congress and elsewhere, are
