the city council this city will have an
up-to-date force.
The recommendations made by Mr. Bar
rett provide for the installation of six
teen telephone call boxes to be distrib-
uted, four to each ward, in the four
wards of the city, by which means the
police can call up every half hour and
keep in touch with headquarters.
The second recommendation provides
for a patrol wagon for conveying prison
ers to police headquarters, and the hir-
ing OF a driver. who would act as janitor
at police headquarters.
His third recommendation is for an
annual appropriation of 500 as pension
fund for the police to be used for dis
abled members of the force, or to be
given families of officers killed or MANNED
in the discharge of their duties.
Mr.. Barrett submitted his recommends
tons in writing. He explained in his let

defray the expenses incurred in carrying
out his recommendations. He ex-
planned that about $1,000 Is collected an

amount would mean $500 additional a
year. which would practically pay the

there were tears, cheers and shouts of
congratulation. The doctor and his
daughter returned to their seats and
sat for long time without word be-

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY is LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark 1t 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 ap-
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 30 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. It's success as
such, however, will depend entirely
upon the percentage of our popular
tion who can secure its educational
advantages, this in turn, depends up
on It's 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 a 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 radius of 1000 miles from
New Orleans, there are 65,000,oo0.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average OF 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 20 OF our
principal cities with combined
population of 2oo0o,ooo. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only large cities, with a COM
bined population Of just 100000
The average distance OF all these
cities to New Orleans is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2,407 miles.
Over 75 per cent. of the people Of
the United States could 20 to an
