NEW ORLEANS MEN
 ARE GOOD FELLOWS
Panama Exposition Boosters
 Prove Fine Lot
FULL OF ENTHUSIASM
Passed Through Birmingham Yester- day on Way to Washington Where They Go to Ask for An
 Appropriation

"The finest group of men I have ever seen,' said Hugh Latimer, travelling pas. senger agent for the Alabama Great Southern railroad, last night in regard tc the Panama exposition committee" oi New Orleans, which passed through Bir- mingham yesterday on a special train over the Queen and Crescent en route to Washington.
 Tt is live body of business men and sition to be held in New Orleans during the year 1915 to celebrate the opening of the Panama canal. San Francisco has been planning for an exposition to be held
 in 1915 In honor of the same event, and the purpose of the trip of the New Or leans delegation at this time is really more to secure the right to the name, Panama exposition than for any expec- tation to secure an appropriation from Congress at this time. New Orleans geographical location causes It's people to think the Crescent City more entitled to the holding of such an exposition than any other city.
 Their request will be that the govern ment appropriate s1S,0O00O0, which they will agree to equal. The state of Louisi- ana will be asked for an appropriation Of S1,000,0o0 while all that will be asked of the other states will be to have exhibit buildings at the exposition. All of the various Latin-American countries will also be asked to have exhibits
 The committee is going to Washing ton to boost New Orleans, and judging by the calibre of the men composing the committee there is but little doubt that the Crescent City will be boosted in great style. Each man in the party is a man of prominence and influence and thor oughly imbued with the Panama exposi- tion' spirit Each of them wore a large, white button with New Orleans across the top and crescent in the center.
 ''The committee is taking with them 8 memorial to be presented TO the Pres ident and Congress of the United States, requesting them to join in the holding of the exposition. It is signed by 12S of the most prominent men of New Orleans and Louisiana and Is beautifully gotten up."

AMERICAN TOURISTS
 WILL TRAVEL IN AIR

Berlin. March 13.-tSpecial. )-Ameri can tourists soon will come to regard an airshfp tour as one of the regular features of a programme of summer travel in Europe if the expectations of the founders of the new Hamburg airship line are realized. The pro motors of the enterprise recognize that the financial prospects of the venture can be improved greatly if proper eff forts are made to interest Americans. Aerial excursions are to be arranged with a special view of capturing the custom of travellers from the United States.
 According to the computations the fares can be lower than has been here tofore supposed. It is estimated that a trip from Hamburg to Heligoland can be made for 100 marks ($25), and pas sengers can travel an entire day, go- ing as far as Berlin or Copenhagen.
 The new aerial liners will have cab ins holding 20 persons each and the rooms will be equipped in luxurious style.

NEW TYPE OF TORPEDO
 SUBMARINE INVENTED

 The vessel is known as the 'sub-surface torpedo boat and from the nature of it's construction is expected to be immune from the small gunfire of battleships and cruisers. It has an unsuitable surface hull divided into compartments. From this is suspended, below the surface, an other hull. containing all the machinery and torpedo armament. The entire ves- sel weighs about six tons and Is 46 feet long, It is an invention of Clarence l.. Burger, Princeton graduate.

CANADIANS IGNORANT
 OF AMERICAN TARIFF

washington March 13.-A general misconception of the provisions of the Tinted States tariff Is believed to be largely responible for the little progress thus far made in the tariff issues be- tween the American commissioners and the Canadian authorities in their Ot- tawa conferences It is learned at the state department that previous to their arrival assertions were very generally made that the United States tariff on Canadian products was twice as high as the Canadian price on products of the United States. This was shown to be an error.
 The tariff officers of the United States presented official statistics showing that on the imports from Canada into the United States for the fiscal year 1908 the average ad valorem rate on dutia- ble and free imports was only 11.2 per cent and on dutiable imports was 19.4 per cent On the other hand. it was shown that the Canadian average ad valorem rate on free and dutiable i'm ports from the United States was l2.o per cent and on dutiable imports was 24.9 per cent. The total duty collected by Canada on all imports from the United States amounted to $22,6Oo,Ooo.
 It was disclosed that the material reductions made by the Payne-Aldrich law on Canadian imports into the United States were not understood In Canada. On the basis of the fiscal year quoted the reduction amounted to more than r$1.000,000, equivalent to a reduction of nearly 10 per cent. part of the year quoted was one of indus trial depression, but on the volume of business which is already shown for the present year, the reduction will prove to be much larger.
