RAILROADS FIGHT
 FOR EXPOSITION

Washington December 1.-(Special)-T struggle between New Orleans and San Francisco for the honor of having the Panama canal exposition in 1915 took a new turn today when the charge was freely made that the fight had really developed into a transcontinental rail- road war. Both New Orleans and San Francisco have headquarters in Washing ton and an active and energetic lot of representatives. The New Orleans peo- pie have been, up to today. confident of winning, but when the hand of the rail roads became plain to them they lost a good deal of this confidence.
 It was charged by members of the New Orleans delegation that the Southern Pa cifc, Union Pacific. Northern Pacific and Central Pacific, with their allied lines, have gone into the fight for San Francis co On the other hand it is alleged that the Pennsylvania railroad, the Louisville and Nashville, Southern, Atlantic Coast Line and other lines are behind the New Orleans boomers. The railroads know that the exposition. wherever held, will be one of the greatest drawing cards in the history of the country and hence the rivalry.
 l. was stated that the Pennsylvania road had been neutral up to today, but had finally cast it's influence with the southern city as against the western. The New Orleans people resent the attitude of the Southern Pacific road, which has it's terminal in New Orleans. and pro- pose to bring all the pressure they can bear to compel it to change or stay out of the fight

NOTORIOUS BAND
 CAUGHT BY POLICE

New York, December 1.-The notorious Iuro gang of counterfeiters, whose mem bers were suspected of at least one mur- Ger and many black hand cases, was put out of existence. the police believe, by the arrest here today of 13 Italians and the seizure of a large amount of counter felt bills. Nine of the prisoners are be- lleved to be the rest of the gang, thi leaders of which were arrested last winter and are serving terms aggregating 15f years in the federal prison at Atlanta for counterfeiting.
 Today's arrests were made by Richard H. Taylor, head of the secret service In this city, his agents and members of the Italian bureau of the Metropolitan police. The nine men were held to be turned over to the federal authorities tomorrow, the other four were paroled as witnesses.
 The Lupo gang was headed by .Lupo the Wolf" who received a sentence of 90 years and Gisueppe Morello, sentenced to 25 years imprisonment. The Barrel mur- der was laid to members of the band, which manufactured counterfeit bills on . farm near Highland, N Y. Notwith- standing the fate of the men arrested last winler the circulation of the commercials continued and the secret service men be- -Neved that members of the band still out of jail were putting out bogus money which had been saved from the former raid
 As the result If the investigation the house in which the counterfeit bills were stored was found and the men suspected were rounded up. The counterfeit money generally consisting of bogus two and five dollar bills, Taylor said, was found in T fireplace in the rear of the cellar of q wine merchant one of the men under arrest.

Factors Tn Development Of
 Iron and Steel Industry
President Crawford Points Out Need of Home Markets and
 Establishmnt of Transportation Facilities

the south and west of us, and the discrim- mating duties downward in favor of yes sels engaged in the South American and far eastern trade would amount to very iitte as their principle exports to us, such tea, coffee, hides, raw silks, etc., are on the free list.
 The subject of proper transportation facilities from southern ports to the coun- tries with which we should naturally trade, Is of wider interest to the south than it's effect on the iron and steel trades although introduced in this con necton, and I commend it to the atten- tion of all thoughtful citizens for consid- eration, not only in its relation to the de- velopment of the shipping interests and Of our southern ports, but also in con- nection with the benefits which woul1 accrue to the interior.
 The people of the interior sometimes feel that they are not particularly inter- ested in tho development of the ports and of the shipping trade, but this will not tear analysis. The ports are the gate ways for the interior, and the ships are the transportation servants of the people of the interior; today the people of the interior are not as prosperous as they would be were the transportation facili- ties by sea reasonably good. There should by all means be regular sailings from southern ports to countries in South America in order that small lot snip ments between the countries could be made without the necessity of sending them via Europe.
 As to the future of the iron and steel trades of the southern district-the past marks a period where the splendid vitall- tv of the iron trade not only kept out the irons of other district, but shipped iron into them, while the problem of making steel from southern iron was being worked out.
 It has now been eonclusively demon strated that from southern pig Iron steel for rails. plates sheets, structural shapes bars and wire products can be made as good and of as uniform a quality as IS made today anywhere in the world.
 The steady increase of steel produced in the district and the steel plants now building mark the beginning of new reriod. and when the iron and steel trade Is equipped sufficiently to care Tor It's nat lfral markets there is no reason why 1t should not march rapidly to the front or the southern prosperity procession.
