emphatic that an official notice was

Rev. Father Coogan, assistant rector
OF the church, not only told them to go
ahead but was instrumental in booking
some OF the talent When asked about
the matter, Father Coogan said today:
ooh, boxing is under the ban in our

THE TARIFF BOARD.

In debate lasting far into the night
the bill establishing permanent tariff
commission was forced through the
House. Though many Of the old-line
republican leaders bitterly opposed the
idea, under pressure from the admins
Lration forces, the republicans were
lined up pretty solidly behind the
measure which represented the demand
OF President Taft for the establishment
Of permanent tariff commission with
broad powers of investigation.
At 11:40 O'Clock last night the bill
was passed, nnamlnded, by vote OF
1S6 ayes to 93 noes.
The bill provides for 4 permanent
board Of five members, three OF the
majority and two OF the minority party,
to be appointed by the president, TO
investigate tariffs, comparative cost and
gather all facts in this country ard
abroad relating to tariffs and trade, TO

favor OF San Francisco.
Mr.. Gardner. rpm, Mass.) the
former insurgent leader, followed in
advocating San francisco.
Mr.. Keliher, (dem., Mass.) was the
first democrat to state his preference
for San Francisco. He was greeted
with loud applause.
Mr.. Payne, the republican floor
leader, declared his preference for San
Francisco and paid a tribute to the
people OF the city for their energy and
courage.
Mr.. Tawney. was greeted with thun-
ders OF applause as he arose and de-
clared in favor of the Golden Gate city.
Mr.. Rodenberg, (rpn., Ill.) chairman
of the House committee on industrial
arts and expositions, and the main
New Orleans supporter, arose amid a
roar of applause and yells to urge the
Crescent City. He appealed to the
House to support the action Of the
committee in favor OF New Orleans.
The Illinois member asserted that
for the same money it took to go to
San Francisco any man east OF Omaha
could 60 to New Orleans, thence to
Panama and back again.
Tremendous enthusiasm was created
on both sides of the House when Rod
enberg in final wild burst of oratory
referred to "the sentimental side"
1--WE love to talk about reunited
people," he said, and got no further.
A perfect pandemonium broke on the
democratic side while the orator yelled
that there should be something to COM
memorate the reunion and that New
Orleans offered the opportunity.
Seldom has the House witnessed such
an ovation.
Representative Kahn, was the last
speaker for the coast. He said that
already 100000 had been appro-
priated for Mississippi valley expositions
and now that the coastappealed merely
for an authorization to hold an exposi-
ton, while not asking the taxpayers
for cent.
BY a vote of 1S9 to 159 the House
decided to consider the Kahn resolution
sending the Panama exposition to San
Francisco. This cuts off all considera-
ton Of New Orleans as the location OF
the fair.
All the Virginia representatives, ex-
cept Mr.. Maynard, voted for New Or
leans.
San Francisco adherents split the
roofs with cheers and applause when
the Speaker amid y dead silence that
fell like blanket on the confusion,
announced that the San Francisco fair
bill should be considered.

The Mylius Libel Case.

London, Jan. S1.-Orershadowing
the opening of parliament in the
general interest that it has awakened,
the case OF Edward T. Myths, charged
with defamatory libel against King
George, will be tried before the lord
chief justice and special jury to-
morrow. Everybody is expecting Myl-
ius to spring a sensation, though what
it may be, none can predict.
The fact that Myths has refused
every offer OF clemency if he would
simply retract his published state
ments in the Liberator that King
George, as Duke of York, contracted q
morganatic marriage in 1890 with the
daughter OF Admiral Sir Culme Sey-
mour, leads to the belief that lie has
found evidence in support OF his charge.
This opinion is strengthened by the
fact that up to date Myths has not
asked for the services OF an attorney,
indicating that he will conduct his
own defense.
Unless Myths has such evidence, the
trial probably will be brief. The crown
advocate is prepared to disprove the
story OF the morganatic marriage and
will present the marriage registers OF
the island OF Malta and Of Mediter-
rannean ports covering all the time OF
the kings service in the navy, when the
alleged marriage is said to have taken
place. These, it is said, show no
record OF the marriage:
Myths insists that the records are
not good proof, as the marriage, as a
matter of course, was under assumed
names.
It was officially announced today
that the trial would be made public.
1t is unlikely that the king will take the
stand in his own defense. He has ex-
pressed a desire to do so but the crown
insists that it would be lending too
much Importance to the basencss and
vile rumors' for George to deny them
in perSon.
