NOW UP TO SENATE.
Decision for Proposed Canal Fair
Site Given to Frisco by House.

The question Of whether the proposed
Panama exposition of 1915 to commence
rate the completion OF the Isthmian canal
shall be held at San Francisco or New
Orleans is now up to the Senate. 1t was
settled yesterday SO far as the House
of Representatives is concerned. by the
passage. by a vote Of 80 to AZ. of the
resolution introduced by Representative
Kahn of California providing that the big
fair be held at the Golden Gate city. An
hour or SO previously the House decided
by means of roll call to consider the
San Francisco proposition first. The vote
on this was 18S to 159. and answered all
the purposes Of final test. The New
Orleans boomers realized after this re-
suit had been announced that they had
nothing further to hope for SO far as
the House was concerned.
There is some talk of f1libuster in the
Senate against the Kahn resolution by
members of that body pledged to New
Orleans. The New Orleans advocates in
the House do not believe that San Fran
cisco will be Endorsed by that body in
the next Congress- owing to the large
democratic majority. 1t is possible that
this is true, and If members OF the Sem
ate are determined to prevent considera-
ton of the Kahn resolution between now
and March ii would be quite easy to do
this owing to pressure of business"
But SO far as the House is concerned the
fight is over and the San Francisco man.
ayers are centering their attention on
the upper branch of the national leg1s-
lature with q view to securing early and
favorable action.

1MR. P0U NOT TO HEAD

Place Likely to Go to Repre-
sentative Johnson of Ken
lucky, It Is Said.

Representative Pou Of North Carolina
who It had been practically decided
would be the chairman of the House COM
mittee on the District of Columbia in the
Sixty-second Congress. announced today
that he was no longer a candidate for
that Office. 1t is understood that Mr.. Pou
has been promised one of the places on
the committee on rules. He wanted to be
on the ways. and means committee, of
which he is a member at present, but he
could not make this. and accepted a
promise of the District of Columbia
craftsmanship. He was not perfectly sat
isf1ed, however. and has been dickering
for some time for something better.
His announcement of today is taken as
an indication that he has secured it. or
at least has received assurances OF sup
port for the rules committee or some
other place that he especially desired
But more interesting to the people of
the District of Columbia than Mr.. Pou's
mere announcement that he Is no longer
candidate for the District chairman
ship Is the fact that he practically abdi-
Gated in favor OF Representative Ben
Johnson OF Kentucky. Several members
Of the House expressed surprise today
when they learned that Mr.. Johnson
wanted to be chairman of the District
committee. Mr.. johnson is serving his
second term in the House.
