EXPOSITION WILL BE
 GREATEST EVER KNOWN

Washington, February 9.-That the ex- position in commemoration of the compile tiQp of the Panama canal. if presented at SU4 Francisco, would be the greatest ever known is the opinion expressed by the Senate committee on industrial exposi- tions in a report presented to the Senate today by MT. Jones of washington. chair man.
 This view is based on the fact that sl7.- 5000o0 has been promised by California for the proposed exhibition. The report makes 1t plain that the promise of the large sum had much influence in taking the exposition to the Pacific coast. Other reasons given are:
 That San Francisco asks no pecuniary aid from the national government; that the location at that point will have the effect of causing many to travel through the canal; that the trip will be of educa. tional advantage to visitors from the east and especially that 1t will be an encour- agement to trade with the Orient.
