NEW ORLEANS CHOSEN.
Southern City Wins Fight For Big
Exposition.

New Orleans wins her fight for the
big exposition to be held in celebra-
ton of the opening of the Panama
canal in 1915. The House Committee
on Industrial Arts and Expeditions, by
a vote of nine to six, favored the
Crescent City over San Francisco,
which has been a strong contender
for the exposition. The fight between
the cities will be carried to the floor
Of the House, but, with the committee
behind New Orleans, her chances are
now infinitely better than ever before.
The New Orleans people are confident
the House will sustain the committee
The committee, after deciding in
favor of New Orleans, named a sub
committee to draft bill, embodying
the essential points for which New
Orleans commended. The Government
will be committed to participation in
the exposition, and s1,0O0,00O will be
appropriated for a Government dis
play, as a starter. How much more
the Government will be called upon
to do remains to be seen.

SOUGHT HIS LIFE.
French Premier Was Target of Would
Be Assassin.

Two revolver shots were fired at
Premier BRAND in the chamber of dep,
uties at Paris. He was unframed.
This is the second recent assault
upon the premier On November 20,
in the course of the ceremonies in the
Tuilleries gardens, in connection with
the dedication of statue Of Jules Fer
ry, NJ. Lacour, a Royalist, struck Mr..
BRAND twice in the face with his cane.
The premier was not seriously injured.
Lacour subsequently was sentenced to
three years Imprisonment.
Seven months earlier a workman
named Duplanil, armed with two re-
volvers and a knife, was arrested as
he attempted to force his way into a
hotel at Saint Etienne, where the pre-
mier was stopping. The prisoner was
thought to have been unbalanced men,
tally. His grievance was the premier's
attitude in the electoral campaign.
The would-be assassin is a man
named Gissolme, who was formerly
clerk of the courts of Bayonne. He
was pounced upon by police officers
before he could use his weapon again
if he had such intention and was hur-
ried from the place.
