NEW ORLEANS LOSES.
House Votes to Give Panama Exposi-
ton to San Francisco.

ton to San Francisco.
| Washington, Jan. 31.-The house to-
day by a vote of 1873 to 159 decided in
favor of San Francisco and against
New Orleans as the city in which an
exposition to celebrate the opening Of
the Panama canal in 1915 shall be held.
This vote was taken on a roll call to
determine whether the San Francis
so resolution or the New Orleans Dill
should have consideration in the house.
On a final vote the San Francisco res
olution was passed by vote OF 25s 10
43.
The advocates Of San Francisco are
claiming tonight that their hght is
won and that the senate will ratify the
action Of the house.
San Francisco won by capturing the
Republican vote in the house. New
Orleans support came from the DEM
ocrats. Only 30 Republicans voted Tor
New Orleans. Thirty-six Democrats
voted for San Francisco. The San
Francisco resolution does not ask for
government aid in any form. 1t SIM
ply authorizes the president OF the
United States to invite foreign nations
to participate in the fair.
| An effort to amend the resolution 10
include provisions for an international
naval parade from Hampton Roads
through the Panama canal and up the
kwest coast to San Francisco was de-
feated on a parliamentary point OF or
der.
The New Orleans bill called for an
appropriation Of s1,000,000 for gov
ernment exhibit and the creation OF
government commission.
The proceedings in the house, mark
ing the culmination of the exposition
fight, were most unique.
The galleries held the greatest
throngs of the present session and
there was no attempt to restrain the
applause that came from the specta-
tors as the fight progressed.
The rival claims Of the two cities
recently were put up to the rules
committee of the house. That commit
tee would not undertake to say which
exposition measure should have the
right of way but rendered a decision
that there should be q call Of the house
and each member was to rise in his
place and vote "San Francisco or
New Orleans" instead of AYE" or
mo" as usual on roll calls
This course was followed today and
during the taking Of the ballot ex-
citement ran high. The race between
the two cities was exactly a tie when
81 votes had been cast on each side.
It remained up to the 100 mark and
then San Francisco began to forge to
the front.
When the decision in favor Of the
California city was announced there
was q demonstration both on the floor
| and in the galleries.
Mr.. Carey Of Wisconsin evoked
laughter by responding milwaukee,
when his name was called.
Mr.. Moore of Pennsylvania voted
for Washington"

| The presentation Of San Franciscos
claim in the preliminary debate was in
the hands of Representative Gardner
of Massachusetts. Representative Ro-
denberg of Illinois handled the case
for New Orleans. He is chairman of
the exposition committee. which re-
ported in favor of New Orleans
| When Mr.. Rodenberg rose to pre-
sent the claims of New Orleans, he
was greeted with wild applause on the
Democratic side and scattering plau-
dts from among his fellow Republi-
cans. The rebel yell" frequently was
heard during the New Orleans dem
onstration.
Mr.. Rodenberg declared that "all the
nations of the earth, yea, even the
Japanese, would be welcome to New
Orleans" He closed with dramatic
tribute to the people of the south,
which called out the applause and con-
gratulations from both sides of the
chamber. Fifty or more members
crowded about him to shake hands
with him while the galleries applauded.
Mr.. Robenberg declared that no peo-
pie in the United States were more
loyal to the flag today than the people
of the south; that 1915 would be the
5Oth anniversary of the close of the
War of Secession and it was proposed
to hold in New Orleans during that
year a grand reunion of the men of the
Blue and the Gray.
