LOUISIANA FAVORS
MONEY FOR EXPOSITION
Delegation in Congress Meets and In.
dorses San Franciseos
"Big" Show.

Unanimous Endorsement was given by
the Louisiana Congressional delegation,
when it met yesterday, to the project to
have the United States government par
ticipate in the exposition at San Fran
cisco in 1915.
The question OF legislation along this
line was taken up and discussed and
the Representatives and Senators from
Louisiana, extending the good hand of
fellowship to the California people, re-
corded themselves as heartily in favor
of the proposition. Louisiana and Cali
fornia two years ago locked horns in a
fierce struggle before Congress for gov-
ernmental sanction for an exhibition to
commemorate the opening of the Panama
Canal. 1t was a masterful fight waged
by both States. Victory, by a narrow,
uncomfortable margin, rested with the
Californians.
At yesterdays session of the Louisiana
delegation, Representative and Senator
elect Broussard was instructed to make
statement on the delegation's express
ed intention to favor and support the
Rodenberg measure.
I'VE people of louisiana" he said,
know that il is absolutely necessary
that the United States government parti-
clpate in this exposition. We waged a
bully fight for the exposition location,
but were worsted. California knew she
had been in a scrap when we got through
with her. We have no sore spots in
Louisiana character. and to-day we
stand ready to aid California to the
best of our ability to make her show
the greatest the world has ever seen"

MUCH CONFUSION
OVER LACE SCHEDULE
Ways and Means Committee Hears All
Kinds Of Testimony Relative
to the Tariff.

Indications that the writing of duties
on lace and lace products il going to be
the most difficult part of framing a re-
vision of schedule ]. of the tariff law.
were numerous al the hearings before
the House Ways and Means Committee
yesterday. The committee was confronted
with variety of requests, ranging from,
appeals for an increase in some OF the
duties which now run as high as Z per
cent to pleas for putting the raw ma
terial used in manufacturing on the free
list. Importers disputed the contentious
of manufacturers that the industry is
not a profitable one in this country. They
estimated that the domestic production
of certain varieties of machine-made lace
ran as high as 100000 a year, where
as the manufacturers claimed that 1t
was less than S2,5000oo.
Demands also were made that a num-
Der of lace products be put under the
cotton schedule instead Of under schedule
J, which is supposed to cover fax, hemp,
and jute products. 1t was evident that
the committee will undertake some kind
of reciassification as suggested by the
importing interests.
Fifteen witnesses were heard. The COM
mittee on Monday will take up the wool
schedule. About thirty witnesses are on
the list for 4 hearing under this sched-
ule. but the committee hopes to hear all
of them In a single day.

PASSES THE HOUSE
Conference Report Containing the
IIliteraey Test Is Adopted BY
Vote of 166 to II.

BY a vote of 166 to II the House
yesterday adopted the conference re-
port on the Burnett immigration bill
and eliminated the provision objected
to by the Senate, which precluded ad-
mission to American ports of immi-
grants without character certificates
II they hail from countries issuing such
certificates.
This action was taken on recommen-
dation Of the House conferees, who re-
ported that the Senate would not yield
on this paragraph in the Burnett i'm
migration bill. The conference report
as adopted is identical otherwise with
that which was approved by the House
last week. and the Senate. II is eI
pected. will take prompt action on the
amended conference report.
The principal provision in the Bur-
nett bill as now finally approved Is the
iliiteracy test. which bars any alien
who cannot read his own or some
other language. Representatives Gold
fogle. SABBATH. Moore. and Bartholdt
bitterly opposed the illiteracy test dur
ing the debate yesterday, but the
House. for the second time, refused TO
strike it from the bill
The Burnett immigration bill also
amends the immigration laws by rails
ing the head tax on immigrants to 81
and assessing 800 fine against any
steamship company which knowingly
brings into this country one OF the
excluded classes. including an insane
person.
The bill also provides for additional
inspectors at the various ports. who
shall see that immigrants for interior
points are started properly upon their
journey. Additional medical inspectors
and nurses who shall attend steerage
passengers on ocean liners are also
provided for in the bill

FIXES SIZE OF SHIPS
THAT CAN PASS CANAL
Rear Admiral Watt, Chief Constructor
of Navy, Places Formula at
ITO by 1000 by 40.

Rear Admiral Richard NJ. Watt. chief
constructor of the navy, has just re-
turned from Panama, where he went to
determine the limitations of the canal.
on which will depend all future con-
structiOn of battleships by the United
States and other great naval powers.
The formula of ultimate construction
which he brings back is ITO by 1000 by
10 feet. This means that the biggest ship
that can go through the canal will have
measurements of ITO feet beam, 1000 feet
in length, and a draft of 40 feet
Thirty y-five-foot vessels can go through
what Admiral Watt calls low water in
the canal Forty feet is the maximum
and means high water in the canal.
At the present time the Navy Depart
ment has knowledge that one of the
maritime nations intends to build a ves-
sci which will have a length of 750 feet.
while some of the vessels of the United
States Navy have length of 700 feet.
The report has revived a rumor at the
Navy Department that the constructors
are now planning for F,0co-ton war
ship.
Admiral Watt says that instructions
have not come to him as yet with ref
erence to such a vessel, but 1t is not
unlikely that the specifications will be
prepared by the general naval board OF
