coran Exhibit.

So heavy fas the baIloting last
week in the popular contest of the
Corcoran Gallery Of Art that the tell.
ers could not finish counting the

fore the close OF yesterday afternoon,
when 5000 persons visited the exhibit
tion, and most OF them voted.

dunn had aroused great interest in the
exhibition, and had been especially val
liable in stimulating interest.
The tellers were representatives of
local newspapers. The trustees asked
the nwspaper men to count the bal
lots because of the great interest
taken by the papers here in the con-
test.

Says He VIII Not OFFER Any "WhIte

Asked this afternoon IL there would
be any effort to amend the Mann law
so as to exclude noncommercial cases,
Congressman Mann, author of the
measure, replied.
Not on my part. I have never
heard any talk in Congress about
changing the law, although there
has been talk on the outside of
amending 1t. The Department of
Justice has wanted to strengthen the
law, while other people wanted to
weaken tiff you can call 1t that
by excluding non-commercial cases."
