EXPOSITION EOR 1915
Sun DIi'ko Was Voted Out at the Con

lllght Preference for
Exposition.
(Special to Evomng News.)
SANTA BARBARA, Cal., March 23
Expecting that the Panama canal
will be finished in 1916 the cities of
San Francisco and San Diego have
both planned to hold a world's fair in
that year In ecelebratlon of the event.
Before the big earthquake that pret
ty nearly put Sun Francisco out of
the way as a competitor in this affair,
the business men there had practical
ly decided upon a fair to celebrate
the completion of the big ditch, but
following the disaster the matter was
almost forgotten for a few years. In
the meantime San Diego conceived
the idea of an exposition in honor of
the event. This brought the question
to a focus and for several months the
two cities have been disputing the
right of each to the first place in
this affair. The question was sub
mitted to a conference of the cites of
the Btute for adjustment, and In the
conference Just held In this city San
Francisco was decided upon ns the
location for the exposition of 1915.
San Diego, however, refuses to sub
mit to the decision, and announces
that she will go ahead with her own
exposition as previously planned for
that year.

Brought Against Hymen WoHcnburg
for Po.syt'HHlon of City Property,
Simon Cnro today filed suit In the

Wollenherg possession of lots 1 and
2 in block 12, and lot 4 In block
29, which Caro alleges Wollenherg
holds under a deed which wns given,
accepted and intended as a mortgage.
This deed, Cnro claims, wnB givt-n
Wollenherg to hoc lire to Mm the pay
ment of $16,610.10, which Caro was
owing Wollenherg, and that It was
elvcn puroly with the intention of
convoying the proporty. In trust to
Wollenherg until such time as he
(Cnro) could redeem the same .
Cnro further alleges that he per
mitted Wollenbcrg to obtain poses
slon of the property In controversy
for the purpose of collecting and np
plylng the rents In satisfaction of the
mortgaged Indebtedness. He declares
that Wollenherg has collected the
rents nnd has failed to apply the
same In payment of the mortgago;
that Hymen has, in fnct, carefuly de
posited ouch renials In his trousor's

own trousers' pocket !s equal pimnl
hly to the amount of the inortgHge
Indehetednets.
Wherefore Rlmon preyK the court
for a decree declaring the deed a.
mortgage, and granting him the right
to redeem tho same.
