WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-A strong re-
port favoring the rigid exclusion and de-
portation of alien anarchists has been
made by the House Committee on Ju-
dietary. The report says:
''It is admitted on all hands that the
question is one of ve-y great importance,
and that. legislation on the subject is
called for by every consideration of pub
lie safety. The committee advises that
owing to the severe legislation contin-
ually adopted by France and Italy, q
great many dangerous anarchists are
making their way to the United States,
and, as under existing laws, they cannot
be denied admission to our territory, the
United States will soon be the rendezvous
for these human monsters, unless the
proposed legislation is speedily adopted.
Your committee is of the opinion that
the United States is fully justified by ex-
listing conditions in using all its powers
to prevent immigration and settlement in
this country of men who repudiate all
law, all government, and practically pro-
claim themselves as the enemies OF man
kind.
hamper the rigorous and prompt eXecu-
ton of law providing for the exclusion
and deportation by hundreds of unneces-
sary proceedings or delays. and is now
willing to concede that the Superin-
tendent of Immigration and the Secre-
tary of the Treasury may not be fully
trusted to contine the operation OF the
law to those who are justly subject to
It's provisions"
tal- hn flhi
tons made to the proposed measures,
and disposes of each of them. Concern
ing the objection that the bill is faulty in
not defining anarchists, the report says:
''As the meaning of the word is defined
as absence of government, state Of So
ciety where there is no law or supreme
power, state of lawlessness and politi-
cal confusion,' and its meaning well
known, it is considered unnecessary to
cucumber the Act with special defini-
tion.D
The committee meets the objection that
person should not be charged with an
archy and deporteG without jury trial,
by saying: sit would hardly be con-
tended, we suppose, that the Govern
ment should maintain a jury at every
port of entry for the purpose of passing
on the qualifications OF immigrants who
desire to enter and acquire rights not
possessed by she foreigner who desires to
enter. We are unable to perceive upon
what principle a jury trial ls insisted
upon in order to deport an alien whose
residence in the country is considered
detrimental to the public welfare"
In conclusion, the report states that
there is full constitutional power for the
enactment of the proposed law, and there
is urgent necessity for the immediate
passage of the bill.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-There was not
a quorum present when the House began
it's session to-day, but the members
sought TO take up several measures by
unanimous consent.
The Senate bill for the exclusion and
deportation of alien anarchists was called
up.
Warner of New York objected to the
consideration of the bill. II regret" he
said, II must always stand here and pro-
test against putting in the hands of adj
ministration officers the enormous power
conferred by the bill.'
"Does not the gentleman know" inter
posed McMillin, that 500 anarchists are
already known to the police to be on the
way to these shores?'
1.-The gentleman from New York; re-
piled Mr.. Warner, emphatically, can
not be panic-stricken, and he objects to
giving olliceES Iue power 10 deporL Sucn
persons as they deem offenders"

statute" suggested Oates, sit is given the
common-law Interpretations
"Therevis no definition of anarchist in
common law" replied Warner, ''and I
object to the consideration OF the bill.n
a resolution to print 20 600 copies of the
tariff bill was passed, also the bill to
grant the Duluth and Winnipeg Railroad
the right of way through the Chippewa
and White earth Indian Reservations.
At 1925 the House adjourned until II
