WILL THE BILL BE PASSED ?
Treasury Officials Are De-
sirous That Some Protee-
ton Be Afforded.
MANY SERIOUS OBJECTIONS,
Which, With No Quorum in
the House, Will Easily
Defeat the Measure.


deportation OF alien anarchists has been
made by the house committee on judi
clary. The report says: ut is admitted
on all hands that the question is one of
very great Importance, and that legisla-
ton on the subject is called for by
every consideration of public safety.
The committee is advised that owing to
the severe Legislation recently adopted
by France and Italy great many dan
gerous anarchists are making their way
to the United States, and as under ex-
listing laws they cannot be denied adj
mission to our territory, the United
States will soon be the rendezvous of
these human monsters unless the pro-
posed legislation is speedily adopted.
''Our committee is of the opinion that
the United States Is fully justified by
existing conditions in using all its pow
ers to prevent immigration and settle
ment in this country of men who re-
pudiate all law, all government. and
practically proclaim themselves as the
enemies of mankind. The peculiar
method which they have adopted Of
impressing the public of the justice of
their views by
Detesta bic AssassinatiOns
and wanton destruction of property will
not recommend them to the favorable
consideration of any one in this cOun-
try.
Your committee has no disposition
to hamper the rigorous and prompt exc
cution of a law providing for their eX-
clusion and deportation by any unneces-
sary proceedings or delays, and is not
willing to concede that the Superlntend-
ent of immigration and secretary of the
treasury may not be fully trusted to
confine the operation of the law to those
who are justly subject to its pro-
Visions"
The report takes up the various OBJ
jections made to the proposed measure.
and disposes of each Of them. Concern
| ing the objection that the bill is faulty
in not defining anarchy, the report saws:
As the meaning of the word is defined
as absence of government. the state of
society where there is 10 law OF supreme
power; state of lawlessness; political
confusion" and its meaning we'll
known. it Is considered unnecessary to
cucumber the act with a special defini-
ton.
The committee meets the objection
that a person should not be charged
with anarchy and deported without jury
trial by saying:
'It would hardly be contended, we
suppose, that the government ought to
m q O O n
for the purpose of passing on the quail
fications of emlgrants who desire to
enter, and as the Immigrant who has
been permitted to enter acquires no
rights not possessed by the foreigner
who desires to enter, we are unable to
perceive upon what principle jury
trial is insisted upon in order to deport
an alien whose continued residence in
the country is considered detrimental
to its welfare"
In conclusion the report states that
there Is full constitutional power for the
enactment OF the proposed law, and that
there is
Urgent Necessity
for the Immediate passage Of such
measure.
Strenuous efforts are being made 10
pass the bill before congress adjourns.
Secretary Carlisle and Commissioner of
Immigration Stump are very desirious
of having this law as protection
against the 500 anarchists recently eX-
PEELED from foreign countries and now
en- route here. The treasury officials
have the CO. cooperation of Speaker Crisp
and the house managers, but thus far it
has been impossible to steer the bill past
the objections of Representative War;
ner. of New Y ork. and others, which, in
the absence of quorum, have prevented
tue passage OF the senate bill. When
Mr.. Warmers objection sidetracked the
bill today, efforts were at once made to
get consent by telegraph from MIR. Reed
for special rule bringing the bill to a
vote. If this is obtained the speaker
and Mr.. Catchings will frame the rule.
Mr.. Warner is not the only member
ready to object to the bill. Representa-
tive GoldZler, of Chicago, says the
measure is ill-considered and that it
makes no provision for designating who
are anarchists and subject TO summary
deportation without trial.
Mr.. GoldZier today sent the following
inquiry to the secretary of the treasury:
I'm view of the tendency of senate
bill 2314, which, as l am informed was
prepared by you, l desire for use in the
house your construction of the term
allen anarchist as used in said bill. In
other words, desire an outline of con.
struction which. under your decision,
the department would place on this
term in case the bill is passed"
Representative Warner says he will
renew his objection whenever the at
tempt TO pass the bill may be made.
His objections to the measure are that
it places the Indictment, trial and
sentence of citizens i'll the hands of adj
ministrative officers and on information
alone. Under it he asserts the harmless
man who gives voice to anarchistic
vaperings would be seized, while the
really dangerous and murderous char
acter would not be apprehended.
