THE IMMIGRATION
BILL IN CONGRESS
SAID TO BE A STRONG LOBBY
AGAINST IT-sONIE OF THE REA-
SONS WHY.

WASHINGTON, December 10.-The
largest lobby known in Washington in
years is here working to defeat the
passage of the immigration bill. 1t is
composed of representatives of the
transatlantic and Oriental steamship
lines, which see in the enactment of
the measure an immense reduction in
their revenues. This lobby is most ac-
tive and is working openly. Its men,
bers frankly say they are opposed to
the immigration bill because it is a
menace to their passenger business.
There is a general impression that
the immigration bill will pass the Sem
ate before the end of the session. 1t
was passed by the House last session.
The educational test clause will prob
ably be stricken out and then the
measure will become a law, even to
the clause inserted by the temperance
members of the House, prohibiting the
sale of liquor in the Capitol.
The House placed this eXtraneous
provision in the bill expecting that the
Senate would strike it out, but the
Senators say they are not prepared to
bear the odium which will attach to
their action if they strike out the
House clause. There is a growing sus-
picion that the friends of the lobby
are seeking to delay the passage of
the bill by obstructive tactics, but it is
not believed they will be strong
enough to prevent its passage.
The Senate Committee on Immigra-
ton today continued it's hearing on
the immigration bill, the first witness
being William Haywood, representing
the Hawaiian Sugar Planters AssOcia-
ton and the Chamber of Commerce of
Honolulu. Mr. Haywood's objections
were directed solely to the educational
Nv ha
he said, would keep out of Hawaii the
only labor that 1t can obtain and in
| time would produce financial ruin. The
| Hawaiian planters, he said, have tried
| for years at great expense to get white
! labor to work in the fields, but without
! success. Japan is now the only country
| from which labor can be obtained and
the educational test would keep out all
| the Japanese.
Colonel Joseph Smolinski, represent
| ing the Polish American Alliance also
| spoke against the educational test.
Colonel Smolenski said there are almost
| 100000 Slavs in the United States.
! He declared that the Poles make eX-
cellent citizens, sober, industrious and
notably patriotic, but owing to the re-
strietions of the Russian, German and
Austrian governments on Polish aduca-
ton many good people would be kept
out by the educational test and their
aspirations for freedom be stihed.
A. p. Anderson, representing the
American Line Steamship Company
took exception to the amendments re-
Gently made to the bill imposing fines
on transportation companies for bring
ing in diseased aliens and placing or
immigrants suspected of crime the bur
den of proof for establishment of theil
innocence. He also objected to the pro-
posed head tax of SO.

DEATH CALLS
THOMAS B. REED
DIES OF BRTGHT'S DISEASE AT
WASHINGTON - OVER TWENTY
YEARS IN CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, December Thomas
Bracket Reed, former Speaker of the
House of Representatives, died at the
Arlington Hotel, at 1910 this Sunday
morning.
The end came peacefully, Mrs Reel,
Miss Kittie Reed, DR.. Mcdonald, Dr.
Goodnow, DR.. Gardiner, DR.. Bishop and
the nurses being at the bedside. Kidney
trouble, developed from an acute case
of Bright's disease, was the cause of
death.
Thomas Bracket Reed was born in
Portland, Me, October IS, 1899. The
home in which he was born, an old two
story frame structure, shaded by large
elm trees, is only a few rods distant
from that in which the poet Longfellow
first saw the light and almost on the
spot where George Cleve, the first set
tier on Portland Neck and an ancestor
of Reed, built his rough cabin in 1882.
His father, Captain Thomas b. Reed,
was a native of Portland, and was mas
ter of a number of coasting vessels.
He graduated at Bowdoin college in
1860 and came to California the next
year. He returned to Maine three
years later, served a year in the navy
and then began practicing law in Port
land, Me. He was elected to Congress
in 1876 and served continuously until he
resigned in 1899, being speaker several
times. He has since practiced law in
