immigration Bill Discussed.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The senate
Monday adopted all the committee
amendments to the immigration bill,
with the exception of one prescribing
an educational test, and also the action
of the committee in striking out sec
ton 36, prohibiting the sale of intoxi-
cants within the capitol building, and
then laid aside the bill until tomorrow,
to pass a number of unobjected pen
sion bills. The amendment fixing a
SO head tax on each immigrant coming
into the United States furnished the
principal topic for debate.
Senator Quay Of Pennsylvania sent
to the desk and had read the resolu.
tions adopted by the Indian territory
executive committee on territorial
legislation in opposition to the state
hood bill combining Oklahoma and In
dian territories, expressing sympathy
for Oklahoma in her efforts to secure
statehood, appealing for some form OF
local self government, such as Is pro-
vided for in what is known as the
Moon bill, and denouncing certain peo-
pie who, it is charged, have misrepre-
sented the desires of the citizens of
Indian territory with regard to joint
statehood with Oklahoma.

Tacoma Funeral Stopped.

Tacoma, Wash, Dec. S.-A wal
among local undertakers, which has
been brewing for years, eliminated
Sunday in the first appeal ever made
to Washington count to prevent the
burial OF corpse. The court granted
an injunction to Conrad l.. Hoska, who
prevented the burial of William f.
Brink, longshoreman. The question
comes up Monday for settlement.
The longsho, eman's union, of which
Brink was a member, desired to bury
him at their expense. They waited
upon Hoska, local undertaken, and
informed him of their purpose.
The body of the dead man, in the
meantime had been taken to the un.
dertaking parlors of c. c. Mellinger
The latter refused to give up Brink s
body. The claim of Mellinger was
that the betrothed of Brink had rep.
resented to him she desired Mellinger
to bury her brother. The longshore.
men, who intended to delray all ex.
penses, objected to this program, and
asked to be allowed to make prepara.
tions for the burial. This Mellinger
denied and an appeal was taken to the
court.
The first funeral was set for today
but since the court has prevented the
burial through an injunction, this has
been postponed, and the body will be
held pending an outcome of the case
