Educational Clause May Come Out
Foreign Inspectors Favored

The immigration bills. which Senate
and House passed last session under the
same title. but with a totally different
text. viii be considered soon by the
conferees. Speaker Cannon and others
are interesting themselves in having the
measure completed by a compromise.
The bone Of contention is the educa-
tionaI test. which Senator Lodge had in
serted in the Senate. but which the
House rejected. In the House II is now
proposed 10 substitute for the Lodge pro
vision one authorizing police control Of
immigrants AT foreign ports. such as the
stationing Of physicians and inspectors
there To determine who are qualified I'M
der the laws to come % the United States
Thus the deportation Of immigrants
would be eliminated 10 a large extent.
The question OF the cOnstitutionality Of
such a provision has been raised, but
neither the Speaker nor others Of the
House leaders believe the objection is a
valid one.
IF the bill is ever brought out OF con-
ference and enacted into law, II probably
viii be through . compromise along these
lines. The measures passed b. Senate
and House are so drafted that the con-
ferees. practically viii have the making
Of the law Apart from the educational
clause. the differences can be easily ad-
justed.

DEAF MUTES MAKE MERRY.
Hold Christmas Festival at Trinity
Parish Hall

The first Christmas festival of the
Protestant Deaf Mute Mission of Wash
ington was held in Trinity Parish Hail
Monday evening.
The entertainment was unique in that
it was carried out in the fashion of the
deaf by signs and the language of the
fingers. There was a Santa Claus. Tecita-
tons, readings, and dialogues, all in the
language Of the deaf. All present under
stood the sign language, and while the
silent mirth of the deaf seemed strange
TO those who could bcar it, it was none
the less real. and much merriment pre-
vailed.
Incidental to the festival literary so
ciety was formed by a number of those
present. by means Of which il is pro-
posed to bring the mutes of the city
together for literary and social purposes.
The society will meet bi-weekly at

the Senate and House, of which the New

session.
IL has been charged and never success
'ully contradicted, that the gas company
has powerful friends IN both branches Of
Congress, and that it has looked after its
friends during Congressional campaigns
with contributions FOR expenses. A United

District Of Columbia Committee, died
within recent years owning $4,000 Of the
stock. That fact has encouraged the re-

owned by not a few Senators and mem

were burned. which prevented Official in
