BILL MAY Be
VOTED DOWN
Tillman and Bacon in
Warm Debate
Senator's Afraid Measure viii Have
Bad Effect on Southern States.
Truce Declared Until
Tomorrow
BY Associated Pross.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The sudden
development of full-hedged hlibuster
resulted today in the senate when an
attempt was made to force the adop-
ton of the conference agreement on the
immigration bill This report carries a
provision intended to bring about a
settlement of the Japanese-C California
school problem, and speedy action was
desired by administration senator's.
Expressing sympathy with this OBJ
ject, yet regarding the report with sus-
picion on other points, Messrs. Bacon
and Tfllman voted to have action de-
layed until tomorrow, that they might
study the report.
When this was refused the fllibuster
began. Mr.. Bacon held the floor for two
and half hours. Mr.. Tillman said he
was prepared to make ten-day fi8ht
on the floor against the report, because
he objected to being run over by an
automobile.
Mr.. Bacon objected on the ground
that the report changed existing law
in respects which, he believed, if car
states from obtaining even the meager
labor supply from abroad which was
available under the present immigra-
tion laws.
Truce Is Declared
A truce was declared until tomor-
row, at the suggestion Of Senator
Spooner, when the report will again
come up for consideration.
Administration senators interested in
the adoption of the report were alarmed
by apparent Democratic hostility. All
of the Democratic leaders when ques-
toned as to their attitude disclaimed
the addition of a party policy in re-
gard to the report, and the senators
making the objections insisted that they
were actuated wholly by resentment of
what they thought was an attempt to
force immediate action.
Senator Blackburn, chairman of the
Democratic steering committee, said he
| felt sure there was no disposition to
flibuster against the report beyond
carrying it over until tomorrow.
| Senators Bacon and Tillman made a
J similar statement. They affirmed that
the restriction of immigration provided
in what is Familiarity known as the
Japanese coolie labor" is Of great i'm
portance. They could not say what
their attitude would be.
1t was made plain. however, that
they would consider the report over
night and then if the question proved
one on which it was advisable to hold
a conference, the party will be called
together tomorrow.
The session was begun with an ex-
tended address by Senator Knox in de-
fense of the right of Reed Smoot to his
seat as a senator from Utah. The
agricultural appropriation bill was also
considered.
