The problem Of japanese iEnmigvatiou
to the Pacific coast, which stirred up
such a row during che Iast administra-
tion. has come to a head again through a
bin introduced in the House BY Repre-
sentative Hayes lRep. Gall and report
ga unanimously from the conmittes on
immigration, Of which he Is a member.
The bill, innocent looking on ita face
IS now the subject Of diplomatic eorrs-
spondenee between the United States and
Japan, and Il it becomes d law it win
probably settle, not only the Japanese
problem, but immigration questions that
arise in connection with other races.
The principal thing that the Japanese
objected 70 in the San Francisco school
dispute was the word Monaghan" They
declared that they were not Mongolians
and that anyhow they were entitled I'M
der the famous "moat-favored nation
clause" to the privileges extended to any
other nation.
Hayes bill gets around this IN a clever
way and is reported BY the House com-
mittee on immigration a. being based on
the soundest principles, that should gov
ern al immigration into this country.
No race Is mentioned IN the proposed
law; the terms Japanese or Monaghan
do not appear. II is little bill and
very short, and seeks to amend very
obscure section Of the revised statutes BY
declaring that no person who Is not
eligible 10 naturalization as citizen Of
the United States shall be admitted to
this country except travellers and stu
dents. Japanese are not eligible to citi-
zenship under the laws Of the United
States But, when they are admitted,
their children become native born citi-
zens. Hayes argues that Il q person Is
not fit to become citizen his children
should not become citizens through the
admission Of their parents 10 this coun-
try. The Bin appears 70 be in fair
way to be passed at this session Of Con-
gress.

Earth Goes Through
Tail Wednesday Night

WASHINGTON, May 17.-About
27000,00 miles off into space Hal
ley's comet is performing all sorts Of
lofty tumbling today and Is hurrying
toward cid mother earth at the rate OF
some forty miles a second.
Out at the naval observatory in the
midst Of telescopes. spectroscopes and
other queer looking instruments, Prof
Asaph Hall and his corps of scientists
spent several hours with the comet
this morning. According to Prof. Hall
the tail of the comet will sideswipe
the earth tomorrow evening and we
will be 1oundering about in IL the bet
ter part of Wednesday night. But all
the sky shaTps here agree that there
Is no cause for apprehension. The

works and some illumination of the
sky the comet will slide by without
extraordinary incident.
According to the observers at the
naval observatory, the caudal APP
pendage Of the comet this morning
stretched for some 92 or 90 degrees
across the heavenly way, or about
25, 100000 miles. As the scientists
watched, the tail was first visible. A
fan shaped ray Of light climbed up
over the horizon shortly after 3
o'clock this morning, branching and
expanding as II arose until when Il
circled laEily into a sort of rainbow
against the sky, the flaming ball that
marks the head and body OF the
heavenly wanderer hove into sight.

THE
DETROIT OPERA HOUSE.

An unpleasant play given life and
meaning by the splendid acting OF
Margaret Anglin and the perfect sup
port Of caste which includes no
player insufficient TO the role allotted
to him or her Is THE Awakening OF
Helena Richie" which is at the Detroit
Opera house for half weeks stay,
From the standpoint OF acting, this
play is the greatest OF Margaret
Anglin's triumphs since she has mad
TO make her own opportunities. By
her vivid depletion of the sufferings OF
a woman whose life has slipped into
wrong lines, and who is seeking TO
atone for her previous mistakes, she
makes grand success of this dramati-
Zation by Charlotte Thompson OF Mar
garet Leland's popular novel.
Given an entertaining and explana.
tory first act and a powerful dramatic
second act, in which the story is vir-
tually all told, the actress Is left to
create by her own force and emotional
power an interest which holds the
auditor through two more acts to the
final curtain. That this interest ia
sustained and even heightened during
The closing acts. when the expected
happens, reflects the more credit upon
he woman whose talent is responsible
therefor.
AS study in soulagonies, THE
Awakening OF Helena Richie" has It's
principal appeal. A woman who has
fled from the harsh brutality of an un-
happy married life to lazy, contented
life as the mistress of an ardent but
selfish lover is brought, by the influ.

ence OF child's innocence, TO realize
her degradation and to spiritual re-
birth which promises a future of self
sacEihce and devotion. Despite the
theme, the play is delicate, as would
be expected from the collaboration OF
woman author, a woman dramatist
and woman star, and the preaching
Is along conventional lines which are
never deviated from.
As presented, the play Is a master
piece of production. Ii Is as II por-
ton OF the village OF Old Chester as
Il was in 1860 had been brought TO
life again. Not only are the scenic
embellishments and the costumes true
TO detail, but the manners and habits
OF thought of the period have been
copied painstakingly and accurately.
The setting OF the second act particu'
larly-an old-fashioned dooryard with
an apple tree in blossom I'm the fore
grounds poetic In its naturalness.
This setting does much to enhance the
effect OF the strongest portion Of the
play.
AS the play opens. Helena Riches
husband is in Paris killing himself by
dissipation, while she, with plenty OF
money to crafty her needs, has es-
tablished herself in Old Chester. Her
lover. Lloyd Pryor, is known there as
her brother. Although the village
makes social overtures to her, Helena
lives her own life alone, making
friends quietly, but refusing all invi-
tations through an innate womaniy
dread Of shamming further than IS
necessary. Her dream is OF the death
of her husband and her marriage to
Pryor.
DR.. Lavendar, lovable clergyman
is persuaded by DR.. William King. a.
gentle and kindly physician, to leave
an orphan child with Helena, believing
her a widow. The child seems TO her
to take the place Of the one which died
