MOVE TO EXCLUDE
ASlATICS is DEFEATED

Washington, D. G., Dec. 13.-Repre
sentatives Raker and Hayes of Cali
fornia. and Johnson of Washington
sought today to have the house immi
grafton committee incorporate in the
pending immigration bill an amend
ment for exclusion of Asiatics. The
fight in the committee was acrimon.
ious and confusion in the discussion
was SO marked that it was reported
an amendment had been carried for
Asiatic exclusion.
BY a close vote however, after re-
peated attempts, the question of in
cluding an inhibition against Asiatics
was deferred until later in the day
with the California and Washington
members of the committee insisting
on exclusion. The Asiatic exclusion
proposition will be finally disposed of
today by either tonight or tomorrow.

Chicago. H., Dec. 13,--Two thou
sand Chicago women at IA mass meet
ing here today, expressed their wrath
at the forced resignation of Ella Flags

The meeting was impressive in the
evidences to arouse indignation and
emotion under strong restraint. There
was little talk among the women as
they crowded into the big auditorium
nor were the speakers applauded as
they filed on the stage and took their
chairs awaiting the call of the chair
man, Mrs. Geo. w. Bass.
"A sense of the unusual seemed to
be in the air." to quote the comment
Of Mrs. Margaret Haley, author of the
resolutions.
AS other speakers We're heard
Jane Adams, Mrs. Jos. T.. Bowen,
Mrs. John McMahon--and the sense Of
the meeting expressed in words call
ing Mayor Harrison sharply to ac-
count. and stigmatizing the acts of the
offending members of the board of
education as ''underhanded and un-
principled,' the emotional restraint
gradually ebbed and the applause be-
came more full and generous.
Jane Adams blamed Mayor Harri-
son, who appointed most of the board
of education for the present situation.

which Mrs. Young's resignation was
forced and her successor elected

at was done in uniting secrecy. A
letter from the mayor was read in
which he said that he himself sympa-
thized with the women and that he
had been betrayed by men he trusted.
He alluded to the fact that the five
of members of the board
which he took the precaution to exact
when they were appointed had been
accepted. and declared that at least
two other members Of the board
would go if he had legal means to
bring it about.
