definite views on the subject Of this

in the closing days Of the republican
Congress. This determination was
strengthened by the argument of many
democrats that IL the amendment were
submitted to the States In its present
form, many friends Of Colonel Roose-

the ground that 1t would prohibit them
from renominating him IL they so de-

Washington, Feb H.-Presdent Taft to-
day vetoed the Dillingham; Burnett immi-
grafton bill which would revolutionlze the
immigration policy Of the United States
by imposing a literacy test upon all for
eigners seeking a home in America

nounced his disapproval Of the measure
solely because Of the provision which
would lock the doors Of tho United State.

language or dialect.
The veto message was accompanied b.
a letter to the President from Secretarv

radical provision based upon a fallacv

not calculated to reach the truth ami 10

The President adopted the secretary
position. Senate and House leaders lost
no time in arranging for an effort 70

sage was read, Senator's, Dillingham; and
Simmons and Representative Burnett
leading the congressional supporters OF
the measure, made arrangements to take
It up In the Senate on Monday ana
In the House on Tuesday With Senator

would be passed easily In both houses BY
the necessary two-thirds vote.

posed law wage1 a vigorous contest In

CONGRESS HALTS LEGISLATION
Shadow of Possible Intervention How
ers over the Closing Days Of
the Session.

Washington, Feb. 16,-With the shadow
OF possible Mexican intervention lowering
over Congress. general legislative activity
In both houses has come practically to a
standstil. No immediate need to take
up the question Of warlike moves against
Mexico is anticipated, but both house.
OF Congress are prepared to receive the
issue should It be thrust upon them In
the remaining days of the Taft admins
tration. or after the new Congress comes
into being March 4.
1t has been determined that there will
be no more general legislation OF an i'm
portant nature before adjournment The
remaining time will be devoted to APP
preparation bills and minor legislation. An
attempt In both houses, to repass the
"literacy test" immigration bill over
President Taft's veto will mark the OPEN
ing OF the week.
Senate republicans who mapped out a
Legislative program at caucus Satur-
day have little hope that any of the
bills recommended for passage Will go
through at this session, the railroad ply
steal valuation bill being the only one
endorsed by the caucus which Is believed
to have the slightest chance That meas
urc is Stlll before senate committee
where hearings are being held. Should it
pass the Senate it would be so altered
from the form Of the original bill that
a conference committee would be neces-
! sary to adjust the differences.
The House is expected to take no cog
nizance OF the program laid out by the

determined to concentrate their efforts

RULES CASTRO FIT
TO ENTER COUNTRY
Judge Decides Government s Evil
dence Not Sufficient to Bar
ex-President of Venezuela.

New York. Feb. l6.-Gen. Cipriano
Castro, the former Venezuelan dicta-
tor, is a free man. Circuit Court Ju lge
Ward. sitting in the United States dis
trict court. yesterday sustained the
writ OF habeas corpus applied for by
George Gordon Battle after the immi-
grafton authorities had excluded the
little general on the ground Of moral
turpitude
Thus, in spite OF the ruling OF the
special board OF inquiry, sustained by
the secretary OF commerce and labor,
Castro is to have free run of the Uni
ted States unless there is an appeal.
Sustaining the writ. JUICE Ward said
ALIENS have the right to enter the
United States except so far as the
right Is restricted by our statutes. .
The burden IL upon the immigration
authorities to show that any alien de-
MED the right to enter falls within one
OF the exceptions to the general priv
ilege. Although an alien who has not
yet entered may not enjoy the consti-
tutional guarantees of citizenship, he
has right under this law which must
be respected"
The court points out that General Cas-
tro's case falls within the class OF per-
sons convicted or who admit having
| been convicted OF felony or other crime
involving moral turpitude, and con-
tinues:
Congress has required in respect to thi.
particular class of aliens proof of a
specified kind and no other, namely. either
conviction in the country where the
crime was committed or an admission by
the alien.
| There is no pretense Of any convic-
ton and I think ordinary proof is not
sufficient. Testimony of unimpeached
eye witnesses that they had seen Genera
Castro kill General Paroles with his owr
hand In cold blood would not only be
insufficient but would be wholly IN
competent, Therefore. kilograms pass

board he had the right to insist that thu

DOESN'T FAVOR A
DETENTION FARM
Supt. Morgan Says There's Work
for Only a Small Force Out
doors Year Around.

Rutland, Feb. l6-Supt. D. H. Morgan
Of the house OF correction does not favor
the bill recently passed by the Vermont
Legislature to appropriate $4,000 for a
Stat. detention farm. whore men sen
fenced for minor offenses may be re-
formed and put at beneficial work under
the good environment Of outdoor air. The
superintendent thinks that It would be
impossible to give employment the year
round 10 the number of men who would
naturally be expected to be sent to the
farm. Mr. Morgan points out that. except
at the busiest times of the year. there is
work for a comparatively small force of
men. on even the largest farms It is
reasonable to believe that the State of
Vermont would soon have lo0 or more
laborer- to provide work for with all
minor offenders sent to the proposed de-
tention farm instead of to the various
county jails
Speaking of the matter, AR. Morgan
said: In 1911 the State of New Hamp-
shire sent a commission to Vermont Ia
investigate prison conditions. They had
been having a detention farm in every
county and were dissatisfied with the re-
suits Thi. commission favored a work
house with farm attached, which is
practically what we have In Rutland
There Is so much to be worked out that
| believe We should experiment a little
before going too deeply into the pro-
position. In my judgment, IT would be
we'll to hire several farms, say one ir
each county, for detention purposes. and
then see how the plan works out before
spending a lot OF money
Here at the house of correction We
have to use great care in the selection
of the men TO whom We shall give GER
tain liberties the TRUSTEES, and 1t IL
going TO be a big proposition to handle
100 or more men who have no more re-
straint than the ordinary wooden buidina
and a barbed wire fence gives I pity
the community where they are put tc
work"
