immigration
To Be Reduced
By Dillingham;
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, June Senator Dill
lingham will introduce a bill tomorrow
embodying an attempt to eliminate
immigration from southern European
and Asiastic countries without the use
of the teracy test" which caused
Preside Taft to veto the immigra-
ton bill of the last session.
In the new bill restriction will be
placed upon the number of immigrants
from any country at ten percent from
the number of similar nationalities in
the United States at the time of the
last census. 1t is believed that will
limit the influx from south Europe and
allow an increase from Great Britain,
Sweden and Germany. The present
law has little effect in reducing the
great influx of aliens, according to the
statement of the office of the commits
sioner general of immigration tonight.
Only one-fourth per cent was exclud-
ed for all causes the last fiscal year
of more than million who applied for
admission.
