Opposed--No Roll Call.


Washington, Jan. 1.-THE compromise
Burnett Dillingham; immigration bill in
Guiding a literacy test for aliens, was
passed by the House. late today, after OPP
ponents of the measure had kept the
House in parliamentary turmoil for six
tours. The bill finally passed without a
roll call, although every stage of it's pro-
gress had been opposed.
The fight against the measure conferred
upon the provision that would exclude
subjects of countries issuing certificates
of character when the immigrants fail to
present such certificates. Representative
Lenroot, Wis. SABBATH, H.. and Moore.
Pa, contended that through this any
country might keep its citizens from en-
tering the United States by refusing
them certificates of character.
On final motion by Rep. Bartholdt
Mo-, to recommt the bill and have this
provision struck out by the conference
committee the opponents of the provision
lost, 20 to 100. Rep. SABBATH in discussing
the measure characterized it as the most

NEW YORK HARBOR
Piers Occupy Attention of Committee
OF the House.

Washington, Jan. 1I.--As a result
of the hearing of New York harbor
interests here, today, Sec. Stimson let
it be known that he was much OPP
posed to any extension of the piers
in the Hudson river on either side
that would further encroach upon
the channel and that the most he
would be willing TO allow would be
such a lengthening of the existing
piers or the construction of such new
piers as would not extend beyond a
straight line connecting the most
prominent points on shore.
Mayor Gaynor. who took an active
part in the hearing, while lending his
support to the recommendation of the
New York Harbor Board, which pro-
vides for a certain amount of pier ex-
tension, let it be known that he was
not in sympathy with the provisions
of the Sulzer bill, which contemplates
a wholesale and arbitrary extension of
pier lines from the Battery clear up
to 30th street.
Both harbor commissions, that from
New York and that from New Jersey.
told the secretary, that they desired
the right to advance their pier head
lines into the channel. The secre
tary in the course of an exchange
with Mayor Gaynor declared that no
such permission would be granted by
him unless upon very tangible and
satisfactory assurance that steps
would be taken at once to remove the
standing source of complaint by EN-
barking upon the construction of piers
in the upper river. where they would
not interfere with navigation.

an unsuccessful attempt Wednesday, to
hold up an uptown ticket office at the
point of a revolver, the local authori-

Monague was held for the grand jury
