HOUSE UPHOLDS
VETO BY TAFT
immigration Bill is Killed When
That Body Refuses to Pass ii
Over Veto of President

Washington, Feb. 20.-The nur-
nett Dillingham; immigration bill
was killed today in the House when
that body refused to passit over the
veto of President Taft.
The Senate had passed the meas
ure over the veto by a substantial
vote, and great pressure was brought
to bear upon members of the House
to concur in that action, the chief
advocates of the bill being represen-
tatives of labor unions.
The Burnett bill provides an edu-
cational test for all immigrants. II
was vetoed by the President on the
ground that it would exclude some
OF the best blood of Europe from the
United States. 1t was fought by
organizations OF foreign born citi-
zens. Congressman A. =. SABBATH
and Chief Justice Harry Olson of the
Municipal Court of Chicago present
ed the views of Chicago societies tc
Mr.. Taft in urging its veto.
LeaSArs of the House admitted
that the most serious feature Of to.
days vote was that the immigration
problem was put directly up t.
President-elect Wilson and the in
coming administration for solution
II had been hoped that the immigra-
tion problem would be settled before
Wilson took efiice, but 1t was ad
mltted after the vote this hope nov
has practically vanished.

Refusal to combine with tae Repnb-

In the opinion of those In ose
touch with the situations, F'unk's
chances for being selected as one of
the Senators are regarded as being
greatly reduced after today's hap
penings. 1t is believed that the Re

The Senatorial situation seems to
be no nearer solution than 1t has
been at any time. After a joint ses-

Wednesday morning in order that
Chicago members might take adj
vantage Of the primary to be held
in that city Saturday.
The long threatened storm in the

marked the debate and the outcome
was that the committees of the
