SUNDAY CONCERT TO
BE GIVEN REGULARLY
BALANCE OF SPRING

The free Sunday concerts at the Au-
ditorium- Armory have again hit their
regular stride. Tnterfered with during
the middle of the winter by occasional
entertainments and exhibitions which
necessitated a change in the Auditorium
arena, they have now been resumed for
several Sundays past with fair regularity,
and will be continued without much in
reference straight through the spring
months.
The concert Sunday afternoon will be-
gin at $3.50, as usual. Because of the
fact that thousands OF people attend these
concerts each Sunday the doors will be
thrown open at 2:30, and all persons who
attend are earnestly requested to be in
their seats before the first number COM
mences.
One OF the principal features on the
program Sunday afternoon will be the
grand march from TTannhauser." Flo
lows famous overture to Martha" and
the gavotte from 'sMignon,'' by Ambrose
Thomas, will also be popular.

IMMIGRANT BILL
VETOED BY TAF I.
IIliteFaCy Test Based on a Fall
lacy, Says President in
Brief Message.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.-President
Taft has vetoed the Dillingham; Bur
nett Immigration bill, which would
revoIutionize the immigration policy OF
tho United States by imposing a lit
eracy test upon all foreigners seeking
a home in America.
In a short message to the senate. IN
his own handwriting, the president an
nounced his disapproval of the measure
solely because of the provision which
would lock the doors of the United
States against the alien who could not
read some language or dialect.
The veto message was accompanied
by a letter to the president from Secre-
tary Nagel denouncing the literacy test
as a radical provision, based upon q
fallacy in undertaking to apply a test
which is not calculated to reach the
truth and to find relief from a danger
which really does not exist
The president adopted the secretary s
position Senate and house floor lead
ers lost no time in arranging for an
effort to override the veto. AS soon as
the message was read, Senator's Dill
lingham and Simmons and Representa-
tive Burnett, leading the congressional
supporters OF the measure, made ar
rsngements to take it UP in the senate
on Monday and IN the house on Tues
day. With Senator Lodge they were
confident that the bill would be passed
easily in both houses by the necessary
two thirds vote

Bitter protests have been caused by

answer required to be sworn to at the
city tax office:

ance? And in what company and what
is its cash value"
Insurance men declare obey will pc
tition council to strike this question as
unjust They say mans insurance
does not belong to him but to his wife
and children, and to tax it like any
other property is absolutely immoral
Here are. some other new questions
that are NOT listened to with pleasure
by the poor taxpayers;
Have you any oriental rugs on car
pets?
Have YOU any antique furniture
one man answered today that he had
some. antique rugs.

Madero Advises
Ambassador to Move.

AT noon yesterday the minister of
foreign affairs advised Ambassador
Wilson. in the name of President Ma
dero, to remove his residence to the sub
urb of Cacabaya. beyond the line of
fire. Mr.. Wilson declined to act on
this suggestion. pointing out that
Americans already had been quartered
with the distinct understanding that
the ground occupied by them would be
recognized as neutral zone.
Both revolutionists and federals thus
far have hesitated to fire upon the
American quarter.
Investigation into the killing Of the
president OF the Mexican Red Cross, who
was shot While at work in the plaza
near the national palace has failed TO
show whether federals or rebel soldiers
are responsible.

sador Wilson.

that zoo federal troops returned yester-
