HOUSE UPHOLDS
IMMIGRANT VETO

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Amid
scenes of the most tense excitement,
the house today, by vote of 213 to
ia. declined to override the presidents
veto on the Burnett immigration bill.
A two thirds vote was required to pass
the bill over the presidents veto.
One of the last to vote in opposition
to the motion to reconsider was Repre-
sentative Curry, of New Mexico. Cur
ry entered the hall after two roll calls
had been made and, despite protests
against his vote, was allowed to regis
ter one more against the bill.
Immediately following the announce
ment of the vote, Representative Gard
ner, of Massachusetts, made motion
to reconsider the vote. A point of or
der was made against this motion and
Speaker Clark ruled that it was not in
order to reconsider the vote in such a
case. He said there was only one pre-
cedent in the house since its establish
ment, and in that case. which occurred
in 1874, the chair ruled that the mo-
ton was out of order.
This motion is out of order and if
the chair had never heard of this pre-
vious decision" said Clark, the chair
would have ruled just the same"
Gardner then appealed from the de-
cison of the speaker. Majority Leader
Underwood moved that the appeal be
tabled, and on a viva voce vote there
was a loud chorus of "ayes" in support
of the speakers decision.
Leaders of the house admitted that
the most serious feature of todays vote
was that the immigration problem was
put directly up to President ELECT Will
son and the incoming administration
for solution.

DICTOGRAPH STORY
PRODUCES PANIC IN
w. VA. LEGISLATURE

CHARLESTOWN. w. VA, Feb. 10
There is much excitement among mem
bers of the legislature today, caused by
the report that 100 more photographs
have arrived from New York and have
been installed, and that more Burns
operatives have reached the city to fer
ret out bribery in connection with the
effort to elect United States senator
This is the last week of the legislature
and it is conceded there is no hope of
breaking the deadlock on election of
United States senator. 1t is likely a
state wide primary will be called.

SALES Of GOWNS
EXPOSE THIEVES

The sale by two negroes of women's
valuable gowns to negro women for a
mere song resulted today in the un-
earthing of what detectives believe to
be an organized gang of negro thieves,
responsible for numerous recent rob
berries of downtown stores.
Two of the gang, Deman Harwell and
VIII Thomas are behind the bars, while
detectives are searching for others of
their pals.
Stylish garments to the amount o.
$3.50 have been recovered from negro
women, who were wearing them to the
envy of all of their neighbors
