persons had been driven from their
homes in Cincinnati and the cities of
Covington, Newport and Dayton, across
the river in Kentucky. Many factories
have been flooded, and hundreds of per-
sons thrown out of work.
The authorities in the four cities are
doing all in their power for the food
sufferers. In Cincinnati DIR. Otto p.

AGREE ON
IMMIGRATION
Action by House and Senate
Conferees Reinstates
Measure
READING TEST FOR
ALIENS ADOPTED
Head Tax Is Increased from
Four to Five
Dollars

Washington, Jan. l4.--Agreement
upon the immigration bill has been
reached by the Senate and House con-
ferees, resulting in the reinstatement OF
the bill, of the Senate recodilication OF
the immigration laws and Of the ac-
ceptance by the Senate of the House
reading test for aliens instead of the
Senate requirement that all alien i'm,
migrants sixteen or more years old
must be able to read and write in Eng
lish or their own language or dialect.
The most important change made by
the conferees in the Senate bill is the
increase Of the head tax from four doll
lars to five dollars. This action was
taken to offset the revenue loss incl
dent to the exclusion of the illiterates.
While the Senate bill which is now to
become law represented chiefly codi'
fication of scattered and involved inn
migration laws it contained also some
new and important legislation. 1t an
thorizes the secretary of commerce and
labor to appoint matrons to serve upon
incoming or outgoing steamers to pre-
vent immortality in the storage and the
abuse Of women by ships officers or
Others. 1t authorizes tine secretary, in
his discretion, to admit stowaways. IL
provides that surgeons of the public
health service may be assigned to duty
on steamships carrying immigrants, al
though with no such powers as are vest
ed in surgeons of the Italian and some
1ther nations. A new provision will
make it possible to obtain more service
able statistics from ships manifest.
Under another, an alien may be de-
ported within three years if convicted
of crime involving moral turpitude
and carrying q sentence of imprison-
ment of one year, unless the trial judge
recommends that the offender be nor
leported. An alien prostitute may be
1eported any time, regardless of how
long she may slave, lived in this coun
try.
The Chinese exclusion features of the
proposed law have been omitted by the
conferees, thus leaving the admission
of persons of that race subject to in
dependent existing laws.
Sections 30 to 81, inclusive, of the |
bill are wholly new. They are intend
cd chiefly to provide against abuse Of
the immigration law by alien seamen |
or persons who have signed a ships.
articles for the purpose of evading the
law.
In 1911 the number of taxable alien |
reaching this country was
9l3.sS0, the head tax upon the same
yielding S3,655,5l3. How substantially |
the exclusion of illiterates required by /
the proposed law will operate may be
inferred from the fact that in ten years
more than thirty-six per cent. of all /
alien immigrants fourteen years old or
over could neither read nor write. The
new law will raise the age limit to
sixteen years. 1t contains several i'm
portant provisions intended to avoid an
inhumane and unreasonable separation
