IMMIGRATION BILL EAILS,
ADVOCATES UNABLE TO MUSTER
QUITE TWO-THIRDS.
BY Vote Of 213 to ia, House De-
clines to Override Wishes of Exccu-
tive.

Washington, Feb. 19.-The house
today refused, by vote Of 213 to ia,
to pass the Dillingham; Burnett immi-
grafton bill over the presidents veto.
Five votes changed from the negative
to the affirmative would have been
given the two-thirds necessary to ov-
er-ride the veto.
Before the result was announced,
Representative Gardner Of Massachu-
setts, one Of the leading advocates of
the bill, changed his vote to may"
and after the announcement moved
to reconsider the vote. Speaker
Clark overruled the motion, going
back to the time of Speaker Jones of
Virginia GS44) for the only recorded
precedent on the subject
Representative Gardner appealed
from the decision Of the chair, but a
motion by Mr.. Underwood, Democratic
leader, to lay the motion on the table
blocked the attempt to continue the
contest.
The fight centered on the literac,
test feature Of the bills.
President Taft's veto Of the bill
went TO the house today with the bill,
repassed over the veto by the senate
yesterday.
Democratic leaders who conducted
the original fight in the house over
the measure predicted they could
muster the necessary two-thirds vote
to repass it today, although the look
ed for vigorous opposition from a
minority of Democrats and Republi-
cans.
Opposition to the measure was re-
newed as soon rs Representative Bur
nett Of Alabama, chairman of the i'm
migation committee, moved that the
bill be reconsidered and passed over
| the presidents veto.
Representative Goldfogle of New
York and Curley of Massachusetts, de-
layed action for about two hours by
demanding the reading of the bill
| covering &c printed pages, the presi-
dents message and the message from

TO REBATE TIPS.
New York Hotel Has Scheme To

New York, Feb. IA plan by
which it hopes to solve the tipping
problem was announced by one of the
larger hotels today.
Assuming that majority of it's
guests would resent Il request not to
give tips to walters and recognizing
the impOssibility of enforcing an or
der that the walters should not accept
gratuities, the management hit upon
the plan of making a reduction Of 10
per cent on all checks over so cents
"a reduction equivalent to the aver
age tip-thereby relieving the guests
of the necessity Of paying for service
twice.
A line printed at the top Of the
menu cards announced that the re-
duction would be made, and while
nothing was added about tipping,
most guests, it was said, recognized
that the reduction was being made in
an effort to solve the problem.
