LITERACY TEST
BELIEVED TO BE
ADEAD ISSUE
5a 5s a3rtfz.
Passage Over Veto of Presi-
dent Is Not Believed To-
Be Likely Action
Ry C. S. ALBERT.

WASHINGTON ID. c., March go
The application of the literacy test to
immigrants may be regarded as dead
proposition unless both branches of
Congress pass the pending bill over
the veto of President Wilson. There
ere sufficient votes to make that
course possible, but party expediency
probably will prevent such drastic ac-
ton. L..
The president sought to be extreme
ly gentle in handling the literaey test.
he implored members of the senate
committee on immigration. to modify
the literacy test, or eliminate it, but
with no degree of success. The meas
ure was reported to the senate with
the provision exactly as passed by the
house. --z
Finding pleading and persuasion of
no avail the president sent Secretary
Wilson as special emissary to Sena-
tor Smith of South Carolina. chairman
Of the immigration committee The
secretary made it perfectly plain to
the senator that President Wilson
would veto the immigration bill, when
presented to him, If it contained the
literacy test along the present lines.
The matter was discussed at length.
No possibility of doubt was left in the
mind of Mr.. Smith as to what course
would be followed by the president
when the Objectionable measure came
before him for approval
AS the situation stands it seems GER
tain the president will have to exer-
else his veto power on the immigra-
ton bill. There is no doubt what
ever but that the senate will concur
in the house literacy test provision
and leave it in the bill when passed
and sent to the president There is
no chance of it's rejection or modifica-
tion by the. senate unless the president
can exert sufficient influence to ac-
complish that unexpected result. A
large proportion of senators predict
the retention of the obnoxious clause.
Senator O'Gorman is almost alone in
declaring that the paragraph will be
eliminated when action is taken in the
senate.
There is much speculation as to
whether the immigration bill will be
passed over the presidents veto. 1t is
accepted as certain that the requisite
twC-thirds vote exists in the senate
and house. If the presidents disap-
proval is not nullif1ed it will be be-

Attorney Claudius III. Mcbride
sought to inject sensational charges
against u. s. District Attorney jeff
McCarn In the course of civil suit
before Jury In Circuit Judge W. l.
Whitney's court this morning. In his
opening statement to the jury Attof'
ney Mcbride endeavered to narrate
the federal attorneys indirect counec'
ton with the case, but was checked
and forbidden by the court to do SO
because, it was held, the federal of
ficiaPs alleged action had nothing to
do with the suit in progress.
+. The trial which began in Judge
'Whitney's court is $4,000 seduction
suit, brought over from Hilo. in which
Florinda Freitas, Portuguese girl
said to be Is years old, and her moth
er, Maria Freitas, are the plaintiffs
and Freeman Sylvester and his wife,
Rose Sylvester, are the defendants.
Attorney C. w. Ashford represents the
plaintiffs and Mcbride and Judge Alex.
sander Lindsay are appearing for the
defendants. From the nature Of the
charges most of the details Of the tes-
timony are unprintable.
Sylvester, accused Of running the
young girl, pleaded guilty in the cir
cult court at Hilo some time ago to
statutory charge and served month
in. Jail. His wife is held in the civil
suit, as an accomplice. At the time
of the crime she was not married to

proyement of three small streets in the
valley beginning with Puiwa; this dis.

night, for four months. We have
been going along quietly, getting eV-

district was made we would be in a
position to advance the work with
speed. Manoa residents wish such a
district Almost all the residents
there own the property on which they
live and can afford to have the streets
improved. That is why believe this
resolution will be of such importance.
All they have to do now is to tell US
what street to pave, and we can go
right after it. or course, first the
drainage systems should be laid, so

The officer told the man to mind
his own business, 1t is said. They
conversed for few minutes and then
the negro said, Lets see who can
shoot the best; you or T." He drew
something from his pocket and, al
though twas quite dark, there was a
CLINT of steel. Miss Farley said to
the police officer, Look out, he's GO
ing to shoot" and the officer replied,
T guess he is"
Then a deluge of rocks whizzed by
the party. The two Russians who
had been showing the party where
some of the people lived, ran in front
and held their hands in the air, say
ing that theT would keep off the
stones. Miss Farley says that she
then told the officer that he would
have to take her out of the place.
They started out and, as they neared
the end of the camp, other rocks were
thrown at them, which struck against
a fence which they were passing. The
officer hailed an automobile which
was standing rear the end of the
camp, and they got into this and
went away.
The police believe that now they
have the negro located. In spite of
the incident, Miss Farley is continu-
ing her investigation, but now with
more ample protection. \
