Metz Raps Southerners
in immigration Speech

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Repre-
sentative Herman A. Metz, in a
speech opposing the literacy test as
provided in the immigration bill
which passed the House yesterday,
severely criticised the members of
Congress from the South for favor
ing such legislation and declared
such opposition was surprise to
him because the literacy section OF
the bill will keep out of this country
O. lot of laborers the South needs.
II am interested In the South, and I
think that if any section of this
country needs labor it is the South"
said Mr.. Metz. 81 mean by that the
kind of labor that uses brains, the
kind of labor that of necessity needs
to read or write, but has Some COM
mon sense, such as we have in the
East, and particularly in New York.
We are not afraid there of the man
who cannot read and write We are
afraid of the man who is possessed
not only of the ability to read and
write, but who is possessed also of
things we do not want here. He is
the man we are afraid Of
I'VE had one school on the Island
of Manhattan, in the old city of
New York, where the children spoke
twenty-nine different languages, and
the only foreign tongue spoken in
that school was English. That is a
| fact. Where would those children
have been if their parents could not
have come in simply because they
could not read or write? Now, what
will become of them if we let them
get away from us and become social
| lists and anarchists, and all that? II
they do it, 1t is our own fault. Let

City Employee Fined $40 for
Keeping Chicken in City

Claxton j. Elsum, clerk in the city
clerks Office residing at 95 Mt. Pleas
ant avenue, was adjudged guilty of
violating a health ordinance for keep
ing chickens on his property without
a license He was fined S. and costs
by Judge Hahn in the First Criminal
Court today.
Neighbors of Elsum protested to
the health department that he main
tanned a poultry farm on his prem
ises and that their early morning
SAUNDERS were disturbed and that
their health was impaired by the
same.
Mr.. Elsum retorted with a state
ment that he had license, issued by
the health department. Finally, after
muoh discussion, the license was re-
voked and Health officer David d.
Chandler made a complaint when the
farm was continued.
Briefs for the city and for the de-
PENDANT were submitted to Judge
Hahn some time ago, and he rendered
his decision today, finding the de-
PENDANT guilty, but adding that in
view of the circumstances he would
impose the minimum fine.

NEW YORK 1918
AUTO TAG GOOD
Motorists Unable to Get New
licenses-PoIice Not to
Make Arrests.

Chief of Police Long today instruct
ed the police not to arrest owners of
automobiles for driving in this State
with licenses issued in New York
last year. Motorists who operate
their cars both in New York and
New Jersey need take out licenses
only in one State, but must obtain
new licenses the first of each year.
The authorities, however, have per-
mitted owners to run their cars un-
der licenses of the year before until
February ! in order to give them time
to obtain their licenses.
This year, however, the manufac-
turers of the license tags in New
York State have been unable to pro-
duce the plates fast enough to keep
up with the demand. The result is
that many New York motorists are
running now under last years H.
censes, although they have applied
for their new licenses. Many have
been arrested in New Jersey and the
question of escaping fines has rested
entirely with the magistrates before
whom they have been brought.
job Lippincott, State commissioner
of motor vehicles, was informed of
the state of affairs in New York, and
today requested Chief Long and the
other police chiefs of the State not to
make arrests Of New York motorists
for neglecting to obtain their license
until further notice.

Sec. Bryan Asks for No
Action on Asiatic Clause

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Secretary
Bryan urged the House immigration
committee today to take no action
on the Baker bill for exclusion of
Asiatic immigrants. Diplomatic ne
gotiations between the United States
and Japan over the California anti
alien land laws and the whole ques-
ton of the Asiatic exclusion was dis
cussed at lenngth behind closed doors.
The secretary bound Republicans
and Democrats alike to secrecy, and
told them the administration needed
to be free from legislative embar-
easements in dealing with the situa-
ton automatically.
Secretary Bryan told the committee
that unless some untoward circum-
stances arose he hoped for an
amicable adjustment of the Japanese
question. An agitation in Congress
at this time, he declared, would be
most unfortunate.
Representatives Raker and Hays,
of California, were the only members
of the committee inclined to oppose
the wish of the secretary that action
in the matter be indefinitely post
poned. Others readily agreed thai
nothing should be done which would
in any way embarrass the admins
tratton.
