. ACTION MAY BE DELAYED
Indications That Immigration BILL VIII
BE Lnid Aside Until Next Congress.

Especial to The Times Dispatch.
Washington, February l0.-There
y ere Indications in the Senate to-day
that the Burnett immigration bill with
It's .iteracy test, aow before the Senate
committee. would be laid aside until
the next session of Congress.
II is understood that this movement
has the sympathy of President Wilson.
The arguments advanced are that while
the pending measure was held in abey-
ance. the President could proceed
through diplomatic channels with his
task of removing the grievances Of for
e!Sn. governments that are said to be
perplcXing enough, without the fur
ther complication of pending legisla-
tion 10 which other nations are filing
protests.
Italy already has protested against
certain provisions of the bill, and the
antagonistic attitude OF the Japanese
is well understood. The general sub
jcct of immigration and the restriction
of the rights of aliens within the United
States just now is potent with trouble,
from the viewpoint of some of the Sen
ute leaders.

The resolutions adopted by the Min

Whereas. it is advertised that there
will appear in a public exhibition this
week i'll Richmond q woman whose
connection with II shocking crime has
made her notorious; and.
Whereas. we believe she Is being
exploited not because OF her gifts or
attainments. but because OF ner con-
nection with the crime and her asso-
citation with the criminal; and,
Whereas. we believe that her pub
lie appearance in this city will tend to
eXalt vice and giorify crime, and Will,
therefore. be subversive OF the morals
OF the people, especially the young. and
consequently opposed to n sound public
policy; therefore,
Resolved. 1. That we, the Ministe-
rial Union OF Rich<tond and vicinity.
respectfully urge the Mayor of the

to forbid this notorious woman from
