Hearings Are Blocked.

The House Immi grafton commit
tee held the stage today in the inn
migration controversy, where the at
titude of the State Department
blocked the plan to hold hearings
on the Raker amendment providing
for japanese exclusion.
Although a score of men interest
cd in The amendment were waiting
to testify when the committee con-
yened, an executive session was i'm
mediately ordered and. after
stormy session of more than an hour
the hearings we're postponed for a
week The first motion was to con-
tinle them indefinitely, but pro-
test from Congressman Raker led to
the weeks delay.
The direct cause Of the commit
tees panic was letter from the
state Department setting out the
treaties that would be violated bv

1t was pointed out that the amend

Secretary of State Woods Has More
and Better at Disposal Than
Governor Dunno.
Tells THE BULLETIN OF
CANDIDACY U. S. SENATOR
Wfl Ri9idly Enforce Auto Laws by
Sending Officer Here-No Use
for Civil Service.

Harry Woods, Secretary of tht
State 9f Illinois, was a Cairo visitor
yesterday from noon until 2:45
whsn he departed for Springfield.
Secretary Woods had been to Nc
uo9c'is where he made an inspec-
tion IF the state park, known as
Fort Massac.
During his stay in the city he
Ipaid The Bulletin a visit where he
sail .hat publication in regard to
the state laws in governing automo-
biltg would, perhaps, prevent prose
cut1n5 for violators.
lie directed attention to the fact
that many owners of Cairo machines
were running their autos without the
1914 licenses which are of a white
background with green numbers. He
saw many machines which did not
have airy license numbers displayed
and mary with old 1913 licenses.
lie sail that upon his return
home q state officer would be dis
patched to Cairo to force a rigid
compliance with the laws, not neces-
.sarily 10 warn auto owners, out to
prosecute in tho courts for a disre-
gard Of the law, every auto owner
knowing just what he is required to
dc.
Mir. Woods has been persistent and
no rcepcctor of persons as it has
been mt very short time since he
had Mayor Carter Harrison of Chi
.cago, hailed into court because he
did no- have his license, or his no.
tice that an application had been
made for a license, displayed upon
his machine, although Mayor Harri-
son had a receipt for the money sent
to Springfield for it.
AS result of Mr.. Woods strict
enforcement of the law he showed
the following figures:
Licenses issued 1913 .....6S,0 or
Licenses issued 1911 94,G5G
Chauffeur license 1913 .... 1850
Chauffeur licenses 1914 3,200
The remarkable increase in the
rumher Of licenses issued for auto
mobiles and chauffcurs for 1914 over
1913 IS not to be considered as show
ing an increase in the purchase of
new machines as It IS too early to
make such a vast difference, which
would hardly be made in any event
in less than one month Of the pres
ent yea" already departed. Hence
the increase in licenses must be as
crihed to his diligence in enforcinE
the law, and negligence on the part
of his predecessor in office in per-
hitting the delinquencics.
Secretary Woods announced while
in The Bulletin office, his candi.
tlH ioi AHitth NlfttS CtHdl OF 10
succeed Lawrence Y. Sherman whose
short term will soon expire. Woods
candidacy makes the ninth now in
tho field.
A strange fact has been overlook
ed by the Democratic pie hunters"
of Cairo. Secretary Woods has more
and better patronage at his diaposa!
than Governor Dune, and these Of
fees are ALL NOT FILLED.
Secretary Woods stated that he is
opposed to civil service and if he
had his own way in the matter, civil
service would be given the count
and hurled into the Stag pile.
One sterling Cairo Democrat will
be taken care of by Secretary Woods
in an appointment which he will
soon make.
