IMMIGRATION MAY
CAUSE DEADLOCK
Democratic Split Threat
ems Appropriations and
Presidents Programme.

Washington. Dec. 22.-The fight for
the immigration bill now before the
Senate will be carried 20 hnish, ana
uuIess the bill either be rejected py
the Senate or placed in th hands o.
the President. no appropriation blll5
will he allowed 10 pass a. this session.
An emphatic statement to thus euecee
was made to-day by Senator Smith, OIL
South Carolina. chairman OF the I'M
rnigratiou Committee. As result the
Democratic split over the bill not alone
threatens the Presidents legislative
programme but the appropriation meas
ures as well Should the Senate INSIST
upou sidetracking the immigration
measure and Senator Smith carries out
his threat. the President VIII nave no
other recourse than to call Congress IN
special session.
Democratic leaders Z the Senate Dc
not hide the fact that the reason for
onposiup action on the immigration
nm is 10 prevent il from being put
nm TO the President. Following Sena-
tor Lcwis's visit to the White House
and the publication of the statement
tbst the President will veto the bill
if the lteracy test is not stricken from
il cotcrie Of Democrats have COM
bined forces to prevent vote on the
measure and will fiibuster, for a time
at least, until they have measured
their strength.
senator Lewis intimated to-day that
il was the purpose of these Democrats
to hold up the bill. Back Of their plan,
of course. Is the hope that their col
leagues. desiring TO take up the ship
purchase bill and other measures m
Guided in the Presidents programme,
will abandon the attempt to pass the
immigration bill Senator Smith de-
clared to-day that there vas sufficient
strength behind the bill 70 block even
tho appropriation bills until a vote had
been taken on II.
II was apparent that the statement
that the President disapproved the
litcracy tcst had little effect On many
Of tho Senators. who seemed TO be
determined TO pass the bill whether
it would embarrass the President or
not I'm fact. there was talk to-day
that should he veto the bill an attempt
would be made to pass it over his veto.

PRESIDENT MILDER
IN NPATRONAGE ROW
Senate, However, Defiant as
Ever-Way Out of Difficulty
Not Yet Apparent.


Washington, Dec. -. President VIII
sen displayed to-day more cOncilia-
tory attitude toward the patronage up
rising in the Senate and made light Of
the affair by admitting the Senate's
right in the matter and declaring that
the administration and the Democratic
Congress are engaged in more impor-
tant work. This statement Of the
Presidents position, however, did not
result in any change in the situation.
The President has not yet determined
what he will do, whether he will yield
bv giving car to the recommendation
Of the insurgents, on find some other
way out of the difficult. The I'M
portance of the differences between
himself and the Senate had been, he
said, exaggerated.
The Senate stood it's ground none
the less defantiy to-day IN spite OF
the word that came from the White
House. The Postofiice Committee made
ar adverse report upon the appoint
ment of Marjorie Bloom to be post
master At Devils Lake, ). d. No at
tempt was made to hasten action on
the report, which, under the rule, went
over until tomorrow, and may not De
taken up until after the holidays
Senator MARITIME, who Is next in line
to force the patronage issue with the
White House over the appointment OF
George f. Hampton to be Collector for
the Southern District Of New Jersey,
showed 10 signs of yielding to-day.
He declared that he was not fighting
the President, but that he was merely
insisting on his own prerogatlves, en-
croachment upon which he could not
hermit without protest. Senator Reed
took the same attitude, and it IS obvl-
Gus that their colleagues on the ma
iority side are ready to support them
50 long as the issue remains as 1T IS.
How peace is to be declared between
the executive and legislative branches
of the government without the capltu-
lation of the White House 20 the de-
mands Of the Senate is the problem
which puzzles TIE legislators. The
only solution offered, from the Senate
noint of view. is for the President TO
admit his error and find Candidates
for the disputed offices who will be
acceptable to the Insurgents. The
abandonment of the appolntees who
have been the centre Of the storm
would be interpreted as q rebuke to
SECRETARY 'McAdoo. the Postmaster
General and other Democratic leaders,
or aspiring leaders, who were respon-
e;ble for their selection, and the scene
Of dificultv. would merely shift from
the Senate 10 the Cabinet.

HABEAS CORPUS TO
BE CHIEF WEAPON
Thaw's Counsel Again to Put
Case Through State and
Federal Courts.

From the time the mandate Of the
United States Supreme Court ordering
New Hampshire TO send Harry X.
Tbav back to New York is issued.
Tbaw's life will be just one writ of
habeas corpus after another. much as
IL has been in the past, according 10
tho predictions Of his legal friends
yesterday. His legal foes also see
rrospects Of future possibilities IN the
The big point his friends bank on in
tho decision is that the Supreme Court
has no power TO enforce its mandate
so far as the physical transfer OF
Thaw from New Hampshire goes; the
courts decision is only an expression
of opinion as to what ought to be done.
William Travers Jerome, Thaw's arch
legal enemy, agreed yesterday that the
court has no power 70 mandamus the
state OF New Hampshire to comply
with this opinion.
Franklin Kennedy accepted this
opinion in a measure, but he was en-
phatic I'm saying that he did not C.
lieve Thaw's attorneys could employ
the writ Of habeas corpus ad lib. 10
keep him out of the grasp OF New York
state.
"Thaw will be back here inside Of
two months" he said The Supreme
Court OF the United States has the
power 20 enforce its decree 10 the ex-
tent that Holman Drew. Sheriff OF
Coos County, y. H.. who is now Thaw's
custodian under orders of the court,
will have 20 deliver Thaw to the GUS
tody Of the agent Of New York, who
will be Sheriff Hornbeck of Dutchess
County.
AT the moment that transfer OF Gus
tody is completed. of course the hands
OF the United States court are entirely
taken Off. and there is no way for it
to compel the putting back of Thaw
into New York State. or course, r
writ of habeas corpus will then lie

BULLETIN NO. g.
Battles in Tenement Homes
WHEN THE FATHER DESERTS.

Of all needy families, none presents more
difficulties than those in which the father has
deserted.
The histories of these oftentimes are stories
of the husbands ntemperance, brutality, immo
rality neglect and cruelty.
Occasionally the woman's ignorance OF
homemaking starts the man on a career OF neg
lect Of home.
Cumulative irritation from single acts OF
selfishness and bad temper sometimes piles up
bad feeling.
Home lessons by a teacher Of cooking and
housekeeping, few calls at the home by tact
full, discerning visitor. may result in ironing out
these lesser difficulties.
But the more serious cases Of criminal de-
sertion must be taken to court.
This acts as a deterrent tor others as well
as brings the offenders to justice
During the last four months nine persistent
deserters have been sent to prison and six have
been returned to their families and are support
ing them.
Twenty-Five others who have in the past
failed to support their wives and children
now, through the efforts of the association, max
ing regular payments
The effective handling of these cases re-
quires a special knowledge of law and expert
ence in court procedure.
Two visitors especially qualified for such
work, have charge of such families which come
to us.
In some instances where all trace of the
man is lostfor long time, it becomes necessary
for us to care for the family as we would if we
knew the man were dead.
The father of the NJ family periodic
deserter at first, had not been heard from for
several years.
Five children, four boys and GIRL were in
an institution when our assistance was sought.
The mother lived with her baby in small
furnished room and paid for its care out of the So
week she earned as saleswoman
She herself was broken in health and spirit
by stress and strain, and fast failing eyesight
threatened to incapacitate her.
What Of the mother and children to-day
She has been taken from her work, the hve
children returned from the institution, and a
definite weekly allowance sufficient for the main
tenance of all has been granted by the Asso-
citation.
During the past year we were asked to help
3l5 families made needy by the deSertlon OF the
husband.
The amount spent for relief in these fam
lilies was S6,656.63
A fund is now needed to keep homes to-
gether until deserting husbands can be brought
back and regular support secured from them,
and to pension families of incorrigible deserters
who must be sent to prison.
Will you help them through us?

PROGRESSING

Grand total against the rc5olutoa-l''
The debate. which became acrimoni-
Gus at times, eliminated IN charge by
Representative Hobson that the liquor
trust had aided the election OF Nr.
Underwood as Senator from Alabama
last summer. Hobson resented Repre-
sentative Henin's reference TO him as a
defeated candidate and replied:
"My opponent did not night alone.
Whether he knows lt or not the ma
tional liquor trust OF America opened
four different headquarters i'm Alabama

great campaign against me, with their

WAS sent there to help defeat me. They
pulled the financial strings, and all par
ties organized against me. Instead OF
being neutral the Governor OF Alabama
and the President and his admimstra-
tion also fought me-
Walls Plastcred with Petitions.
When the House convened at the un-
usually early hour Of 10 o'clock, IT
found that Representative Hobson had
stretched behind the Speakers roStrum
and entirely along the south wall of the
chamber prohibiti,r. petitions pasted
end to end on brown wrapping paper.
Mr. HObSOn said they were an abbrevl-
alton in typewrtten fo~m Of the me
MORALS received from more than 10000
churches, temperance societies and
other organizations favoring his rcsolu-

string along for a mile or more. These

/ Mr.. Hobson also had placed in the
"well" of the Housc-the big space in

lettered placards pointing out the al

these placards, below the warning in
