OFFERS NEW PLAN "ss
TO CHECK INFLUX
OF UNDESIRABLES

Washington. Feb. s.--President VIII
son regards IT as universally agreed
that there should be some restrictions
TO prevent what Is known as assisted
immigration" He has not yet an
ncuncSd his position on the literacy
test feature OF pending immigration
bills and indicated today that he would
not do 80 until consulted by leaders In
congress. The Senate committee on
Immigration has announced that 1t will
seek h presidents advice in the mat
ter.
The president has been giving au-
dieDce or late to many interested In
that phase OF immigration legislation
n there Is said to be some ground
for the belief that he may suggest GER
tain notifications in the literacy test
rs now proposed.
The Burnett immigration bill, pre-
scribing literacy test, was brought for-
ward again today in the House.
A motion by Representative SABBATH
OF Illinois, to eliminate the proposed
test pending when the House adjourned
Saturday night was the immediate
business under consideration.
... .Gulick Suggests Plan.
The Rev. Sidney L. Gulick, lecturer
ut the Imperial University Of Japan,
discussed immigration today with the
president.
Under arrangements made by the
federal council of the churches Of
Christ in America which includes SO
protestant denomination, the Rev. Mr..
Gulick has been visiting leading cities
suggesting q new immigration policy.
He suggested to the president his plans
to treat all nations on q basis of equal
ity, ~'renouncing all invidious logisla-
ton n de%ferentlal treatment" by al
lowing only O maximum annual i'm
migration Of nationalities by O fixed
percentage Of those already here and
naturalized.
His suggestion is that by a rate of s
per cent n under, that 405, 900 Ger
mans could be admitted. although only
2,78S came in 1912; 1863, 500 English,
whereas only S2,979 came in 1912;
italian immigrants would be reduced
from 1914 who came in 1912 to q
possible maximum of 54,S50.
The same rate would admit only 220
Japanese and 73S Chinese immigrants.
h Rev. Mr.. GuliCk believes that by
making character and education the
qualifications for citizenship and by the
percentage rate, the interests of Amer
lea and Asia and of California and
Japan would be served IND h~armonized
with dignity.
"rs WILSON'S NIcW9s
Secretary Of Labor Wilson, informed.
congress today that he was not OPP
posed to the principle of the literacy
test. He recommend making the immi-
grafton bill more drastic In several par
ticulars. especially in regard to white
slavery and that skilled laborers i'm
ported under contract as well as un-
skilled laborers be barred.
Provisions to bar aliens who have
committed a crime or misdemeanor in
volvtng moral turpitude, whether con-
yicted or not, n to deport aliens COM
Knitting crimes in this country, also
was asked. or 1,017, 900 Immigrants
who came in during 1919, l per cent
was Asiatic, he reported, and added
that OF the total 26 per cent would be
barred by a ~literacy test.
House democrats will caucus tomor-
row night on the party policy toward

BUSINESS MEN ARE SLOW TO
ACCEPT WILSON'S INVITATION

Washington. Feb. 3.-President VIII
son expressed surprise today at the
lack OF responses from business men
to the invitation for suggestions on
pending trust legislation and that so
few have accepted the invitation to
appear at congressional hearings. The
president does not know whether the
business OF the country approve the
tentative measures as drawn or wheth-
er they have not taken notice of hear
lngs.
When II was suggested to the presJ-
dent today that business men might
fear being branded as lobbyists" II
they came to Washington in that con-
nection. MI. Wilson laughingly re-
marked that no one could be regarded
as O lobbyist who came by Invitation.

Storms, like pineapples. as a rule do
not originate in the United States
They come TO us. some from the
Philippines. Japan, Siberia. Alaska,
Canada. or the Gulf OF Mexico. The
Weather Bureau gets cable, tele-
graphic, or wireless notice of foreign
storm. Station after station, or vessel
after vessel reports the storms arrival
in its neighborhood so that the gen
eral direction and rate Of progress can
be determined very early. In fact,
the arrival OF some storms can be fore
told 10 days in advance

When weather disturbances are re

perience about how long IL takes them

how long after they Will reach the At

Unexpected conditions may delay

The Weather Bureau

Many people have an idea that there
Is something mysterious and occult
about the work of the Weather Bureau
in forecasting the coming of storms
frosts. and floods. Not few think
that the observers must necessarily
get their data by reading the planets,
the stars, and the moon. AS a matter
of fact, the forecaster Of the bureau
foretells the coming of disturbances
in a businesslike way. very similar
to that in which man who has
ordered shipment of goods would
estimate the date OF its arrival.
Suppose a business man had ordered
a carload of pineapples from the
Hawaiian Islands. He would know
the average time it would take the
steamer 10 make the trip TO the Pacific
port the average time for unloading
and loading into refrigerator cars and
the average number Of days to be al
lowed these cars for their trip across
the continent to New York. His esti
mate, however, would be subject TO
error because the steamship might bs
delayed by fog or the cars might meet

Two extraordinary political rumors

has any foundation. The first is that

seat in tire senate for that purpose.
The claim is that Sen Smith don I

The same bnsinesslike system used
in tracing the track of storm is ap-
piled in determining the arrival of
frcsts.
Flood forecasts are made in much
the same way. Information as to the
amount OF rainfall at the head waters
OF streams that cause floods are covered
by Geographic reports sent by local OBJ
servers. AS this rain reaches the main
channel, the height of the water in
the channel is determined by success
sive gauging stations. Past records
establish how much height, say, of
20 feet at Dubuque, Iowa, will pro.
duce at Davenport, another station so
miles down the Mississippi. This plan
is followed all the way down the river
and at each point tull allowance is
made for the effects Of wear from tri.
butafies, and from additional and To-
cal rainfall. AS result of these OBJ
servations in the recent food the people
of Cairo had warning week or ten

Europe to furnish the department of
labor with reports on the plans being
made by transportation agencies to

volume has several innovations which
make 1t very much more valuable to
the reader. The most important Is
unquestionably the Geographical In.
dex, which gives at glance the names
of all mining companies operating in
or near any town in America, or in

Mr.. Weed has also separated all

The greater part of the book. as in
former annual editions, is devoted to
descriptions of the copper mines of
