A GENERAL oUTBURsT OF DIsoR.
DER OCCURRED OVER THE
PASSAGE OF BILL.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. s.
With. provision barring i!literacy.
said 10 be the most drastic legisla-
ton Of It's kind for many years, the
Burnett immigration hill was before
the senate today, where the final
question on the litcracy test will be
threshed out. 1t passed the house
yesterday. Many expect the senate
TO pass the bill as it stands, but the
presidents attitude ig the subject Of
much speculation. Some Of :, those
who. claim to be informed say the
president is opposed to the literacy
test. Before Mr.. Wilson signs the
bill, however, nc will give public
hearings upon it as former Presidents
Taft and Cleveland did on similar
bills.
The Burnett immigration bill pre-
'cribing literacy test for applicants
for admission to the United States,
was passed by the house by vote OF
241 to 1875. All proposed amend
ments relating to the exclusion of
Asiatic immigrants previously had
tccn eliminated.
AS the bill passed II provides that
every immigrant admitted to the Uni
ted States must be able to read "thc
English language. or some other Ian
euage or dialect, including Hebrew
or Yiddish." so
1t prescribes the method of testing
immigrants. providing that each ap.
rlicant for admission must read a
slip on which is printed between 80
and 40 words.
In its present form this measure
nasscd the house andiths senate in
the, last congress but was vetoed by
president Taft. A similar bill was
vetoed during President Cleveland's
second administration. The sup
porters of the bill are confident that
It will again pass the senate. al
though President Wilson has let Il
be known that he does not approx,
I the literacy test.
