tions are that from 200 to $50 persons
will be arrested and charged with con-
tempt Of court as a result OF the riot
ing near st. Casimir's church Sunday,
when Sheriff Edward Swanson at
tempted to install the Rev. Stanislaus

will be made on the lives Of police in
the squad around the church Sunday.
That many persons were not killed

lice were diplomatic enough to with
hold display Of firearms. Two-thirds
of the mob were armed and no attempt
was made to conceal the weapons.

Clause in immigration Measure.

Clause in immigration Measure.
Washington. Feb 17.-President Will
son will veto the Burnett immigration
bill IL it comes to him for signature
with the so-called literacy test con-
tained in it. This became known from
an authoritative quarter last night
after Chairman Smith OF the senate
immigration committee had announced
that the bill would be favorab'y re-
ported virtually as it passed the house,
Including the literacy test. Prospects
are that the bill will pass the senate
as reported from the. cimmittee.
The president believes some other
means should be devised to prevent
undesirable aliens from entering the
United States and told callers today
that he had given his view to the
senate committee.
1t also became known tonight that
suggestions with reference to Chinese
and Japanese immigration made to the
house committee on immigration last
! Friday by Commissioner General Cam
inetti Of the immigration bureau are
not In accord with the views OF the
President and were expressed without
previous knowledge by the White
House. The Burnett bill contains no
Asiatic exclusion provisions.
Several members Of the committee
said there was a possibility Of modi-
flcation so as to permit the entrance OF
aliens who satisfy the proper authori-
ties that they emigrated from foreign
country "solely to escape religious per-
secution."
Definite news OF the presidents op-
position to the test came as surprise
to many who were led to believe he
favored It, because of the senate immi-
grafton committees announcement that
it would go ahead with the bill keep
ing the literacy test In Its place.
Thousands Of naturalized citizens all
over the country have been campaign
ing against the bill which caused Pres
ident Taft to veto the same bill.
President Wilson will give public
hearings at the White House before he
takes action.

JURY TAKES GORE CASE
Attorneys For Both Plaintiff and De.
fense Rest Case When Court Opens
Today-court instruets Jury to Find
For Defendant II Conspiracy Was
Shown to Exist.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Feb. 1.-THE
case Of Mrs. Minnie E. Bond, who is
asking $4,000 damages from Thomas
P. Gore, United States senator from
Oklahoma, for an alleged attack made
on her in a Washington hotel, was
given to the jury today.
Attorneys for both the PLAINTIFF and
the defense rested when court opened
today. Judge Clark then read his in
structions to the jury.
The court instructed the fury to
judge the evidence and the credibility
OF the witnesses. Judge Clark referred
to the alleged conspiracy against the
senator and the jury was told that II
there was conspiracy and 1t was
known to Mrs. Bond, then she was q
party to 1t and was not entitled to re-
cover damages.
AS to character, the instructions
said. the past character of Mrs. Bond
or Gore had no bearing on the case.
The court said II the jury believed al
assault was attempted, then the ver-
dict should be for the plaintiff. If they
found that no assault was attempted or
was party, existed. then the verdict
must be for the defendant the court
held.
Following Judge Clark's instructions
arguments were started and it was ex-
pected both sides would conclude late
this afternoon and the case would go
to the jury before night.
Decision of both sides to rest their
case eliminated the testimony of James
r. Jacobs, one Of the Oklahomians
who entered the room at the Washing
ton Hotel at the time the senator and
Mrs. Bond were there together and was
expected to be one of the plaintiff s
chief witnesses.
Scores of telegrams received by SEN
ator Gore today from friends expressed
sympathy and confidence in him. A
characteristic message was from L. NJ
Nichols, of Bristow. Okla, who said:
This is no time for a pillow fight,
turn on the hot stuff

evidence rejecting on the state troops

ing assaults alleged to have been COM
nitted by the militia.
