Threatened Veto of
The ImmigrationBi
AmaZeS Members
OF the Committee.
Planned to Retain Liieracy Test
As Passed by House.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Information
that President Wilson would veto the
immigration bill if it is sent to him,
provision amazed members of the
Senate immigration committee Many
of them confessed tonight that they
were bewildered, inasmuch as they had
determined to retain the literacy test in
this draft of the immigration measure,
as it passed the House, under the i'm
preston that the President would ac-
cept the bill If 1t passed the Senate.
An interesting session of the commit
tee ic looked for tomorrow.
Two weeks ago the committee di-
rected Senator Smith of South Caro-
lima, the chairman, to consult with
President Wilson on immigration leg
islation. 1t was said today that the
members especially desired to learn
whether the veto power might be di-
reoted at the literacy provision of the
Burnett bill Some of the senator's
were inclined to the belief that 1t
would be a waste of time to take up
consideration of immigration reform
at all If all the restrictive acts should
fail
Senator Smith reported that, while
the President did not look upon the
litcracy test with favor, he would
sign the bill if it passed the Sneate.
Upon that basis the committee went
to work. Now the members are In
clined to stand by their guns, despite
the Presidents attitude certain that
the measure can pass the Senate and
not at all sure that it might not re-
PASS beth houses by a twothirds vote
over the head of the President.

given her all the money he could spare.
He said that on the morning of the
