HOUSE BARS AMENDMENT
TO EXCLUDE NEGROES
Votes Against Idea of Keeping Them
from These Shores. Though Senate
Favored This Plan.

BY vote Of 80 to 70, the House yes
terday struck from the immigration bill
the Senate amendment that proposed
to exclude negroes from admission to
the United States. The fight on the
amendment was led by Representative
Burnett a Southern man, joint author OF
the bill, who declared that If the amend
ment was adopted it would result in
the defeat of the measure. He charged
that the amendment had been put in
the bill by its enemies who hoped thus
to encompass its defeat.
The amendment aimed at negroes had
created a good deal OF excitement in
Washington. which has a negro popula-
ton of about 10000. Accordingly, scores
of negroes. men and women, occupied
seats in the galleries Yesterday as the
senate amendment was under discus
sion.
The House later turned its attention
to the amendment proposing to exempt
Bclgians from the application of the lit
cracy test. and by an overwhelming vote
refused to concur in the Senate amend

the present methods or taxation about
S..Jn.VoO. which is left over to the credit
OF the District and to make up for which
taxes must be levied upon the people of
my StIte and all the other States of tbs
Union.
Mr.. Smith. OF MaryIand-Mr. President.
! will ask the Senator If he realizes that
there is a large funded debt due by the
District and by the government. amount
ing to nearly 100000 which in the past
the taxes have not been sufficient to pay,
but which has to be met?
Mr.. Kenyon. DO the surplus revenues
OF the District go to pay that?
Mr. Smith. OF Maryland. Any surplus
may be applied for that purpose. The
amount has to be raised by the tax
payers. As I have said there is due by
the District of Columbia and by the gov
ernment nearly S7,OOO,OOO.
Mr.. Kenyon am not familiar with
just what the funded debt is. 1 know
that an investigation a short time ago
disclosed the fact that the District
owed the government a large sum of
money on account Of the interest the
government had advanced on the fund
ed Indebtedness.
Mr. Smith, of Maryland-That has
been paid: all the floating debt has
been paid by the District of Columbia;
but there is now due a funded debt of
about six and three-quarter million
dollars, for which the money will have
to be raised. Any surplus that accrues
from taxation will probably go to pay
the Districts part OF the funded debt.
Mr. Kenyon-That is an interesting
statement. I was not familiar with
that, and neither the House report nor
the report submitted by the distin-
guished Senator in charge of the bill in
any way throw any light upon that
proposition or in any way explain to
the Senate that any part of the surplus
revenue is to be used in the payment
of the funded debt.
Mr. Smith, of Maryland-Any surplus
would go back into the Treasury of the
government, and then the matter of
payment Of the debt would be hereafter
arranged.
Mr.. Kenyon-I think it ought to be
arranged now.

BRITISH REPLY TO u. S.
TO BE CONCILIATORY
Will Try to Check Delay to American
Shipping Wherever Possible.
London Save
Ible to The Washington Herald.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
London. Jan. THE reply of Great
Britain to the American note regarding
interference with its shipping, 1t is said
in well-informed quarters, is wholly con-
ciliatory and shows a disposition on the
part of England to do everything within
season to avert delay to American ship
ping.
England wishes to do everything in
its power consistent with the proper
safeguarding of the interests of the
allies TO facilitate world trade and stim-
ulate commerce. paralyzed as II is by
war conditions. Consequently. it is de-
Clared, there is no disposition on the part
of England to protest against the pur-
chase of German vessels by Americans
where the sales are genuine and the ships
are not so used as to avoid what might
reasonably be called the consequences Of
belligerency.
The use of transferred German ships
in the cotton trade with Germany prob
ably would call forth objections, because
the allies, it is said, would regard such
use as a roundabout means Of escaping
the effects of the war.

steamer Denver's Release Taken as
Hopeful Sign.

The release by British authorities OF
the Mallory Line steamer Denver, seiz .
en- route from Norfolk to Bremen with a
cargo of cotton, was reported to the
State Department yesterday.
The detention of the Denver was re-
ported to the Department only yesterday
and her release occurred before this
government could make any representa-
tions in the case. The release of the
Denver is regarded as indicating that GER
tification of cargoes by British and
American government representatives at
the time of loading will, as was hoped,
serve to reduce materially the interfer-
ence with neutral American trade. The
Denvers cargo was certified to by the
British consul at Norfolk and also by
United States custom-house officials.

it is hoped that the members will
for get which party elected them
and work teeth and toe-nail to
make a few needed laws. Taxation
is not a political matter. What is
good for the masses is good for the
classes. A corporation, backed
by thousands OF dollars, should not
be forced to pay exorbitant interest
or taxes on the money invested in
this state. Court capital and CAPT.
tai will return your love ten. told.
Appoint a tax commission who will
force the property owners to turn

to tighten the burden on those who

neighbors if he is correct. When
a man signs the sworn statement
that he has turned in all and you
