VI D Ill D EXCLUDE
ALIENS OVER IS
WHO CANNOT READ

WASHINGTON, Dec. Senator Dillingham;
of Vermont chairman of the former
immigration commission which strongly
recommended that immigration be re-
strictcd has introduced n bill which pro-
vides that male aliens over sixteen years
of age who cannot read in some
language or dialect shall he excluded
from the United States The bill also pro-
vidcs that the number OF aliens of any
Nationality who may be admitted to the
United States i'm any fiscal year shall
not exceed ten per centum of the num-
Der of persons OF such nationality resi-
dent in the United States at the time
of the federal census next preceding.
Temporary visitors returning aliens, and
aliens coming to join relatives already
here may be admitted in excess of the
per centum limit. and the secretary of
la Dor is authorized to admit aliens with
out reference to the per centum provision
or the reading test when such action is
tustifable as a measure of humanity
y new feature in the bill IS the provision
that neither the per ccntum limit, the con-
tract labor law, or the reading test shall
he applicable to aliens coming as actual
agricultural settlers under conditions pre-
scribed by tho secretary of labor. Unlike
the bills vetoed by Presidents Cleveland.
Taft and Wilson. in which the reading or
literary test applied to both sexes. the
Dillingham; bill provides that such test
shall apply only to males.
The per centum limit, which was first
proposed by Senator Dillingham; in the last
Congress, definitely limits the number
of immigrant aliens who can he admitted
from any country. and its effect would he
to reduce immigration from southern and
eastern Europe considerably below the
average in recent years without interior
ing with the normal movement from west
crn European countries.
There were in round numbers 2,,Oi. 900 ma
tivcs of Germany in the United States in
1910 and therefore go, 400 could be admittc
from that country annually under the 10
per centum limit until the census Of 1920
furnished n new basis for computation
But as the normal Immigration from Ger
many Is now only about $3.50 annually it
is highly Improbable that the limit would
he reached In any year. On the other
hand there We're only 1.672.G0 natives of
Austria Hungary here in 1910 and the num-
Der admissible from that country until
1920 would he 1870 annually, or about S0.-
coo less than the average in recent years.
immigration from Italy would be cut down
considerably more, and that from Rus
ella somewhat less. while the normal i'm
migration from Greece would be reduced
more than one-half.
1t is provided thac transportation COM
panios shall he subject to n fine OF 800 for
each alien brought to the United States In
excess of the maximum number allowed.

5 CAPE BAND BOYS
GO TO FRISCO FAIR
Richmond Blues. Crack Military
Organization, to Treat Musi.
clans With Long Trip.

Five members of the Schuchert Con-
cert Band, which attended the Rich
mond reunion, are going to make an
extended trip to the Worlds Fair at
San Francisco before returning to this
city. This message reached this city
yesterday in telegram to J. NJ. ALI
son, the Broadway merchant, from his
son, Gordon Glenn Allison.
The message came from Richmond,
and notified Mr.. Allison that they were
going to depart within the next TWEEN
ty-four hours. The five boys are to be
guests of the Richmond Blues, a veal
thy branch of the Virginia National
Guards.
The Schuchert Band, which was Sc
lected by the Richmond Blues to head
their parade, made a decided hit with
the Virginia military men. More than
one hundred members of the organize
ton decided to visit the Panama Expo
sition and they wanted the whole
Schuchert Band to be their guests. But
when it was learned that only five of
the musicians had remained in the
city, they invited them to make the
trip, and the invitation was accepted.
All of the expenses of the musicians
will be paid by the Richmond Blues.
This unusual honor was received with
delight from the parents of the young
men and DR.. Schuchert, the director of
the band.
