IMMIGRATION BILL
(c0ntanusd from Fir,, P.r,l

President Wilson thanked the men and
women for their views and said he
would act upon the bill soon. Unless
ne signs or vetoes IL BY midnight
next Thursday il will become law
without his signature. The president
has indicated strongly. however. that
ne viii veto the measure because he
does not approve of the literacy test.
There is a good deal of discussion in
congressional circles over the posi-.
bilities OF re-passing the bill over the
Presidents veto.
Difference OF Opinion.
When President Taft vetoed an i'm.
migration bill because OF a Iiteracy
test the senate promptly re-passed IL
over his veto but a few votes OF the
necessary two-thirds was lacking in
the house. Some of the champions OF
the bill think both houses could now
re-pass IL. Its opponents are sure II
is impossible.
The President sharply called TO or.

CHARLESTON, w. Va. Jan. 81

two-fifths, or per cent shall be in
cash in the banks vaults. and three.
ffths, or 9 per cent may be on de
post with or due from approved re
serve agents or any other solvent in
stitution doing business outside OF the
state that may be approved by the
commissioner OF banking.
Wheeling. Parkersburg, Hunting

of Mr.. Diehl

Mr.. Diehl further suggests the de

Bath Train for Germans.

Berlin, April 16.--Good news for thousands of German soldiers who have grown field gray in other re- spects than their uniform during the hard winter campaign, is Berlin dispatch to the Frankfurter zeitung of March 20. telling of the departure to the front of a specially built ..hath train.''
 The train consists of three water cars with capacity of 5o,0O0 liter, two bath cars with thirty shower baths, two dressing cars. four storage cars for clean uniforms and under wear. and one storage car for dis carded clothing that is to be disin- fected. There is also a dormitory car for the attendants of the bath train.
 The importance of the new bath train is shown by the fact that with in ten hours it can provide shower baths for 1,20e men, whose clothing in that period can be thoroughly dis infected and washed. The train was built in the state railroad shops of Vienna. Two more are soon to be sent to the field

FAIRFIELD TRIBE OF RED MEN HIT TRAlt
 WITH FIRST PARADE
Institute First Trading Post With Procession Through
 Town Streets.
(speciaI to me Farmer.)

Fairfield, April 16-One of the most splendid parades ever held in Fairfield since the British landed on the beach and marched to the center Of the town was held last evening when tne Unouowa Tribe of Red Men. the .ebaby,, organization of the order in stituted it's first trading post with its first parade. Georgeously decorated automobiles. interesting floats and an abundance of red fire gave the town a gala night.
 The procession was started from the hall of the Red Men, in the post of fee building. Miss Dorothy Killian, daughter of Jacob Ki1lian, one of the officers of the tribe, led the parade, bestriding a white horse. F'olloWlng her were three automobiles from the Elm Auto Co.. containing the officers of the lodge and officials of Fairfield Postmaster Simon C. Bradley and James Haas, riding charger followed, and after them came the Unquowa band.
 The Unquowa band is worthy of att tention. It is g. voluntary organiza1lon recently formed. Despite the absence of uniforms, the band made a decided impression on the populace.
 James. Brown with a lighted float came after the band. Red Men marched after his car and float Of the Campfire Girls of Fairfield, which Attracted much comment because of its interesting features, was next An Indian drag followed that.
 The Fairfield fire apparatus and the Stratfield motor hose apparatus were next in line. The Fairfield Boy Scouts had the most pleasing float. A tent and a camp fire tended by the boys was the feature of the procession.
 Red fire did its best to take the place of lights on Spring street The parade would have been enhanced greatly but for the fact that 1t passed thro,1eh almost subterranean darkness 1 at times. A slight error in patriotism l was committed, when the American flag was used to serve as a joint

NEW HAVEN.

The first citizens of the future city of New Haven landed on the shores of New Haven Bay PIT years ago to- day. April Is, 1ess. Rev. John Day- enport and Theophilus Eaton were the leaders of the company from London which settled the Connect cut city. They arrived in Boston on the Hector in 1887, and MT Eaton headed a party which explored the lands and harbors of Connecticut along the Sound. They finally select ed Quinipiack, as the Indians called the site of the future city, for their settlement. and in the following April the party landed and erected the rude log huts which were the beginning of the city. They purchased land from the Indians in and about New Haven and in the following year a general election of the colontsts was held and TheophiIus Eaton was elected gov ernor. New Haven formed a separate e colony until 1862, when it became a part of Connecticut. New Haven received it's city charter in 1784, and for a long time prior to 1878 it was one of the state capitals. In the lat ter year the state constitution was amended. and all sessions of the gen eral assembly have since been held in HaEtford.

GREAT NATIONAL HIGHWAYS.

A big boom has been given the past week to the idea of the so-cal1ed Dixie h1gnway from Chicago to Miami. Fla. by a conference of represents lives of six states in session at Chat tanooga. Tenn. This and the propos- ed Lincoln highway. east and west are two marvellous American pro- 5ects that will no doubt be realized in due time.
 Several distinct services will be performed by these long distance highways They will set an exam ple of good road b1i1ding to the mill lions of people living all along the route. Long distance automobile travel along these routes will bring the tourist into intimate acquaintance with states and sections with which otherwise he would not become fa- n1i1iar. This tends to broaden peo- pIe,s intelligence and help them to get the point of view of other sec- tions.
 Many people will be encouraged to take these trips by the assurance of q long stretch of good surface, where otherwise they might be uncertain if the roads would continuously be .maeA

I Rome April 16.-A number of French bishops and priests came to Rome today to consult with the Holy See copcerning the prayers for peace written by Pope Benedict for use iA Roman Catho1ic churches the world over next month.
 These clergymen said that the Ro- man Catholics of France, including the clergy. while subscribing to the Popess wish, desired to enbody in the prayers d petition for the victory of their country in the war. In sup port of this contention they pointed out that a larger mum Der of the Ro- man Catholic clergy in France than on any previous occasion had taken up arms for their country.
