Cummins Attacks Presi-
dents Influence on I'm
portant Legislation.
ATTACK COMES IN
SHIP BILL DEBATE
All Measures Of General interest Con-
sdered, With Exception Of Tariff
Measure, Initiated in office Of Presi-
dent or of Cabinet Minister-LesisIa-
tive Branch Of Government Becomes
Mere Recorder.

Washington, Jan. ga vigorous
attack upon President Wilson's influ-
ence on legislation and on sentiments
expressed in the presidents Indianap-
oils speech, was made today by Sem
ator Cummins in debate on the ship
purchase bill.
"One of the most disastrous asser-
tions," he said, was his characterize
ton Of the bill. It's effect has been and
will continue to be to strengthen the
republican cause.
II predict it will pass into history
as lamentable attempt Of a presi-
dent to forget the courtesy and dig
nifty always looked for In one who oc-
cupies the most exalted office in the
world. and the dismal effort of a man
of mature age to change the habit Of
a lifetime in order to win momentary
applause"
Destroys Trust in Party.
He declared it to be his "deliberae
judgment that taken as a whole, the
course of the president has in two
years turned back the hands upon the
dial of progress so far that his party
will not again be trusted with the
time piece of the twentieth century,"
At length he attacked the presi-
dents influence on congress and de-
clared that. with the exception Of the
tariff law, all measures on general is
sues considerd In his administration
had been initiated in.his office or in the
office of cabinet minister.
Needs Clerk, Not Congress.
Somehow. the spirit of>o institu-
tions has been TRANSFORMED" he con-
tinued. and the legislative branch Of
the government has become a mere
recorder. What the president wants
is journal clerk instead OF a con-
gress."
Senator Cummins attacked all Of the
principal reform measures Of the ad-
ministration and said that If the ship
ping bill became a law we will have
imposed upon the people the most re-
dictionary. indefensible legislation,
which, so far as my knowledge goes,
has ever appeared in congress-"

PUBLIC HEARING
ON LITERACY TEST
Five Hundred Men and Women Present
to Debate Question Before President
Wiison-Farmers' Organizations Fa-
vor Test.


Washington, Jan. 22.-Five hundred
men and women-social workers, So
cialists and publicists-crowded the
east room of the White House today
at public hearing on the immigra-
tion bill.
Three hours were apportioned to the
opponents and the supporters of the
measure.
President Wilson, at q long table,
listened to the discussion. Speakers in
favor of the measure contended that
the test would improve the quality of
immigrants; those in opposition de-
clared it was no test at all and many
would be kept out who should be ad
mitted, because they could not read
and write.
James Patten opened the hearing for
the advocates of the bill. He said he
spoke for all organizations qualified
to represent the farmers Of the coun-
try. He said farmers wanted further
restrictions on immigration. Mr.. Pat
ten charged that opponents of the bill
desired to "Russianize' America, but
the president quickly stopped him, ask
ing that the question of motive" be
left out of the argument.

DANGEROUSLY NEAR WAR,
Senator Lodge Points Out Possibilities
If Ship Bill! Becomes Law.

Washington. Jan. 22.-Attributing to
the administration an intention to buy
German ships interned in American
ports, if the ship bill is passed, Sen
ator Lodge today declared the meas
ure would bring us within measurable
distance of war, not with England
alone but with France, Russia and
Japan
He quoted from house committee
hearings to show that Secretary Nc
Adoo had practically admitted that
the purpose Of the bill was to buy the
German ships" laid up in Boston and
New York If such were not the pur-
pose, Senator Lodge suggested that the
impression now general could be cor
voted down in committee to debar the
said, he believed had already been
voted down in committee to rebar the
government from such purposes. "To
buy the German ships and relieve the
owners from the expense of carrying
them, and hand over to them $40. .000,-
600 or s4o,Oo0,00e in money" he said,
would be of great assistance to one
of the belligerents. 1t would be an un-
neutral act and might be considered
as hostile act
Dacia Experiment Dangerous.
Senator Lodge stated he had been
informed that the administration had
determined to send the Dacia, Ger
man owned ship purchased by Ameri-
cans and transferred to American reg
istry, abroad to furnish test case.
1T seems to me rather dangerous
business to make test cases of this
cflaracterin time of war, when beIlig-
ent nations are protesting such action
and for the state department to send
forth vessel on which our war In
surance bureau has failed to issue"
1t is said by other nations that such

declared. he said. was not regular. In
view Of the present empty cargo SPACE
going to South America. Senator Lodge
said the United States could not de-
sire the ships for that traffic but only
for the European trade.
Regard Ships az German.
In carrying on European trade he
urged the enemies OF Germany would
still regard the ships as German and
liable to be sunk.
The emergency In the shipping busi-
ness, once advanced for the reason Of
buying the ships. Mr.. Lodge said, was
not a good argument, as ships were go
ing to South America empty and dis
charging facilities were not being OBJ
tanned in the crowded ports Of Europe.
Taking up the list Of interned boats
he declared that, with two or three ex-
ceptions. these vessels were unsuited
for the purpose the administration
had in mind and their purchase would
be waste Of money
