women ASK Veto FOR
IMMIGRATION MEASURE.
Miss Addams and Other Social Work
ers Call on President-Hope-
full from His Reply.

Miss Jane Adams. of Chicago, headed
delegation of women settlement work
ers who called upon President Wilson
yesterday to veto the immigration bill
providing for a literaCy test when it
comes to him. The Presidents reply.
although it did not go beyond a declara-
ton of his opposition to such a test,
encouraged Miss Adams and her com
panipns in the belief that he would veto
the bill.
Miss Adams was accompanied by Miss
Mary Z. Mcdowell and Miss Lydia
Schmidt. of the University of Chicago
Settlement; Mrs. William d. Lloyd, Mrs.
Bertram Sippy, Mrs. NJ. II. Weymouth,
and Miss Florence Holbrook, social serv-
ice workers of Chicago.
Miss Adams told the President that
one reason for opposing the test was that
it would place a bar against the practice
OF fOTeign-born citizens sending for their
aged parents after establishing them
selves in this country. While these aged
persons often cannot read or write, said
Miss Adams. their sons and daughters,
for the most part, are easily able to sup
port them and prevent their becoming
public charges.
Representative aBrtlett, of Georgia
vino was a visitor to the White House
before Miss Adams and her party. de-
Clared that the House would not pass the
immigration bill over the Presidents veto.

MILITIA OF STATE
Unofficial Reports Tell of Disbanding
of South Carolina Organization.
War Department Unadvised.

Unofficial reports reached here late
yesterday that Cole Blease. governor of
South Carolina, has disbanded the militia
organizations of the State. No notice to
this effect has yet reached the War De-
partment.
Federal contributions to the support Of
the South Carolina militia WAS cut off
last year following a controversy between
the governor and the War Department.
Federal inspectors reported that large
quantities OF Federal property assigned
to tn" South Carolina militia could not
bt accounted for by the State officers
and that in other respects the orSaniza-
tious were not complying with the Fed

II participate in the parade after he found
negroes were to be included. The governor
once wrote to the department. in de-
fense of the militia of his State, that If
there were trouble in Mexico the South
Carolina National Guards would be found
right at the front and not in swivel
chairs at Washington and that he be-
lieved the South Carolina militia could
clean up all Mexico by itself if given the
opportunity.

Bill Means Long Step Toward More
Equitable Rolls-Urged by
commissioners.

The House yesterday passed. without
extended discussion and on a viva voice
vote, a bill reported out Of the District
Committee calling for annual instead OF
trennial assessments in the District.
The bill was prepared and introduced
by Representative johnson. chairman OF

which has been emphasized by District
Commissioners for years and its enact
ment will mean a long step toward more
equitable assessment rolls.

killed in the House after Representatives
Johnson, Prouty and others had amended
it in an effort to abrogate through il
the half-and-half plan. carried this re-
form as well as a new organization for
the assessors department. The measure
passed yesterday in assured OF favorable
action this session in the Senate. 1t may
be followed by a measure reOrganizing

BORLAND DEFENDS
PRESIDENTS ACTION
Representative Argues that Recess
Appointments Are Justified by
MANY Precedents


A defense of President Wilson's action
in making recess appointments in Mis-
souri,, New Jersey and other States was
delivered in the House yesterday after
noon by Representative Borland, of Mis-
souri,
The Presidents course in this direction
has been bitterly assafled in the Senate,
and a subcommittee of the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee has been instructed to
inquire into the perrogatives of the Presi-
dent in making recess appointments. Mr..
Borland's argument was the first word
that has been heard on the floor of either
branch of Congress on the favorable side
of this controversy. Borland, however,
cites numberless precedents supporting
tht executive, showing that every Presi-
dent from Monroe down has made such
appointments and that nearly a dozen
Attorney Generals, including former Sec
retary of State and United States Senator
Philander c. Knox, and former Justice of
the United States Supreme Court William
II. Moody, during the Roosevelt admins
tration, found the practice justified by
the Constitution. Mr.. Borland, in part,
said:
1T is thoroughly settled that the Presi-
dent has the constitutional power of do
ing what he did do. The Constitution
provided, section 8. article II, that the
President shall nominate, and by and
with the advice and consent Of the SEN
ate. shall appoint certain officers of the
United States. 1t is further provided in
the same section that the President shall
have power to fill up all vacancies that
may happen during the recess of the SEN
ate, by granting commissions which shall
expire at the end of their next session. :
This clause of the Constitution must be
read and construed in connection with
another clause of the same instrument,
to wit: (Section 3, article ID That the
President shall take care that the laws
be faithfully executed
