PRESIDENT HEARS
SPEAKERS FOR AND
AGAINST ABC TEST
Wilson Listens for Mere Than Three
Hours to Appeals to Veto
and Sign the Alien
Measure.
DOES NOT GIVE HIS DECISION
If He Does Not Act by Midnight
Thursday Measure Will Become
Law Anyway.
EXECUTIVE CALLS TALKER

WASHINGTON. Jan. 22-For more than
three hours today President Wilson lis
tened to appeals that he sign the immi-
grafton bill and pleas that he veto It.
voiced by the spokesmen of 800 men and
women who packed the historic East
room of the White House.
The speakers were labor leaders. pub
licists, social workers. students and
others, representing many interests in
life. most of the them contending for or
against the literacy test which the bill
proposes shall be applied to determine
the fitness of immiprants to become citi-
zens OF the United states
Plea of Each side.
Those opposed to the bill contended that
the literacy test and other restrictive
features are not true tests of the fitness
OF an immigrant; those contending for the
bill argued such restrictions are needed
to preserve the standards of life of Amer
ican workingmen.
At the conclusion of the arguments
President Wilson thanked the men and
women for their views and said he would
act upon the bill soon. Unless he signs
or vetoes 1t by midnight next Thursday
It will become law without his signature.
The president has indicated strongly, how
ever, that he will veto the measure be-
cause he does not approve of the literacy
test.
There is a good deal of discussion in
congressional circles over the possibility
of repassing the bill over the presidents s
veto.
VIII Veto Beat BilIsS
When President Taft vetoed an immi-
grafton bill because of the literary test
the senate promptly repassed it over his
veto, but a few votes of the necessary
two-tbirds was lacking in the house. Some
fthe champions of the bill think both
houses could now repass it. Its opponents
are sure it is impossible.
The president sharply called to order
one speaker during today's hearing who
discussed the motives of the opposing
side, but freely allowed applause which
followed the close of virtually every ad-
dress.

NEW RAIL LINE
TO HELP OMAHA

that Omaha business men Friday morning
in The Bee read the announcement Of

bodies, that the company of which he
is the head will Immediately commence
the completion of the Guernsey line OF
the road in Wyoming.
Omaha business men assert that with
this line completed lit will open prac-
tically all of Wyoming to the markets OF
this city.
Some time before the Burlington built
the Powder River extension into Orin
Junction, on ninety-nine-year lease II
acquired tnat portion OF the Colorado &
Southern from the last named place
south to Hartville Junction. Connecting
the Platte river branch Of the Bufling-
ton up with the Wyoming line at Hart
willie Junction resulted in opening up a
vast territory west of the Wyoming line
and placing it in touch with the Omaha
markets. However, the line was not
practical. owing to the grades west OF
Guernsey,

Now President Holden announces that
81. 100000 will be spent in the completion
of the Guernsey branch. which, assert
officials at headquarters here. means that
from Guernsey. new line will be built
across country about ten miles, tapping
the Colorado & Southern at Wendover
This line will follow up the valley OF
the North Platte and will require the
boring Of two or three tunnels. With
! this DONE however. ii is asserted thai
through the mountain in the eastern part
of Wyoming the Burlington will have

With the cutoff completed it is as

of this business will be routed by way
