Overwhelming Majority Is Re-
corded in Sdte of Objection
Registered by President
Wilson,
ONLY SEVEN VOTES ARE
CAST AGAINST MEASURE
Veto Is Ptobabsi Upper Cham
Der Adopts Several Amend
mentS but Does Not Change
Any Vital Feature

Washington, Jan 2.--The immigra-
finn bill containing the restrictive lit
eracv test for admission of aliens
which has been the obstacle in immi-
grafton reform legislation for the
greater part of two national admin
istrations, passed the senate late to-
day by a vote of so toy7 The over
whelming majority was recorded des-
mite the fact that President Wilson
had indicated he would veto the
measure. as dl former President
taft il il should come to him with
the education test included.
The vote in the senate indicated
that the bill could be re-passed by
more than the required two-thirds
majority should The president reject
the measure. Senator's who voted
against the bill were.
Rrandegee, McCumber, MARITIME,
OGorman, Ramsdel Reed and
Walsh
The bill passed the house on Febru-
ary 4, last by vote of 24l TO 1875.
BeIgians Exempted.
Although the senate amended the
house bill in several particulars the
lteracy test was unaltered, save for
an additional exemption to Belgian
subjects, which was adopted today af-
ter prolonged debate. House leaders
probab bly, will ask for conference on
senate amendments Monday, but ad-
ministration leaders were confident
senate amendments would be accept
ed and the bill sent to the president
BY the middle of next week.
Among senate amendments which
house leaders have said probably will
be accepted is one to exclude from
the United States all persons of the
African race or negro blood. Another
strengthens the phraseology of the
prohibition of polygamists.
Closing hours Of the debate today
were devoted to an amendment by
Senator Lodge to exempt Belgian
farmers from the lteracy test and
from the provisions which prohibit
Americans from soliciting or inducing
immigration. Already several Ameri-
can organizations are endeavoring to
induce Belgian refugees to settle in
this country. The amendment, as fin
ally adopted by a vote of 81 to %,
follows:
THAT the provisions of this act re-
lating to the illiteracy test or induced
or assisted immigration shall not ap-
ply to agricultural immigrants from
Belgium who come to the United
States during the course of the pres
ent European war or in one year after
its termination, owing to conditions
or circumstances arising from the
war. If il is shown to the satisfaction
of the commissioner general of imml-
grafton that the said Belgian immi-
grants come with the intention of en-
gaging in agriculture in the United
States and to become American citi-
zens."
The amendment precipitated long
discussion. Many amendments were
offered to include all subjects of bel
ligerent countries whose homes had
been invaded.
Senator Poindexter declared that
other nations would protest under the
favored nations clause of their treaties
with the United States.
Senator Root. who made an elo-
