more and furnishing their own motor
vehicle may be fixed not to exceed

Routes of "A miles or more, $1,000;
- to "a miles, $1,152; 20 to % miles,

rated last Thursday. a substitute car

WILSON HEARS ANTI
ALIEN BILL ARGUED
immigration Measure Dis
cussed Before Presi-
dent Friday.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-For more
than three hours today Presidest Will
son listened to appeals that he sign
the immigration bill and pleas that he
veto il, voiced by the spokesmen Of
500 men and women who packed the
east room Of the White House.
The speakers were labor leaders,
publicists. social workers. students and
others representing many interests in
life, most of them contending for or
against the literacy test which the bill
proposes shall he applied to determine
the fitness of immigrants to become
citizens of the United States.
Those opposed to the bill contended
that the literacy test and others of its
features are not true tests
of the fitness OF an immigrant; those
for the bill argued such
restrictions were needed to preserve
American standards.
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 IL by midnight
Thursday. II will become law without
his signature. The president has in
dicated strongly. however. that he will
veto the measure because he does not
approve of the literacy test.
There is a good deal Of discussion I'm
circles over the posi-
bility Of repassing the bill over the
presidents veto.
The president sharply called to or
der one speaker during the days hear
ing who discussed the motives Of the
opposing side. but allowed the ap-
plause which followed the close OF
every address.

DEMOCRATS CAUCUS
OVER VESSEL BILL
Senators Lodge and Cum
Minis Were Republican
Speakers Friday.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Demo'
cratic leaders of the senate today de-
termined to hold an all-day caucus
on the government ship purchase bill
tomorrow i'm the hope of reaching final
agreement on all features of the meas
ure. ON this account the senate re-
cessed late in the afternoon until II
o'clock Monday morning and tonight
the Democrats resumed their caucus,
which will be continued tomorrow
until the measure has been perfected.
Among the points of difference re-
naming is Senator Hoke Smiths $
amendment which would provide the
government lease ships to be pur-
chased to private corporations instead
of operating them through a govern
ment controlled corporation, unless
the matter is absolutely necessary.
Another matter that Is causing con
siderable concern is the proposal to
bind the Democrats to caucus action.
Several Democratic members are
firmly opposed to the adoption of any
binding resolution on the bill.
Republican opposition to the meas
ure continued today with Senators
Cummins and Lodge as the speakers.
Senator Root, who had given notice
previously that he would discuss the
bill tomorrow, informed the senate to-
day that he would not seek to be heard
until Monday. He would then give
particular attention. he said, to the
rules of international law bearing on
the transfer Of a ship owned in a bel
ligerent country to the flag Of neu-
tral nation.

British NAV SEIZE Her

WASHINGTON Jan. 22.-ft is
understood here that the British gov
ernment has not been consulted con
cerning the voyage of the American
owned steamer Wilhelmina, with a
cargo Of food supplies from New York
direct to Hamburg Germany.
The state department has advised
the charter parties OF their legal
right to take such cargo to Germany,
provided the food Is not for the use
Of the German government or army.
Nevertheless, the opinion prevails
among the officials that the British
government will not hesitate to seize
this cargo, though the ship itself may
be held free, thus precisely reversing
the facts in the case OF the former
Hamburg american liner Dacia and
her cargo OF cotton.
The British note of January 10 ad-
mitted that foodstuffs should not be
detained and put into prize court
without presumption that they are in
tended for the armed forces OF the
enemy or the enemy's government.
But while expressing an intention 20
adhere to that rule, the British gov
ernment added I'VE cannot give an
unlimited and unconditional under
taking. In view Of the departure. by
those against whom we are fighting,
from hitherto accepted rules OF civ
ilization and humanity, and the un-
certainty az to the extent to which
such rules may be violated by them
In future"
This was accepted az a reservation
of the right OF the government to ex-
anime into each shipment of It's mer-
It's which, OF course. would involve
the detention OF the ship at some Brit
ish port while the investigation was
made.

.RISKING SEIZURE,
U.S.. VESSEL SAILS
Steamer Flying American
Flag Leaves With Cargo
of Foodstuffs.

NEW YORK, Jan. g2.-Risking
possible seizure by British warships
lying off the Atlantic coast, the Amer
iCan-owned steamer Milhelmina fly
ing the American flag and loaded with
approximately 100000 worth of food
stuffs consigned by an American COM
mission firm to an American citizen
in Germany, passed out to sea to-
night. 1t is the first voyage of the
kind undertaken by any vessel from
an American port since the war be-
gan in Europe nearly six months ago.
If the Wilhcmina is detained or
seized, the w. l.. Green Commission
company of st. Louis, charterers of
thefvessel and shippers of her cargo,
according to their counsel here, will
file a protest with the American state
department declaring that the cargo is
conditional cOntrahand, denying the
right Of a belligerent warship to con-
fiscate 1t. and requesting tho United
States to demand the immediate re-
lease of ship and cargo.
The cargo consists of grain. meats
and dried fruits, and is intended, ac-
cording to the shippers, for consump-
ton by the civilian population of Ger
many, and will not be sold directly or
indirectly to the German government
or its armed forces.
Won't sell for Armies.
A guarantee to tlis effect was filed
with the United States customs au-
thorities today in the form of an af-
fidavit by w. r. Brooking, represent
ing the shippers. Their counsel said
the shippers were prepared to back
this guarantee with a bond in any
amount Mr.. Brooking will go to
Hamburg to dispose Of the cargo, If il
escapes seizure by warships, i'm retail
lots to private concerns. He prob
ably will obtain written guarantees
that the foodstuffs will be redisposed
of only through retail trading with
civilians and that the military and
naval forces will not be given or sold
any part OF 1t.
The Wilhelmina's captain, Will
Brewer of Philadelphia, is an Amer
lean. and her crew Is American ex-
cept for = few Spanish and Scandi-
navian oilers.

ish consul general i'm New York, when

brought to his attention today, de
clined to discuss the case.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. "a
Here's the most welcome piece of
news for Tulsa and other oil counties
In many day:
The bill by Davidson of Tulsa and
Senator Sutherlin, which abolishes the
office of tax ferret, was today re-
ported out of committee in the SEN
ate and recommended for passage.
For several years the oil people of
the east side have felt the czar-like
oppression Of the tax ferret, but If this
bill becomes a law his days will be
numbered, as the measure carries the
emergency clause.
The bill probably will come up in
the senate for final passage the first
of the week,
on motion of Minority Leader Bur-
ford, the senate adjourned until Mon
day at $50 o'clock. There will be no
session of either the senate or house
tomorrow.
