PROTEST TO WILSON
ON LITERACY TEST

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Life in
the Chicago stock yards in a few
brief glimpses was pictured to Presi-
dent Wilson today by group or wom
en- social workers from Chicago as an
argument against the literacy test In
the immigration bill.
The women. headed by Miss Jane
Adams. OF Hull house, and Miss Mary
f. Mcdowell. found In the president
a sympathetic listener. He did not
however. go as far as to commit him
self TO a veto OF the bill, although he
indicated that he Is still opposed 20
the literacy provision.
From an intimate knowledge OF the
foreigners in Chicago's stock yards
section. the women declared that for
eigners coming 10 this country Hitter
ate rapidly learned to read and write
and urged that illiteracy should not
be the criterion In barring them.
". l.. Piotrowski, city attorney oil
Chicago, In a letter 10 Senator Stone
OF Missouri. which was read In the
senate this afternoon. asked all Polish
immigrants be exempted from this lii
eracy test of the immigration bill. The
attorney compared Poland 70 Belgium
and declared that country was being
ruined as badly as Belgium.

COPS CARRYING GUNS
VIOLATE STATE LAW
Must Have License, Same As All
Others, Judge Phelan
Says

Special Deputy Sheriff Michael Gen
erals, who drew revolver on Baker
line conductor when the latter de
manded his fare, few nights ago
appeared before Judge Phelan, Mon
day morning, to answer charge OF
fiourishing a weapon, the case being
brought under a city ordinance. The
ordinance holds that peace officers are
exempt, which caused the raising OF
a fine point OF law. of interest 70
every policeman and deputy in the
state OF Michigan.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Pen
niman decided that action should be
brought under the state law. Judge
Phelan remarked that the state law
forcing everyone TO get license be
fore weapons can be carried, does not
exempt police officers, or any peace
officer, and that under the Law. every
officer who goes armed, is really vio-
lating the statute.
But Deputy Sheriff Generals will
not be charged with carrying or
6ourishing weapon, as such test
case might bring embarrassing Sc
quels.
nc viii De pIoSeCulcU uhuOi Ihe uis
orderly conduct statute, for a breach
of the peace. He admitted that he
was intoxicated at the time OF the
occurrence.
State Senator James Murtha was
in Judge Phelan's court during the
discussion OF tie statutes, and he de-
clared that he would take up the mat
ter OF amending the law so that po
lice officers will be allowed to carry
weapons, without license.
