IMMIGRANT BILL
Insults ASIATICS,
CLAIMS Bennett
New York Scion Thinks Meas
ure Too Harsh; Praises
Japan'S Attitude
fAssOcis.sd Press By Federal wirslsssI

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 2S.-
That the clauses in the Burnett immi'
grafton bill, now before the house,
which relate TO the immigrat ton OF
Asiatics, are an insult to the govern.
ment OF Japan and question the good
faith OF that government, was urged
during yesterdays debate by Repre-
sentative william s. Bennett of New
York, who stated his belief that the
clauses should be eliminated before
the measure was passed.
Representative William F.. Humph-
rey Of Washington, had offered an
amendment TO the measure which
would prevent Asiatics of any class
from entering the country by way of
Canada, making II obligatory on all
aliens from the Orient, although ad-
missable under the terms Of the bill,
10 apply for entry only at an American
seaport.
This amendment was voted down by
a large majority. During the discus
sion which the amendment provoked,
Representative Bennett characterized
the general anti-Asiatic features OF the
bill as insulting 10 the Japaense gov
eminent .a-
He pointed out that the Japanese
government is Loyalty maintaining the
the full spirit Of the "gentlemans
agreement" entered into between the
American and japanese governments
az the time OF the California school
Question agitation, and is showing
every disposition to SO restrict immi-
grafton as to eliminate the possible
points of friction. ~ st. -
Representative Hayes Of California
agreed with Representative Bennett
that the good faith of the Japanese in
the carrying out of the gentleman's
agreement had been demonstrated In
every way, but said that he could not
agree in the statement that the text
Of the bill could be construed as In.
sulting to Japan or any other country.
There is nothing Objectionable in the
language used, he declared.

OLD HAWAIIAN ADMITS
HE HAS SMOKED OPIUM
FOR TWO SCORE YEARS

With bent shoulders and hating
step an old Hawaiian man named
Peahi hobbled before the police judge
yesterday morning and pleaded guilty
on a charge of smoking opium. He
told Judge MonsarTRt that he had been
a victim of the habit for 40 years, and
that he had tried to quit, but could
not do SO.
Owing to the fact that Peahi had
given the detectives valuable EVIL
dence in the prosecution of several
other lawbreakers, the prosecution
asked leniency of the court, Peahi
limped out with a suspended sentence
hanging over him. T. .s- s..--

IMMIGRATION BILLS
PROVISIONS AS MEASURE
WAS DEBATED IN HOUSE

Especial bt0r-NuuoIll t5sfnNponooncol
(Sinee the article below was written
the house has been debating the i'm
migration bill, being on the Aslatle ex-
eiusion provisions yestsrday.)
WASHINGTON, ID. Cit develops
that "Oid Man Literacy" has not been
stalking through the corridors of the
capitol for nothing. His reincarnation
has been to some purpose. A few
patches have been added to his coat
and many statesmen who disliked
him heretofore now believe he is whit
er than described
The titeracy test has been modified
somewhat and made acceptable to the
Hebrew, who previously opposed It
with great vigor. In further ways it
has been made more presentable. 1t
is even suggested that now President
Wilson might be able to approve the
immigration bill without straining his
conscience.
The changes in the old provision
have had the effect Of making the
measure apparently waterproof Chair
man Burnett has counted noses in the
house. He has 2S0 pledges to stand
by the bill from start to finish. This
is a sufficient number to pass the
measure over presidential veto.
There is no doubt of similar action by
the senate. Tho hteracy test section,
as revamped, follows:
"All aliens over 16 years of age,
physically capable Of reading, who can
not read the English language, or
some other language or dialect, in
GLIDING Hebrew or Yiddish: Provided,
That any admissible alien. or any ali
en- heretofore or. hereafter legally ad-
mitted, or any citizen Of the United
States, may bring In or send for HIS

age, his wife, his mother. his grand
mother, or his unmarried or widowed,
daughter, II otherwise admissible,
whether such relative can read or
not; and such relative shall be per-
mitted to enter That for the purpose
of ascertaining whether aliens can
read the immigrant inspectors shall
be furnished with slips Of uniform
size, prepared under the direction of
the secretary OF labor, each containing
not less than 80 nor more than 40
words in ordinary use, printed In

in such language or dialect That the
following classes of persons shall be
exempt from the operation of the IL
literacy test, TO wit: All aliens who
shall prove to the satisfaction of the
proper immigration officer or to the
secretary of labor that they are seek
ing admission to the United States to
avoid religious persecution in the
country of their last permanent resi-
dence, whether such persecution be
evidenced by overt acts or by laws or
governmental regulations that dis
criminate against the alien or the race

of that usually carried at this season
of the year. The saving deposit ac-

Wednesday evening, Mrs. Geo.
Mitchell, who always entertains

ner, presented her beautiful and
talented daughter, Miss Virginia
Preston, assisted by Miss Donna
Fisher, of Memphis, a lovely type
of petite blonde, in 2 most de-
lightful invitation recital at the
Comus Theatre.
This is the first time the peo-
pie of Tupelo have been treated
to an event of this kind, and the
occasion was a source of great
enjoyment to the crowded house,
which represented the intellectu-
atty and culture of the town.
Miss Mitchell possesses a rich
mezzo-soprana of marked beauty,
which has been caresully trained
at Mary Baldwin Seminary I'M

a talent such as it has never en-
joyed before.
The stage was beautifully dec
Grated with marguerites and
ferns in a color scheme of white
and green, which formed an en-
trancing background for the
lovely costumes of the young la
dies.

handsomely gowned in a creation
of white chiffon, embroidered
with seed pearls and handmade
French roses, carrying a hand
some shower bouquet of pink
roses and white sweet peas. In
part two. she wore a dainty
gown of pink taffeta and carried
different bouquets which were
presented her in appreciation of
her lovely voice.

lace and trimmed with dainty
rosebuds. In part two she wore
a lovely blue embroidered chif-
fon, carrying flowers presented

ments most effectively. and Prof.

FALL

PUYALLUP, Jan. Tn the
sight Of score of spectators,
Mrs. M. F. Porter, wife of the
Puyallup city attorney, slipped
and fell to her death under the
wheels of a fast Northern Pa
oific train at the 18th street cross
ing here this morning.
The accident happened at 7:40
.. m. as Mrs. Porter was on her
way to catch the Short Line inter
urban car for Seattle.
Apparently she was not
warned Of the approach of the
train as she started to hurry
across the tracks. Suddenly her
foot slipped and she fell head
long across the rails.
Before any OF the spectators
had time to go to her assistance
the train bore odwn upon her and
passed over her body, killing her
instantly.
Engineer Packard and Conduc-
tor Lemon were in charge of the
train, which was bound for Ia
coma.
Mr.. and Mrs. Porter had been
residents in Puyallup since 1904,
when they came to the coast
from Missouri. They were prom

of the city. Mrs. Porter was 40
years old. She Is survived by

NJ. Gardner, of Memphis,

To Study Flood Dangers.
Engineer Roberts, who is ia
charge Of the inter-county river

TIM two officials on an inspection.
Commissioner Williams said the
engineers would make no state

Inspected conditions and could
give a complete report.

reeted toward making the river
immune from floows.

No Immediate Danger.
The methods employed by the
government on the Mississippi to
prevent erosion have been highly
successful. 1t Is probably that
the same methods will be used
in future work In Pierce county.

risen considerably today from
snow on the hills, there
was no immediate danger Of .
destructive flood.

RAIN OR
SNOW, IS
QUESTION

Now which should it do, snow
or rain?
That's the question which
bothered Tacoma all morning
long.
In Seattle it's raining; in Port
land it's showing. It's raining on
the coast.
The weather man had almost
decided to have nothing to do
with anything that's doing in Sc
attic when, about 1890, he al

Commissioner T. r. & P. Woods
has had shoveling melted slush
from the streets, sharpened up
their hopes for continuation of
their jobs.
But Just then. the fire depart
ment rushed out on an alarm and
scared all the pep out of the
flakes.
The Puyallup river is up in the
air, too, and Is still undecided
whether to spread itself out over
the valley.
All together it's quite unsatis-
factory. The only thing that is
sure enough certain is wet feet.
And that means grippe.
