ANOTHER DAY OF DEBATE
aH ON IMMIGRATION BILL
Over Exclusion of Aliens on Account
of Race.


Washington Dec. 12-After Anoth-
er day of debate over the exclusion of
a}iepse on account of race, the SEN
ate late today adopted the committee
amendment to the immigration bill
which world bar Hindus and certain
other Asiatios without mentioning
them by name. with an added provi-
sion STIMULATING that nothing in the
act shall be construed to repeal any
which serves to prohibit or restrict
immigration.
This added stipula ton, proposed by
Senator Phelan of California, is de-
signed to replace the direct reference
to the so-called "gentlemen's agree
ment" with Japan. which was striclz-
en- out of the house bill by the senate
committee at the request of the state
department
The committee amendment prescrib-
es certain geographical areas from
ted instead of naming the races or ma
tionalities as was done in the bill
as it passed the house. During the
debate Senator Lodge and Senator
Phelan engaged in a lively colloquy,
the former insisting that it was need
less to insert in the bill any reference
to agreements because they would not
strengthen the position of the United
States.
.It sa- great mistake" said Sena-
tor Lodge, for this congress to give
wanton and needless offense to a
friendly nation. by which we gain alb
solutely nothing"
Senator Phe1an declared that after
the bill had passed the house certain
Japanese busybodies objected and that
he thought this government ought to

New York, Dec. 12.--Routine busi-
ness occupied the attention OF the Ma
tional League magnates here today
during the first session of the annual
meeting which is expected to continue
until Thursday. The more important
subjects, such as changes in the
worlds series regulations; the Inter.
national League defiance of the, ma
tional commission in the matter of
the $4,000 award to the Brooklyn
club; the Barney Dreyfuss-Garry
Hermann controversy and the posi-
BILE reprimand of Manager John inc
Graw of the New York Nationals for
his outburst. against his players in the
final Brooklyn York series at the
close Of the pennant season were not
mentioned. according to the official re-
port of the meeting.
The meeting was preceded by a con-
ference of the board Of directors at
the close OF which 1t was announced
that most Of the session had been
taken up in listening to fiscal reports
and the formal awarding of the 1916
pennant to the Brooklyn club. After
luncheon the presidents and other rep
resentatives of the eight clubs assem-
bled and the session continued until
after six o'clock. During the after

ity list under which clubs were per-
mitted last season to carry extra play
ers and adopted new rule for 1917

two players from May's15 to August 81
in place of the 81 player rule in vogue
in 1916. At other periods of the sea-
son the fhiFfv-fiVa -nlaVRr regulation
will prevail as heretofore.
The committee on constitution was
instructed to draw up an amendment
for adoption at the meeting February

five to eight. which virtually means
that hereafter every club president
will be member of this. board, instead
of eight being left out.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCK MARKET CONCLUSIVE.
Important Stocks Fell Away Five to
Ten Points-BethIehem Steel Regis
tered II Point Loss.

New York, Dec 1.-THE stock mar
ket was thrown into a state of convul-
sion today on the news that the cen7
trail powers had instituted peace me-
gotiations. The announcement was
followed by an avalanche of selling
which more than taxed the markets
powers of absorption. Important
stocks fell away to 10 points and in
one instance-Bethlehem Steel, fore
most of war brides"-an extreme
loss of q points was registered.
Rails were the only shares to mani
fest any degree of resistance al
though in that quarter losses of 2 to
points were numerous. with IL
for Reading. No division of the list
was immune from the heavy liquida-
ton, which was at it's flood in the last
hour. Trading at that time was so en-
ormous that the tickers were twenty
minutes behind actual operations.
Short Coverings served in some in
stances to ease final prices, but in no
noteworthy cases were rallies more
than nominal. Many ak-margined
accounts were thrown over and stop

seemed to be honeycombed, constitut-
ed q large part of the days bust
ness.
Total sales were 100000 shares the
largest amount, according to anthem
tic records, since the reopening of the
dom exceeded OF this total United
States Steel and the so-called war
group contributed an unusually large
proportion.
The decline in stocks was accom-
panied by further generalization in
rates Of exchange to Germany and
Austria. with a fall to another mini
mum in Anglo-French bonds. These
operations were partly rectiffed be-
fore the close Of the session.
The day vas not without its bright
side, although Developments of that
nature were completely overshadow-
ed by the news from abroad. The
Western Union Telegraph company
declared an extra dividend of one per
cent. and the Allis-C Chalmers Company
ordered the payment of another defer
red dividend amounting to 1 IL per
cent, accruing to preferred stock.
