Opposition to immigration Bill

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Unex-
pected opposition to the immigration
bill has developed in the senate,
blocking progress on that measure
and leading to general argument
over the question of the exclusion OF
aliens on account of race. Senator
Works of California started the dis
cussion by giving notice that he will
reserve the right TO demand a separ-
ate vote on the senate amendment
providing for the exclusion of Hin
dus and other Asiatics. He insisted
it would leave the United States at
the mercy of japanese dictation con
cering immigration. AS treaty rights
are involved, the senate went into an
executive session, lasting over an
hour without a vote.
President Wilson, it is understood,
has announced he will veto the i'm
migration bill If it comes to him with
the literacy test provision. Early in
his administration he vetoed a sim
liar measure.

SCHOOLS AND CAMPS
IN NATIONAL FORESTS

Increasing use OF the national for
ests for municipal camp sites and
summer school locations is reported
by the forest service. Permits have
already been issued to several cities
and educational institutions and 9TH
er applications are expected. Off
cials say that far more people use
the forests for public Fairgrounds
than for any other purpose, and that
this use promises to be one OF the
most important to which they can be
put.
The city of Fresno, California, has
been granted a permit for the use Of
a l5-acre camp on the shores Of
Huntington lake, in the Sierra Ma
tional Forest. 1t is reported that the
city will establish a camp in which
outings during the summer months
will be provided at low cost for H.
600 school children and their par
ents.
In the same forest a California
state normal school is now occupying
a tract of land which is rented from
the government under a long-term
lease. A number of buildings have
been erected, all of which, as well
as many cottages and camps, are
supplied with water from water
system installed by the forest ser
vice. In connection with the regular
six-week summer course, this school
gives a course in woodcraft and gem
eral forestry subjects. The students
visit the nearby forest service ranger
stations and lookout towers, and
study the governments methods OF
fire protection. Addresses on the
work of the forest service are given
by officials from time to time. The
Georgia State Forest School has a
camp on private lands on the Geor-
gia National Forest where summer
course is given. A feature of this
course is a series of talks given by
members of the forest service sta
toned in the vicinity.
Los Angeles was the first city in
california to establish a vacation
camp in the national forests. tract
of land in the Angeles forest has been
rented. and a large camp built, cost
ing about $4,000 This camp consists
of a long and stone lodge, 46 furnish
ed cottages, tennis and croquet
courts, baseball grounds and hand
ball courts. A Today trip can be
made for a small cost, which is with
in the reach of practically every one.
By this means thousands OF residents
OF the city have been able to spend
their vacations in the mountains.
It is also reported that San Fran
cisco association is considering the
establishment of a summer home tor
girls at Lake Tahoe on the Tahoe Ma
tional forest. Boy Scout troops reg
ularly camp In several of the forests
and on one forest the Y. M. c. A. OF
a nearby city has leased lot ana put
up a permanent camp.
Officials say that the national for
ests offer unlimited opportunities for
summer school and municipal camps
as well as the best opportunities FOR
recreation to be had anywhere in the
country. Ample provision is made
for campers and tourists. Hunting
and fishing are allowed In season
and there are no restrictive resula-
tions beyond those regarding forest
fires.

CHIEFS OF EGOTISM

With eyes ablaze Carranza says
New laws must suit his liking,
And death must be the penalty
If laborers are striking.
Then Gompers tells, with anger

In speech-eXtravaganza,
How much he did of foes to rid
This welching chief, Carranza.
He'll smash him now If fates allow,
His fiat has been spoken;
Avenging quick with Labor's kick
Carranza's S promise broken.
Two chiefs are these way to please,
Delighting cynicism;
They show their bile to make us
smile
Twin chiefs of egotism. ]. A.
