LEVER SEED BILL is PASSED.
Authorize Census Director to Collect
and Publish Statistics.

Washington, March 29.-The
Lever bill authorizing the census di-
rector to collect and publish monthly
statistics of cotton seed and cotton
seed products, was passed by the
house late today, after an all-day de-
bate, and now will go to the senate.
Chairman Helm, of the census
committee, gave notice that he would
call up next week the Helm bill,
directing the bureau to collect and
publish statistics of cotton consumed
in the manufacture of explosives dur
ing 1915 and quarterly thereafter.
In reporting the Lever bill, Repre-
sentative Aswell, of Louisiana, said
it was drafted after a conference
with the census director and that it
would afford an opportunity of MAX
ing free application of the law OF
supply and demand.
"The census bureau now provides
for collection of statistics from all
the oil mills regarding the quantity
of cotton seed crushed and linters
obtained" he said. This bill, how
ever, provides for amplification of
these statistics and makes manda-
tory the publishing of them at stat
ed periods. The additional expense
probably will be about $4,000, with
less annually after the first year"

ANOTHER FIGHT WITH VILLA.
Between 80 and 40 Bandits Reported
Slain.

San Antonio, Texas, April 4.-Sur-
prised during their siesta, one of the
groups of Villas forces driven from
Guerrero, was defeated Saturday by
a squadron of the 10th cavalry, ur-
der Col. w. C. Brown, according to
information obtained by Gen. Persh-
ing and forwarded to Gen. Funston
today. In this, the second engage
ment, the American troops have had
with Villas men, the bandits losses
were estimated at from thirty to for
ty killed. No mention of American
loss was made.
News of the reported engagement,
fought at the village of Aguas Cali
entes, twenty-five miles southeast Of
Bachinaba, was brought by friendly
Mexicans to point near>-Rubio,
where detachment of the 10th cav
airy, under command of Major Evans,
halted yesterday. At the time Gen.
Pershing sent his dispatch to Gen.
Funston he had not received an Of
fetal report from Col. Brown, and
the expeditionary commander point
ed out that reports of the encounter
lacked confirmation. Credence in the
news was Indicated, however, by the
fact that he transmitted it to army
headquarters here.
Surprised at Noon.
According to the version of the
Mexicans who arrived at Major
Evans's headquarters, Col. Brown
surprised and attacked the wandering
bandits at noon while they were lying
about the village, many asleep and
all of their horses grazing. Other
than the number reported killed and
the fact that the American forces
captured a number of horses, Major
Evans's informants were without de-
tails of the encounter.
A previous report from Major
Evans stated that Col. Brown was
pursuing the Villa band through the
town of San Antonio.
There was much interest at head
quarters here in the fight, but it was
realized, it was said, that such minor
fights may take place frequently,
their effect being to destroy the
morale of Villas forces, sap their
strength, and thus indirectly aid in
the effort to capture the outlaw chief
tain.
There are known to be other bands
operating in that same part of Mex
leo and a part of the American forces
must remain to deal with them while
another part pushes on in the pur-
suit of the fugitive chief.

PASSED BY THE HOUSE.
Burnett Bill, Goes Through by Vote
of 3O8 to 81.

Washington, March 30.-The Bur-
nett immigration bill, with its liter
acy test and Asiatic exclusion pro-
visions unchanged, passed the house
today, sos to 81. 1t now goes to the
senate, where favorable action is re-
garded as assured.
The literacy test, about which the
fight against the bill has centred,
was sustained, 2S4 to 107. This pro-
vision brought vetoes of similar i'm
migration bills by President Cleve-
land, Taft and Wilson.
Representative Burnett, chairman
of the immigration committee, pre-
dicted tonight there was sufficient
strength to repass the bill over an
other veto. The president has not
indicated his purpose to the house
leaders.
Both record votes on the literacy
test and on the passage of the bill
were without regard to party lines.
Majority Leader Kitchin voted for
the literacy test and for the bill. Mi
nority Leader Mann voted against the
literacy test and then for the bill.
The Humphrey reciprocal exclu-
sion amendment, aimed at retaliation
on British Columbia because of its
exclusion of skilled and unskilled Ia
bor from this and other foreign
countries, was modified today on dis
covery that it operated against Rus
sian immigration. 1t was made ap-
plicable only to a contiguous for
eign country. Representative Ben
nett, of New York, read to the house
telegram from Louis Marshall, OF
New York, pointing out that the
amendment as originally adopted
would exclude Russian Jews, because
Russia has forbidden American Jews
to enter her domain.
The literacy test as adopted would
exclude all aliens over 16, physically
capable of reading, who cannot read
English or some other language, ex-
cept certain relatives of persons al
ready in this country and certain
classes of religious refugees.
Asiatic exclusion provisions specl-
fically bar Hindus. Pacific coast
members were satisfied with these
provisions, who also give legislative
recognition to the existing so-called
"gentlemen's agreement" with Japan
for tho exclusion of Japanese labor
ers.
The bill extends and strengthens
laws regarding smuggling and har-
boring of inadmissible aliens, in
creases penalties imposed on steam
ship companies for illegal acts in con-
nection with immigrant traffic, re-
quir'es ship companies to repay pas
sage expenses tax from four to eight
dollars, and imposes restrictions de-
signed to prevent alien seamen who
leave their ships from remaining in
this country.
