FINAL PASSAGE.
OF BILL TODAY
SENATOR La AFoLLETTE's AMEND.
MENT TO THE IMMIGRATION
MEASURE PREVENTS VOTE,
PRESIDENT may VETO THE BILL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-lCinal ac-
tion on the immigration bill was de-
ferred by the senate tonight to per-
init committee consideration of an
amendment proposed by Senator La.
Toilette to eliminate language exclud-
ing persons who advocate or teach de-
struction of property. A vote on the
passage OF the bill probably will be
reached tomorrow.
Senator LaFollette contended that
there were other sufficient bars
against anarchists and that the pro.
vision to which he objected would
shut the doors of the United States
to worthy men from other lands be.
cause destruction of property had been
incidental to revolution in which
they were concerned.
Another entire day was devoted to
the bill by the senate, most of the de-
bate centering on amendments sug.
gested to the literacy test provision,
the exclusion of Asiatics and the right
of asylum for the prosecuted.
A provision which would have for
bidden entrance to any alien convicted
of crime, even of a political char.
acter, constituting felony in the Uni
ted tSates, was eliminated after sew
eral senators had pointed out that such
law would have prevented the en-
trance into the United States Of patri-
OTIS like Kossuth and Garibaldi.
N Senator Phelan's amendment to
deny entrance to women of any race
whose men are not admitted despite
the provisions of any treaty or agree
ment or the fact that they are to be
married here, unless they are in fact
married according to American law,
was rejected. He explained it was
purposed to exclude the so-called Jap.
anese picture brides. .:.
Before the recess tonight, Senator
Gallinger, the minority leader, said he
hoped the bill would soon be passed
and discussion of immigration qNes.
tions with Japan would cease. AL.
though the senate took this question
up behind closed doors, he said, it
had gone over most of the ground in
open session, and further discussion
must become distasteful to Japan.
In answering question, Senator
Smith, chairman of the immigration
committee, said he had no knowledge
whether President Wilson would veto
it or approve the bill. 1t has been
stated authoritatively, however, that
another veto awaits the measure il
it is passed with the literacy test pro-
vision

cution the case was dismissed 1t
developed from the testimony that
the playing was entirely between the
defendant, who was charged with con-

At the close of the states case Mr..

complaining witness had signed. He
filled in one of these, when he had
no right to do SO, it is claimed, and
