AGREEMENT REACHED on IMMI.
GRAFTON BILL

Washington, January 6-Senate and
House conferences on the immigration
bill virtually agreed after a conference
with Secretary Lansing today, to ac-
cept the measure in the form that it
passed the Senate without mention of
Japanese among the persons to be ex-
cluded That would leave the present
gentleman's agreement regarding the
entrance OF Japanese laborers into the
United States unchanged.
The Secretary was asked to make
clear to the conference, particularly,
the views Of the Japanese and Italian
governments, He Is understood to
have explained that the Italian gov
eminent believes some provision re-
garding inspection on immigrant ships,
and that the Japanese embassy feels
that some of the phraseology relating
to Oriental exclusion is now entirely
the same as that of the bill as agreed
upon at the last session of Congress.
They are said, however, to be no more
than differences of'wording. and men,
bers of the committee expressed con-
fidence tonight the bill as perfected
would entirely satisfy both govern
ments.
The bill probably will be reported
early next week and prompt action is
expected In both Houses Confident
that President Wilson will veto it on
account of the literacy test provision,
sponsors of that action are making
every effort to pledge enough votes to
the final draft to pass it over Veto

lieves this can be accomplished.

ASuggestion
TO
Tobacco Growers

Nothing, in our opinion, is so liable
to seriously effect the present satisfac-
tory prices of Tobacco as the over
crowding Of the market. ~
Our advice to you is, bring each
wagon load to market Just as soon as
you get 1t ready. Don't delay until
you get your whole crop, or the most
OF 1t stripped. To do so will be mis-
take.
A steady market is always better
than glutted one. Don't get too
much here at once. AS our house Is
the largest, we are helped most by a
rush; but, we know that what Is not
good for you is not, in the long run,
good for us.
