The house overturned the fetO last week by a vote of 2S7 to 106, and the ac~ tion today by the senate ends the contest of twenty years standing, ia which three presidents have repudi ated similar bills passed by congress.
 The international situation Was brought into the closing debate in the senate when Senator Reed, calling at tention to the Japanese objection pleaded that nothing be done at this time to disturb or impair relations with friendly nations. Senator Smith of South Carolina answered that the present state of international affairs shows the necessity of a pure, homo generous American people, such af thi bill was intended to protect.
 Senators Kirby and Robinson of Ar kansas were among the Democrats voting to override the president veto.
 The literacy provision in the bil excludes from the United States al aliens over 16 years of age, of physi cal capacity for reading, who can not read the English language, or some other language or dialect, including Hebrew or Yiddish. And adult who is qualified, or any citizen of thG United States, moy bring his forei gl father, grandfather if over 5, wife | motheE, grandmother or unmarried or widowed daughter, if otherwise qualified, regardless of whether sucr relatives can read.
 i Immediately after the action of tho senate, Representative Gardner in troduced in the house a new immi. grafton measure, to limit the numbe! of aliens entering the country, to 200,, l 900 in excess of the number of out going aliens.

Master and Three Members of Crew of British Vessel
 Are Reported Killed.
WASHINGTON SURE,
 NOT "OVERT ACT'
Relief Prevails That Facts Wilg show the Ea,rstonp Resisted or Attempted to Escape. and That Shrii h.
 tended for Ship Hi Small Boat.

Washington, Feb 5.-The grave concern with which thc American
 government has been awaiting de velopments since the break with Ger many was not perccptiDly increased by press dispatches tonight announce ing that an American member of the crew of the British steamer EaveS- tone had been killed by shells from
 a German submarine. Confidence ap- parently was felt in all quarters that a full report would show that the yes sel was attached in accordance with the rules ef cruiser warfare, and that
 the incident would not prover tho 'overt act' which would mean war.
 According to stories of the surviv- OTIS of the Eaveston, the master and
 three members of the crew were killed
 while leaving the ship in boats There have been several instances in the past in which the Germans have been charged with deliberately she'll l ing open boats. but the cases have ! never been established to the satis faction of the state department. It is believed here that the facts will show the Eavestone was resist 1 ing or attempting to escape. and thai shells intended for the ship struck l the small boat.
 Survivors Say Smelling Deliberate. l London, Feb. 5.-An official state
 ment relative to the sinking of the Eavestone declares:
 | "The survivors of the steamer l Eavestone, who landel today. report | that their ship was sunk by shell fire from a German submarine. The crew ] abandoned the sinking ship, and was shelled in their boats. The master
 and three seamen were killed and the
 second mate badly wounded Amona

Means More for PeOnle.

Representative Magec consulted with Pine Bluff and Jefferson people Saturday night over the municipal court bill, and it was at the instance of proponents of the plon that he re- duced the salaries to be paid the of ficers of the new court.
 The purpose of the establishment of municipal court being to improve the system, promote the adminlstra- tion of justice and divert fees from the pockets of individuals into the county and city treasuries, it was pointed out that it would be well not omake the proposed new tribunal too costly, and thereby defeat the pur' pose sought.
 | At the salaries mentioned in the new measure, the offices will attract good men, and the operation of the court add to the revenues of the coun- ty and city from a source from which they have heretofore derived noth- ing.
 Mir. Magee will have the support oi all who are sincerely interested ;n the welfare of the county and city in his effort to secure the passage ,i
