WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-Congress has over-ridden a veto by President Wilson for the first time and enacted into law the immigration bill with its long-fought literacy test provision. The senate voted @ to 10 to pass the measure notwithstanding the veto and despite the eleventh-hour information that Japan had again protested against the language of the Asiatic exclusion section. The house overturned the veto last week.
 The senate's action ends contest of 20 years standing in which three presidents have repudiated similar bills that congress passed.
 Senator Reed brought the interna- ton situation into the closing of the debate. calling attention to the Japan csc objection and pleading that noth- ing be done at this time to disturb or impair the country's relations with a friendly nation.
 Senator Smith of South Carolina, chairman of the immigration commit tee, answered with the declaration that the present state of international affairs emphasized the necessity for a pure homogeneous American people such as the bill intended to protect.

DUTCH" JOHN IS IN DUTCH
 FOUR KEGS
AFTER FOUR MONTHS OF LIBERTY, CHARACTER IS AGAIN IN TOLLS FOR BOOTLEGGING.
(From Tuesdays Daily)

After enjoying but a brief four months of liberty, Dutch" John Bar ent rested again last night in the county jail. In another part of the county jail reposed four barrels-the immediate cause of the sudden retire ment of Dutch John" from public life. For his has been practically a public life, it is said.
 The sheriff's office was aware of the fact that there was something that merited attention in the recent tour Of Barent to Albuquerque, N. M. Al buquerque, by the way, has almost ceased being regarded, lately, as the metropolis of an adjacent State. It is now listed with Los Angeles, River side, Needles, Gallup, Lordsburg and other moist zone centers.
 So, on the return of John Barent to his native haunts, watch was placed at the station. Not content with this, the officers also stationed themselves on the Jerome Junction road. This precaution was justified, for Barent left the train at the Junction, Sunday, but not rewarded, for he managed to slip into the city without being ob- served.
 Suspicion attached yesterday morn ing to four barrels, marked House hold Goods, Glassware, This End Up, Handle Carefully" They were left in the Wells Fargo office by an Ash Fork train, consigned from one V. Pickett to one Mrs. A. Yetfeld.
 Mrs. A. Yetfield turned out to be a person not on the great register of Yavapai county, nor in any directory In fact, it is quite doubtful that Mrs A. Yetheld exists, at all. A dray was sent for the four barrels by that one, referred to in the beginning of this chronicle, and entitled, Dutch John. ' So, Dutch John" and his barrels were escorted to the Palais de Justice, and while John was entered on the books, one of the barrels was opened. Inside, and carefully packed in excel

ORDERFOR RUTHLESS SUBMARINE WARFARE
 WILL NOTBE REVOKED

BERLIN, Feb. 5.-Peaceful contin- uancc of German-American relations after the departure of the respective embassies at Washington and Berlin in the sense indicated by President Wilson in his address to congress, ap- pears to be very slight, judging by all the information available, and some of it of the highest authenticity.
 It was stated positively in high po- litical circles that the German orders for the conduct of a submarine war fare could not and would not be mod flied; that in Germany the determina- ton to enforce the prohibited zone order was absolute and final and that the only security for shipping was avoidance of the prohibited zone.
 Germany, so it is said, resorted to this measure after the shameful rejection by the Entente Powers or peace overtures and only after the fullest determination and as the im- perative weapon in defense of its threatened interests; Germany cannot relinquish this weapon-the only one promising a speedy end to the war reluctant as Germany was to take this step.
 The government had hoped that the United States would see it in this light, and was and is actuated by no animosity to the United States in its determination.
 Actuated by no animosity to the United States in its determination,

Germany, therefore, is very keenly disappointed and grieved by the terms of Wilson's message, but the govern ment cannot alter or modify the course upon which it has determined. This official added:
 We can only hope and trust that American ships and American citizens will avoid the danger zones laid down in the German memorandum.
 German Press Opinions.
 BERLIN, Feb. 5.-T The Taglische Rundsclau says: Wilson is deter mined under all circumstances to pre- serve England's strong sea power, perhaps because he wants to win En- gland as an ally against Japan, which has begun to set in motion 100000 900 Chinese"
 The Die Frost said: Americas active participation in the war will hardly change the situation. Joining the country in hostilities will hardly bring greater help to the Entente AL lies than already given by munitions and loans."

Two Attempts.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Prior to the receipt of the dispatch from Washing ton that a bomb had been found un- der the steps of Malone's home, re- port was current here that bomb had been found in the custom house in Malone's office on Saturday.
 This report and all knowledge of any attempt on Malone's life were emphatically denied by Deputy Col lector Stewart, speaking for Malone. He said a statement would be given out later A report was current that the incident reported to Malone oc- cured today and that he snuffed the fuse of the bomb with his fingers af- ter finding it on the steps of his home. The bomb reported to have been planted in the custom house on Sat urday was said to have been discov- cred in the room immediately under Malone's private office, in which he was at work.
 It was said employees discovered il and extinguished the fuse.
 
 sior, lay one fine, large, upstanding ten-gallon keg of whiskey.
 It turned out later that Barent had accosted a number of motor parties Sunday at Jerome Junction, asking them to bring his suitcase into the city. It happened that several per fectly proper parties of Sunday pie nickers declined the offer, and for tunately, too, for the suitcase was heavily charged.
 The preliminary hearing of Barent will probably be held before Justice of the Peace McLane this morning. He was released on October 4th after hay ing served eight months and paid a fine of $500 for bootlegging.

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-Congress began today to earnestly pave the way for legislation which may be demand ed by any development of an interna- tional crisis. Still hopeful that the break with Germany will not involve the United States in war, the leaders of both parties, however, recognized that preparations should not be delay ed. There was unusual activity by the naval, military and revenue commit tees while the judiciary committee of the senate worked all day on a series of measures relating to conspiracies against the government. The senate, as a coordinate branch of the govern ment having to do with foreign rela- tions, prepared to give official sane ton to the severance of relations with Germany. A measure prescribing heavy punishments fC. ,-r---age, was framed by the department of justice, and introduced in the senate by re- quest of Secretary Baker.

TREATY PROVES A DIFFICULT
 PROBLEM
OLD PACT PROVIDES FOR MIN E M O N T H s BEING GIVEN FOR DEPARTURE OF NATIONALS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-The stat us of the Prussian-American treaty of 1928 is one of the first things Presi- dent Wilson will have to decide as a result of breaking off Of relations with Germany.
 Originally negotiated in l79o, all its terms were included in the later treaty of 1928, when it expired by limitation.
 Examination of the terms of the all most forgotten convention shows that it contains provisions which, if per mitted to stand, might prevent the United States from confscating Ger man war bound ships in American waters in case of war. It also con tains provisions for the departure of nationals.
 How the United States would re- gard a proposal for a special re-ratifi- cation of the treaty is not clear at this time The impression prevails in some quarters that it might be more desirable to renounce the treaty than give it new force.
 Germany Would Reratify.
 BERLIN, Feb. 5.-The Associated Press learns authoritatively that Ger many will propose to Ambassador Gerard a special re-ratification of the Prussian-American treaties of l79o and 1928, allowing nationals, in case of war, nine months in which to settle their affairs and leave hostile coun- tries. This step positively would in sure Americans in Germany and Ger mans in America against internment if hostilities break out and would pre- vent a precipitate exodus from either country such as was general in Flu rope when the war broke out.
