PRESIDENT AGAIN VET0ES ANTI-AUEN
 IMMIGRATION BILL
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-President Wilson today vetoed the immigration bill passed recently by congress be- cause of the literacy test provision. It was the second time that Presi- dent Wilson had vetoed the immigra ton bill for the same reason. The President in his message to congress said he considered the provisions cen trary to the policy of the nation. He said the literacy test was not the proper bar to undesirable aliens. but would, in many instances. keep good citizens out of this country.
 When the message was read in the House it was ordered to lie on the table until Thursday morning and the champions of the bill began laying their plans for an effort to override the veto. Chairman Burnett an nounced tonight that he would move for a veto vote.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29.-General discussion of President Wilson's world peace address is expected in the Sen ate tomorrow. Senator Cummins hay ing given notice of his intention to call up then his resolution to set aside special time for debate on the measure.
 Administration leaders are planning @ renew a motion originally made by Senator Stone Co refer the resolution to the foreign relations committee but debate on the motions themselves may take wide range. including consider ation of Senator Borah's resolution which would have the Senate reaffirm the Monroe Doctrine and the Wash. ington and Jefferson pronuncimientos against foreign entanglements.
 Democratic senators insist that this is not the time for prolonged discus sion in view of the press of legisla- tion, and as an alternative probSsal for quick discussion of the subject, they have under advisement a resolu. ton which would accept it in the sense that the address of the Presi- dent does not propose abandonment or limitation of the American Monroe Doctrine. nor involve an alteration in foreign policies which would send armed forces of the United States into foreign territory for any purpose ex. cept to preserve the peace of this country or protect American rights. Senators Hitchcock and Williams. Democratic members of the foreign relations committee. will look after the interests of the administration to- morrow in the absence of Senator Stone. Senator Cummins proposes to address the Senate at some length before urging adoption Of his resolu- ton.

 FL PASO. Jan. 29.-Like the his toric hegira of the Children of Israel out of Egypt, more than 1900 refugees are following in the wake Of the American expeditionary forces on their march out of Mexico. An Amer ican cattleman who came to the bor- der at Columbus, N NJ, today said the refugees were strung out along the communication trail for more than five miles behind the main column of General Pershing's troops. and were enveloped in great cloud of dust
 Mormons were riding in automo- piles, covered wagons of the prairie schooner type. in farm wagons and on horses and mules. according to the cattlemen. They were driving their milk COWS ahead of them while be- hind tramped hundreds of poor na- tives, Chinese and others who had no means of transportation on the long trek to the border Nothing that could be brought out was left behind, it was said, and many Of the settlers in the beautiful valley of the Casas Grandes river carried all of their worldly possessions with them.

there. This is approximately forty miles from Cofonia Dublan and is con- sidered the easiest part of the journey out. From Ojo Federico to Tres Pape- lotes, (Three Windmills), is consider ed the worst part of the trek to the border. There is no water in this stretch of twenty miles and the coun- try is a desert with sand. grass and cactus. Many of the refugees who are hiking" on foot are expected to sui fer on this part of the trip out.
 National guard encampments here which have been abandoned since the guard troops went home will be used to house the refugees who arrive here until they can find homes. A large number of vacant tent houses and mess shacks at the camp of the Penn sylvania troops have been offered the Mormon leaders here and will probab- ly be accepted for the refugees.
 Expected Out Monday.
 General Pershing's column is ex- pected to reach Laguna de Palomas by Friday and hold a general review there Sunday. after the rear guard cavalry arrives from Colonia Dublan. The entire expedition will then marcn into Columbus from Palomas, dis tance of seven miles. It is expected that this last march will take place Monday.

 II disorders follow and if there is reported any danger tO foreigners. a warship will be sent to Costa Rican waters.
 Great surprise was caused at the state department by the revolt as for nearly 40 years Costa Rica has been without a revolution and considered as model Latin American govern ment. Gonzalez entered the presi- dency in 1914 as the choice of the chamber of deputies, the presidential election that year having failed to re- suit in a definite choice. During his administration the relations of the United States and Costa Rica have been somewhat embarrassing particu- larly because of the controversy that rose over the question of the right of Nicaragua to enter into a treaty with the United States ceding rights for the building of an interocesn canal without having consulted Costa Rica- Costa Rica. through the legation here has been appealing to the Central American court of justice which held that Nicaragua was at fault in having entered into the treaty without the consent of Costa RiCs.

PHOENIX, Jan. Ex-Governor Campbell this afternoon read his message before the legislature in joint session. The galleries were crowded and when the reading was ended, Democrats and Re publicans joined in applause. The message was brief. It recommend ed the establishment of budget system; that the school law be amended 50 as to provide greater centraliZation of authority; that election laws be made more comprehensive and explicit: that a higher maximum state indebt- edness limitation be placed under the control of the state auditor; forbidding depotism. Labor legis- lation, calculated to bring about better understanding between em- ployer and employe, is recom- mended. The discharge of un- necessary or incompetent clerks in all offices is advised.
 FIRES NO ONE.
 The governor took office this morning without ceremony. He signed receipt presented by Le- roy ladd, former Governor Hunts private secretary, for the para phernalia of the office. He made a proclamation that pending the outcome of the gubernatoriaI con- test, none of Governor Hunts ap- pointments would be disturbed.
