 PRESIDENTS VETO
BILL IS PAssEI,
By a Vote of 286 to 1O6 the Lower Branch of Congress Passes Measure Over VetO-Senate Action Expect. ed This Afternoon.

SEATTLE, Feb. 2.-The House this morning took up the Immigra- tion bYfi. at the request Of labor lead CTS. which was returned from the President with his veto. After a short discussion the measure was passed over the veto of the President by a vote of 286 to 106. The measure was immediately transmitted to- the Senate, which it is expected it will be acted upon by that body this after noon. The general impression pre- vails that the Senate will also pass the measure, as the pressure upon that body by the Union is strong.
 The bill provides that no immi- grant shall enter the United States who cannot read and write in the lan- guage of the country from which they come. The chief objection to the bill by the last three presidents is that it barred the agricultural classes with out any education, and admitted the criminal classes, from the cities. who can all read and write.

Believe Allies Not United.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. D. Officials here are not convinced that the Entente Allies are fully united on the note rejecting in its entirety the German peace proposal. which lead to Germany's declaration of ruthless warfare both on land and sea. and ex- press the belief that the action by Germany may presage something startling in European politics. The air of confidence at the German em- bassy in this city strengthens this be- lief. It is known that Germany has been dealing with one of the Entcrte powers toward negotiating separate peace, but with what results Is of course unknown. It Is thought per haps these negotiations have progress ed to a point where Germany is con fident of greatly lessening the armed force against her, which will release a huge German army for operations directly against France and England.

Assessment Work Compulsory.

Assessment Work Compulsory.
 There is quite an argument going the rounds upon whether or not the recording of assessment work is real ly compulsory. Under the Alaska law the failure to record assessment work is considered equivalent to an aban- donmeht of the ground. Come now the legal sharks who declare that this clause in the Alaska mining law con- travenes the letter of the United States statutes, and is therefor inval- i'd and not binding. This is a dan gerous view for any claim holder to follow, pending a court decision. IL has to be pointed out that other states contain clauses compelling the recording of assessment work in th:ir mining laws; Colorado for example or California. Any person failing to record assessment work on mere hear say argument would be jeopardizi'g their holdings needlessly, to say the least, especially if those are any act ual worth. It is noticeable that all the larger concerns are takiIs no chances, and are duly recording the performance of their assessment work.-Industrial Worker.

MANY DEAD, KILLED BY
 PAPERS COME TO LIFE

Seven dead" men-victims of the unsuitable blood lust of certain New York newspapers-arrived in Fl Paso from Mexico recently. Some of them had been killed by Villa, some by Carranza. some of them only once, some of them three or four times. The American editors had resorted to every conceivable cruelty in killing them. Some they starved to death, some shot as they stood back to the wallc and some they had tortured to death. The truth about Northern Mexico has been bad enough and sad enough without this findiscr'ninate slaughter by the newspapers.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb D. At noon today the capital is as much in the dark as to what course will be pursued by the Administration as ever. Very few, if any. officials out side of the President and members of the cabinet have been made acquaint- ed with the proposed action in refer ence to the German note regarding unrestricted submarine warfare, and these absolutely refuse to divulge even the slightest hint as to the course this government wilf pursue The capital is rife with rumoc and conjecture, but nothing of an official character has been given out.
 In both houses of Congress the greatest uneasiness is manifested, and the German note is the chief topic of conversation. It Is generally ad- mitted by members of both houses that a special session of Congress is unavoidable.
 In the Senate many of the mem- bers express the belief that President Wilson unwittingly gave Germany a fine background for her declaration by his speech before the Senate re- gently on the foreign relations of the country.
