IMMIGRATION BILL
TO Be PASSED SOON
coNFEREEs ACCEPT MEASURE
AS 1T PASSED SENATE, WITH.
OUT EXCLUSION OF JAPs.
PRESIDENT EXPECTED TO VETO
Plan Is to Vote Proposal In Desuite
Presidents Objections on Liter
acy Test-Leaders Think
Votes Enough to Pass.

Washington.-Senate and house con
ferees on the immigration bill vir
tually agreed, after conference with
Secretary Lansing, to accept the
measure in the form that it passed
the senate without mention of Jap.
anese among persons to be exclud.
ed. That would leave the present gen
tlemen's agreement regarding the en-.
trance of Japanese laborers into the
United States unchanged.
Differences on Wording.
The secretary was asked to make
clear to the conferees particularly the
views of the Japanese and italian
governments. He Is understood to
have explained that the Italian gov
eminent believes some provisions re-
garding inspection on immigrant ships
are in contravention of treaty, ard
that the Japanese embassy feels that
some of the phraseology relating to
oriental exclusion is not 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,
that the bill as perfected would en-
tirely satisfy both governments.
The bill probably will be reported
this week and prompt action is ex-
pected in both houses. Confident that
President Wilson will veto it on &C
count of the literacy test provisions,
sponsors of that section are making
every effort to pledge enough votes
to the final draft to pass it over a
veto. Representative Burnett chair
man of the house immigration COM
mittee, believes this can be accom-
plished.
Geographical Lines.
Chief differences between the house
and senate bills affecting the jap
anese would be, in effect, If the pres
ent gentlemen's agreement were to be
abrogated.
The house will would exclude all
persons who could not become nat
uralized citizens, except those pro-
tected by treaties or agreements. The
senate measure would designate by
geographical lines what persons not
to enter the country, and the lines
would not affect Japanese, but would
exclude certain Hindus, Malays and
others. II by any chance the gen
tlemen's agreement were abrogated
anese under the senate plan, but I'M
der similar circumstances they would
automatically be barred under the
house measure.

WILL EXPERIMENT
IN ROAD BUILDING
HIGHWAY COMMISSIONS AIM is
TO FIND BEST MATERIAL
AND METHODS.

ment in Concrete Will
Also Be Used.

Madison-To find the best roadhuild-
ing materials and the best methods of
road maintenance for the 5000 miles
of state trunk line highways which it
will assume charge of next year, the
Wisconsin state highway commission
has decided to conduct some unusual
experiments in roadbuilding and road
maintenance this season.
The most novel of these will be the
placing of a carpet of old straw, hay or
grass on the sand roads near Rio, Co
lumbia county and bind and preserve
the carpet with road oil and asphalt
um. Another experiment, which will
be carried on in Milwaukee county,
will be the use of metal reinforcement
in concrete roads, the purpose being
to prevent concrete from cracking and
to reduce the cost of material by us
ing less cement, which has doubled
in price during the three years past
Still another experiment will be in
the construction and maintenance of
macadam roads between Baraboo and
Kilbourn, different sizes of stone and
different binders being used on SINH
lar distances of the road.

EXPECT TO ENTRAlN SOON
No Formal Announcement Made, But
Indications Point to Early De-
parture Of State Troops.

Camp Douglas - There is stir in
Camp Douglas which indicates early
departure for Waco, Tex, of several
units of the Wisconsin National guard,
most of which has been mustered into
the federal service.
No formal announcement has been
made as to when troops will leave and
no passenger coaches pulled on the
sidetrack indicate immediate depart
ure, but companies which are not up
to war strength are being filed from
the ranks of unassigned men, and
there is general feeling that the or
der from General Thomas H. Barry to
leave for the southern cantonment is
not far off.
The first units, as previously indi-
Gated, will be made up of camp build
ers, with the different branches of the
service represented. The main body of
the guard is likely to follow soon after
the camp builders leave. Whether all
the men will be equipped here or
whether part of the equipment will be
shipped to Waco has not been an
nounced 1t is believed, however, that
the soldiers leaving here will be in
khaki and carry rifles, and that the
remainder of the equipment will be
provided in the southern camp.

VALUE GARDENS AT $4,000
Racine Vacant Lots Now Producing
Valuable Crops - Plans Being
Made for Next Season.

Racine $500 Vacant lots which previ-
ously bore only an annual plentiful
crop of weeds. tin cans, broken bot
ties and old bedsprings, now produce
crops which, if sold at present
prices, would average $35 per garden
and many would run as high as $40
and $45 The paintings vary from
corn to radishes, some having six or
seven varieties, all in a fine state OF
production.
The approximate total valuation of
the gardens under the supervision of
the park board is estimated from $1O,-
900 to $4,000 This does not include
the gardens donated by factories for
the use of employees or the countless
private gardens.
This fall the gardens will be plowed
for the following spring and many of
the disadvantages encountered this
year will thus be avoided. Standing
water, which rose to height of sew
eral feet on large sections of the gar
dens, and did not recede for several
weeks, retarded the planting of the
low lands
All things considered. this venture
has proved highly successful and va
cant lots hereafter should continue to
be productive of foodstuffs.

RULES TO NEW ARMY
DRAFTED MEN ARE TOLD HOW
TO REPORT FOR DUTY.
Recruits for National Army Will Be
Summoned to the Colors
September I.

Washington, Aug 11.-Local ex-
emption boards will be in full charge
of assembling the men called to the
colors September |. They will give the
new fighting force its actual induction
into military life, provide the men with
meals, shelter and transportation, and
escort them personally to the train for
the mobilization camps.
Explicit regulations under which
the first segment of the national army
will be modified were issued by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder at
Washington.
The details of the program for mobil-
izing the first 100000 men called to the
colors September l and forwarded to
their camps before September are as
follows:
The actual call will go from the
provost marshal general to the state
adiutant general, stating the number
of men to be supplied. Each local
board will be at once informed of how
many men it must furnish and tie ad-
jutant general will fix the day for en-
training the men.
The local board ut once will make
out the list of men to fill the call from
the roll of accepted men, and will fix
the place of entrainment and time of
departure.
Orders to the men will be posted
and also sent by mail. The men will
be directed to report to the local board
not less than - hours before the time
of departure for camp.
Before the men arrive at board
headquarters the board members must
arrange for their accommodation.
At board headquarters at the hour
fixed for reporting the men will be
drawn up, the roll called and agents
will take them personally to their quar-
tiers, remaining with them until every
arrangement for their comfort has
been made. Emphatic notice is given
that the quality of food shall be good.
For each district five alternates will
be summoned. They will be held ut
the assembling point until train time
to fill in vacancies should any men of
the levy fail to report

GUY D. G0FF is NAMED MAJOR
Special United States District Attor-
ney for Wisconsin Assigned for
Immediate Duty.

Milwaukee-Gu d. Golf, of Milwau-
kee, special United States district at
torney for Wisconsin, has been APP
pointed major in the judge advocate
generals department of the United
States army and assigned to duty in
the office of the judge advocate gen.
eral in Washington
The announcement of the appoint
ment of Mr.. Goff came as complete
surprise to him in the shape of tele-
gram from Adjt. Gen. Mccain of the
regular army. The telegram ordered
Mr.. Golf to report to Washington at
once for duty He will leave as soon
as possible.
At the beginning of the war, Mr.,
Golf rendered his services to the gov
eminent in any form it might desire,
and his first appointment was as spe-
cial district attorney for Wisconsin to
assist in trial of cases arising out of
war questions His appointment to
the army will, of course, cause his
resignation as special district attorney.
Mai. Golf is a well known attorney
and is son of Judge Golf of West
Virginia, who is an attorney on the
federal bench Maj Golf has been vi
tally interested in the war ever since
its beginning and has been connected
with patriotic organizations in Wis
consin which have been organized to
aid in the war situation.
Maj. Golf has been a figure political
ly in the state and has been mentioned
as a possible candidate for the Repub-
licans who have been looking for a
candidate to run on patriotic plat
form. His new appointment probably
removes him from the range of Wis
consin political possibilities.
Major Golf is about fifty years of
age and was in one campaign the Re
publican candidate for mayor of Mil
waukee. He will serve under Provost
Marshal Crowder in Washington.

forty years. 1t was in use at the time
of the Jowalkl expedition in 1877. All

the Afghanistan war of lS7S-lSS0 wore
khaki. Even the shoes were tan-col-
