2-Year Immigrant
Ban Sought in Bill

WASHINGTON, Aug 2O-A drastic
bill prohibiting immigration into the
United States for two years, extending
the present passport system and re
curing immigrants desiring to become
residents of this country to take
prompt steps to do so, under penalty of
deportation, was introduced in the
House to-day as committee bill by
representative Johnson, of Washing
ton, chairman of the House Committee
on immigration and Naturalization.
The bill further provides for the de
portation of all aliens who withdrew
their first papers" to escape the draft
in the recent war Such deported per
sons and aliens who left the United
States to escape military service are
forever excluded from the United
States.
A provision limiting to six months
the stay of certain exempted classes is
expected by the committee to end the
seepage of Japanese into this country
and TO cause literal fulflment of the
so-called American-Japanese "gentle-
mems agreement" Under this agree
cations to send no coolie labor to this
country but it has been asserted that
many Japanese arrive with passports
as merchants, students and the like,
and, once here, they remain, send for
picture brides and rear families. the
children being citizens of the United
States by right of birth. This provi-
sion is expected to meet with the ap-
proval of Senator Phelan and others
opposed to further Japanese immigra-
ton.
Citizens of contiguous territory like
Canada and Mexico would be allowed
TO visit the United States by holding
cards issued annually.
The bill lays down strict regulations
to make certain that aliens intending
to become citizens do so, even to the
extent of prescribing that they imme-
dlately learn the English language.
They would first be required to state
in writing their desire to become
American citizens and agree to regis
ter at least once a year with county
clerks or immigration officials. failure
to do which would mean deportation
The provision of the bill suspending
immigration for two years excepts
travellers, ministers, religious teach
ers. missionaries, lawyers, physicians
artists, chemists and other profession
al men and women, but they will not
be allowed to remain in this country
for longer than six months.

Acid Is u seGl
BY Bandits i'm
$4,000 Theft
Burning Fluid Poured in
A1outI. Of Driver of Ex-
press Truck; Thieves
Disappear With Plumber

An American Railway Express truck,
laden with valuable packages worth.
II IS believed. more than $4,000, was
stolen last night at the corner of
Watts and Greenwich Streets. The
first information the police received
OF the theft WAS when Patromat,
Thomas Smith found the driver.
Maurice Griffin, of q Commerce
Street, lying in the gutter at Forty
seventh Street and Tenth Avenue.
The man was in stupor. His
head had been badly bruised and there
were acid burns about his mouth His
dazed condition and his scared mouth
made it difficult for him to speak. He
made Smith understand that he was
the driver of the truck, horse drawn
affair. and at Watts and Greenwich
Streets had been attacked by four
men.
Acid Poured in Mouth
These, as far as Smith could gathe r
from the mans thickened and wander
ing speech, had dragged him from the
truck, black lacked him and thrown
him into waiting touring car. On
the way uptown they had poured acid
into his mouth and deserted him in
the gutter, whore the policeman found
him.
When an ambulance from Bellevue
arrived DR.. Patterson, woman physi-
clan, examined Griffin and said he had a
possible fracture of the skull and acid
burns outside and inside his mouth
She was unable to determine. however
just what he had been forced to drink
Griffin was taken to the hospital. where
1t is said that his condition is critical
Fail to Find Truck
Investigators of the express company
They were unable to find any trace
of the truck and did not know, they
said, the exact nature of the load it
carried. 1t was probably, they believed
laden either with registered packages
or furs and the value of its cargo
would amount to $4,000 or more.
Early this morning Harry McEwan
twenty-six years old, of 1906 Third Ave
nue., helper on the truck walked into
the Beach Street police station. De-
tective Lahey said he declared a man
had leaped aboard the truck at Green
wich and Watt Streets and turned on
an electric flashlight that blinded him
and caused him to leap from the vehicle
Later, the detectives asserts, the helper
said the driver was thrown from the
wagon by one of a number of holdup
men, who drove the truck to East Sixty
seventh Street and Central Park East
where they hurled him over the park
wall.

with success in the open sea. and the

But the people are not disposed to ae-
cept without change or without critical
study the covenant which Mr.. Wilson
brought home from Paris. They desire
that in doing their duty by the rest OF
the world, they shall not unnecessarily
risk or sacrifice the interests Of this
country. In this matter they do not
blindly accept the Judgment of the pres
ident, but they attach equal weight to
that of the senate as the coordinate
theaty- making power.
In order to carry out the popular will
and to speed ratification, of the German
treaty, the president would do well to
heed this state of public opinion. His
demand for ratification without reserya-
tions does not accord with pubic opin-
ion as reflected in the canvass, and
promises to be the real cause of delay.
He is in grave danger of being hold up
before the people as the real obstacle to
conclusion of peace.
