House Committee Agrees Upon
Bill to Prohibit Immigra-
ton from Europe for
Four Years.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Prohibi-
ton of immigration for four years
after the war, except from Cuba,
Mexico, Canada and Newfoundland,
was agreed upon unanimously to-
day by the house immigration COM
mittee.
Chairman Burnett announced that
he would ask for a special rule to
permit early consideration of the
measure by the house.
IF the bill is not passed by the
present congress, its purpose will be
partially defeated" Mr.. Burns tt
said. 1t is intended to prevent a
great flood of immigrants coming
here as soon as peace is signed and
driving our own people out of work,
and also to keep out the bolsheviki.
Delay in passing the bill will be
harmful to the best interests of the
country"
Considerable discussion arose in
the committee in regard to whether
the bill should be effective for two
or four years, but the longer period
was decided upon by a vote of seven
to two. A number of amendments
accepted permit the admission of
relatives of aliens already in this
country and of persons skilled in
certain occupations and professions,

Affidavit DisCIOSes
Soldier Vote IGNORED
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln. Jan. pa vote by mail
cast by c. c. Frazier, former chief
yeoman in the navy stationed at Chi
cago, for a straight republican ticket
is presumed never to have been
counted by election commissioners
in an affidavit now in the hands OF
Governor McKelvie, who made pub
lie a copy of the affidavit Tuesday.
The reason Frazier believes bis
vote was not counted was that he
wrote in the name of Frank Edger-
ton, republican candidate for county
attorney of Hamilton county, and on
the official records of the soldier
vote from that county not scratch
was credited to Edgerton.
The affidavit, although not touch
ing directly on the state senatorial
vote in Omaha, is presumed TO have
a bearing on the Broatch-Tanner
election contest before the senate
committee on privileges and e'ec-
tons. growing out of the election
of John NJ. Tanner, democrat, by
six soldier votes over ]. w. Broatch,
republican.
The committee, of which Sepator

man, met Tuesday afternoon to ar

considered passing the house bill to

Of the ratification measure passed

Neal, Sears and Chappell opposed
the committees action, claiming
that the senate would be burning all
of its bridges, should an effort be
made to attack the legality of the or
iginal ratification measure which was
introduced in the senate, and which
passed both branches of the legis-
iature.
The committee majority took the
view that the ratification bill as or

HOUSE FAVORS
FIVE MILLION
DOLLAR CAPITOL

Continued From rage One'l
lost by a vote of 70 against and 10
for.
The first amendment to the bill,
providing that no member of the
legislature should be eligible to
membership of the capitol commits
sion was adopted without dissent
ing vote. 49,
Amendment Debated.
Schmidt's amendment that the
members of the commission should
be paid a reasonable salary and be
placed under bond was debated. 1t
was contended by those opposed to
his amendment that there was moth
ing to bond the members for as they
did not have any fund in charge or
were not expending any money.
They were allowed expenses by the
provisions of the bill and the honor
of serving on the committee should
be sufficient compensation.
Fults, speaking in opposition to
Schmidt's amendment said: I'VE are
giving no more consideration to this
important measure than we would
to the building of $l00 hog barn.
1t would be hard to determine af-
ter the creation of a commission
what would be a reasonable salary
and the passage of the law to make
it felony for two or more per-
sons to conspire to defraud the
state would be sufficient guaranty
bond under the circumstances. /
Tracewell appealed to the house
not to kill the bill by a lot of cheap
amendments and said that all mem
bers who would be selected to serve
on the commission would be of a
character that would serve the state
in the matter with the utmost hon
esty. The amendment lost.
Rodman Amendment Carried.
Rodman movedsto amend the bill
to read that a sum not to exceed
$5,000,000 be expended in the con
struction of the proposed capitol
building and this was adopted.
Representative Fries, Howard
county, tried to have the bill amend
ed so as to have referendum vote
of the people at special election
authorize the expenditure of funds
for the proposed new building, but
was voted down.
The bill as amended so as to
provide that the commission enter
into no contract for the erection of
the capitol until a year after the
passage of the law has elapsed, and
the levying of special tax of ~
mills per annum for a period of S
years, passed the committee of the
whole and will be engrossed for
third reading.
Fries was the only representative
who voted against the later amend
ments to the bill.
