THE CASE OF HI JOHNSON

Hiram Johnson lets it he understood
that he will abide by the result Of the
Chicago convention. provided that he is
not cheated: also be II understood that
Hi proposes to decide for himself
whether or not he has been Cheated"
Hi will not accept the finding Of any
committee. nor viii ne leave his case.
il nc has one, to the adjudication Of any
board OF arbitration. and herein lies ono
Of the problems OF the Republican COW
v"ntion. Hiram probably don't corget
that he first became a national figure by
boiling a Republican convention. lie
probably don't forget that he won his
present place in the L. 8. Senate 10y
knitting the Republican nominee FOR
President. and dealing with the Demo
cratic machine in California. He has
plenty OF presidents for boiling: in fact
boiling may be said TO hc his national
performance. and the threat OF tho John
son bolt Is one serious thing that tn"
Chicago convention will have 10 face.
The 1ntelligencer don't believe that
anybody intends to rob or TO cheat
Hiram. But failure 10 get the nomina-
ton in 4::'ram's mind. is likely 10 be
the best evidence. that he has brnn
robbed and cheated.

SEEKS BAN ON
IMMIGRATION
Bureau to Ask Suspension for
Year, Save in Cases Of Com
pelling Necessity

The Bureau Of immigration will
recommend to Congress that all i'm
migration, except of persons who
come of compelling necessity" be
suspended for a period of at least
year, it was learned today.
Chairman Albert johnson, of the
House Committee on Immigration.
said that if a bill is not passed
by Congress before March it will
be necessary to suspend immigration
until formal action can be taken by
the bureau.
REASONS ARE FOUR-FOLD.
The reasons advanced for such
radical action are the evergrowing
wave of eXtremism. increasing un-
employment in the United States. the
menace Of the housing shortage, and
the danger of lowering the American
standard of living which inheres in
the present practically unrestricted
immigration of European peoples,
especially from the countries of
southern Europe.
compelling necessity as uter-
preted by the Bureau Of Immigration.
means cases in which the wife or
some other dependents of persons
wishing to immigrate to the United
States. are suffering for lack OF the
necessities Of life, which can only be
supplied by the immigrant in Ameri-
can surroundings.
4. :. MADE DUMPING GROUND.
Unless the present rush Of imm-
grafton is checked there is every in
dicatiOn that the fiscal year 1927 will
record a total immigration more than
twice as great as in any year hereto
fore. and is regarded as a reflection
verify in Europe.
Both members of Congress and inn
migration officials assert that action
must be taken Immediately to pre-
vent America from becoming the
dumping ground Of the most unde-
sirable elements of Europe. European
countries. they assert. have proved
totally unable or unwilling to limit
immigration to desirable persons. and
that there is good reason to suspect
that European governments are con
most undesirable elements to America.
Official emigration figures show that
within the past twelve months 600, 900
persons have left Italy for various
foreign countries At least one-third
have come to the United States. 1t is

OLD BAT HISTORICAL RELIC
OF Baseball Game Played over
Halt a Century Ago.

A note In a current American news
paper has peculiar interest for all
those American citizens who are In
terested in the national game. Bow
dom college has come into possession
of the baseball bat, long In the keep
ing Of the. Maine Historical society.
which was used more than fifty years
ago in the first game ever played be-
tween that college and an outside
team. The old bat. made of spruce.
on the very day of the game, Is about
the size OF the bats still in use, and,
If the college had won the game.
would doubtless have remained ever
since In a collegiate atmosphere. But
the Sunrise team, made up Of boys
from the town Of Brunswick, defeated
the collcgians, in that day OF long
scores, to the tune Of 46 to AZ, and the
bat, inscribed with the names of all
the players, went to the winners. Lat
err they gave 1t to the historical so
ciety, which now presents 1t to the
college. But in 1860 no one Of the
players could have foreseen a time
when what Is said to be the oldest
baseball bat In the country would be
an object Of national interest.-Chris-
