trolling interest to the defendants
Justice Stafford issued rule against
the defendants to show cause why
the injunction should not be granted.
Mr.. Heffernan charges that the de-
PENDANTS have failed to furnish the
funds which he understood they were
to furnish for the proper financing of
the company. He asserts that the de-
PENDANTS did not enter into the agree
nent In good faith as a business prop

had they been known to plaintiff at

entering into the contract.
The purchase OF an interest in the
paper by the defendants was discussed
in the Senate during the probe Into
campaign expenses. where the sugges-
ton was made that the publication
might be used for democratic propa-
ganda among the veterans Of the world

SENATE TO BE CAREFUL
IN IMMIGRATION ACTION

al that immigration into the United
States be halted for limited period.
Those who feel that it may be neces-
sary to take some steps to check i'm.
migration under existing circum.
stances are inclined to oppose any
measure that would have the effect Of
shutting Off immigration entirely
Senator Colt of Rhode Island. chair
man of the immigration committee,
who has given the subject close study
for years. is authority for the state
ment that the Senate will want to
look thoroughly into the immigration
question before acting. He believes
that reports Of floods" of immigrants
should be carefully scrutinized before
being taken on their face value.
Senator Sterling, member of the
immigration committee also, who re.
Gently made a personal inspection OF
the immigration station at Ellis Is.
land, yesterday introduced his bill
for an immigration board. His bill
proposes to limit immigration during
any one year to 10 per cent of the
number OF those aliens Of any ethnit
group now residing in the United
States. The measure also would ere.
