NEGROES HAVE OBJECTIONS
Rollers Object to the Addition to Their #' Ritual

Texarkana, Dec. 14.-Frank Moss, a worldly minded" negro, about 20 years old, is in jail on the Teras side on a charge of disturbing religious worship. He will have trial tomor- row.

It is claimed that every ef- fort made to start the services ended alike-in fit of sneezing. When the pastor tried to pray he sneezed, and when the choir tried to sing it resulted in wholesale sneezing.
 The negro lads aunt Ella Jackson also was arrested, charged with put ting him up" to the commission of the deed. Her home is near the church and she is said to strongly object the noise made by the Holiness wor. shippers.

FIVE CHAUFFEURS HELD
Are Accused of Impersonating Off,
 cers at Hot Springs.

Hot Springs, Dec. 15.-United States Commissioner Tom Martin today held Sonny Adair, Leonard Rutledge Slats Wilcox, Clifton Arnold and Willard Childs, all local chauffeurs, in $1,000 bail for the federal grand jury, charg- ed with impersonating federal officers.
 A few nights ago the young men are said to have visited the home of To- cal negro family, pulled them from their beds and searched the house for liquor. When asked to show their au- thority they are alleged to have fash ed their chauffeur badges which of- ficers say, they told the negroes were federal officers badges.
 The defendants were first arrested for disturbing the peace and fined in Municipal Court. When United States Commissioner Martin learned of the affair he ordered warrants issued for them and had them brought before him.
 Adair is under indictment on charge of assault with intent to kill. Dur ing the football season he is alleged to have stabbed local high school player in the back with knife. It would not be surprising officials said, if each of the chauffeurs did not have his license revoked by the city Commissioners.

THE IMMIGRATION BILL
 IS SENT TO SENATE
House Passes Measure With One.Year Ban on European
 Aliens.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The House today sent to the Senate the John son bill prohibiting practically all im- migration to the United States for one year. The vote, 293 to Al, brought to an end more than three days of heated debate. It also followed further attempts by the bills supporters to ]engthen the prohibition period to two years, as originally proposed. The first of these attempts brought a ris- ing vote in favor of the two-year ex- clusion, but a second call showed 1S1 in favor of the one-year period and only 165 opposed.
 In the Senate the bill will be re- ferred to the Immigration Committee and action will be deferred until the government has ended hearings ant investigated thoroughly all phases O the immigration and naturalization question. Several measures bearing or these SuDJectS are pending in the Sen ate, and it is regarded as likely they will be incorporated in the Johnson bill when it is finally reported to the Senate for consideration. The atti. tude of Senate leaders today was that no hasty action should be taken by that body in dealing with immigration issues.
