in Senate in which the old Senate "oll-
garchy," including Lodge and Penrose,
Will play u less important part than for
merly, are under way among Senators

ding, it was learned from a reliable

posed upon each Of the Haags, together

says, he will not wait until the expira-
ton Of President wilson's Administra-
ton. The President is the only person
with power to remit the fine There has
been some gossip to the effect that the
Haags have been unable TO make any
Impression on President Wilson and are
anxious to have the matter of payment
OF the fines go over until President-eIect
Harding takes Office, in the hone that
they will have better luck with him.

Senators Report Scheme for
Limitation on Percentage
Basis.
REJECT JOHNSON BILL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Emer-
gency legislation restricting immigra-
ton into the United States for a
period of fifteen months, beginning
April l, 1921, was recommended to-
day by the Senate immigration
Committee when it reported favora-
bly, on the Dillingham; bill.
The number of immigrants admit
ted in any fiscal year would be re-
stricted to 5 per cent of the number
of foreign-born residents of each ma
tionality, as determined by the 1910
census.
The committee had rejected the John
son bill, suspending all immigration for
q year, which had passed the House.
Senator Colt Rhode Island, chairman
Of the committee. explained that the
Johnson bill. wholly excluding imm-
grants for a year, was turned down by
the committee because ii believed con
ditions did not warrant such drastic
measures.
The Dillingham; bill provides that the
number of aliens admitted to the United
States in any year be limited to per
cent Of the number OF persons OF sucn
nationality who are resident in this
country, on the basis OF the most recent
census.
Thus Italy, with the Italian population
In America totaling 1.343l25 In 1910,
could send only 67.156 emigrants a year
to the United States.
The question Of Oriental immigration
will be eliminated entirely from the new
legislation, the committee having deter
mined that immigration from the Aslatic
barred zone is an issue to be dealt with
separately.
Neither would the Diliinghain bill be

Smashes Egg Prices
to 80 Cents a Dozen

Following large reductions in the
wholesale prices of eggs yesterday the
Piggly Wiggiy groceries in this city
smashed the retail prices by throwing
the stocks at their various branches on
the market at 80 cents a dozen.
This re luction, amounting to from Is
to &c cents a dozen from prices previous
ly quoted In various groceries, was an
unprecedented drop and followed the fall
In wholesale prices so quickly as to make
it necessary for dealers holding high
price eggs to absorb a loss on their
stock.
Egg prices at both wholesale and re-
tail were considerably lowered through
out the country today and Chicago dis
patches announced reduction in cafe
prices owing to the drop. Mild weather
at a season Of good production is gem
orally credited with having been re-
sponsible for the lowering Of prices.

u. S. Labor Board Rejects
Executives Request for
AbrOgatiOn.

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-Rail employees
of the nation won a victory over
their employers today when the
United States labor board denied
the appeal of the Association of
Railway Executives to Immediately
abrogate national working agree
ments and refused to grant a request
to allow a. cut in wages of unskilled
railroad laborers.
The board, however, pointed out that
after the employees had completed presen-
tation Of their arguments in support of
continuing the national agreements it
would carefully consider the evidence of
both sides. and if it found that the
agreements contained anything unreasOn-
able it would take the necessary action.
at is obvious that the board cannot
assume without evidence of the business
and reasonableness OF the agreements,
rules aud working conditions In effect on
each railroad as Of Dec. 81, 1917, that
such agreements, rules and working con-
ditions would constitute just and rea-

No Gentleman Says Jennings
of Thug Who Took Z. r. Pardon

NEW YORK, Feb. 1o.-"The modern
bandit is no gentleman" Al Jennings,
former outlaw, declared today.
Jennings based his assertion on his en-
counter with a holdup man here, who
robbed him Of his purse, containing SS4
and the treasured pardon granted him by
President Roosevelt.
As a result Of his experience, he said
he has decided modern New York is too
spend the rest Of his visit in his hotel,
adding, I'm not so sure Ill be safe even
then"
Asked to compare the technique Of the
present-day outlaw with the old-timer,
Jennings replied:
"There is no comparison. In the old
days a man might be an outlaw and still
be a gentleman. In my opinion the mod
ern bandit is no gentleman, Judging
from the sample I met up with the other
night.
"This fellow, who apparently was
foreigner Of middle age, treated me worse
than a dog. I told him who 1 was and
tried to kid him, thinking the situation
would appeal tC his sense Of humor or
at least his professional courtesy. His
only response was to jab me painfully
in the ribs with his gun and rip out
string Of curses.
I've been shot several times and, be-
Iieve me, right then l could smell gun
powder and see the morgue.
He got my purse. leaving me only
dime, but 1t wasn't that l minded. In
the purse was the pardon President
Roosevelt granted me. I tried to tell
him about it, but he wouldn't listen.
Now in the old days my outlaws and
7 would have talked things over like
business men. with the result | would
have retained the pardon and perhaps
fair share Of the money. We would have
parted the best of friends. And If | had
been fellow bandit he would have apoI-
ogized for troubling me--and bought the
drinks"
