 WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-A drastic measure against immigration during the next year was adopted by the sen- ate, which by 61 to passed the Dill hngham immigration restriction bill 1ter adding amendments to increase It's restrictive features. The bill, it is estimated, would limit immigrants during the next twelve months to slightly over 355.000. The bill was adopted as substitute for the John son bill passed by the house. The latter would bar for Scar all immi- grants except relatives or aliens now here. The bills go to conference for adjustment
 Advocates of the Dillingham; substi- tute declared that it would keep out more immigrants than the Johnson 10th bills would go into effect with ln two months, with the Dillingham; Treasure effective for Is and the John son bill for 14 months.
 It took the senate less than five hours to dispose of the immigration legislation. The two senators oppos- ing passage were France, Republican of Maryland and Reed, Democrat of Missouri.
 Before passing the substitute the senate defeated, 43 to 19, a motion
 
 Forty per cent less immigrants would be admitted under the Dillingham; bill than as reported by the senate immi- grafton committee. Thg was accom- plished by reducing the basis of .mmi- grafton from five to three per cent Of the number of aliens here according to the 1910 census. The amendment was offered by Senator Harrison, Democrat of Mississippi who led the 1eVyht to make the legislation more ~d'rastic.
 i.Jader another amendment wives and children of aliens who have ap- piled for citizenship will be given pref erence. Another amendment struck out a clause authorizing admissions when deemed justifiable as a measure of humanity"

 The three per cent standard of the bfll, according to committee estimates would permit the following number of immigrants during the next year atter the bill becomes a law:
 Belgium. 1,4s2: Denmark. 5.44s; France. 3.523: Germany, 75,040 Meth erlands. 3.697: Norway. 12,116; Swe- den, 1s,956; Switzerland, 3,745; United Kingdom, 77,206; or 202,212 from wes- tern Europe.

 Efforts to bar all immigration for a year or more were defeated, an amend ment by Senator Trammell, Democrat of Florida, to erect such barrier be- ing rejected without a record vote, as was an earlier amendment by Sena- tor Harrison to make the restrictive basis of the Dillingham; bill one in- stead of three per cent
 Temporary Stop Measure
 Advocates of the legislation de- clared that it was designed as a tenn porary stop gap until congress coulc enact reform legislation.
 Senator Dillingham; and Chairman Colt of the senate immigration com mittee said the bill was designed tt allay fears of a flood" of imm1gra' ton. In opposing the bill Senator Reed said it was marrow and Tn con flict with generous American policies
 House leaders who favor restriction of immigration predicted tonight tn' senate bill probably would recelV' house approval
 The senate bill provides that 1t shal mot be construed as amending, re healing or modifying any law or agree ment existing which forblds the ao mission of any alien of any nation alitv or geographical boundary Thi was interpreted to mean treaty proVl sions covering the subject or immlgra tion with China and Japan would no be affected by the measures
