500 Attend Opening of
Brooklyn's Horse Show

The twenty-fourth annual horse
show of the Brooklyn Riding Academy
opened yesterday. at Prospect Park
Plaza, Brooklyn, with brilliant social
turnout numbering five hundred or
more.
The Plaza was decorated with Amcri-
can flags and bunting. Several tan

driven to dog carts gave the event a
correctly horsy setting.
Principal interest seemed to center
in the saddle and jumping classes

abandoned because Of lack of en-
tries.

Hughes Denies Urging
Barrier to Immigration

WASHINGTON, April 2o.-A formal
statement issued to-day by the State
Department said that Secretary Hughes
"did not make and did not intend to
make any recommendation whatever
regarding immigration" in transmitting
to Congress reports from American
government agents abroad dealing with
the movement of immigrants to the
United States.
1t was stated in an Associated Press
dispatch last night that Mr.. Hughes
had made such a recommendation and
he also was quoted as saying that "our
restriction son immigration should be
so rigid that it would be impossible for
most of these people to enter the
United States," reference being made
especially to Armenians, Jews, Per
SLAMS and Russians"
AS a matter of fact that quotation
appeared in a paraphrase of report
from the American Consul at Tifiis re-
lating to people in that district which
was among a number of similar reports
transmitted to the House and Senate
immigration Committees by Mr. Hughes
after Chairman Johnson of the House
committee, had asked for information
on the subject.

immigration Bill
Expected to Pass
In House To-day
Five-Minute Rule Invoked
in Debate; seigel and
Cochran AssaiI Measure
Aimed to Restrict Aliens
From. Tho Tribuns,s wa.ntno,on g,r,,,.

b'V"e ! Hc VtOf<Tt6 b " Wu6Htn0L0M bureau
WASHINGTON. April 20.-General
discussion of the immigration restric-
tion bill was concluded in the House
tonight after day Of sharp debate.
which was threatened several times by
opponents of the measure with being
turned into "field day" for them
selves. Tomorrow the five-minute rule
will be invoked for debate and it is ex-
pected that vote will be reached be-
fore night. The leaders expect the bill
Will pass easily.
Clashes between supporters Of re-
strlction and its opponents were marked
by charges that the State Departments
OF aliens contemplating emigration to
the United States was purposely drawn
up so as to reflect against the Jews of
Poland and other states. Representa-
tlves Isaac Siegel and Walter M. Chan
dler, of New York, declared the State
departments report, which was added
to the report of the immigration Com
mittee, is incomplete and biased.
The two New Workers quoted from a
section Of the survey which said: "Out
restrictions on immigration should be
SO rigid that it would be impossible for
the most Of these people to enter the
United States. Reference is especially
made to Armenians, Jews, Persians and
Russians of the ordinary classes, all of
which have been so driven hither and
thither since 1914 that they cannot be
regarded as desirable populations for
any country"
Mr.. Siegel contended that the Immi-
grafton Commission had arbitrarily Sc
lccted the census of 1910 as basis for
determining the number of aliens ad-
missible, with no reason whatever"
Representative w. Bourke Cochran,
Democrat, of New York, addressed the
House shortly before Chairman John
son of the immigration Committee
summed up the needs for the passage
of the bill and his arguments were
loudly applauded by both sides.
II doubt" said Mr.. Cochran, Elf the
significance Of this bill is fully realized
by the gentlemen who are supporting
it. 1t is an abandonment Of the policy
that has fixed the position of this
country in the world.'
Representative Meyer London, of
New York, the only Socialist in the
House, made his first address as a
member of the new Congress in oppos-
we now propose to exclude those for
whom we sent our soldiers overseas
to make the world safe for democracy.
"On the unemployment question:" he
added, you can't have competition in
industry without unemployment"
He was interrupted by Representative
Philip P. Campbell, of Kansas, chair
man of the Rules Committee, who said ::
I'm Russia there is no competition and
they have unemployment"
Mr.. London replied that Russia is
just beginning to solve her great
problems and it might be years before
they are worked out"
