To IMMIGRATION
Republicans Fear Such a Move
Would Cost Party Alien
Vote Here.
BILL WILL BE DEFEATED

Special Dispatch From Every Evenings
Washington Correspondent
Washington, Jan. I4.-Political exi-
gency alone has determined the leaders
in the Senate To refuse support to the
johnson bill, bearing aliens from the
United States for n limited period Sena-
tor Colt, chairman of the immigration
committee. has conferred with n number
of his colleagues, including Senator Ball Of
Delaware, and it il the consensus Of
opinion that IL would be perilous 10 tho
Republican party to adopt such drastic
legislation.
Senator Ball is among those who are
counted on to energeticalIy resist all cf-
forts to enact the proposed legislation.
Certain leaders in Delaware with whom
the Junior Senator enjoys cordial relations
have made il known 10 him, IL is said
here, TINT they are opposed 10 the bill
and believe il would not be wise 10 adopt
II at this time. Senator Ball, however, is
understood to withhold his assent 10 IL
on the broad principle that an embargo
is a bad thing and likely to arouse resent
ment among foreign nations
The real reason for the opposition Of
the leaders, however, is found IN the fear
that vast number of Americans of foreign
ttfItft tf HflI1ifiiibe ftFtlRft ueStFFts WUDifi
be driven out of the Republican party
should such legislation be placed on the
statute books They say the foreign-born
voters proved an exceedingly valuable
asset to the Republican party last year
and the leaders are unwilling to do any
thing that would tend 10 drive them from
the fold To discriminate against their
brothers and sisters ~ foreign lands world

Senator Colt quito frankly admitted
To Every Evenings correspondent that

Favoring the proposed 81, 100000 bond
issue for school Improvements IN rural
New Castle county, George B. Miller,
president of the State Board of Education

teachers:
81 am sure that you must appreciate
the fact that you are about as much in
terested in the successful result of the
referendum election for the issuance of
81 600. 900 bonds for the construction of
new school buildings as anyone connected
with the school system OF the county. A
good, modern school building with proper
equipment will increase your efficiency
wonderfully, and at the same time will
make it much easier for you to do your
work.
"You have no doubt closer touch with
the patrons of the school-in fact with all
of the taxpayers of your school district
than any other official of the school sys-
TEN. and consequently you are IN a posi-
ton to appeal to them and TO make evi-
dent to them the necessity for a better
building for the boys and girls of the dis
trict 1t is possible for you to urge them
TO come 10 see for themselves the unsatis-
factory and probable unsanitary condition
tions existing, which make your work
difficult and uninspiring, and which hinder
the educational progress and, in far too
many cases, the physical development OF
the children.
II have very high opinion of your pro-
fession. / am sure that many of you are
making a real sacrifice In teaching in the
buildings you are in. We appreciate your
Ioyalty and your deep interest in this
most important work We believe YOU
can be a real vital force in putting this
bond issue across. Do give the County
Board of Education your assistance"

sition on the part OF some Of Mr..
Daugherty's political enemies not to
oppose his entrance into the Cabinet In
the belief that he would be IN a far
more powerful position politically out
side the Cabinet than as ono OF the
Harding official family.
IL is believed that Mr.. Harding IS of
the opinion that the selection OF Herb
ert Hoover as Secretary Of the In
terror would be as popular "A choice as
that of Mr.. Hughes.
Coming TO the Department of Agri-
culture. the opposition OF packers and

CLUBWOMEN TO
TO BE EXTRAS
BUT-TOO LATE

WHEN the cry was on last week for
w extra player in the crowd scenes
Of The Two ',.phans," the Griffith
studio sent out general invitation
through Wcstchcstcr County. including
a special one to a Manaroncck women $
club, inviting the members 10 earn s.
and learn how the movies tick.
According TO n member the invitation
started n debate ns to whether or not
it would he digniicd. SO decision was
continued until next day when each re-
ported what the husband, or man
friend, had commented.
The argument got hotter, and finally
was continued for week. Meanwhile
the scene was taken, with every avail
able white person in three villages
present. Then by a close vote the club
cast for art, adventure and peep ut
ID. w. directing.
On some ones very best stationery,
the announcement was borne by special
messenger TO the studio. When told the
day was far past, the club insisted there
must be other scenes for such worthy
material as they, and hav" sent four
ultimatums demanding appearance.
SO if there is going to be any peace
| in Mamaroncck, it seems Griffith just
must have another mob scene in "Thc
Two Orphans" whether or not it in.
