Senate MEASURE
LIMITS Immigration
Number to Be Admitted Re.
duCed to 3 Per Cent of
Those Already Here.

Washington, D. CA drastic meas.
ure against immigration during the
next year was adopted by the senate,
which, by G1 to 2, passed the Dilling'
ham immigration restriction bill. The
bill, 1t Is estimated, would limit immi.
grants during the next year to slightly
more than $4,000.
The bill was adopted as n substitute
for the Johnson bill passed by the
house.
Before passing the substitute the
senate defeated, 43 to 10, motion to
adopt the johnson bill.
| The 3.per.cent standard of the bill,
according to committee estimates,
would permit the following number
of immigrants during the next year
after the bill becomes law:
Belgium 1882, Denmark 5449, France
1923, Germany 75,O4O, Sweden 1886,
Switzerland BIAS, United Kingdom H..
| 206, or 202,212 from western Europe.

is: Austria.Hungary 50,117, Bulgaria
345, Serbia 1879, Montenegro 1911,
Greece 303S, Italy 40,293, Portugal

Spain 663, Turkey in Europe $751; Tur-
key In Asia 1895, or 153,249 from that
district.
The senate bill provides that it shall
mot be construed as amending, re.
pealng or modifying any law or
agreement existing which forbds the
admission of any allen of any nation
atty or geographical boundary"
This was interpreted to mean treaty
provisions covering the subject Of i'm

DESIRED TO TAKE THE VEIL
Oldest Daughter Of Thomas jefferson
Attracted by Quiet Life Within
Convent Walls.

Martha Jefferson. oldest daughter
or Thomas Jefferson, third President
of the United States. came near to be.
Ing n catholic sister. She was stu
dent at the school of Abbaye de Pan
themont ut the time the French Revo.
luton was In progress. The daring
and tllppant infdelty of the French
frightened and disguised her, and she
chung to the calm and serene life of
the convent with all her strength. Her
mother had taught her in the ways
of the Church of England, but the sur
roundlngs at the school overreached
this, and she decided to become a
nun.
She wrote to her father asking his
permission to adopt the veil. No
answer came for several days, and
then Jefferson appeared in person.
He greeted the girl with tender
smile, interviewed the abbess, and
then came out and told the girl to
pack her things. Her school life
was ended at that moment, and the
next day she was introduced to So
clety and made the mistress of her
fathers household She declared years
afterward that neither she nor her
father had ever alluded to the sub
Ject by single word from that
day on.

WORLDS PRESS CONGRESS

Now that all uncertainties in regard to a visit of the journalists
OF the world have been removed and it is assured they will come to
Maui on the Matsonia and be here October Is and 16, congratulations
can be extended to Maui on the splendid advantages that will be
hers from such visit and the opportunity she will have to take her
place in the sun.
1t will not be definitely known until after September 7 how
many visitors there will be in the party, but present estimates are
not less than $50 and not more than 375 will be included in the party.
That means there will be that many of the leading newspaper and
magazine owners, publishers and editors who will be on the Valley
Isle at fair time, learning her beauties, her resources and experience.
ing her hospitality at first hand. Advertising space can be bought.
but to secure articles from $50 to 375 publicits, the leaders of the
journalism in the world, is outside of purchase possibilities, ear only
be taken a "A gift, not secured as a purchase. To buy the space that
will come to the Islands and to Maui would cost a sum which these
Islands could not possibly raise. But they come here at their own
expense, pay their own transportation and living expenses, and the
cost OF two days entertainment is insignificant as compared with
the returns that will follow. Some funds will be needed. The county
could not spend money to better advantage than to make an
appropriation. Every business house can find no better investment
than a contribution to the fund and every public spirited citizen of
Maui can find no better channel for his activities than in working
for the success of the entertainment to the visitors and boosting for
lair Maui from now until after the representatives of the press of
the world have come and gone.

Some manufacturers and wholesale distributors are discriminate
ing against Maui. On the mainland and in Honolulu they advertise
to create a demand for their goods. On Maui they do not advertise
they leave all the craftsmanship to Maui merchants and seem not to
care whether the goods remain on the shelves here or go out, so long
as they get the pay for what they sell. Maui business men could
help their sales If they would demand that goods which they are
asked by travelling statesmen to buy be as well advertised here, in
proportion to the population, as they are in Honolulu. They are en-
titled to their share of publicity, for the advertising used elsewhere

Hawaii should not come out strongly and flatfootedly on behalf of
such legislation, but is, rather, an added reason why just such action
should be taken, why the words of Maui Post should be adopted as
the words OF every post in the Islands.
Mr.. Bowles has said the Legion opposes the legislation men,
toned, but so far as is known no referendum on the subject has been
taken and the posts, with the exception Of Maui and Kauai posts,
have not been heard from. Under those circumstances it must be as
sumed Mr.. Bowles is voicing the view of Mr.. Bowles and of no one
else, and the American Legion in these Islands is justified in telling
congress that Mr.. Bowles knows not whereof he speaks and that he
has spoken unauthorizedly so far as the Legion posts in the depart
ment of Hawaii are concerned.
Once more Maui News urges upon the I1lo convention the pas
sage of the same declaration made by Maui Post and the sending of
copies of it to both houses of congress. And while in the sending
business, a copy might be forwarded to MI. Bowles.
