CONFERENCE. WILL =.
OPEN TOMORROW
DELEGATION OF ALL POWERS
TO GATHER TO CONSIDER
PROBLEMS-FRENCH PREMIER
SAYS AMOUNT FIXED FOR GER
MANY MUST NOT BE REDUC-
ED ONE CENTIME .

London, Feb. 20-With the excep-
ton of the representatives from An
CORA, who did not leave Rome until
Saturday night, the delegations of all
the powers to the Near East confer
ence which will begin Tuesday have
rived in London.
While the conference is due to op-
en- Tuesday morning, there is a pos"
sibility of a postponement as a diff
ference in opinion prevails between
the British, the Italian and the
French as to the best means for end
ing the war in Anatolia. The salient
questions in this respect are whether
there shall be modification of the
treaty of Sevres or insistence OF. the
fulfillment Of that pact, and these
differences must be composed before
the conference proper opens. Also 1t
is the wish of the>allies that the offic-
ial Turkish delegation and the repre-
sentatives from Angora come to
some agreement and act as joint
delegation. A settlement of this mat
ter will be impossible until Monday
night at the earliest, when the An
CORA delegation invited to London by
the British prime minister at the re-
quest of Count, Sforoza, the Italian
foreign minister, reaches London.
The hope is expressed that the
Greek and the Turks will hold a
round table conference before the
opening Of the general session in an
effort to smooth out their differences,
The Greeks, who have the support Of
their former premier, M. Venizelos,
who; has come to London to aid the
delegation, have their proposals ready
for submission to the conference.
They will assure the powers that if
their request for enforcement of the
sevres treaty is granted and suffi-
| cient- money is provided, they are
prepared and will besable to carry
out:etheir part of the treaty, includ-
ing campaign against the forces of
Mustapha Kamal Pasha, the Turkish
National leader. The chief of staff of
the Greek army on the Smyrna front
has come to London with a delega-
tion provided with facts and figures
to show that this us possible.

VOTE ON BILL 81 TO2

Washington, Feb. ia drastic
measure against immigration during
the hext year was adopted today by
the Senate which by the overwhelm-
ing vote of 81 to 2 passed the Dill
lingham immigration? bill, after 'ad-
ding amendments to increase its re-
strictive features. In the form adopt
ed the bill, it is estimated, would linn.
it the number of immigrants during
the next IL monthhs to slightly over
1876, 200. .... e..
The Dillingham; bill was adopted
as substitute for the johnson bill
passed recently by the House. The
latter would bar for year all imml-
grants except relatives of aliens now
in this country. The bills now go TO
conference for adjustment.
Senators Colt, Rhode Island and
Dillingham;, Vermont, Republicans
and Gore, Oklahoma, Democrats were
appointed Senate( conferees.,
Advocates of the Dillingham; sub
stitute declared that it would keep
out more immigrants than the john
SON measure. Both bills would 60 into

It took the Senate less. than five
hours today to dispose of the immi-
grafton legislation, record, Accord
ing to leaders, for q subject of such
importance. The only two Senators
who opposed passage of the bill were

motion to adopt the johnson bill.
Forty per cent. less immigrants
would be admitted under the Pilling-
ham bill astt passed the Senate than

pl:shed by reducing the basis of i'm
migration from five per cent to three
per cent. of the total number of
aliens in this country according to
the 1910 census. The amendment was
offered by Senator Harrison, Demo
crat, Mississippi, who led the fight 10

piled for citizenship would be. given
