HUGHES FAVDRS AN
IMMIGRATION LIMIT
WOULD REsTRIcT INFLOW or
ALIENS TO THREE PER CENT
or THOSE HERE IN 1910.
is AIMED AT UNDEsIRABLEs
Administration Attitude Construed
as Rejecting Need for immediate
Passage Of Rigid Immsra-
ton Bill.

Washington. Rigid restriction Of
immigration was recommended by Sec
rotary Hughes in official documents
transmitted to Congress. They were
interpreted by House and Senate lead
ers as refIecting increased need for
the immediate passage by the immi-
grafton bill reported by the House
committee, limiting admission Of
aliens for IA months, beginning next
May 10, to per cent of each nation
Rlity resident in the United States in
1910. Debate in the House will begin
under special rule.
"Our restriction on immigration
should be so rigid" Mr.. Hughes re.
port said, that it would be impossi-
BILE for most of these people to enter
the United States" Particular refer
ence was made to undesirable classes
from Balkan countries, Armenia and
Russia.
The report said 606,292 passport
vises were granted by American con-
suls in Europe for the year 1920, re-
necting stimulated desire in most
European countries to emigrate to
America before anti-immigration laws
were passed. The principal restrain
ing influence was said to be lack of
funds due to deprecated currency
values.
1.-THE director general Of police of
Roumania," the report said, has is
sued an order excusing all Jews from
military service and permitting their
discharge from the army If they de-
sire to emigrate to America"
In Roumania 1900 persons were
awaiting examination for permission
to come to the United States, it was
said, while tremendous pressure" for
passage was reported by officials in
Poland, where $4,000 awaited third
class accommodations
Lithuanians and Let's leaving the
Balkan states, Mr.. Hughes said, were
largely people from the slums, "a vast
majority of them Jews of an undesir-
able type" The report said 5000 Ar
menians and 10000 Syrians were
awaiting passage from Bagdad, and
that despite difficulties of emigration
from Germany the number desiring to
come from that country has doubled
in the last year compared to any SINH
lar period since the war ended.
Senator Jones, Republican, Wash
ington, introduced an amendment to
the immigration bill in the Senate
which would compel all immigrants to
the United States to take passage
only on vessels flying the American
flag.
Reporting the immigration restric-
tion bill to the House, Chairman John
son of the immigration committee
urged its immediate passage, declar-
ing that the causes calling for its en-.
actment by the last Congress still ex-
listed.

LEGEND OF SEVEN SLEEPERS'
Of Syrian Origin, the Story Has Al
Ways Been Widely Current in
Eastern Countries.

The quotation from Dickens Christ
mas Carol, about the other six sleep
crs. Is a playful reference TO the
legend of The Seven Sleepers OF
Ephesus." The legend goes back to
the time OF the persecution OF the
Christians during the reign OF the
Roman emperor Declus. According to
The story seven Christians fled from
Ephesus In Asia Minor in the year 80
or Pol, and hid IN a cave. There they
were discovered, and their prosecutors
walled up the entrance In order to
starve them to death. The seven fell
into n sleep in which they lay for
nearly o years, for II was not until
the reign Of Emperor Theodosius II
t4i7) that they awoke. believing hat
they had slept hut n single night.
one of the seven went into the city
to buy provisions, and he was amazed
to see crosses on the churches and
other buildings, for while they had
been asleep Christianity had made
great progress.

BIG FEES PAID TO STATE.

Some idea of the size of the fees that
occasionally-but not as often as the
officials might wish-roll into the
office of Secretary of State William f..
Chaplin, may be gained from the state
ment that when the Fleischman Yeast
Company the other day filed with the
secretary a copy of its articles of in
corporation, thereby signifying its in
tention of entering business in this
state, it also left behind it a check for
$1.2O5.
Each fee is in proportion to the
amount Of the company's capitalization,
and in this instance the capitalization
was $4,000, 900.
The Burnside Oil company, which al
so filed several days g and which
has n capital stock of 81, 100000. paid
S30J into the state treasury.
But the prize fee was captured last
summer, when the Standard Oil com
pany of Indiana served notice in the
form of an amendment to its articles.
that it had increased its capital stock
from S100.000.000 to the amount of
