TYPHUS FEVER
ISON INCREASE
Increase in Number of Cases
Among Immigrants Alarm
ing to Authorities.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-Alarmed
by the increasing number of cases of
typhus among immigrants arriving in
the port of New York, federal health
authorities tonight were engaged in a
study of methods to revent introduc-
tion of the dread disease into the
United States.
The situation at New York, where
more than 80 immigrants are aboard
ships suffering from typhus, was
brought to the attention of President
Wilson late today in a telegram from
DIR. Royal S. Copeland, New York
health commissioner. DR.. Copeland
called the presidents attention to pro-
visions OF the quarantine act of 1898
granting the president authority in
the interest of the public health to
prohibit in whole or in part the ad-
mission to the United States of per-
sons and property from such coun-
tries or ports as he may designate and
for such a time as he may deem nee
essary.
The telegram from the New York
health commissioner, on receipt at
the white house, was forwarded TO
the treasury department which has
jurisdiction over the public health
service and matters of public health.
Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury La Porte, in charge of the public
health service. said tonight that the
quarantine act referred to by DIR.
Copeland had been the subject of
study for several days but as the
withholding of general permission to
enter the country would be a drastic
step officials hesitated to put it into
effect. Most of the typhus cases have
been found among immigrants arriv-
ing from southern Europe, especially
from Italian ports.
Assistant Surgeon General r. H.
Creel, Secretary La Porte said, has
been sent to New York to make
thorough study of the situation and
to cooperate with health authorities
there in handling the typhus prob
lem.

EMERGENCY BILL
is BROUGHT UP
Restrictions More Drastic in
Immigration Than Those in
House Bill.
EFFECTIVE NEXT APRIL
Measure Decided Upon as Sub
stitute for House Bill
Passed Recently.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Restric-
tions on immigration said by commit
tee members to be more drastic than
those proposed in the house or John
son bill are contained in an emer-
gency measure approved and reported
today by the senate immigration COM
mittee. The measure decided on as a
substitute for the bill passed several
weeks ago by the house would become
effective next April l, and continue in
force until June 80. 1922.
During the 15 months the bills re-
strictions would be effective senate
leaders are confident permanent i'm
migration legislation viii be enacted
and in the meantime the predicted
flood of aliens would be stopped.
The bin, as reported by the senate
committee would limit the immigrants
admitted to the United States annual
ly from any one country to per cent
of the nationals of that country in the
United States at the time of the 1920
census was taken. The measure how
ever, specifically provides that ii shall
not be construed as amending. repeal
ing or modifying any law or agree
ment now existing which fosbids the
admission of any alien of any nation
atty or geographical boundary
The provision was interpreted to
mean that treaties now existing be-
tween the United States and China
and the United States and Japan.
would not in any wise be affected.

migration question tonight pointed olrf

would more than equal the number Of
all entries under the senate bill.
Another difference between the two
bills was pointed to in the provisions
for determining what classes of inn
migrants would be admitted. The
house voted to treat all nationalities
alike. The apparent disposition in
the senate as indicated in the bin re-
ported today is to legislate only
against European immigrants. In this
connection Senator Colt, of Rhode ISL
and, chairman Of the committee. de-
scribed the bin as "one Of temporary
use only and intended to apply to
European countries" Statistics, he
said, showed that ninety per cent of
all immigrants come from Europe.
Floor leaders expressed doubt that
the bill would pass at the present
session because of the congested con-
dition Of the senate calendar
