IMMIGRATION BILL
COMING Up EARLY
Promised Next Congress
Will Re-EnaCt Measure MIR.
Wilson Vetoed.

BY the Associated Press
! One of the first bills to be reintro-
duced at the next session of Congress
will be the immigration measure
which died yesterday because ot the
| failure of Ex-President Wilson TO
sign ii. Senate -f:.aders had decided
to begin consideration of it in the
April session of Congress. and send
it to President Harding without delay
and substantially III the same lorHl II
" as passed by the last Congress.
Senator Colt, chairman OF the I'M :
migration committee, said TO-DAY II
was improbable that his committee
would hold hearings on the Dill. lie
pointed out that il hearings were
held it would delay the measure in
reaching the Senate Tor passage. ne
bill provides that all aliens entering
the United States for fifteen months
after its enactment shall he limited
to 3 per cent of the nationals of each
country who We're residents of the
United States when the 1910 census
was taken.
Qualifications Expected.
One or two notifications are eN-
rectcd. it was said. Many senators
prefer that the 3 per cent limitation
tion proba ab!y will be acceptable to
the republican Membership of the
new Senate as a whole. The bill
originally proposed 3 per cent. but
was amended by the Senate. at demo-
cratic ms stcnce, to the lower num-
her. Another change win be made in
the date upon which the bill Will be
made effective.
1t was suggs ssted that this would be
advanced from April ] next to later
date. due to the delay by the veto of
it's enactment. There was no inten-
ton. it was said. to change the fif-
teen-month period. inaSmuch as Con
gross would require that amount of
time to draft new permanent leEisla-
ton on the subject. The bill itself
was drafted merely as an emergency
act
Probable New Commissioner.
Waiter w. Husband of st. Johns
bury. Vt. was prominently mentioned
by republican senators today to sue
ceed Anthony Caminetti of California,
as commissioner general of immi2ra-
ton. Mr.. Husband has been identified
for fifteen years with immi grafton
i"--iSl:I ion. serving as : -cre'ary 90 ,hc
Senate Immigration committee, later
as secretary of the American immigra-
ton commission, and in an official ca
pacity with the Department of Labor.
At present he is associated with the
Senator Colt in drafting the measure
which was accepted by the Senate as
the substitute for the johnson bill.

SEEK TO PROTECT QUAIL FROM WANTON SLAUGHTER

Eutaw, October 2s.--(Special.)- With the quail season almost here, land owners and hunters of Greene county are thinking not only of the sport that is in store for them in a few days but also of the protection of the birds from wanton destruction. Tn the past, hunters have come in here from other parts of the state and, by killing hundreds of birds, have turned the fine sport of quail shooting into ruthless slaughter.
 Local sportsmen realize that this county has perhaps as fine bird hunt ing as any other. part of the state. Desiring to keep it good in the fu- ture, nearly 100 land owners and others interested in the protection of game have subscribed to the fol- lowing propositions:
 l. To observe strictly the law, both as to the bag limit and hunting on the lands of another without written permission.
 ?. To support and uphold the game warden in his efforts to see that the law is enforced.
 8. To let it be known in every way possible that we do not approve of the wanton destruction of game. and will not permit the same when in our power to prevent it.
