Many Jap "Picture'' Brides Come to
 Hawaii

HONOLULU, Feb. 1. Fourteen thousand six hundred and eighty-six Japanese "picture brides" have en- tered the Territory of Hawaii during the decade of 1910-192O, according to official figures just made public by the local immigration authorities.
 This means that 14,000 new Japan csc families have been set up in the islands during the ten year period, an average of 1,400 new families each year.
 Japanese families average about five children each, which means that the Japanese brides arriving during the past ten years represent the DO. tential nucleus of an additional in crease to the Japanese population oi 1910 of about 95,OOO
 Immigration authorities state that the number of new "picture brides arriving in Hawaii remains almost constant, the arrivals for 1921 now approaching the average of 1.400

SENATORS KICK AT PROSPECT OF MUZZLE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. - sena- torial dignity has been ruffled by the suggestion that Senatorial loquacity be muzzled
 MT. President, in connection with Z this resolution to investigate the ex- plosion on the battleship So-and-So, ] wish to remind the Senate that the nut crop in the west is facing the first crisis in it's history" ,.:,,.
 That kind of speech sounds like it was lifted from the opera comique, but it is not at all far-fetched parody on the kind of speeches spe- tators in the Senate galleroies are often startled to hear enunciated on the floor
 And the suggestion that Senatorial liauacity be muzzled simply means that certain Senators think speeches of that sort ought to be stopped.
 Senator Jones, Republican, of Washington, threw the bomb into the camps of his colleagues when he introduced a resolution providing for an amendment to the Senate rules to read:
 Debate shall be confined to the question under consideration unless otherwise provided by unanimous consent"
 Under present rules Senator is privileged to talk on any subject under the sun any time he can get

the recognition of the chair. That is what is called Senatorial courtesy.
 CAN CHANGE TOPICS NOW


 And very often Senator who has made up his mind to speak on a certain subject will receive recogni- tion during the progress of hot de- bate on another subject and side track the whole topic that was under consideration by speech lasting for hours.
 A recent incident shows how this works out During a debate on the Newberry case an agreement was reached to suspend the discussion on a certain date and proceed to the dis cussion of another subject. A cer- tain Senator, at the time set for stop- ping the debate, raised point of order and insisted upon his right to an additional discussion of the sub ject.
 After a lengthy wfangle the chair ruled against him and directed the clerk to call up the subject set for consideration at that time. AS soon as the subject was called up the Senator who had protested against being cut off secured recognition.
 He made a brief reference tO the new topic and then launched into a new speech on the .Newberry case. Technically the other subject was be- for the Senate and theoretically the Senator was discussing it, but actual ly he was discussing the Newberry case and there wasn't way in the world to stop him.
 Oid-time members of the Senate, who are great sticklers for the old time prerogatives of Senators. are sure to buck" and "buck" hard, the attempt to muzzle them. But a group of the newer Senators have de- dared their willingness to give the new plan a trial
 '"This seems to me very wise rule and the only kind of cloture that could be called cloture that would ever support" declared Sena- tor Borah, Republican, of Idaho.
