MADDEN APPROVES
ARCHIVES BUILDING
House Leader, However, Be-
Iieves Expenditure Now
Inopportune.

The position Of House leaders
with respect to a national archives
building was made known yester-
day when Representative Martin
B. Madden, chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee, an
nounced that he was opposed to
the Poindexter amendment provid
ing 100000 for immediate cree
ton of the structure.
IT am very much In favor OF
national archives building. but
I am convinced that this is Dot the
time to make an appropriation Tor
it," Representative Madden said.
In view of his position as chair
man Of the Appropriations Commit
tee, Representative Madden's OPP
position to the building Is recog'
nized as a decided blow. While 1t
is possible that the HOUSE may
overrule his stand it is pointed out
that this is done only on excep-
tional items. Whether the archives
proposition has sufficient support
ers to carry it over the heads of
Republican leaders is regarded as
questionable.
Chairman Madden's position is
that the financial condition of the
country is such that the Govern
ment must cut down on every pos
sibIe expenditure. And while he
recognizes that the archHes build
ing is badly needed, he has not
been convinced that it Is an abso

1t will mean that where today
"A countries are permitted to send
immigrants to this country, only %
countries will be given that OBJ
portunity hinder the proposed new
law. In those % J. countries the
United States will set a minimum
OF 400 people to come to these
shores.
Entry conditions will be made
more. stringent. American consuls
abroad will furnish immigrants with
certificates which will be necessary
to gain admission to ports of entry
in this country. Particular atten-
ton is to be paid to health condi-
tons. These certificates will be
issued as follows:
1. A certificate for straight immi-
grafton.
2. An exemption certificate which
permits entry into the United States
for business purposes.
8. A students certificate which
will not permit remaining in the
United States more than four years.
4. A sailors permit which viii
carry a provision that If the sailor
deserts ship in the United States,
this country can legally deport him.

This last provision of the con-
templated new law is aimed partict1-
larly at Chinese sailors, who ship
ping as such, gain entrance to the

cessfully remain here. Thousands OF
such cases are known of in New
York
The bin will allow persons in this
country two years and with first
naturalization papers to bring in
their wives and children.
Immigration quotas viii be con-
siderably lessened. Those countries
most affected include: Austria,
whose quota will be cut from 7,451
to 1,103: Germany, from 67,6O7 to
51,227; Greece. from 1924 to At;
Italy, from 42,057 to 1912: Poland,
from 21,076 to 1919; the United
Kingdom, from 1882 to 62,458, and
Palestine, from fifty-seven to one.
However, in the case of Palestine,
the new law will really permit a
greater number of immigrants than
the existing law because under the
minimum of 400. it would be per-
mitted to send 4O1 people here to
become citizens.
The proposed law will pass the
House with about thirty negative
votes. Some changes are expected
in the Senate, but the bill in its
essential features is expected to re-
ceive Senatorial approval.

Woman's party. Proceeds will be
used to help finance the equal rights
campaign now being waged in

plays, ballets and spectacles. Her
one-act play, she believes, will show
legal discrimination against wom-
en-. She returned recently after

Texas Sends Congress
Plan to Save Railroad

A memorial from the Texas legis-

a plan for State operation and finan-
cial aid to save the Kansas City,
Mexico and Orient railroad from 60
ing on the scrap heap, was pre-
scented to the House yesterday by
Representative Hudspeth of Texas.
The road is now in Federal court

to be held in allegiance until the
State of Texas could put it on a

HAYNES PLANS BIG
SHAKEUP IN FORCE
Sweeping Changes to Be
Made Upon Return From
Tour of Inspection.

Sweeping changes in the Prohibit
ton Enforcement Department
which will effect the Washington
office, are expected to be made
upon the return of Commissioner
Roy A. Haynes, it was learned yes
terday, through officials at the
bureau.
Commissioner Haynes with Col.
L. G. Mutt, chief of the Narcotic
Division of the Prohibition De.
partment, who has spent two weeks
on an inspection tour through the
West, is expected to return about
February 1. A month ago he re-
turned from an inspection tour
through the South.
The results of these tours, it
was intimated yesterday, will cause
the numerous changes including
the appointment of five new di-
rectors in different States, the
enforcement agents and changes in
the personnel in the Washington
bureaus.
Other than to say there would be
a large, mobile force of agents
brought to Washington, Assistant
Commissioner James e. Jones re-
fused to comment on the coming
shake-up.

The Roman Catholic church has al

CONGRESS To HEAR
D. C. SURPLUS VIEWS
Major Donovan, District kudi-
tor, Will Testify Tomor-

Committee Members Find Its
Details Difficult to
Understand.
WANT REPORT EXPLAINED

The District of Columbia's claim
to the 100000 surplus in the
Upited States Treasury will be ar
gded before the joint Congressional
investigating committee tomorrow
morning, when that body will call
Major Daniel J. Donovan, District
auditor, before it to explain his side
of the matter.
Following a three-hour session by
the committee yesterday, members
agreed unanimously that they should
hold hearings in order to have the
report of the audit firm explained.
AUDIT is COMPLICATED.
The report is 80 elaborate, 1t is
declared, that members have been
unable to make much progress in
understanding what it contains.
The main purpose of the hearings
will be, therefore, to have an expert
on hand who will be able to interpret
the report. In addition to Major
Donovan, the committee has asked
the following persons to appear: H.
j. Galloway, representing the De-
partment of Justice; Earl Taggart,
representing the Treasury, and Ed
ward +. Colladay, representing the
citizens committee.
BELIEVE REPORT FINAL.
Members were of the opinion yes
,terday that no additional audit will
be required to determine the proper
charges against the surplus. While
the total amount to come to the Dis
trict may not equal the sum nov in
dispute, it was indicated yesterday
that the District should profit by
the investigation.
In other words, it was limited,
some of the items suggested as be-
ing properly chargeable against the
surplus will be confirmed, but it was
said that this could not wipe out the
whole amount.
