IMMIGRATION LAW
TO Be REDRAFTEO.
Plan to Convert II Into Per-
manent Statue
SCORE OF CHANGES ASKED
Harding Urges That All Aliens Be
Made To Register Several Times
A Year-tsso Basis
Proposed.

Washington.-Th House Immigra-
ton Committee will redraft the pres
ent "S per cent" immigration statute
intossuch shape that it Will stand as
permanent law.
A score or more of changes will be
considered. One of the most important
is President Harding's recommenda-
tion that all aliens be required to reg
lister several times year as a close
tab can be kept on their activities and
the pace at which they assimilate
American ideals.
Another major proposal to be taken
up by the committee is that the "s per
cent" law hereafter be based on the
census of 1890 instead of the census
of 1910. Goirg back to the 1890 cen
sus would greatly increase the quotas
for the northern countries Of Europe,
which are regarded as supplying the
most desirable immigrants, and would
at the same time reduce materially the
quotas for the countries of Southern
Europe
Among other changes to be consid-
cred are:
More drastic penalties for steam
ship companies which bring over
aliens who obviously are not qualified
for admission.
Setting of definite numerical quota
for some of the smaller European
countries. and new rule providing
that immigration flowing from those
countries must be spread out evenly
each year over the various months.
Cat present there is food Of i'm
migration the first few months of
each fiscal year, and then there is
long period of eight or nine mouths
when no immigration is alIowed.)
Provision that alien wives Of Amer
ican citizens can enter at any time,
though the quota from their country
may be exhausted.
Provision that children born in
some other country than the country
of their parents can come in as from
the nation of their parents.
The committee does not intend to
consider further at this session the
proposal that the army intelligence
tests be applied to all incoming aliens.
A resolution providing for use of the
intelligence tests has been introduced
by Representative Cable. Of Ohio,
member OF the committee.

state Buys It's OWN Rabbits.

State Game Warden E. Lee lie
Compte has paid out about s2,5Oo for
live rabbits trapped in this State, and
the returns are not yet all in. In ad-
dition, he has contracted to buy 5000
Western rabbits to be shipped into
Maryland shortly.
The rabbits trapped in Maryland
were paid for at the rate of 81 each.
They were all caught before January
/, the close of the rabbit season. and
delivered to the chief deputy game
warden in the county in which they
were caught. After January 1 they
were liberated, but in different sec
tion Of the county from that in which
they were caught.
Rabbits were unusually scarce in
Maryland last season, but the scare
ity was not uniform. The plan fol-
lowed was to have them released in
sections where the scarcity was
greatest, but always in the same
county where they were caught.
The plan is experimental and the
expense has been met out Of the re-
ceipts for hunting licenses. Mr. lie
Compile believes rabbits do not travel
far, and that. therefore. they will
remain In the neighborhood where
they are released and not try to find
their way back to their old homes.
If they do return home the money
spent for trapping them will have
been wasted.
Not more than 100 rabbits have
been trapped in any one county. Mr.
LIE Compile said yesterday. The
counties producing the largest num-
her were Dorchester and Kent.

STATE
CAPITAL


None but Maryland architect will
be permitted to draw designs for the
six Maryland National Guard armories
to be erected in six towns.
This was announced by Adft. Gen.
Milton A. Reckord after a meeting
with Governor Ritchie and the Board
Of Public Works.
General Reckord asked the board to
authorize him to get an architect to
draw the plans, with the understand.
ing that the architect is not to be paid
until the lot at North and Maryland
avenues, purchased originally by the
State for a new Fourth Regiment Ar
mory is sold and the money available.
The board granted the authorization.
"I should be glad to hear from any
architect in the State regarding this
undertaking. said General Reckord
afterward. "The armories are to be
paid for out Of the money derived
from the sale OF the North avenue
site. We cannot pay the architect for
his work until we get that money.
"But we want to get the plans now.
so that so soon as the sale Of the lot is
consummated we may advertise for
bids"
The State wants s45O.OOo for the lot,
less per cent for brokerage fees,
General Reckord declared.
OF this sum. $4,000 must be used
for improvements to the Fifth Regi-
ment Armory, s25,OO0 for the armory
at Pikesville, $4,000 for improve
ments TO the medlcal regiment ar
mory on Fayette street, near Paca
street; s25,OO0 for work on the aerial
field at Dundalk and the balance for
armories in the following six towns:
Hagerstown. Centrevslle, Cum
berland, Silver Springs, Easton
and Crisfeld
They will be built on the same plans
as the armories now in use in Fred
erick, Annapolis and Salisbury.

DEBT FARLEY ENDS;
FORECAST HOPEFUL
Negotiations To Be Continued
Through Embassy
NEAR AGREEMENT REACHED
British Commissioners Believe Con.
ference With Cabinet Best
course-Take Hope
fuI View.


"'asiiins between
the American and British Debt Com.
mission were adjourned, but with an
understanding that the negotiations
for the refunding of Great Britain's
war debt to the United States would
be continued through the British EN-
bassy here after the arrival of the
British Mission at London.
Upon the conclusion Of the final
Joint session Of he Commissioners,
an official spokesman voiced the ex-
pectation that the consultations
which the British group are to have
with their cabinet Immediately after
they reach London would pave the
way for an agreement in principle in
time for action by the American
Congress at the present session. It
was agreed that unless there could be
an understanding within that time a
refunding arrangement could not be-
come operative under one year.
The official spokesman declared
there was not anything that should
stand in the way Of an understanding
within the very near future. Generally
speaking. he said. plan had been
shaped up, but there remained for
final determination the more import
ant points, including the exact inter
est rate and the amounts Of the an
nual payments to be made by the
British Government. On these, he
continued. the Commissions were not
very far apart
Stanley Baldwin, British Chancellor
of the Exchequer and head of the
British group, was represented as
holding the opinion that he could ac-
complish more in this regard through
a personal conference with the Cab
met than through even the most ex-
tended cable exchanges.
Details as to the various sugges-
tions that have been put forth dur
ing the conservations of the past ten
days still were withheld. It was
learned. however. that the British
Government regarded an interest
rate Of per cent. as fair and
equitable. while the Americans pre-
sented arguments in favor of a rate
somewhat higher, but at the same
time well below the AZ per cent
fixed in the debt refunding law.
Ambassador Harvey, who has been
guest at the White House since
January 2. left for New York. Al
though no definite statement was
made. it was indicated that he might
return to Washington before leaving
for his London post.
The departure OF Mr., Harvey coin
eided with that of the British Debt
Commission which left Washington
during the day. adding emphasis to
the belief that the Ambassadors visit
to Washington was occasioned pri-
marily by the debt negotiations. Dur
ing his stay here. however. he has
discussed European questions with
Secretary Hughes and members of
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee, while his advice Is understood
to have been valued by President
Harding in connection with the Eu-
ropean reparations complications.

GERMANS IN RUHR LOOK TO u. S,
IN HOPE OF MEDIATION.

Essen.-Within the industrial and
mining circles of the Ruhr hope is
quietly cherished that some third
Power will initiate steps toward in
termediation between Germany and
France in order to break the deadlock
over coal deliveries which has been
created by the occupation. This was
learned in reliable German quarters.
The possibility of such action by
England, It was stated. is regarded
out Of the question for the time being,
owning to Anglo-French political CON
nections; hence attention is increas-
ingly directed toward America Ap-
parently hope spring eternal in the
German breast, and, according to GER
tain German authorities, there is rea-
son to believe that compromise could
be effected should the United States
become mediator.
The suggestion is advanced that
possibly in this manner the French
could be induced to consider with
d-awal Of their troops, while the Ger
man Government might retract its
prohibition Of all deliveries. 1t was
pointed out. however, that the time
may not be considered ripe for such
mediation by outside powers in a
position to act; yet the costs and con
sequences of the occupation are al
ready so great as to make interven-

TIMBER PENALTY ORDERED
French, Belgian And Italian Govern

OF State Forests on Left
Bank OF Rhine.

Essen.-The French Economic Mis-
sion has decided to content Itself for
the time being with the requisition-
ing of coal already mined and brought
TO the surface. diyerting to France
the ears already loaded and destined
for the interior Of Germany. and post
poning for the present the idsa Of
requisitioning the mines themselves.
This decision was reached at a
meeting Of the Economic Mission, at
which General Simon presided and
which lasted many hours. The meet
ing was called after advices had been
received from Paris that the word
"confiscation" mentioned in the French
papers was creating bad impression
abroad. especially in the United States
and England.
The realization that the French
technical services in Ruhr we're total

magnitude also wee -e=rc--.si.- =. =. {. :.
measure for alteration Of the French
plans
That the French policy in the Ruhr
Is yeering towards milder methods is
also shown by the announcement by
French General Headquarters at mid
night that "the defaultingS Smagnates"
would not be arrested, but would be
simply summoned and tried before
rourtmartials. leaving these courts
to deal with them as they deemed fit.
I'VE will not give them an oppor-
tunity to pose as martyrs" was the
comment made at headquarters.
Application Of the Tirard plan for
collecting customs, which was pre-
sented at the Paris Conference by NJ.
Poincare, will also be enforced be
tween now and January 81.
1t developed during the evening
that friction existed between the
French Economic Civilian Mission
and the occupying military authori-
ties, which was responsible for orders
and -ec,s--s- orders, the vacillating
policy. involving first the stern and
then the coneiliatory measures, OBJ
tanning in the past few days.
The Economic Mission realizes that
preparations are totally inadequate
for the French to take complete
charge Of the Ruhr mines without the
assistance of German technical organ
izations. and is desirous of gaining
time, without the wish to resort to the
requisitioning of the mines until there
Is absolutely no other way out.
The French Economic Mission
places little credence in the reports
from London that Hugo SHINES has
obtained large credits in England for
the export of coal into Germany. and
expect that when coal shipments from
the Ruhr fail, the Reich will come to
terms inside Of three weeks.
The German magnates held meet
