Mr.. Hughes is fully advised of the
desire of embas ny officials to have

BLOCKADE is LIFTED

Gov. Hunt Lets Stranded Tourists
From California Enter State
to Avoid Riot.
BY the Associated Press.

PHOENIX, Ariz., April 19.-Gov. q.
w. Hunt of Arizona early today lift
ed the foot-and-mouth disease block
ade at Yuma in order to permit the
passage into this state of approx
mately 500 motorists reported in a
pitiful condition as a result of being
held on the California side of the
state line without camping equipment
or sufficient food.
In a telegram to DR.. E. L. STAN, in
charge of the quarantine at Yuma, the
governor stated he felt sit would be
safer to have these people pass after
a thorough inspection and good flu
migation than to have them rush
the guard"
Would Avoid Bloodshed.
II do not want to see any blood
shed, but we must use every pre-
caution possible" the message con-
tinued. owing to the very serious
situation, as reported in your tele-
phone message, and the non arrival
of the military, you are authorized to
issue permits, after thorough inspec-
tion and fumigation, to persons that
are now stranded on the California
side. AS soon as this is done, have
the embargo closed again. l realize
what a menace it would be to Arizona
to have this dreadful disease get a
foothold."
The situation assumed threatening
proportions last night, when some of
the motorists sought to rush the
guard on the Arizona side. Fire ap-
paratus was driven UP hurriedly, and
the tourists gave way when fire hose
was trained on them. No shots were
fired and. there was no serious vio-

EARLY AGREEMENT
SEEN ON ALIEN CURB
Senate and House Ready for Con-
ference on Changes in
Johnson Measure.
TOTALS ARE REDUCED
Attitude of President on Japanese
Exclusion Uncertain.

The Senate and House immigration
bills were ready for conference to-
day, with indications of an early
agreement. Although differing at a
number of points, the Asiatic ex-
cluion and other provisions embody-
ing important changes in policy are
substantially the same.
The House passed its bill last Sat
urday by majority of more than
4 to l and the Senate acted last
night, 60 to 6. Both chambers made
their decision with respect to jap
anese exclusion after Ambassador
Hanihara's letter defining the gentle
mems agreement and warning of
grave consequences" had been for
warded to Congress by Secretary
Hughes. who, with President Cool
idge, had consistently opposed enact
ment Of such a provision.
May Veto Measure.
Comment on the Executive attitude
toward the bills has been lacking
since their passage at the White
House and the State Department. 1t
has been suggested that the PreSi-
dent might veto the measure when
it is submitted to him after the
Senate and House iron out their diff
ferences, but some congressional
leaders have predicted that he will
give it his approval.
Differences in phraseology in the
Asiatic exclusion and other provi-
sions, in the opinion OF parliamentary
observers present an opportunity
for considerable modification while
the final draft is being worked out
in conference. No sign has been
given. however, to indicate the points
of divergence at which either cham :
Der may be expected to recede toward
a compromise.
Quota Cut Down.
Provisions fixing immigration
quotas at per cent on the basis
of the 1890 census figures, as COM
pared with per cent of the 1910
census figures in the expiring law,
are contained in both bills, but ex-
emptions for relatives of citizens and
skilled labor and families, approved
by the House, were not adopted by
the Senate. A quota total" of 10000
is estimated under the Senate bill,
while the House measure would admit
I62, 900. with a like number, in the
opinion of Senator Reed, Republican.
Pennsylvania, allowed to enter under
the exceptions
The Senate also adopted provis-
ion, not included in the House bill,
practically limiting the life OF the
measure to about three years pending
a population survey by the Secreta-
ries Of Interior, Commerce and Labor
intended to establish permanent oa-
sis for computing future quotas. An
other proposal the House will be ask :
ed to accept is the Simmons amend
ment giving preference to farm abor
immigrants when states certify that
they are needed.
The House bill carries a provision
for supervision of alien seamen ar
riying at American ports, but the
Senate rejected a similar proposal,
and also favored a system OF wise
certificates instead of the stamped
passport" plan of the House in con-
nection with the scheme for exam
ination of immigrants abroad.

The Public Utilities Commission to-

at the same time designating the date
on which the increase will be effect
i've.

that during the coming year 1t would
be necessary to purchase sixteen new
busSes OF more modern design and
erect a garage.
VIII Announce Valuation.
In its forthcoming decision the com
mission also will announce the valua-
tion to be placed on the property OF
