NEW LAW BARS !
 75,ODO BRITISH
U. $. Regulations Keeps. Them Back After Buy
 ing Tickets

LONDON, July 10.-(By Associated Press. 1.-The new American immigra- tion regulations became effective today, much to the distress of 75,000 British subjects of steamship companies which had sold steerage space to that number of passengers.
 For weeks, the American consulates in the United Kingdom have been be- sieged by prospective. immigrants who have cited their steamship tickets as, full and sufficient reasons that. they be permitted to travel to the United States.
 But the new method of handling emi- grants require that anybody desiring to go to America for indefinite residence, shall write to the nearest American consulate from whom he will receive. an appointment to appear before the consul for a visa. Those found eligi-; ble for admission to the United States, will receive visa certificates which, once granted, will assure the passen-s gers, of admission to the United States without the possibility of detention at Ellis Island.
 As far as the quota is concerned. there will. be no detentions inasmucf' as only sufficient number of visa, certificates to absorb the quota will be granted. The quota for Great Britain and Ulster is 34,007, of which, l per cent will be granted visa certifil' cates monthly.a

 ''Theye is an air of hopefulness ana confidence and l think it will grow as MT. Davis interprets the platform and Governor Bryan's official record is ex amined.
 "They wanted western man who was dry and progressive and Cover nor Bryan fitted into the requirements of the case in every way. The more they, study his work as governor, the more strength it will add to the ticket He was elected two years ago by 50,00C votes and was recently nominated at the SCIIAHb CG pCl cent of the vote, and also 78 per cent oi the vote of the farmer labor party.
 He has won the nomination upon his own merits. He has been my repre- sentative in Lincoln, Neb., for 2S years and has developed executive ability in that work and as mayor and governor I don't think they could have found anyone who could bring more votes tC the ticket in a section of the country where the fight will be the hardest and the hottest"

John c. Coolidge, father of the President, left his home at Plymouth with Mir. Coolidge to 20 back with the bereaved family. It is his first trip to Washington since he administered the oath of office to the President in his Plymouth home year ago.
 The strain of the long day had told little on Mrs. Coolidge tonight, It was reported from the Presidents coach that she was tired out but otherwise feeling as we'll as could be expected un- der the circumstances. Comforting her all the day was John, year half old CT than his brother, and a. constant companion of Calvin since babyhood. Although he felt the shock of his brothers death keenly, today he was the most composed member of the Coolidge party and constantly at his mother S arm.
 Several members of the President $ party, including the cabinet nlembeks, Frank w. Stearns of Boston, and Mrs. Stearns, missed the trip to the home of the Presidents father at Plymouth after the service at the cemetery. The auto. mobiles were slow in getting away from the cemetery and they lost the Presi- dential car, making the return imme- diately to Ludlow. At the farm house home the family rested while Colonel Coolidge packed up for his journey to the White House. Later Mrs. Coiidge and John took short walk about the grounds.

BRYAN AIDS DAVIS CAMP AIGN
{ (Centinued From Page One. )

' q one of the Morgan partners. Morrow was an Amherst class-mate of Coolidge's and has visited at the White House rsey- eral times in the past year.
 But unless this line of attack is han. dled with great skill and restraint, it may prove a boomerang,
 In addition to the efforts that Davis will make to present himself to the electorate as a progressive, the demo. crats will work Governor Bryan, the vice presidential candidate, overtime in the farm districts. Bryan has a strong following in the west and the party is counting on considerable help from him.
 But in the sections where Bryan might be expected to help the party, La Toilette is the popular idol. t7{
 Forecasts Are Idle
 At the moment, it looks as if the con servative vote would be divided between Coolidge and Davis and that the pro- gressive and radical vote, both in cities and in the west, would go to La Fol- lette. If this proves to be the case, it may be that-neither candidate would re ceive a majority, in, which case the cleo tion would be thrown into the house. Possibly the Senate may yet have to choose between Dawes and Bryan and put one of them in the White House because of a tie-up in the electoral col. lege and in the House. But November is five months away and until more wa ter has gone over the dam, forecasts are idle &s- :.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Petitions on behalf of half a thousand of Ala bama lumber interests seeking suspen- sion of proposed new schedules increas- ing lumber freight rates from four southern states to eastern trunk line points, were received by the Interstate Commerce Commission today.
