. YEAR OF GRACE
FOR EXCLUSION
White House Pressure
Leads Conferees TO
Modify Provision
BY LYLE C. WILSON
LEASED Wire To Age-Heralti)

WASHINGTON, May z.-Severe
pressure from the White House has led
House and Senate conferees on the
immigration bill to modify the japanese
exclusion provision by making it effec-
tive March /, 1925, requesting the
President in the meantime to negotiate
with the Japanese government regard
ing abrogation, of the gentlemen's agree
ment. =.
This action was taken late Wednes-
day, after Coolidge had summoned Sem
ator Reed, Pennsylvania, and Represen-
tative johnson, Washington, republican
conferees, to the White House and
called in Secretary of State Hughes to
present the International aspects of the
situation over which the executive has
been greatly concerned. Coolidge and
Hughes insisted strongly that to en-
force exclusion by legislatio July of
this year would cause serious interna-
tional complications because 1t would
not give the necessary time to negotiate
an agreement and would result inevita-
bly, in deep offcnse to Japanese SENSIBLE
tiles. "., f', s& ,
Reconsider Action
The result was that the conferees
went back into session and reconsidered
their action of Tuesday when the Pfesi-
dents plea for more time. was rejected.
The conferees inserted this proviso
in connection with the exclusion action !:
Provided. that this subdivision shall
not take effect as to exclusion until
March ], 1926, before which time the
President is requested to negotiate with
the japanese government in relation to
abrogation of the present arrangement
on this subject"
Although the conferees reversed their
position, they did not go as far as
the President desired. He asked that
the exclusion. provision be made efec-
tive March /, 1926, but the conferees
chopped a year off of this period Of
The next question is whether the
House and Senate membership will ac-
cept the compromise.
As soon as he heard of the change
of front, Senator Shortridge, of Cali
fornia, announced he would fight the
new provision by raising a point of
order against the conference report on
the ground that new legislation had been
inserted in the bill, by the conferees.

provisions which would permit negotia-
tions," he said. "If the object is to abb
rogate an existing agreement, there Is

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Ameri-
can murder record continues in an up
ward direction, and at least 10000 muir
der cases a year are being recorded, ac-
cording to statements made by DIR.
Frederick L. Hoffman, noted. statisti-
clan, in a survey written for the Spec
tator, an insurance journal,
DIR. Hoffman makes the more or less
interesting observation that If placed
in single line, the graves of the muir
der victims in this country for one year
would make a trench some 20 miles in
length. '1''
Chicago and New York, the largest
centers Of population, We'd for the rec
ord of the greatest number of homicides
in 1928, according to Hoffman's figure,
but the western metropolis, with its
corps of women killers and beer gang
sters, won out, $50 to 30S.
st. Louis was third with 210, and
Detroit, was but one Staying behind
Philadelphia's $50. There the leading
contestants drop, to New Orleans 121
and Memphis 113.
Memphis Leads All
Memphis continues to lead all other
cities, however, in the matter of pro-
portion. Her homicide rate per 100000
population was 65. Jacksonville, Fla,
follows close with 61.7. Then comes
Nashville with 1871 and Louisville with
356.
+ Dr. Hoffman observes that there is
reason to believe that an increasing
number of murders are being hidden
under the guise of suicides or natural
deaths. He also attacks the promiscu-
Gus sale of firearms, pointing out that
the ''one-hand gun" has been respon-
sible for the great majority of twentieth
century murders. ~"
Among cities where the murder rate
increased in 1928, he says, were Boston,
Chicago, Cincinnati, Columbus, Denver,
Detroit, Erie, indianapolis, Jackson
