BERLIN, July 3Nationalistic musi- cal critics are incensed over the fact that Georges Baklanoff, who is star rin gas guest in the German Opera House, dared sing the part of Meph- isto in French.

HOUSE Immigration
MEASURE TAKEN UP
Vigorous Effort to Change Many
Provisions Is Expected;
Vote Next Week.

The Johnson immigration bill was
indications of vigorous efforts to
change many of its provisions. AL
though general debate on the meas
ure is limited to ten hours under
rules governing it's consideration, the
discussion of proposals for its amend
ment are expected TO delay vote
until the latter part of next week.
Virtual Bar to Japanese.
The Johnson bill proposes an i'm
migration quota of per cent based
on the 1890 census. provides for ex-
animation abroad of aliens desiring
to make their home in this country
and virtually would bar Japan ese
from entry. The 1890 quota basis
has been described by some of it's
proponents as a means of reducing
the number of immigrants from
southern and central Europe and in
creasing the proportion from the
northern and eastern sections of that
continent, and has aroused consider
able opposition on the same grounds.
The present law fixes the quota at 3
per cent on the basis of the 1910
census.
SABBATH Wants Further Study.
Representative SABBATH, democrat,
Illinois, a member of the immigra-
ton committee, who, disagrees with
the proposals sponsored by Chairman
johnson, introduced a resolution yes
terday providing for extension until
December 81, 1925, of the present law,
which expires June so, and a study
of the problem meantime by a COM
mission comprised of two senator's,
two representatives. and three. MEM
bers appointed by the President to
represent industrial, labor and agri-
cultural interests.

reported today to have been stricken
with vertigo during an address be-
fore the Conference Board of Physi-
clans in Industry, declared through
his secretary last night that he had
not been ill-that his throat had
merely become husky and that he
wanted to save his voice for a speech
at Bethlehem, Pa, next Sunday.
Mr.. Gompers was listed as principal
speaker for a two-day session of the
conference board designed to promote
the reduction of preyentable deaths,
injuries and diseases in industry. Ply
sicians in his audience at the Hotel
Astor noticed that he appeared IA

Headquarters for American expe-
ditions studying jungle problems has
been set up through a cooperative
enterprise of American scientific So
cieties on Barro Colorado, a large
island in Gatun lake. Canal Zone.
The Smithsonian Institution here was
the prime mover in the establishment,
and DR.. James Zetek, entomologist of
the Department of Agriculture, long
stationed in Washington, will he the
resident custodian.
The object is to provide a supply
base from which expeditions can
start and return, with a we'll equipped
laboratory. where the collections can
be arranged and identified in tropical
surroundings, rather than shipped in
an unorganized mass to Washing ton.
The Importance of this station is
shown by the fact that no less than
six exploring expeditions from Wash
ington have entered the Central
American jungles within the past
year, and number of others are
planned soon.
The station is a one-story screened
building, raised on concrete sup
ports, situated in the midst of a
tropical forest on a hill short dis
tance from the landing place. A chan
mel has been cut through the tree
stumps in the water surrounding the
island, and piers are under construc-
ton here and at Frigoles, the rail-
road station on the mainland. The

PRESIDENT OPPOSES
ALIEN PROPERTY USE
Thinks Money Should Be Held In
tact, Rather Than as Stimu-
liant to Trade.

President Coolidge favors retention
of alien property still held by the
American government, so that it may
be used to satisfy claims or be re-
turned intact to its former owners
rather than its use to finance trade.
Opposing the Dial bill, to use $780,
100000 of the liquid assets of the
alien property to promote exporta-
ton of cotton to Germany, the Pres
ident is satisfied that credit is ample
for the financing of foreign trade
with Germany as we'll as with other
countries.
ANY measure designed to promote
trade with Germany and other Eu-
ropean countries would receive the
Presidents approval, but he believes
that with respect to alien property
it should be retained intact, first to
meet any claims of American gov
ernment, and second to be returned
intact to it's former owners.

fore the Congre ssiona Club yesterday

numbered through rich sequoia for
ests where Pennsylvania avenue and
the smoothly paved highways of the
National Capital now serve modern

The evidence the speaker, one of
the worlds acknowledged authorities
on the subject, submitted to his host
eSges was written by the hand OF
nature herself-the footprints of now
extinct mammals, the fossil leaves OF
species of flowers and trees long ago
exterm minated and stone implements
taken from ancient quarries, where
primitive man Clipped them from
pebbles along Piney branch, all found
in Washington.
IF we follow human history back
at any point in the world we come
always to the stage where written
records end" the speaker said. THE
stories of cities, tribes and races run
out into a past from which we have
left only piles of debris resting in
layers one upon another. Each refuse
heap has it's story, told in the re-
mains of dwellings,, broken imple-

finally, the bones of human beings

Refusal of Builders to Allow

employers until noon today to decide,
threatening to strike unless the de-
