SENATE BASES QUOTA
ON THE 1890 CENSUS
Adopts 2 Per Cent Rate After
Long WrangIe-WouId Let in
$4,000 a Year.

Washington.-Tw per cent Of the
aliens in the United States, as shown
by the 1890 census, would be adj
mitted annually for the next three
years, or about $4,000 a year, under
a decision reached by the Senate
after long and complicated wrangle.
The 1890 census was chosen by a
vote of AZ to 3d. There was no roll
call on the per cent ratio, but it
passed by heavy majority.
Four roll calls were required recent
ly to reach the final decision. On the
amendment of Senator Willis; Repub-
lican, of Ohio, to fix the quota at 1
per cent, there were two votes. Much
confusion ensued as Senators under
took to keep themselves informed Of
what was taking place.
AS the bill was reported from the
committee to the Senate it provided
for 2 per cent of the 1910 census.
Senator Willis moved to make this I
per cent, and his motion carried, "a
to 25.
Then Senator Harrison moved to
cnange the year from 1917 10 1851, ana
his motion carried, AZ to 80.
The Senate then found that it had
voted for / per cent of 1890 which
many of the Senators did not wish to
do. Notwithstanding an agreement
beforehand that opportunity would be
had to vote on the Willis and Harri-
son amendments, the best parliament
tarians were employed in getting the
situation Strengthened out. Finally. it
was decided to reconsider the vote on
the Wills amendment, and reconsid-
GRAFTON was ordered by vote of so

to Sc, which left the bill as it finally
emerged from the tangle-2 per cent
of 1890.

Washington. Without further de-
bate and without a roll call the Sem
ate adopted an amendment to the
immigration bill providing for the
complete exclusion of Japanese, apart
from certain excepted classes.
This followed close on the action Of
the day before, abrogating the gem
tlemen's agreement with Japan. Ths
amendment adopted by the Senate is
the same in effect as the provision al
ready adopted by the House, though
lightly different in language. 1t is
in substance the Shortridge exclusion
amendment.
What President Coolidge will do
clusion amendment is now the most
absorbing subject of speculation in
the capital. The prevailing impress
sion is that he will reluctantly ap-
prove it, although in some quarters
there is talk that he will veto 1t and
stand squarely behind Secretary of
State Hughes on the issue. Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts called on the
President and informed him of the
overwhelming Senate sentiment for
the exclusion provision.
Senate leaders expressed the belief
that the measure would not be dis
approved and predicted that veto
would be useless. The President is
expected to confer with Secretary
Hughes on the delicate issue confront
ing him upon the latter's return from
New York. Mr.. Hughes may urge him
to veto the bill.
Some of the Presidents advisers
who believe he will noe WELD the veto
argue that he could gain nothing by
such a course and that he would
have much to lose politically. They
point to the overwhelming sentiment
in both houses of Congress as an as
surance that the bill containing the
exclusion provision could be passed
over an Executive veto without a
doubt. The Presidents political
friends are convinced that veto of
the bill would automatically kill his
chance of carrying California. Oregon
and Washington in the November
election, even if the bill should be
passed over the veto. Hence, they
argue, with nothing to gain and much
to lose by the veto it would be unwise
to resort to it.
Secretary Hughes, the Presidents
friends declare, understands the stu
alton just as well as any one else
and could not regard the Presidents
approval of the measure as an affront
to him. The controlling force in the
situation is Congress, they urge, and
| it is a Congress determined to carry
out its purpose despite Executive dis
approval
The force of the amendment lies in
the prohibition against admission OF
any alien ineligible to citizenship.
1t does not name the Japanese
specifically.
