Children Turn to
Prayer as Scorpions
Inuade Homes

DURANGO. Mex, June 24.-Fiye
thousand children attended a spe-
cial mass in the cathedral here re
Gently. when prayers were offered
for a cessa ton of the plague of
scorpions which has invaded this
district.
From the thousands of dead in
sects which have been brought in to
the municipal authorities attempts
are being made to produce a serum
against the poisonous sting of the
hairy creature. Ten thousand live
scorpions have been shipped to the
Federal Department of Health
The fact that a majority of the
poorer class houses in Durango and
nearby villages are constructed OF
adobe bricks and upholstered is be
Iieved to account for the plague, as
the cracks between the bricks offer
ideal breeding places. Another
theory is that myriads of scorpions
have been driven from the nearby
hills by the recent earthquakes.

DAWES WOULD

STATES RIGHTS
Vice-President Would Not
Curtail Debate When Rights
of States Need Defense.

MANCHESTER. N. H., June "a.
Replying to critics of the Senate
rule reform. Vice. President Charles
G. Dawes maintained that the alb
sence of effective cIoture in the Sen
ate tends to increase rather than de-
crease legislation. He cited statis-
tics of the last few Congresses for
proof in speaking here before the
Chamber of Commerce.
VicePresident Dawes urged SEN
ators who see in the power of
minority obstruction defense against
Federal encroachment of State righ is
to propose a modification of the
rules which would provide major
ity cloture on all questions of ordi-
nary legislation but would permit
unlimited debate on those few oc-
casions when legislation involving
States rights are under considera-
ton
The present rules permit barters
of votes and results in necessity
of a majority to buy off the min
ority secretly, Dawes said.
Chiefly because of filibustering
in the last eight Congresses there
had been seven extra sessions held"
said the Vice-President. This" he
continued. should claim that fill
clustering initiates against null
tiplicity of laws. No one can justly
claim that seven extra sessions did
not result in a large addition to the
laws"
The occasional bursts of speed
of the Senate in passing laws, he
said, is dangerous reaction from
cumulative inaction preceding
them"

REVISED INNIGR1TIDN
LABOR PROVISIONS TO
BE SOUGHT BY DAVIS

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Revis-
ion of the new immigration law to
provide selective system for bring
ing immigrants to this country will
be sought at the next session of
Congress- by Secretary Davis of the
Labor Department. who has juris-
diction over immigration questions.
Chief among the changes proposed
will be one in connection with the
contract labor provisions of the law
under which aliens are not permit
ted to come to this country at pres
ent if they have promise or contract
for employment after reaching these
shores
This provision. in the view of
Secretary Davis. attaches a maximum
risk to emigration from other coun-
tries, and discourages from coming
here the class of immigrants most
desirable to this country. He be.
leves that the hard-workng. sub
stantiaI type of immigrant who has
a family to support is almost barred
under the present law because II
he comes here he must do so blind
ly with no assurance that he may
have employment after arriving.
If such aliens were given assur.
ance of work before leaving their
homelands, the secretary believes
that under proper supervision. such
a plan would induce a higher type
