|QUOTAS MAY BE
 l CHANGED IN 1927
President Has Right to Alter Immigration Laws

Washington, Aug. 26 LR - Im- migrants admissible to the United States from Germany will be less by about one-half than under present law if President Coolidge carries into effect plans contem- plated by Congress in enacting the immigration act of 1924.
 The quotas of several countries will be cut, many others, including the United Kingdom Ireland, will have their quotas increased.
 The changes are being engross- ing the nationalities affected, al though not operating until July l, 1927.
 Congress provided a new basis for figuring quotas, based on ma tional origin" as described in paragraph (B) of Section l of the 1924 act, thus:
 The annual quota of any na- tionality tor the fiscal year begin ming July l, 1927, and for each fiscal year thereafter, shall be a number which bears the same ratio to 150,000 as the number of in habitants in continental United States in 1920 having that national origin - bears to the number of inhabitants in continental United States in 1920, but the minimum quota of any nationality shall be 100."
 It was further provided that the secretaries of state, commerce and labor, jointly should report to the president the quota of each nation ality, the president to proclaim the quotas on or before April 1, 1927.
 As far as could be learned last night those officials have not yet taken up the matter, nor have the quotas been figured. A table pre- pared when the legislation was un- der consideration explained approXi- mately the manner in which the na- tional origins arrangement would af- feet certain countries.
 Germany, which this year can send 51,227 here, would be entitled on the basis of the statistics gather- ed, to only 22,01S after July l, 1927.
 Griat Britain and Ireland would jump from the present total of 62,- 574 to 91,111.
 There would be increases for Aus tria, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Nether- lands, Russia, Spain, Syria, Turkey and others.
 There would be decreases, in addi- tion to Germany, for Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, France, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Sweden. Jugoslavia, Australia and Switzerland.
 The law provided that if the pro- clamation is not made on or before April of next year the quotas pro- claimed shall not be in effect for any fiscal year beginning before the eX- piration of ninety days after the date of the proclamation. One clause has this provision:
 If for any reason quotas pro- claimed under this subdivision are not in effect for any fiscal year, quo tas for such year shall be deter mined under subdivision (a) of this section"
 That would keep in effect the quo- tas of existing law.
 Some question has been raised as to whether the president must issue the proclamation and executive or der. but this has not been decided.

SHARK HUNTING IS
 LATEST INDUSTRY
Skins Are to Be Gathered for
 Domestic Use

Washington, Aug. 26, - Three men and two girls will start from Washington on Friday in the 59- foot motor boat Advance for the Virgin Islands to hunt sharks and establish a ''shark-reducing" plant. The distance from Washington to St. Thomas, West Indies, is about 1,4o0 miles. From the Virginia Caues, where the Advance will en- ter the Atlantic, the distance is about 1900 miles.
 The leader of the expedition Is Louis Crosette, 3,902 Northampton street, Chevy Chase, District of Co., lumbia, who is president of the United States By-Products com pany, a recently organized concern with headquarters in New York. The other officers are David Mill ton, who married daughter of MT. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, jr., secretary, and Edward K. Dun- ham, whose grandfather is said to have founded the Corn Exchange bank of New York, treasurer.
 Shark skins will be sent to the United States for shoes, handbags and shark-leather products, the fins will be sold in China for eating, the oil sold to drug companies, the teeth for ornaments, and the bones will be ground for mixing with chicken and animal food.
 Others on the Advance will be MT. Crosette's fourteen-year-old daugh- ter, Betty, and her cousin, Miss June Portage, of Surrey, England, 21 years old. The working comple- ment of the little vessel will consist of Captain John Langdon of the Oriole Ocean Steamship Line; Ed ward Bellows of Brattleboro, Vt, and William Smith, of Norfolk, Va, a marine engineer. Captain Lang don was loaned for the epedition by the United States Shipping Board to conform to the law which requires every seagoing craft to carry registered sailing master.
 The expedition of the Advance was the outgrowth of research by the Bureau of Standards and the Bureau of Fisheries into the possi- bilities of making shark-fishing commercially profitable.
