IMMIGRATION
CHANGES WITH

ton opposing any interference with
the present satisfactory immigration
relations with Mexico and other coun-
tries of the western hemisphere" was
adopted today at the opening sessions
of the annual meeting of the Pacific
Transportation Advisory board.
The resolution urged congressional
representatives to fight against legiS-
lation which would place these coun-
tries under quota restrictions. 1t
charged that certain interests" in
congress we're behind the proposal to
bar this class of foreigners.
The preamble stated that Mexico
had given a satisfactory supply" of
labor to industry and agriculture in
this country particularly in California,
and that any change in the present
arrangement would seriously affect the
growers and manufacturers Of the
state
Another resolution, asking congress
to appropriate $4,000 for study of
the chemical change in perishable
fruits shipped across the country, was
adopted
The reports OF all the az COMMODITY
committees, representing agriculture,
horticulture and industry, indicated an
upward trend in Pacific southwest
business conditions for the coming
year. Summarizing these optimistic
reports, Charles E. Virden of San
Francisco, general chairman of the
board, declared:
There is every indication of steady
increase in the volume of carload ship
ments from California Nevada, Ari-
IONA and New Mexico during the first
quarter of 1923. Most of the reports
show. that the car needs of the coming
quarter will exceed the demand of the
same period of last year. We can
take the estimate of car needs of ship
pers as barometer of business ac-
tivities throughout the territory"

NAVAL AVIATOR
AWARDED TITLE
FOR ALTITUDE
Ranch Manager

WASHINGTON Dec. 9 R-Lt
Carlton c. Champion, the plucky navy
flier who refused to leave his ship
after it had developed engine trouble
and burst in flames, has been credited
with having attained the greatest
altitude ever reached by man in a
heavier than air machine. A com.
munication received today by the
National Aeronautic association from
the Federation Aeronautique Inter
rationale, announced that the latter
organization, the recognized arbiter
of aerial records, had accepted
Champions mark as a record.
The Paragraph, which 1t. Champion
risked his life to preserve IN the
periloiis descent, showed after cali.
bration that his plane, Wright
Apache, had reached an altitude OF
38. .474 feet on a flight last July 25
| from Anacostia naval air station here
This did not equal the record OF
4O,82O feet credited to Callizo, a
French aviator. Callizo's record
was nullified after an investigation
conducted by the French government
had revealed that he had tampered
with his Paragraph.
The elimination of his record
caused the recognition of Champions
as the worlds altitude record and
also the altitude record for class c
planes.
At the top of his record-making
flight, cylinder in Champion'i
engine blew out and the engine itseli
burst into flames. Resorting to 9
violent side slip, the pilot was able
literally to blow out the fire, only
to have it burst cut again. He put
the plane into a glide Gand witt

gates behind which have been
damned up old and new ideas Of
senators on legislation were opened
up late today in the senate and an
augmented force of bill clerks was
busy until late in the night fighting
its way to the surface of the ensuing
flood.
Most of the major problems which
are to come before the new congress,
such as flood control, farm relief and
the Boulder canyon dam were in
cluded in the torrent, but the real
depth and breadth was furnished by
pet and private measures, including
hundreds for pensions and relief.
A constitutional amendment to
make even the preparation for war
illegal in this country, a number of
prohibition measures, bills to create
additional judgeships in several states,
measures authorizing the construction
of bridges in almost all sections of
the country were included in the
hamperfuls that went to the govern
ment printing office.
Farm measures were introduced by
Brookhart, republican, Iowa; Robin
son, democrat, Arkansas, and num-
ber of other senators and all will go
to the agriculture committee which
is to begin anew it's efforts to write
a measure acceptable to majority
of the senate.
Among the prohibition measures are
those by Hawes to permit the manu-
facture and export of liquors for
beverage purposes and removing the
restrictions on doctors in prescribing
intoxicants.
Return of alien property held by
the government would be directed
under another bill by Hawes, who
also proposes the creation of a federal
department of conservation with a
cabinet officer in charge.
Measures dealing with cotton trad
ing were offered by Ransdell, demo-
crat, Louisiana, and Caraway, demo-
crat, Arkansas, the former reintro-
ducing his sale of cotton by weight
bill and the latter again proposing
prohibition of the sale or cotton and
