YOUTHS TO HEAR FATE
IN POISON CHARGE CASE
Attorney, Allegedly Marked as Vic.
tim, Plans to Announce Action
Course Today.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa, March
29.-County Attorney Roy L. Pell yes
terday said he expected to announce
today what action would be taken in
the case of Harold Grimes and Ross
Campbell, youths who are being held
pending investigation into what police
say was an attempt TO poison Pell.
Police charge that the pair put poi
son in two bottles of near beer and
placed the beer i'm an automobile be-
longing to a business man, but which
they believed belonged TO Pell.
Enough poison to kill a dozen men
was found in the beer, police said.
Grimes, they declare, told them he
bought the poison, but claims the pur-
chase was made for another man. who
put it into the beer. He is alleged
to have told Campbell, his hrother-in-
law, what he had done.
Police advance the theory that the
poison was placed in the beer in an
effort to obtain revenge for Pell's
prosecution of liquor cases in which
Grimes was involved

TOU. S. ABOLISHED
Johnson Notes Continu.
GUS Demand on Congress
for More Restriction.
BY the Associatcd Press.

NEW YORK, March ga predic-
ton that immigration into the United
States will be abolished within 25
rescntative Albert Johnson of the
State Of Washington, chairman Of the
House immigration committee and au-
thor Of the per cent quota law.
Each Congress, he said, 'is trim
ming down the number of immigrants
entering the United States because of
a natural demand for more and more
restriction" He said the process is
bound to go oil, despite all opposition.
This movement is general" he
said, from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, from the Canadian border to
Mexico New York and the Pacific
Coast States ere not the only sections
of the country to discover the disad-
vantage of getting mixed up with
problems imported from Europe and
Asia
The next rational steps in the
process of restriction, he believed,
would be cutting down the 2 per cent
quota by 1G per cent each year for
five years, until it is half the present
scale; restriction of those coming from
Canada and Mexico, and the refusal
to admit heads of families unless
their wives and children can be pro-
vided for in the quota of, the same
year.
Within the next 10 years, johnson
said, he expects to see New York
with a population Of 100000. "It
already has 2000,00 people too many
for comfortable living" he said.

RATES ON PIE AND BEAN SOUP
MOUNT AT SENATE RESTAURANT
Statesmen Who Remain in Washington
and Capitol Officials Find Living Higher
Since Congress Adjourned

The cost OF senatorial living has
gone up since Congress adjourned. In
creased prices of pie and bean soup,
and separate charges for bread n The
Senate restaurant are the direct cause.
The filibuster which prevented the
pas sage Of the deficiency bill in the
closing hours of the last session is a
contributing cause
Those Senators who still remain in
Washington. and clerks and officials
at the Capitol, not to mention visitors,
are paying more for their luncheons
than they did while Congress was in
session. They are helping to make up
the deficiency on the restaurant which
Congress failed 20 care for when the
deficiency bill died.
Takes Step to Avoid Loss.
While Senator's lincer in Washing
ton and go to their offices at the Capi-
tol day after day, it would be hard
ship to cut out the restaurant. SO 1t
continues to operate But it cannot
operate at a loss, and no money has
been appropriated to meet a loss. So
up went the prices.
No kicks have been registered eX-
cept on the increase for bean soup
and pie. which are now die closed as
the fundamentals of senatorial food
stuffs.
