NATIONAL ORIGINS
 BEFORE COMMITTEE
Repeal of Immigration Law Faces Stubborn Senate Fight

Washington, April g IR - The move for repeal of the national origins provision of the immigra, ton act reached the committee stage today, Chairman Johnson having called the senate immigra- ton committee to begin considera ton of this part of the administra- ton program for the special session.
 Despite the recommendation of President Hoover for suspension of stubborn fight is in prospect with Senator Reed, republican, Pennsyl- vania. confidently leading the con- test for retention.
 Both parties in the senate are di- Nided on the issue and the fight is likely 10 be a vigorous one, with the time element playing an important part. The new quota basis, limiting immigration to 150,O00 annually, goes into effect July 1.
 Senator Nye, republican, North Dakota, has reintroduced the bill of Senator Shipstead, farmer-labor, Minnesota, for repeal and his own measure for postponement. Senator Shipstead is ill Senator Walsh, democrat Massachusetts. likewise has introduced repeal measure.
 The present immigration quotas allow admission of two per cent of the number of nationals from each European country who were living in the United States in 1890. About 1GS.0o0 enter annually. Under the national origins provision. the quo tas would be fixed 10 maintain the ratio of nationalitics in the United States in 1924 with consideration given to the racial makeup of the nation since 179O The estimated uuotas on this basis give Grea' Britain an increase and cut down the allotments for Germany and the Scandinavian countries.

FIGHT, SHAKE AND THEN FIGHT AGAIN
Old Friends Cannot Explain Why
 They Hit Each Other

John Timko and William Mitchell are friends of long standing and harbor no ill feeling against each other. but they were found at the corner of Lawlor and North streets shortly after 10 o'clock last night whaling away like a couple of rough and tumble fight champions, with the result that they were arrested on charges of drunkenness, breach of the peace and assaulting each other.
 In police court today, Timko, who is 34 years of age and lives at 5S West Main street, pleaded guilty to the drunkenness charge and said he did not recall anything about the fight, while Mitchell, who is 80 years of age and a former resident of 615 West Main street. admitted that he was intoxicated and although ha could not recall the fight, he pleaded guilty. saying he must have been making a disturbance or he would not have been arrested.
 Joseph Tansky of l94 Oak street testified that he saw Timko and Mitchell walking along North street together and suddenly stop. square off, and pummel each other for few minutes, after which they shook hands and walked d little farther down the street, where they stopped and resumed the bout. Officer Giuseppe Gigliotti testified that Tim ko had Mitchell down on the ground and both were covered with blood. Timko said he met Mitchell Ia>' night and was surprised to learr that they lived on the same street. Mitchell had a bundle which Timko volunteered 10 carry and they start ed out from Broad street. What caused the fight. he was unable to say. and when Assistant Prosecuting Attorney w. M, Greenstein asked him where he got his drink. h. grinned sheepishly and replied: Il was drunk, that's all.'
 Mitchell said he has been ac- Quainted with Timko for 20 years, having worked with him and for him, and there was no reason that he knew of for the fsticuffs. Judge TraCeshi fined each of the fighters s10 and costs.

"PAOLO AND FRANCESC A" By STEPHEN PHILLIPS
 (Cast of Charactersn
IEN Herald EeNieNerl

tBy Herald RevieWer)
 Ever since 1906 when Sir Henry Irving toured in a revival Of 'Paolo and Francesca the American pull lie has been deprived of this notable work by stephen Phillips. In va-l ous versions it had been presented by stalwarts of the stage, including Duse, Otis Skinner and Lawrence Barrett. It remained then for Miss Jane Cowl to reveal to the present generation of theatergoers the
 beauty and tragedy of this thir-
 teenth century tale.
 Miss Cowl, assisted by Sir Guy
 Standing, Philip Merivale and Miss Katherine Emmett, is offering the Phillips opus at Parsons theat"r.
 The company's first appearance last
 evening was signallized by re-
 markable demonstration at the con-
 ClusIon of the performance in which the audience paid striking tribute
 to the qualities of the cast and the play.
 i Not for the multitude is "Paolo ! etili T dIESSGd. IL IS as lar Tt- moved from ordinary theater fare , as are caviar and pate de toi gras
 removed from corned beef and ab- ! bage.
 i The current production is in har- mony with the finest traditions of
 the histrionic art. It is one of i those rare events for which those
 who drink deep at dramas foun- 1 tain wait seemingly in vain only
 to have the stream gush forth when i hope has almost been abandoned. 1 During last evenings presenta- ton the auditors sat enthralled and ! breathleSs, carried back seven ceu-
 tures by the illusion. Miss Cowl l portrayed Francesca with fragile beauty. Her sensitive interpreta- ton was fascinatingly real. Sir Guy
 was q towering. gigantic Giovanni. haunted by suspicion Of his wifi and younger brother, pitiful after his act Of vengeance. MT. Meriyale
 handled his situations with fidelity. As Paolo, torn with love for .hn pale Francesca. his task presented difficulties which he surmountei convincingly. Miss Emmett was cast as Lucrezia. whose whisperings frs:
 poison the mind Of Giovanni against i Pao!o. In the last act when starved mother love instead of foul jealousy
 stirs her breast. her portraiture of . Lucrezia was brought forwarl
 sharply and compellngly. Miss Jessie Ralph has the part
 of Angela. the blind nurse whose visions and torebodings of disaster
 in the household Of Lord Giovanni provide a gripping moment. Miss Joyce Carey is cast as Nita. 1 The settings were designed by 1 Eleanor Rustic.
 1 "Paolo and Francesca" will hn
 repeated tonight and tomorrow night. A matinee will be given :o-
 morrow.
