COMET NEAR EARTH
Heavenly Body Can Be Seen
With Naked Eye Soon.
By Science Serrice

By Science Sorrfce
BERKELEY, Cal, May 1.-THE
new comet discovered recently by
the German observers Schwassnann
and Wachmann may become visible
to the naked eye on June /. and
certainly will be diScernible with the
aid of small telescope or a pair
of good field glasses.
The last few nights of May and
the first few nights of June viii be
great times for the army of anna
teur telescope fans who make and
use their own rejecting telescopes.
With instruments of this type, the
new comet easily can be seen If one
knows where to find 1t.
The orbit of the new comet has
been calculated by F. L. Whipple
and Phyllis Hayford of the stu
dents observatory of the University
of California, under the direction Of
Professor r. T. Crawford.
Their preliminary results indicate
the comet will reach its maximum
brightness on June 1, when it will
be only 100000 miles away. This
is very close for another celestial
body to approach the earth, much
closer than any comet has been for
many years.

MEXICAN IMMIGRATION
BILL TO GET ACTION
House Committee to Report Out
Measure, Despite Protests.

Measure, Despite Protests.
By ScrippS-HoIodrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, May 17.-Over
protest of the state department,
the house immigration committee
Monday will report out the Box
bill which drastically reduces i'm
migration from Mexico and puts it
under the national origins quota.
The Box bill practically is the
same as the Harris bill that passed
the senate this week by a vote Of
almost four to one.
The Box bill would allow 1882
Mexican quota immigrants to enter
this country annually. The Harris
bill allows entrance of approx
mately the same number.
Up until the last year, immigra-
ton from Mexico has averaged
about $1,000. But within the last
ten months strict enforcement of
the existing law by the state de-
partment has reduced that figure
greatly. In April. for instance, only
about $50 immigrants entered.

TEXANS PLAN
FOR DIVISION OF
STATE STUDIED
North to Follow Step If
Proposal Goes Into
Effect.

BIZ Scripps-H otcGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, May II. - If
Texas follows Representative John
Gamers plan of dividing into five
states, in order to gain additional
representation in congress, imme-
date steps to Offset this gain will
be taken in the north, 1t was pre-
dicted here today.
The Garner plan would give the
territory, which now is Texas, ten
senators instead of two, and several
additional members in the reap
portioned house of representatives.
If the Democratic party makes
the gains it is expected to make in
the coming elections, this difference
might be enough to give Democrats
control of the senate at least.
Can Subdivide Freely
ANY definite indication that this
might happen probably would cause
the present congress to look with
favor on requests that have been
made in the past for permission to
carve several new states out of the
boundaries of old ones.
Texas can subdivide at will, under
the terms on which she entered the
Union, but all other states must
have permission of congress and in
the past this never has been forth
coming.
However, st. Louis and Chicago
both have conducted active cam
paignS for statehood apart from the
rural districts of Missouri and ILL
nois, and other large eastern cities
are ready to follow their lead, ap-
parently, If the opportunity is Of
fered.
CALIFORNIA; Move Quickly
There has been much talk in
California from time to time Of di-
viding that state, and CaliforianS
here we're quick to revive it when
the Texas plan was presented.
Other western states have Suff1-
Gent area to talk of division on the
basis Texas has, even without great
er population.
Any such rake for representation
between the different parts of the
country probably would have for its
basis the prohibition issue. Texas
new senators would add great
strength to the dry representation
in congress, while If separate state
hood were granted any of the large
cities, they probably would elect wet
senators and representatives.

while Diana spanked beauty

At the second, Glenna pulled

13 to 5 favorite today to defeat
Willie Lamorte. of Newark, N

Madison Square Garden tonight
The bout is billed as for the

Wolgast was a heavy favorite
because of his superior boxing
ability. The experts said La

catch Wolgast sleeping and put

from the floor.
