TO
RESTRICT
MEX|CANS
Senate Passes Harrison
Bill Holding Immigra-
ton To $500 Yearly
NOW UP TO HOUSE
Amendment r e m owes
Ban From Other South
And Central Americans

WASHINGTON, May 13. WD-
The senate today voted to restrict
immigration from Mexico, passing
without a record vote the Harris
immigration bill which was modi-
fled so as not to restrict immigra-
tion from other central and south
American countries as originally
provided. Senator Harris, Demo
crat, Georgia, it's author, offered
the amendment making the measure
apply only to Mexico. Mexican ini-
migration would be limited to from
1900 to 1900 a year. The bill now
goes before the house.
The amendment by Harris confin-
ing the restriction to Mexico was
adopted 81 to 16. Though the SEN
ate had rejected similar amend
ment a few weeks ago when the bill
was up before, the measure places
Mexico on quota basis under the
national origin immigration act as
applied to European countries.
Chairman Borah of the senate for
eign relations committee urged the
senate not to limit the bill only to
Mexico, warning of the feeling it
would engender in that country.
The Harris bill was unexpectedly
brought before the senate today on
motion of Senator Copeland, Demo-
crat, New York. The senate had
debated it for several weeks earlier
in the spring but finally recommit-
ted it to the immigration commit
tee.
Restriction ON Mexican labor, as
proposed in the Harrison bill, has
been strenuously opposed by leaders
and civic organizations in Imperial
Valley, who see i'll 1t severe hard
ship in the cultivation Of crops here,
Chambers of Commerce and the
Associated Chambers Of Commerce
of Imperial Valley have acted unan
imously in opposing similar bills in
the pas,. The fact that the Harrison
bill must now be acted on by the
house of representatives is expected
to develop much opposition to the
bill in that branch Of congress.
Agricultural leaders here have
pointed out that white labor will
not perform the arduous work in the
fields now performed by migratory
Mexican labor and that if this source
of labor supply is Yimited to- 1900 a
year as the bill proposes, dire con-
sequences may result.

At noon the mercury stood at 80 de-
greeS and gradually will climb to q

this afternoon, the Weather Bureau
prognosticator announced today. Cool
weather will prevail until Sunday,
when, obligingly. it will become warmer
for the benefit of Sunday bathers.

MYSTERY TO COURT
Speak About Christi Only
Information Police Learn
About Couple.

Among things the authorities so far
have not learned about Charles and
Mary are their last names, ages, means
Of support, If they are married, where
they came from and which way they
were headed after they left Police Court
this morning.
For while it looked like Charles
and Mary were headed for the usual
destination of those who enter Police
Court on vagrancy charges, but after
lengthy hearing in which the police
did most of the talking, the Judge re-
leased the two on their personal bond.
For quite a while last night police
officers in No. precinct questioned
Charles and Mary to no effect. Worn
out and bit exasperated. they put
Charles In cell and sent Mary to the
House of Detention. &
Beyond the assertion that they were
abroad to speak to people about
Christ" Charles and Mary had nothing
to say. Charles, clad from his bare
head to his sandled feet in striped, If
somewhat travel-stained, robe, was ar
rested last night at Wisconsin avenue
and M street by Policeman C. A. Bailey
Mary, dressed in much the same
manner, was arrested with Charles.
Vehicular and pedestrian traffic az the
busy intersection was at a virtual
standstill. the policeman said, because
people stopped to see and hear the
pair.
Neither had any money and both
refused to admit they were begging. -
The officers, admittedly puzzled, said
they hoped police court judge could
learn something of the visitors.
