ALIEN OFFICE lI 10 STAY 0pEN
 AL SATURDAY

Blanks for the registration Of aliens arrived by airmail this af- ternoon from Seattle and Post master Albert Vile announced that the alien registration office on the first floor of the Federal Building would be open tomorrow until 5:30 o'clock to accommodate those who have net yet registered.
 Aliens who are not registered by December 26 face heavy fines and stiff jail sentences.
 Word was received last night by Gov. Ernest Gruening that Fiji r,nos, though not aliens, are re- qllircd under the alien registration act to register before December 26. As Filip.nos are nationals" said an announcement from the Cover nor's office. it is wholly natural for them not to expect inclusion under this law. However, any Fili- pino failing to register is subject to fine of $1,000 or imprison- ment for six months or both.

 A piano duet was played by Bob Phillips and Grace Berg and twelve singing debutantes added charm to the program with their selections. A flute duet was also given in good style by Misses Maydelle George and Dorothy Fors.
 Probably one of the most out standing numbers on the program was "Jubilate, Amen" Miss La nore Kaufman was soloist, with the Girls Glee Club forming background of music for the selec- ticn. Another number worthy Of mention was the mixed chorus in depreciation of Silent Night" with an echo quartet composed of Bar bara Smith, Pat Shaffer, James Johnson and Bob Phillips.
 Accompanies for the evening were Misses Sylvia Davis, Shirley Davis and Anna Lois Davis.

Bitter Primary Fight
Seen in Illinois as
Democrats Split
Regular Organizations
Harmony Slate Is
Opposed by Faction
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. 20-Defections in
the Illinois Democratic ranks
created a cleavage in the party to-
day and presaged bitter battle be-
fore the primary election votes are
counted April 9.
Out of the break in party har-
mony came an alliance of forces op-
posed to the slate fashioned by the
State Central Committee, Mayor
Edward j. Kelly of Chicago, Ma
tional Committeeman P. A. Nash
and Gov. Henry Horner.
The rebellious faction entered
nomination petitions before the
deadline last midnight after assailing
the regular organizations "har-
mony" slate as "handpicked" and
the product of bosses"
The first serious break in the
ranks was 1t. Gov. John Stelle's
decision to bolt the harmony" slate
on which he had been picked to run
for reelection. He chose instead to
oppose State Chairman Harry B.
Hershey for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation.
State Auditor Edward j. Barrett,
dropped from the regular" slate,
decided to defy the party chieftains
by filing for denomination. State
Senator George Maypole Joined the
"anti-organization" forces by enter
ing as a candidate for lieutenant
governor.
United States Senator James M,
Slattery. the regular" candidate.
found himself opposed for the sena-
torial nomination by two youthful
aspirants, State Representative S.
Adamowski and Gael Sullivan. Mr..
Adamowski, 80, the party's leader in
the House, was expected to be listed
on the Stelle-Barrett slate. Mr..
Sullivan, IS, is confidential assist
ant to Mayor Kelly and Illinois Ma
tional Committeeman for the Young
Democratic organization.
Mr.. Sullivan's entry produced the
biggest surprise in the rapid political
developments. Pending denial,
political observers took for granted
that he acted with Mayor Kelly's
authorization, despite the mayors
approval of Senator Slattery as a
harmony" candidate.
Senator Slattery declared in
Washington that he had no inten-
ton of dropping out of the primary.

Bioff Is in Chicago;
Plans Made 10 Jail
Him on Old Sentence
Detectives Take Movie
Labor Leader in Custody
As He Arrives by PIone
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HICAGO, Feb. 2O.-William
Bioff, motion picture labor leader,
arrived here by plane today and was
taken into custody by detectives,
who were instructed to take him to
the Criminal Courts Building. Ar
rangements were made to commit
him to Jail to complete an old six
month sentence for pandering.
1T looks like persecution" Bioff
commented before he entered a po-
lice squad car. why bring this
up after 18 years? It looks like
I've been doing too much for the
working man. Perhaps the big fell
lows are after me-"
BiOff was convicted of pandering
here in 1922. He served eight days
but was released pending the out
come Of an appeal to the appellate
court. When the appellate court
affirmed the sentence Bioff's attor-
neys announced they would appeal
to the Illinois Supreme Court. Court
records disclosed no further steps
in the case, and it was forgotten
until efforts were begun recently to
return him to Chicago.
His eXtradition was approved last
week by CALIFORNIA; Gov. Culbert
Olson, but Biof elected to come
here and surrender.
1t was indicated Bioff would make
q legal fight against incarceration.
In Los Angeles last night United
States District Judge Ralph E.
Jenney, in an extraordinary court
session, granted the plea of
Bloff's attorneys to release him
from Federal jurisdiction. He has
been at liberty under $4,000 bond,
scheduled to face trial next May %
on charge of evading payment of
$4,000 in income taxes in 1861.
'Tt seems to me that in the best
interests of the public, the Gov
ernment should permit the State to
assume the body of the defendant" F"
Judge Jenney declared. adding that
at any time Federal authorities
might return him here.
The labor leader has been engaged
for several days in negotiations with
motion picture producers over re-
linquishing 10 per cent wage in
crease granted $4,000 studio workers
last October.
