Passage of the Johnson immigra- tion bill, introduced In the House by Representative Johnson of Washing- tom, chairman of the House committee B limmigration and naturalization, was urged today by Secretary of Yabor Davis. The measure vrovides 16r the weeding out of inadmissible allens before they leave their home Ceuntries through selection by repre- Sentatives of the United States at ports of embarkation. Two _special ggents would be stationed at each of + ,the principal ports under the measure —one a member of the public health service and the other an experienced immigrant inspector. Selection of Immigrants, according to Mr. Dayis, will operate through the use of a vise system which requires the immigrant to procure from his jevernment a passport presented to an Americ officer for vise before th York are directly traceable to Island. The great pity the present method of migration there is no assurance the immigrant when he leaves country that he will be permitted to land, or if he be permitted, that part his family will not be deported back to the country from which they started.” “Every effort is being made to hu- manize ‘the machinery of immigrant inspection at Ellis Island,” the Secre- % tary said.

MARIE, August 24.— Chase 8. Osborn, former governor of Michigan, was recelving con- gratulations today on the success of his fortieth bear hunt. The animal, one of tbe smallest bears the former governor has captured, was choked to death by Mr. Os- born off his summer home on Duck Island, in St. Marys river, after a twenty-minute battle. Mr. Osborn sighted the bear from the shore and went out alone in a rowboat to meet it. a shot with his pilatol, weapon jammed and as the ani- mal attacked the boat the former governor swung_at it with a woodsman’s ax. Several times the bear was half over the side of the boat and threatened to over- turn it. A well directed blow from the ax, however, caught the animal alongside the head. It was hang- ing over the side of the boat in a dazed condition when Mr. Os- born dropped the ax and finished the battle by choking it to death. Mr. Osborn, who is sixty-one years old, has hunted big game in all parts’ of the world. He said today the bear put up one of the most desperate fights he has ex- perienced, but that he enjoyed it {mmensely. The animal's hide will be added to the fermer governor's exten- sive collection of trophies gath ered in the jungles throughout the world.
