The Senate immigration committee turped thumbs down yesterday on 17 bills which would have admitted vari- ous classes of aliens without regard 10 quota restrictions, then favorably reported a measure to admit, for a period of one year, aliens now abroad, Who were honorably discharged from the American Army after their service in the World War. Affects 5,000 Men. The bill is designed to take care of about 5,000 former service men who went abroad after the war, and who since have been denied readmission under the immigration quota law. Be- sides the veterans, the measure would admit their wives, and children under 18 years of age. These provisions were attached by the committee to a House bill which would provide for the naturalization of honorably discharged veterans for two years under wartime laws which waived naturalization fees and the filing of first papers. The amended measure is designed to take the place of the Wadsworth- Periman bill, which not only would have admitted the veterans, their wives and minor children, but also their relatives.

Browning's engagement to Miss Heenan was confirmed by his secre- tary on March 31, when it was first learned that he had been seeing the girl frequently. He refused at that time either to confirm or deny it. t Miss Heenan, however, announced their engagement on April 2 and sald they would be married after her six- teenth birthday, in June. Several in- vestigations were started. The Chil- dren’s Society began an inquiry into Browning's relations with the Phi Lambda Tau Sorority, to which Miss Heenan belonged. Acid Attack Probed. At the same time the police were investigating an attack on the girl March 27, when her face and neck were burned by acid thrown upon her as she slept in her mother's apartment. They were unable to dis- cover who threw the acid. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children ordered Mrs. Heenan and her daughter to appear in Children’s Court in an investiga- tion of the fitness of Mrs. Heenan as a guardian for the girl. The case was adjourned for one week on the presentation of a doctor's certificate that Miss Heenan was unable to leave her room because of the burns. Miss Heenan was Browning's sec- ond “Cinderella.” In August, 1925, he had adopted Mary Louise Spas of Astoria to be a foster sister and play- mate to Dorothy ‘Sunshine Browning, 9, whom he had adopted six years be- fore. The adoption was annulled after an investigation had revealed that Miss Spas was 21 instead of 16, as Brown- ing had first thought. Exhibit A. From the London Passing Show.

WEEKS USES AMBULANCE FROM HOTEL: TO TRAIN Illness Not Serious, Physician An- nounces—Formeér Secretary on Way to Washington. By the Associated Pres PASADENA, Calif., April 10.—Al- though his physician said the condi- tion of John W. Weeks was not serl- ous, the former Secretary of War was taken from his hotel to the train in an ambulance when he left for Wash- ington today. He suffered a light heart attack at his hotel here earlier in the day. Mr. Weeks was cheerful and de- clared he was “feeling fine.” He will spend two months in Washington and then go to New Hampshire for the Summer. With him on his Eastward trip were Mrs. Weeks and a party of a half dozen friends. Mr. and Mrs. Weeks returned a few weeks ago from a trip to Hawali. At that time he said his health had been virtually recovered and that he plan- ned to return East and resume his business duties soon. McKINLEY’S DEFEAT WOULD BE BLOW TO COURT’S BACKERS (Continued from First Page.) Smith's campalign, Natlonal Commit teeman Allen F. Moore, has issued a statement claiming Smith will carry the State by at least 100,000. The McKinley managers claim the same margin of victory in a statement to night. The sample ballots put out by the Deneen group for Cook County all carry the cross opposite McKin ley's name. Deneen, it will be re- membered, himself carried Cook County by 5,000 in his primary con- test for the senatorial nomination against the late Senator Medill Mc Cormick two years ago, when the Crowe-Barrett fhction was supporting McCormick. Mr. Moore insists’ that Smith will carry Cook County and down State. So far as the “down State” vote iw concerned, the Smith managers insist that the colonel will be found far out in front when the vote is counted. They say the sentiment among the farmers has swung against McKinley and that he must suffer for discontent in_agricultural sections. Further, they say the World Court is unpopular outside of Chicago, just as it is in Chicago. When Senator McKinley Col. Smith for the senatorial nomina tion in 1820, McKinley lost Cool County by about 88,000 votes and car ried “down State” by something like 100,000. Conditions and party alignments have changed a good bit since that time, however. McKinley Gains Strength. In recent weeks, Senator McKinley has been gaining strength. When Col. Smith first seized on the World Court issue, and Senators Borah of Idaho, Reed of Missouri and Ship stead of Minnesota, came into the State and denounced the court, term ing it the League Court, the issue caught on quickly. The McKinleyites found it difficult to explain just how the World Court was separated from the league., On the other hand, the peopie had no difficulty in under- standing the plain statement of the antl-courters that entry into the court meant into the league. Senator McKinley and Senator Deneen, however, have - countered with the charge that Col. Smith is lined up against President Coolidge and. that to elect Smith will be to admit that fact to the insurgent group in the Senate, with whom the adminis- tration has its difficulties now. “Vote for McKinley and back the President” is their slogan. It has not been without its effect. Col. Smith, on the other hand, pooh-poohs the sug- gestion that he can be considered a Republican insurgent and refers to his work for the election of President | Coolidge in 1924, when he was Re- publican State chairman, an office’ which he still holds.
