HOUSE ADHERES TO LITERACY TEST Votes Down Motion of Representative Goldfogle to " Eliminate It From the Immigration Bill PRESIDENT IS KNOWN Debate to Continue Today on Amendment to Exclude Mongo- lian, Malay and African Immigrants—New Bill Proposed . Which Would Limit Immigration to Five Per Cent. of Naturalized Citizens of Their Race Here. ‘Washington, Feb. 2.—Tinal action on the Burnett immigration Dbill was postponed again tonight when the house adjourned- after voting down, 173 40 120, a motion of Representative Goldfogle of New York-to eliminate the literacy. test feature of the meas- ure. It was on account of this pro- vision that President Taft vetoed ‘& similar’ measure passed Ry the last tongress. : Wilson, Opposed to Literacy Test. During the day President Wilson let 1t be known that while he would not wmake public his pogition on the liter-. wcy test until he was consulted by the committees of congress, those _who asked him privately for his views found he was opposed to the proposi- tion b he did not believe it was @ fair test of character. Exclusion of Certain Immigrants. ‘Tomorrow debate will continue on an mendment ofteted Dy Eepresentative iyes of California which would in- clude Mongolian, Malay and African immigrants. The modification of this amendment, introduced by Represent- ative Lenroot of Wisconsin, adding the words “unless otherwise provided for in existing agreements as to passport or by treaties, conventions or agree- ments that may hereafter be entered 1nco,” was adopted just before adjourn- ment by a vote of 111 to 90. With tiis change, the proposed legislation would not affect Japanese immigra- tion. B 3 Avoiding Conflict With Treaties. Most of the Pacific coast represent- atives voted for the modification, be- lieving: it would be impossible to se- cure the passage of the goriginal amendment.. The vote was Yreceded by a lively debate n which leaders on TO BE OPPOSED TO IT both sides of the house urged against any legislation that would conflict with international agreements or treaties. Representative Raker of California voted against the amend- ment, stating that he had an under- standing with the immigration com- mitteo under which he was not to press the exclusion of Asiatics as a part of the Burneit bill on the condi- tion that the committee later would report out his pending drastic Asiatic exclusion bill as a separate measure. New immigration Bill. A new immigration bill which its author declared would conserve the material interests of the United States |and at the same time satisfy all for- eign governments by omitting racial references and discriminations was proposed - todsy to President Wilson and Secretary Bryan by Prof. Sydney L. Gulick, . lecturer at the Imperial university of Japan. Professor Gulick advocates the lim- itation of all immigration to 5 per cent. annually of the number of foreigners already naturalized and their Ameri- can-born children. 3 Would Cut Down Asiatic Immigration. “This rate would allow all to enter this country who might come from north Hurope,” he says, “and would cut down immigratior. somewhat from south and east Europs and allow only @ slisht immigration from Asia.” The 5 per cent. rate, he says, would admit no more aliens from any country than the United States can properly issimilate, and the policy “would com- etely solve the Japanese problem and would put America right with all Asia and maintain and deepen international friendship.” EXPECTS NEW HAVEN TO BESTIR ITSELF. Plans.for Reorganization.of Road Dis- " oussed at Washington. Washington, Feb. 2.—Plans for the separation of the New York, New Ha- ¥en and Hartford railroad and its sub- widiary transportation lines was dis- cussed today at a conference between T. W. Gregory and James C. Adkins, attorneys for the deparfment of justice, end Moorfield Storey and Walker Hines, counsel for the road. Although the proposals of the two New Haven lawyers wero listened to carefully, the department made it plain that it expects the New Haven o bestir itself and bring about its promised reogganization in as short time as possible. Attorney General Reynolds did not figure in the discus- sion, but it is said that he feels it is mbout time that the road brought its ®lans to light. { 1t was understood tonlght that the ‘eonterence was largely devoted to the Ruestion of the disposition of the Bos- ton and Maine stock held by the New Haven. It is probable that the'first muggestion of the Toad, that this stock be placed in the hands of trustees, the road run by them and the stock grad- ually disposed of to-others than New Haven stockholders, will be accepted. The plan for a trusteeship for the Boston and Maine may be followed when the d'sposition of the trolleys and outside steamship lines is taken up. The retention of the so-called Sound lines by the New Haven was left temporarily, at least, to the inter- Niate commerce commission by the re- #ent agreement. EMAND RETIREMENT OF CHARLES F.

Speaking tonght at the annual ban- quet, former President William H. Taft defended the courts of the coun- try, and urged members of the bar to combat the “malicious attacks” that are being made upon the courts at this time. Professor Taft declared the pol- icy of tMe progressive party in relation Judi ry is dangerous. He/ lauded the constitution as “the great- est fundamental instrument ever struck from the brain of man,” and said the constitution must be sustain- ed, as it is “the bulwark of all our lib- erties.” Attorney Sherman I. Whipple of Boston, who had preceded Professor Taft, had severely criticised the judi- clal ‘system of today, because it does not make for the fair, thorough trial of cases, but rather tended toward con- cealment, chicanery and trickery. Pro- fessor Taft said he did not agree with Attorney Whipple, and he launched out into an impassioned defense of the courts, after showing that the stabil- ity of the nation depends upon the intelligent and honest administration of justice through its courts.

President Depressed by Visit. Today’s demonstration—not the brass band, the strect procession, the pen- nants and battle flags of the cause— but the tale of hardships of the strug- gle to live on low wages, of the san- | itariums for those who sickened at their work and the heartbreaking trag- edies of poverty—affected the presi- dent deeply.

The secretary explained that he was not an expert in comparing navies, and said he had relied on what experts in the navy had advised him about the | facts. In their questioning the congressmen brought out that three American bat- tleships, the Orezon, Massachusetts and Indians, which tonnage, and of heavier armament than ten listed German battleships, are left out of the Umited States list al- together; and that the vear Book, in- stead of giving the United States 3% battleships built and building, com- pared with Germany’s 39. should have credited the United States with 89 battleships. of heavier total tonnage and armament than Germany.
