FEDERATED INDUSTRIES OF WA John H. McIntosh, ¥ Sept 19: AINGTON anager —Bulletin No, 620. All Members: ‘ You who are somewhat conversant with the immi- gration question, and who realize it is closely inter- woven with many other of our industrial and business problems, will be interested in the following telegram ea Congressman. Ibert Johnson at Washington, Fs 6 “Have decided on complete new immigration, naturalization and Chinese bill, to be known as immigration code, which will be so that all can understand, It will be drawn with the loopholes knocked out, and will be fair to all the United States. Kindly advise Washington businessmen.” It is indeed good news to know that Congressman Johnson, who is chairman of the immigration commit- tee of the lower house of congress, has assumed a more moderate attitude on this all-important problem. We are not in a position to give his telegram strict in- terpretation, but it is safe to assume his views now are nearer the views of industry generally. We suggest that our members write to Mr. Johnson commending his determination to draft and present to congress a new immigration code, and in the same letter urge him to embrace in the measure provisions which will admit into the United States a reasonable number of able-bodied Europeans who are thoroly qualified and intend to become desirable citizens of this country, and by so doing help to supply the necessary labor for the hand work of the nation. Yours very truly, JOHN H. McINTOSH, i Manager. 04 Note: Congressman Johnson's wire was directed to one of the big men of this state, who has been aiding our efforts to bring about modification of present re- strictive immigration law.

Indications were that the vase will not finally come to a close until Friday, as Judge Hall expected to adjourn court early Thursday after- noon to attend a funeral. Judge Hall rebuked Mrs. Burckhardt on the —_ witness stand Wednesday for charging her husband, the three maids who testi- fied against her character, and two Seattle policemen with having per- jured themselves, In the rebuttal testimony of her divorce hearing, Mrs. Burckhardt said the maids had lied about her affairs with other men; that her husband, Frederick Otto Burckhardt, had lied when he said she was ad- dicted to the use of intoxicants. When she also charged the two Seat- tle policemen whom she called to her home the night Maurice Galpin was found in the attic, with being “lars,” Judge Hall rebuked her, say- ing one witness should not use the term in speaking of another.

EDDYVILLE, Ky., Oct. 4—A hail of machine gun, rifle and pistol fire, turned loose today on the stronghold where three con- victs were besieged by soldiers, guards and citizen volunteers, failed to dislodge the mutineers from their position, The mess hall, in which the convicts were holding out, was riddled with hundreds of bullets. After the 15-minute attack, things quieted down for several hours. Occasional sniping from the mess hall windows was eyi- dence that at least one, aid pos- sibly all of the men, had escaped the storm of lead. The besiegers replied with rifle shots. A hand grenade attack then was decided upon by Captain © Radford and Warden Chilton. A. upply of grenades was being awaited this afternoon. ‘The state troopers ana guards for 15 minutes sent bullets crashing jnto the brick walls-and thru the ‘win- dows, which had been barricaded by — |the beleaguered mutineers. with fur- | niture. o s When firing was ordered stopped | Capt.
