A Ak WASHINGTON, May 16. -Quick, almost perfunctory acceptance in both chambers was forecast for the conference report on the Immigra tion bill today prior to its final con sideration by tbe house, after which the senate will be called upon to act. Including the clause fixing July 1. this year, as the effective date of the Japanese exclusion provision which President Coolidge once prey vailed to conferees to postpone to March 31, 1925, is expected to reach the White House before the end of the present week. Informed by congressional lead ers tbat both the senate and house are certain to pass the bill as it stands. President Coolidge Is giving thought to the action be will take on the measure when it reaches Jhe White House. Tbe president was said today to have reached no decision on the Question. Indications are. however, tbat he is giving thought to these three courses of sctton: Signature of the bill without any statement or declaration; Signature of the bill with an ac companying statement ezpreaslng disapproval of tbe provision In sucn a manner as to mollify offended Japanese sensibilities. Return of the bill to congress without a signature and with a mes sage 'declaring tbe executive's ap proval of all provisions of the meas ure with the exception of the exclu sion art section. Indications were given by some of those close to the president tbat the last two courses are being given the most thought. The expiration of the present Im migration act June 30 and the ap proaching adjournment or congress are tbe complicating factors. WASHINGTON. May 15. Reports of the unusual movement of Japan' ese from Pacific port with a view to hasty marriage and return since approval last month by the bouse of tbe new exclusion policy, hsve re suited In many queries as to the el Igibllity of non-Immigrants to admis sion after temporary absence. Tbe following ruling was made to day by experts who assisted in drswlng up the bill. The bill provides for the admis sion, as a non-qunta Immigrant, of an alien previously lawfully admit ted to the United States who la re turning from a temporary visit abroad. Bueb an alien is expressly exempt- VOTERS GO TO POLLS FRIDAY Oregon's Registered Voters to Express Their Political Preference Tomorrow.

It follows that Japanese desir ing to re-enter tbe United States af ter a temporary sojourn In his native land or elsewhere, is admissible If be was lawfully admitted when he first entered this country and If his visit or sojourn abroad has "boen temporary" within the meaning of the law. The bureau or immigra tion and the department ef labor have construed the word "tempor ary" as meaning a period of time of six months or less. TOKIO, May 15. Speaking at a gathering of Japanese opposition leaders and prominent American residents, including newspaper cor respondents, Cyrus E. Woods, the American ambassador said: "Tbe Immigration bill is not what you want and not what I want.
