PASSAGE IS PREDICTED Statement Relative to Jews Fonn JTot to HaTe Been Made by Hushes but by Consul. WASHINGTON. D. C, April 20. Th Immigration restriction bill drew lire today In tne house, especially from New York members, and wu as vig orously urged by Chairman Johnso of the Immigration committee and other representatives, who declared legislation to keen out undesirable immigrants necessary. Debate will be resumed tomorrow, with a vote expected before adjourn ment or on Friday, while conflden of Its passage, leaders conceded It would not receive the overwhelming vote a similar bill did at the last ses Blon. Leading- the fight on the measure were: Representative Cockran. demo crat: Siegel. republican; Chandler, re publican, and London, socialist, all of New York: Sabath. democrat, Illinois Stevenson, democrat. South Carolina, and Huddleston. democrat, Alabama. , ilr. Cockran declared the bill marked the renunciation and abandonment of the policy which had fixed the post tlon of the United States in the civ. ilized world. Agitator Are Blasted. Representative Siegel charged that propagandists and skillful agitators had done much to bring about the bill. Air. London said that the measure would "strike at the very people we went to war to emancipate" and charged that the bill was an expres aion of prejudice. Representative Chandler declared present laws were adequate to keep out undesirable aliens. Mr. Stevenson criticised the action of Attorney-General aughterty in permitting Eugene V. Debs to divest himself of his prison garb and come here unguarded to seek a pardon. A statement today by the state de partment said that Secretary Hughes "did not make and did not intend to make any recommendations regarding immigration" in transmitting to con gress report from American govern ment agents abroad dealing with the movement of emigrants to the united States. Statement 'ot Hughes'. An Associated Press dispatch last night said that Mr. Hughes had made such a recommendation and he also was quoted as saying "our restriction on Immigration should be so rigid that it would be Impossible for most of these people to enter the United States," reference being made "espe daily to Armenians, Jews, Persians and Russians." As a matter of fact that quotation appeared in a paraphrase of a report Xrom the American consul at Tiflis relating to people in that district, which was among a number of similar reports transmitted to the house and senate immigration committees by Hr. Hughes. Publication of extracts from the government reports was the subject of discussion today in the house, j representative Chandler, republican. New York, who formerly was counsel in the United States for Letvia and Lithuania, took exception to an offi cial government report which said the Letts and Lithuanians seeking to leave for the United States were largely people from the slums, the vast majority of them "Jews of the undesirable type." He declared that whoever made that report "commu nicated to this government that which is absolutely false." Report Thought Unauthorised. "I do not believe Mr. Hughes au thorized this or any similar report," said Mr. Chandler. "It came from abroad. Mr. Hughes is too big and noble brained to consent to anything of that kind." Chairman Johnson said he thought Mr. Hughes had read all of ttfe re ports before sending them to con gress and that he knew he had signed the letter of transmits!. Representative Siegel, republican. New York, Interrupted to say Mr. Hughes signed the letter in the usual course. (strawberry harvest are crystal'zlng.

ASTORIA. Or., April 20 (Spec'al.) A mass meeting of fishermen and ethers interested in the salmon indus try will be held during the coming week to discuss the general fishing situation and particularly some of the recently enacted legislation relating to the fisheries. This was decided upon at the meet ing of the Columbia River - Fisher men's Protective union last night, when a considerable amount of rou tine business was transacted, but no action was taken regarding the prices for raw fish to prevail during the coming season on the Columbia river. One law which will be called to the attention of the mass meeting is that providing a bounty for the killing of 9ea lions. Some of those directly af fected assert this law is class legisla tion and is therefore not constitu tional. They point out that under this act a special tax Is levied upon the fish ermen to pay the bounty, whereas the bounty on predatory animals on land is paid by general taxation. They assert there is no more reason why a fisherman should assist in paying the bounties for the protection of the farmer's livestock than there is for the farmers, in turn, to assist in pay ing the bounty to protect food fish. It is understood that at this coming gathering steps will be taken to bring a suit in the courts to test the validity of this bounty law.

At the time he saw him board a passing automobile Phegley did not know of the shooting. The machine was not a for-hire car, Phegley said. That the suicide note left by Boyd- ton and found among his belongings ate Tuesday night is but a blind to throw officers off his trail until he as a chance to escape is the belief of deputy sheriffs who are making an in- estigation.

St. Johns Property Owners Lead Opposition to Extension Before City Council. A storm of protest greeted the city council yesterday when the proposed extension of Delay street came up for consideration. The city, acting on petitions filed some years ago, proposes to purchase a block of land at Goldsmith and Al hica avenues and thus obtain rights of way for the extension of Derby streets. Buildings occupy the ground, which the city proposes to purchase, and the cost of the purchase Is esti mated at $34,900. City Engineer Laurgaard worked ou. an assessment plan which em braced a district extending into St. Johns. It was the St. Johns prop erty owners who made the principal protest. The assessment in this dis trict averaged from ii to H per lot. The property owners held that they would derive no special benefit from the improvement and urged that if the extension was necessary, the en tire taxpaying body in Portland bear the cost.

"FLUNK DAY" IS DENIED Albany Students Say Faculty Or ders Xot Violated. ALB ANT, Or, April 20. (Special.) Published reports that the so-called "flunk day" at the Albany high school had become an institution recognized by the faculty because the students bad succeeded In observing It are er roneous, according to a statement Is sued today by the Student Body association. The only thing which could give i credence to a report that "flunk day" had become an established institution, students say, is that the faculty had consented that an annual spring hol iday could be observed, beginning this year. The Albany schools' observe no spring vacation, as is the case in many schools, so some time ago it was decided to allow one picnic day in the early spring each year. This rul ing applies, however, to the grade schools as well as the high school and, both teachers and students say, was in no sense a recognition of the so-called "flunk day." Last year most of the students of the high school did absent themselves from school one day on an unauthor ized picnic. All students who did not appear for work, however, were re quired to make up the time lost. NEW DRIVE BEING PLANNED Districts "ot Yet Reached Are to Be Visited for Chest Fund.

CITY'S GROWTH IS NOTED IASG SYNE SOCIETY CELE BRATES PORTLAXDS BIRTH. HOOD PLANS CELEBRATION Civic Clubs to Entertain Visitors .During Strawberry Harvest. TTOOD TtrVEH. Or.,, April 20 (Spe cial.) Elaborate plans for the cele bration pf 'the Rood .River .valley's La In? of Foundations for Big- Business- Enterprises Recalled. W. D. Wheelwright Speaks. One hundred members of the Lang Syne society gathered yesterday noon in the Tyrolean room of the Benson hotel to celebrate the 70th anniver sary of the founding of Portland. As the men chatted during luncheon they recalled the days when there was only one street car In Portland, the days when they started the founda tions of their business enterprises which have grown with the city. "Most of us are entitled to be called builders of this beautiful city and we are proud of it," declared Dr. Norris R. Cox, president, in opening the pro gramme. "We have the same ambi tions and hopes as the newer-comers here and we are filled with the same confidence In the future of the city." W. D. Wheelwright, who made the principal address at the meeting, re called famous men whom he had known directly or indirectly, and re lated many humorous incidents of their lives. Mr. Wheelwright explained that he spent many year in Boston and , its vicinity and so came to know men who have gone down In history. He recalled the early days of the civil war, when he was an adjutant in one of the first Union regiments to enter Baltimore. The society sent greetings to Fred erick V. Holman, who was reported by Dr. Cox to be out of danger now. Frank Dayton arranged the lunch eon. Auto Dealers Organize. CENTRALIA, Wasn.. April VS. (Special.)

BT JOSEPH MACQUEEN. 1NGLEO pleasure and regret much of the former and a little of the latter was expressed by the large audience that attended the concert last night in the Heilig theater of the 'Portland Symphony orchestra. Pleasure because of the musical treat afforded by the concert and the violin solos of Louis Persin ger, and regret because the event was the last concert of the symphony se ries for 1921-22. These concerts have been like frienda, and have been bright spots in the musical life of this city. Nearly all the finely arranged pro gramme is well known to the musical public, and the only novelty was a flute quartet played by Robert E. Milliard, H. G. Knight. Frank V. Badollet and J. C. Abbett. There was a good deal of curiosity expressed about the concert appear ance of Mr. Perslnger, who is con cert master and assistant conductor of the San Francisco Symphony or chestra. and by his brilliant violin playing in Bruch's "Concerto in G Minor, Opus 26," he fulfilled all the enthusiastic things said in advance about bis artistry. A violin student of the great Eugene leave and a graduate of one of the most famous musical conservatories in Europe, Mr. Persinger's violin art is remarkable for his splendid, shining tone, well- grounded technique, gift of rhythm and fine, instant intonation. He played a concerto of tremendous dif ficulty, but did so quietly and easily. He accentuated and brought into being all the different voices that Bruch' created to epeak his impressive message, and made them all vocal. His interpretations also were noted for polish and finish. The concerto takes about 24 minutes to play, and all this time Mr. Perslnger played so ably that he held the rapt attention of his audience. He is easily one of the best native-born violinists of this country. When he finished the con certo the audience gave him a hearty recall, and his reply was "Prelude in G Minor" (Bach), a selection that took some courage to play. Mr. Per singer could have played several other extras, but contented himself with bowing his acknowledgments. Flute quartets are rare at symphony concerts or any other concerts. The selection chosen for rendition last night, "Kuhlau In G Minor," was one remarkable for Its beauty and general attractiveness, and it was played with fine sympathy, purity of tone and good ensemble finish. A rousing en core was its welcome, and the quar tet replied by playing the "Rondo." or last movement of the same compo sition. The Goldmark "Rustic Wedding" suite it is not properly a regular symphony in the sense that the Tschaikowsky "Pathetique" Is lived again in gay. colorful beauty and Joy ous wedling-bell gladness. It took 40 minutes for rendition. The "Pre lude" to Wagner's "Mastersingers," with Its full, opulent scoring and richness of orchestration, was a, joy to hear. It was fairly well played. Carl Denton conducted with much success and he held his orchestral forces well together. The orchestra announces a concert at the University of Oregon, Eugene.
