THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1921 AUTOMOBILE STAGE MED Station ion Park Block Is Be lieved Feasible. SEVERAL SITES EXAMINED (Project Proposed by Council Mem bers, It Is Believed, Would Relieve Congestion. Establishment of n automobile ptugre terminal op. the park block tounded by Burnside, Couch. Park and West Park streets to be operated by the city of Portland, was proposed by members of the city council yes terday following an Inspection of sev eral proposed terminal sites. The only obstacle to the plan at present is the possibility that pro- Tisions in the donation deed of this property might prevent the city using the block as an automobile terminal. City Attorney Grant has been re quested to investigate this phase of the subject, and unless such a pro vision is encountered. It is expected that the council will authorize es tablishment of the terminal. It is proposed that the city erect a small passenger station and provide for revenue from the stage lines op erating from the terminal sufficient to care for its maintenance. With such a plan in operation city officials believe they would be able to control tie automobile stage business. CsBKritloa Relief Sent. If the terminal Is established, as planned, no stages will be permitted to stand on streets in Portland. All stages would be required to use the city terminal at all times and it is believed that such a plan would greatly relieve the downtown con gestion. Members of the city council also be lieve that if it is decided to revoke stand permits now held by for-hire cars and taxicabs, provision could be made for these cars in an adjoining park block. City Commissioner Barbur advocates the widening of the downtown streets, as well as the removal rt commercial cars, as the best solution of Portland s traffic problem. Mr. Barbur holds that the present streets were laid out for a village and that they must be widened to accom modate the business of a growing city. Old Plaa Inadequate Now. "Seventy years ago our downtown streets were planned, said Commis fioner Barbur. "Quite naturally the men who laid them out had no idea that Portland would develop into large city. Portland must widen Its main arteries to care for business needs. If this is not done now we will be forced to condemn business blocks a few years hence to get re lief" The city council will tackle the for hire car problem next Tuesday after noon. Not many days later the entire traffic adjustment plan will reach the council, and it is believed that before June 1 Portland will have a complete traffic code so far' as park ing of cars is concerned. Agitation for several years hag crystallized to such an extent that there is now a demand that the city council take up the traffic problem and solve it. Several times Mayor Baker has attempted to lead the way In a traffic readjustment, but on each occasion members of the council have blocked his efforts. $45,000 In curing water supply from Trout creek.

MEXICO RADICALS BUSY Elaborate Preparations Made for May Day Celebration. MEXICO CITV, April 21. Elaborate preparations for May day celebrations throughout Mexico are being made by radical elements and In some quarters there is apprehension that the ob servance of the day may lead to disorders. Government authorities, while In clined to look on the demonstrations as mere outlets for radical enthu siasm, are prepared to meet any emergency. Linn A. E. Gale, an American radical, expelleC from Mexico April 1, as a pernicious foreigner, has re turned to this city, according to an parently well authenticated report References to Undesirable Aliens, Attributed to Secretary Hughes, Quotations From Reports. WASHINGTON. D. C. April 21 Final action In the house on the tem porary Immigration bill, with indi cations of its passage by a large ma jority, was In prospect tonight after the house, sitting in committee ot the whole, had voted down numerous amendments. The bill would limit aliens seeking admission to the United States to 3 per cent of each nationality registered by the 1910 census, and would be in effect for 14 months. One amendment was adopted per mitting aliens suffering religious per secutions to enter the country in ex cess oi tne 3 per cent specined, pro vided they presented satisfactory proof of their admissibility to the Immigration officials. I investigation by the house immigra tion committee of conditions at Ellis Island was urged In the house today by Representative Dowell, republican. Iowa. He read a letter from Governor Kendall of Iowa, charging that Mrs'. Lucia Leo, wife of Frank Leo, Des Aioines, cnel as a result of exposure and neglect to which she was sub jected on her arrival from Europe with her young child. The letter said Mrs. Leo was de tained at Ellis Island ten days and "no provision made for her comfort or convenience." Mrs. Leo died short ly after joining her husband. It was added, and the husband, worried by her death, has disappeared. Protests Deluge Secretary Hughes. Protests are continuing to be made to the state department as a result of an Associated Press dispatch which Incorrectly stated that Secretary of State Hughes had recommended to congress rigid restrictions on immi gration, and had characterized immi grants of certain nationalities, among them Jews, Letts. Lithunians, Rus sians, Armenians, Persians and others, as undesirables. In reply to all these the state de partment Is pointing out that Secre tary Hughes made no recommenda tions whatever, and made no charac terization of any class of Immigration. His letter to Representative Johnson of Washington, chairman of the house immigration committee, was purely a formal one, transmitting "paraphrased abstracts of reports concerning immi gration received from officials of this government who have been abroad." it was in the appendix of paraphrases, prepared by a bureau of the state department, that certain classes of immigrants were characterized un favorably and that certain abstract recommendations of agents were re ferred to. Reports Simply Quoted. The statement that the recom mendations were those of Secretary Hughes, and that the characteriza tions were his own, was an error, which the Associated Press regrets and in fairness to Mr. Hughest readily acknowledges of Its own accord. The paraphrase of the reports con ceded that 'there are, of course, many individual exceptions" to the classes which were characterized as undesir able immigrants, but the congress men, nevertheless, take exception to the document. While Secretary Hughes personally signed the letter of transmittal, it is understood that he did not personally read the reports which were attached in the usual manner in which replies to congres sional requests for information are prepared. Although officials who prepared the paraphrases edited them vigor ously, they are frank in saying they teel now they did not edit them vigorously enough. The original re ports in some instances went much farther than the paraphrases in the characterizations which are being objected to. ' , Here you are, boys!

NAME F0RR0SE WEEDED Choice to Be Made From Sugges tions of Royal Itosarians. A committee composed of Mayor Baker, Judge Robert G. Bean and Jesse A. Currey has been appointed by the department of agriculture to select a suitable name for the new climbing rose produced by Dr. W. Van Fleet, an expert of the department. The rose is to receive Portland's gold medal award and be christened dur ing the Rose Festival this year.
