JOHNSON BILL CAUSE OF MUCH DISCUSSION EMBARGO PERIOD WILL REDUCED BE Amendment Exempting Philippines From Application of Measure Is Adopted WASHINGTON. Dec. 10. Amendment of the Johnson bill to reduce the two year prohibi tion against immigration to the United States to fourteen months and charges that foreign govern ments are "financing the move ment of radicals to the United States" marked another, day of de bate in the house on, immigration Igeislatlon. Adoption by a vote of 8T to 25 of the amendment offered by Rep resentative Mann to reduce the embargo period was a surprise to advocates of the legislation and constituted the first, victory for Representative Siegel.- Republi can, New York and Sabath, Dem ocrat, Illinois, leaders of the dppo. sition. Proponents or the .- bill, however, said they were confi dent of favorable disposition cf the measure before adjournment tomorrow. The Mnn . amendment actually limits the restriction period to one year. As amended the bill cannot be enforced for tWOl fSl!!!."9..1111? can be applied only 14 months from the date of passage. Another amendment by Repre sentative Mann exempting the Philippines from application of the measure was adopted by a viva voce vote. Representatives Mann and oth er influential members announced their opposition to the bill. Rea sons given included charges of lax ity against the administration in enforcing existing, laws; that the bill was extreme' and radical, leading to permanent restriction of immigration; that it would de ny asylum to "oppressed peoples' including the Irish and return them to "tyrannical governments" J for punishment. ARMORY ASKED AT SILVERTON Delegation Pleads With County Court, But Money Is Not Available Silverton wants an armory building. A large" delegation of its citizens was in the city yes terday urging an appropriation of $10,000 from the county funds," which amount : added to that raised by the city, would warrant the state appropriation and an armory for Silverton could be as sured. The county court received the delegation, and after listening to the appeal, decided that, much as it would like to concede tp the wishes of the Silverton people, it " was powerless to act for the reason that funds are not avail able. The delegation was composed of Maj. Eugene Moshberger. of Woodburn, Capt. Grover Todd, L. J. Adams, T. P. Reinstegen, L. C. Eastman. Carl Moser, R. G. Al len and Jultu3 Aim. A committee representing the Community club of Silverton was also in conference with the court yesterdajf for the purpose of lending influence in, securing a bee inspector for Marion county.

"What CASE OF GANGSTERS IS "DISMISSED BY DEATH" CURIOUS THRONGS VIEWED BODIES OF MURDERERS Dramatic Scene Occurs in Court When Cases of Men Are Called By Judge Sewell SANTA ROSA. Cal.. Dec. 10. Throngs of the curious, many of th'em wearing little bows of hem pen strands, which they said were from the lyncher's rope, viewed the bodies today of George Boyd, Terence Fitts and Charles Va lento alleged gangsters and murderers, who were banned to a lone tree at Rural cemetery, on the outskirts, early today. More than three Ihoi'sand had passed through the morgue by sundown today, the coroner estimated. In front of a newspaper office, where a flashlight picture of the white-clothed bodies of the hand ed n en dangling Crom their nooses was exposed to public view the three young sons of Sheriff James A. Petray, killed last Sun day by Boyd, studied the 'grue some print closely for half an hour and then passed on without com ment. Knots of men and women, more or less excited, formed on the streets to talk of the lynch ing. There was a dramatic seen in the county superior court iom today when the cases of the tlree hanged men were called, libey were to have pleaded to Indict ments charging them with muider in connection with the slaying of the officers. District Attorney Ho)ie inform ed the court that the men bad been slain. The court had Sheriff Boyes sworn as a witness and from him received an account of this morning's tragedy. Then the dis trict attorney moved that the in dictment be dismissed.

RULES DUBLIN Desperate Minority in Ire- land Will be Dealt With Harshly LONDON. Dec. 10. Martial law has been proclaimed by Dub lin Castle over the city and coun ty of Cork, the city and county of Limerick and the counties of Tipperary and Kern. In an an nouncement made to the house of commons today Premier Lloyd George declared it was the in tention of the British government to put down lawlessness which for months has been prevalent in Ireland. Dublin city and the county of Dublin, although they have been the scenes of numerous affrays and of much vandalism, were not included in the district under martial law, but Mr. Lloyd George told the commons that if con ditions should warrant, the in- t nrA tt ti a r r n vnnt1 Ka ay! onrl tut Fnder the nror lamation. ner- sons who. without authority pos- forms must surrender them with-j in a certain period or lay them-1 selves liable to trial by court I martial and the death penalty. The premier said he was con vinced that in all sections of Ire land the majority of the people were anxious for peace and that the government likewise was de sirous of peace and fair settle ment of the questions at Issue. . To this end. he asserted that the government would treat with Sinn Fe?n members of parliament who had net been "involved in the commission of the serious crimes." These Sinn Feiners, he added, would be afforded all protection. The jiremier declared it had no option but to continue to Inten sify its campaign against the small but highly organized and desperate minority" In Ireland, which was "using murder -.and outrage In order to attain the impossible end which could bring peace neither to Ireland nor to Great Britain. The premier's statement of the government's willingness to- ne gotiate with the Sinn Fein, which was delivered in his 'most per snave manner, created a profound impression both inside and out-i-Ide parliament. It probably will be debated in the bouse of com mons Tuesday. Although Prem ier Lloyd George intimated he thought it preferable ther. Fho'uld be no debate. It-is thoucht the liberals will Institute the dis cussion, believing that martini law should not be established In Ireland without the acquiescence of parliament. COXTKAOTOIl IS SHOT SKATTLE. Dec.
