tion in Regard to

The immigration bill drew fire to

New York members and huh a:,
vigorously urged by Chairman
Johnson of the immigration com
mittee and oilier representati ves,
who declared legislation to keep
out undesirable immigrants neces
sary. Debate will bp resumed tomor

adjournment or on Friday. While
confident of its passage leaders
conceded it would not receive the
overwhelming Vule a similar bill

can, Chandler, republican and
Loudon, socialist, all of New
York; Sabath, democrat, Illinois;
Stevenson, democrate. South

clared the bill marked the renun
ciation and abandonment of the
policy which had fixed the posi
tion of the United States In the
civilized world.
Expression of Prejudice
Representative Siegel charged
that propogandiats and skillful
agitators had done much to brina
about the bill. Mr. London said
that the measure would "strike
at the very people we went to war
to emancipate," and charged that
the bill wasJjt expression of prejudice.-

Joseph Mozorosky Must
Stand Penalty for Fail
ure to Comply
PORTLAND, Ore., April 20.
Joseph Mozorosky, committed to
jail on an execution agains. the
body for failure to pay a damage
verdict, must stay in jail or pay,
according to a ruling by Judge
George Stapleton in the circuit
court today. Sol Swire alleged
that he had lost $800 to Mozor
osky at poker and sued for dou
ble the amount, under an Oregon
law authorizing that procedure by
persons who lose at gambling. A
verdict for the full amount war?
returned. Mozorosky refused to
pay and was arrested under an an
cient law seldom invoked, which
authorizes an execution against
the body for persons refusing to
pay court awards. Mozorosky
sought release on habeas corpus
and Jude Stapleton has denied
his application. There is a pro
vision of the law that one im
prisoned thereunder may obtain
release after ten days by taking
the pauper's oath, but as Mozor
osky testified at the trial of the i
lawsuit that he was worth $16,000

Salem Water Is Pure,
Nurse Tells Rotarians
In an address at the Rotary
club luncheon yesterday Dr. W. B.
Morse declared that the Salem
water supply is more sanitary
than the natural pure water sup
plies of which many cities boast.
The reason he gave is that the wa
ter is filtered constantly, which
insures its being pure, while the
natural pure water, like the Bull
Run supply of Portland, may be
pure at times and at other times
become contaminated.
General sanitary conditions in
Salem Dr. Morse pronounced as
fair, but said there is still more
refuse about the city than there
should be.

SPOKANE, Wash.. April 20.
The prosecution in the case of
Jay E. Hough, former bond brok

ner. Mrs. Milholland came from
Pittsburgh to testify. She went
to Pittsburg shortly after her
husband committed suicide last

ported confession to authoritis.
Mrs. Milholland, in testifying,
refuted testimony of defense wit
nesses alleged to be defamatory
to the character of Milholland.
Especially did she deny testimony
of Mrs. Charles P. Lund concern
ing an alleged attack by Milhol
land upon his wife at Hayden

Says Chandler
WASHINGTON, April 20. A
statement tday by the state de
partment mid that Secretary
Hughes 'did not make and did
not intend to make any recom
mendations regarding immigra
tion,'' in transmitting to congress
reports from American govern
ment agents abroad, dealing with
the movement of emigrants to the
I'nited States.
An Associated Press disnatcb
last night said that Mr. Hughes
nau made such a recommendation
anI he also was quoted as saying
"our restriction on Immigration
should be so rigid that it would
be impossible lor most of these
people to enter the United States."
reference being made "especially
to Armenians, Jews, Persians and
Russians."
As a matter of fact that quo
tation appeared in a paraphrase
of a report from the American
consul at Tiflis, relating to the
people in that district, which was
among a number of similar re
Iorts transmitted to the house
and senator immigration commit
tees by Mr. Hughes.
Publications of extracts from
the government reports was the
subject of discussion today in the
house. Representative Chandler,
Republican. New York, who for
merly was counsel in the United
States for Letvla and Lithuania
took exception to an official gov
ernment 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 de
clared that whoever made that re
port "communicated to this gov
ernment that which is absolutely
false. "
"I do not believe Mr. Hughes
authorized this or any similar re
port," said Mr. Chandler. "It
came from abroad. Mr. Hughes is
too big and noble brained to con
sent to anything of that kind."
Chairman Johnson said .he
thought Mr. Hughes had read all
of the reports before sending
them to congress and that he
knew he had signed the letter of
transmlssal.
Representative Siegel, Republi
can. New York, interrupted to say
Mr. Hughes signed the letter in
the usual course.
