Geary;' hew ever, pointed out the radical defects n the bill, which would render Us effeoU nugatory. He also declared that the ex tension of the lime of registering should be reduced to six months; thsit 'he term ''Chinese laborers" should be specifically defined; and that the Im prisonment clause should ;be modified. He also wanted a provision inserted for photographing all Chinese who registered. It was finally decided to agree to the modifications and accord ingly today the bill was referred by the foreign affairs commltte to the eub-con-mittee that will meet tomor row night.
