Washington, D. C The senate an swered Ambassador Hanihara's pro test against Japanese exclusion legis lation Monday by votine. 70 to 2. against recognition of the "gentle men's agreement" with Japan on the immigration question. This action is preliminary to adop tion by the senate by an overwhelm ing majority of the house Japanese exclusion provision. Whatever the result would have been without the incident of the am bassador's letter, that communication served to change the votes of a num ber of administration leaders, includ ing Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, chairman of tho foreign relations com mittee. The republican leader informed the senate in open session that he regard ed the Hanihara letter as a "veiled threat" and declared that in the face of that threat he could not support the immigration committee's proposal to recognize by law the "gentlemen's agreement." A number of other senators took the same view and only one voice, that of Senator Sterling, republican, South Dakota, was raised in defense of the ambassador's action. Senator Colt, chairman of the immigration committee, joined Senator Sterling in the vote, but did not speak. Senators generally threw off the usual restraints in dealing with in ternational questions. They were blunt and outspoken in their declaration that in view of the "grave consequences" warning in tho ambassador's letter, there was nothing for them to do but to make it clear for once and for all that immigration is a domestic ques tion in the handling of which no inde pendent power could have its sover eignty questioned. While the debate proceeded, Secre tary Hughes, who transmitted Mr. Hanihara's letter to the house and senate immigration committees last week, twice conferred with President Coolidge. He declined to say what the nature of the conversations had been and no information was forthcom ing from tho White House. E VOTED BY HOUSE Johnson Immigration Measure Is Passed. DISCUSSION IS BRIEF No Effort Made to Eliminate Opposed Clause- Percentage Based on 1890 Census. Soviet and Britain Open Trade London. The task of converting Great Britain's de jure recognition of Russia, which was accorded tho union of Soviets February 1 in fulfillment of tho labor party's campaign pledges, into a practical working arrangement, which it is hoped will settle all past differences and re-establish normal trade and political relations between the two countries began Monday, when the Russian mission, under Christian Rakovsky, met with the British delegates, headed by Pre mitt MncDonald at tho big horseshoe con ference table in the ambassadors' room of tho foreign office. In his welcoming address, Premier MacDonald summed up tho whole pur pose of the conference in the sen tence: "You want political counten ance and financial assistance from us and wo want neighborliness and recognition of international obligations." The labor premier told tho Russians that Great Britain, by according the soviet government full diplomatic sta tus, had taken tho first step, and add ed that it was a pretty big one. "Let us together tako tho second step and Justify the hopes of many millions who look upon this meeting with much expectation," he conclud ed. Neither Premier MacDonald's nor M. Rakovsky's opening addresses be fore tho delegates went beyond the broad generalities of the different prob lems to be settled. The British view s that the entire fate of the meeting lepends upon the nmount of confi- enco tho soviet government repre sentatives are able to create in the British and world public by their con duct hero and their attitude toward ho Russian debts and other interna ional obligations which tho British will insist that the soviet government recognize. Washington, D. C. The Johnson im migration bill, carrying a Japanese exclusion provision against which the Japanese government has protested vigorously, was passed Saturday by the house, 322 to 71. No effort was made to eliminate tho Japanese section, which provoked only brief and perfunctory discussion. There was nothing to indicate that any of the opposition votes were directed at the Asiatic policy contain ed in the bill, but rather against the provision fixing the 1890 census as the basis of the 2 per cent quota, which was adopted. The existing law, which expires on next June 30, fixed the quota at 3 per cent on the 1910 census and had no provisions relating to Japanese immi gration which for years has been regu lated by the "gentlemen's agreement" with Japan. Secretary Hughes has urged that the American government continue to recognize this agreement and the Japanese placed on the same quota basis as the nationals of other countries. Representative Johnson of Washing ton, chairman of the house immigra tion committee, announced that when the time comes for the house and sen ate to reconcile their differences on immigration legislation the managers on the part of the house will insist to the end on tho retention of the Jap anese exclusion provision. Ambassador Hanihara's letter to Secretary Hughes, which was trans mitted to congress, protesting aginst any exclusion feature, was not men tioned in house debate on the bill. When this proposal is reached in the senate, however, Senator Johnson, re publican, California, and other sena tors from the Pacific coast plan to take formal cognizance of the letter and redouble their efforts to have an exclusion feature written into law. There was no formal vote in the house on the exclusion features, as the failure of any member to offer an amendment resulted in automatic approval while tho bill was being read for amendment. Only one address re garding this feature was delivered, that being by Representative Burton of Ohio, a republican member of the foreign affairs committee. He dis cussed the provision for five minutes, emphasizing what he regarded as the inadvisability of superceding the "gentlemen's agreement" by legisla tive enactment. Daugherty To Aid Star. Ashevllle, N. C Harry M. Daugher- y. tho ex-attorney-general, announc ed hero Monday in an interview with he Ashevllle Citizen that he will ap pear as one of the counsel for the Marion Star in Its libel suit against Frank A. Vanderlip growing out of the senate investigation of Teapot Dome. He declined to discuss the sub- ect further than to say that he will onfer with other attorneys in the case n a short while. $50,000 Given College. Chicago Gifts of $50,000 from Ben Selling of Portland. Or. and $5000 from Joseph Schonthal of Columbus, for the library of tho Hebrew Union college of Cincinnati rroduced special enthusiasm Monday at the meeting of the special council of the nion of American Hebrew Congre gations at the Congress hotel. Farm Relief Bills Put up to Senate. Washington, D. C The McNary Haugen and Norrls-Sinclair bills, designed for the relief of agricultural districts, were reported favorably Sat urday by the senate agriculture com mittee. Several minor amendments were attached to the McNary-Haugen bill, ,but tho Norris-Sinclair measure was reported without change. Action on the McNary-Haugen bill is expected to be taken by tho house before its consideration in the senate on account of its tariff provisions, which are required to originate In the house. The house agricultural com mittee is now engaged in redrafting passages of the bill. The tariff features of the McNary Haugen bill brought a communica tion from the tariff commission to the house ways and means committee, In which the committee contended if domestic prices of agricultural staples are raised substantially above world prices as a result of such legislation, tho application by foreign nations of antidumping laws might prevent the sale iu those countries of surplus American farm products. The commis sion further said that the foreign coun tries might also claim that the policy is inconsistent with the tariff act of 1922. Boys Would be Sporty. Washington. D. C. "Enormous num bers of young people in Washington are fascinated by the idea of drinkine for the purpose of being a good sport," Sergeant Rhoda Milllken of the wo men's bureau of the police department told the women's national committee for law enforcement here Sunday. She added that even in high schools boys had been found to be selling liquor not only to their boy friends, but to girl classmates. FOOLING REDDY FOX lVTR. COON had many scores to set 1VA tie with Reddy Fox, but as he was not as clever or sly as Reddy it was seldom he had a chance to play any tricks without getting the worst of it. But one day as he was looking down from a tree where he was flattened along one of its branches he saw an old log and when he saw Mr. Rabbit run Into one end and come out of the other he knew very well it was hollow without anyone telling him. Then Mr. Coon began to think, and the more he thought the broader was his smile, until at last he laughed right out loud. "If I could get him In there I would give him one good beating," he said, and then Mr. Coon came down from the tree and went to the log. "Yes, I do believe it can be done " he Bald, and off he ran for home, and when he returned he brought some hen feathers that came from the tall of one of Mr. Man's fat liens, Mr. Coon tied a piece of twine to these feathers and laid them on the ground at one end of the hollow log, and with the other end in onp paw he ran through the log and along the leaf covered ground to a tree not far away, still carrying the twine in his paw. Up the tree he climbed and fastened the twine to a branch; then down he came and went to the log again and, tucking the ben feathers in the opening so they could juBt be seen, he stood off a little distance and looked. "Yes, sir," he said, "I do believe I can fool him." Mr. Coon was careful to see that the twine running from the log to the tree was hidden under bushes that grew close to the ground, that would keep It from being seen and yet did not hold It fast, so that he could pull it by the end he had fastened in the tree. Reddy Fox could not lesist chicken, and thinking he was going to have a fine dinner started to crawl Into the hollow log, when he became fastened. After a while down from the tree came Mr. Coon. Picking up a good strong stick, he ran to the end of the log where Reddy's legs were kicking and gave him two or three good hard cuts. Mr. Reddy Fox howled and wriggled, but he could not get out, and, giving him one more thump for good measure, Mr. Coon dropped the stick and ran off Into the woods. In a few minutes he came down the path from the other direction, making all the noise possible as he shuffled along. When he came to the log where Reddy was a prisoner he stopped. "Who's there?" asked Reddy In muf fled tone. "Help! help! I can't get out." Well, If that isn't Reddy Fox," said Mr. Coon In a tone of great surprise. "What In the world are you doing there?" he asked. "Surely you did not let your head run away with your good sense, Mr. Fox? You are In a terrible plight, I must admit. Why, you might have died In there If I had not hap pened along." "Mr. Coon, won't you please pull me out? I am smothering In here," said Reddy Fox, wondering if Mr. Coon was going to talk the rest of the day In stead of helping him to get free. "Why, of course, of course," said Mr. Coon, taking- Reddy by the hind feet and pulling with all his might. Reddy wriggled and Mr. Coon pulled, and after a while out he came, looking very much the worse for the struggle. As they sat on the ground getting their breath Reddy asked, as he rubbed his back, "Did you see any one running through the woods as you came along, Mr. Coon?" Mr. Coon shook his head and looked very Innocent. "No. Did you see any one?" "No, but I felt I mean, I thought I heard some one just before you came along. By the way, Mr. Coon, I want He Made Straight for tne Log. to explain that I went In that log to get that hen for you. I always like to do a friend a good turn." "That was very kind of you, I am sure." said Mr. Coon, "and I am glad I happened along to help you, for one good turn deserves another, Mr. Fox, that's my motto." "I am sorry she got away," said Mr. Fox. "I certainly would enjoy getting her. I wonder you did not see her as you came along." "She must have gone the other way." said Mr. Coon as he tucked the feath ers and twine deeper Into his coat pocket. ( by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) I Qhc Why I 1 i Superstitions By H. IRUINQ KIN Q IVY TN NEW ENGLAND there is a popu- lar superstition that It is unlucky to keep Ivy In the house and that Ivy is unlucky as a gift. At first It seems strange to see the Idea of bad luck associated with ivy, which plant dec orated the thyrsus of Pacchus and the leaves of which the Romans mingled with the laurel In their victors' crowns. All popular superstitions have an origin, which origin must be searched for In remote past almost without ex ception. They are Inheritances. Those which at first glance appear to be modern will, upon Investigation, gen erally be found to be most ancient in their roots. Thus the Idea that the eating of tomatoes produces cancer, a few years ago a most common super stition and one which would appear to date only from the comparatively recent time when tomatoes were first used as food. Is, in reality, merely an application of one of man's earliest conceptions, that of the primitive magic which Is known as homeopathic like producing like. So there is some ancient cause for the Ivy superstition. It would appear to be a lingering echo of an historical incident which rendered at the time the generally esteemed and venerated ivy a most unsafe and unlucky plant to have In one's possession. About two hundred years before the Chris tian era the cult of Bacchus obtained a great vogue in the Roman world and degenerated into orgiastic rites of a most depraved and degenerate nature, not Infrequently accompanied with the murder of secret votaries whose fidelity was suspected. All Rome and Italy were honeycombed with the de basing cult. An aroused government took action; many were put to death and many imprisoned until the scandal was stamped out. The Ivy-wound rod, or thyrsus, was carried by the votaries of Bacchus when celebrating the orgies. To have one of these In your house at the time the government waa suppressing the Bacchic scandal, or to receive one as a gift, was decidedly unlucky. It was prima facie evidence of guilt.

Indeed, It Is now regard ed as typically American, especially In the Southwest where the influence of the early Spanish settlers has been en graved for all time. Its unfortunate translation, "sorrow," has never checked its vogue; rather, the opposite emotion has seemed to Invest Its bear ers. Most of the Dolores who hava come to the writer's notice have been gay coquettes with laughing eyes and lips. The name Is one of Spanish Catholic growth, and was originally applied to express the mournful circumstance of some "chlld of misery, baptized In tears." The fashion for bestowing the name of the Holy Virgin upon sev eral members of a Catholic family with a distinguishing phrase led to the fre quent usage of Dolores. Parents, mind ful of the Seven Sorrows supposed to have pierced the heart of the Holy Mother, would choose for one child tha musical name of Maria de Dolores. It Is quite appropriate that Dolores' tallsmanlc stone should be Jet, the emblem of sorrow. But fortunately for her, to wear the stone Insures tha opposite emotion; It will protect her from sorrow, from danger and disease.
