No Effort Made to Eliminate Opposed
Clause Percentoge Based on
1890 Census.
Washington, D. C The senate an
swered Ambassador Hanihara's pro
test against Japanese exclusion legis
lation Monday by voting, 76 to 2, jjohnson Immigration Measure
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 tho votes of a num
ber of administration leaders, includ
ing Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
chairman of the foreign relations com
mittee. The republican leader informed the
senate in open session that ho 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 tho "grave consequences"
warning in the 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 tho 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.
Soviet and Britain Open Trade

Great Britain's de jure recognition of
Russia, which was accorded the union
of Soviets February 1 in fulfillment of
the labor party's campaign pledges.
Into a practical working arrangement,
which it is hoped will settlo all past
differences and re-establish normal
trade and political relations between
tho two countries began Monday,
when tho Russian mission, under
Christian Rakovsky, met with the
Ilritish delegates, headed by Premier
MacDonald at tho big horseshoe con
ference table In the ambassadors'
room of the foreign office.
In his welcoming address, Premier
MacDonald summed up the whole pur
pose of the conference In the sen
tence: "You want political counten
ance and financial assistance from
us and we want neighborliness and
recognition of international obllga
Hons."
The labor premier told the Russians
lhat Great Britain, by according the
soviet government full diplomatic sta
Ins, had taken tho first step, and add
od 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. Rnkovsky's opening addresses be
fore the dolegntes went beyond the
broad generalities of the different prob
lems to bo settled. The British view
Is that the entire fate of the meeting
depends upon tho amount of confi
dence tho soviet government repre
sentatives are able to create in the
British and world public by their con
duct here and their nttitude toward
the Russian debts and other Interna
tional obligations which the Rritish
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
the 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 tho Japanese placed on the same
quota basis as tho 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 the 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 tho Pacific coast plan to
tako 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 the 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.
Farm Relief Bills Put up to Senate.
Washington, D. C The McNary
Haugen and Norris-Sinclair bills,
designed for the relief of agricultural
districts, were reported favorably Sat
urday by the senate agriculture com
mittee. Several minor amendments
were attnehed to the McNary-Haugen
bill, but the Norris-Sinclair measure
was reported without change.
Action on the McNary-Haugen bill
Is expected to be taken by the 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,
the application by foreign nations of
antidumping laws might prevent the
sale in 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
arp fascinated by the idea of drinjvinc
for the purpose of being a good sport."
Sergeant Rhoda Milliken 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
TVTR. COON had many scores to set
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. Rubbit
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.
"Y'es, I do believe It can be done," he
said, 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 hens.
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 one 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 hen feathers In the opening
so they could just 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 fust, 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 For 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? Y'ou 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 aler 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

to explain that l went in that log to get
that hen for you. 1 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.

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 niogt 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 und 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 hy the votaries
of Bacchus when celebrating the
orgies. To have one of these In your
house at the time the government was
suppressing the Bacchic scandal, or to
receive one as a gift, was decidedly
unlucky. It was prima facie evidence
of guilt.

DOLORES
T IKE Juanlta, the Spanish Dolores
has gained extraordinary vogue in
this country. Indeed, It Is now regard
ed as typically American, especially in
the Southwest where the Inlluence of
the early Spanish settlers has been en
graved for all time. Its unfortunate
translation, "sorrow," has never
checked Its vogue; rather, the opposlts
emotion has seemed to Invest Its bear
ers. Most of the Dolores who have
come to the writer's notice have been
gay coquettes with laughing eyes end
lips.
The name Is one of Spanish Catholic
growth, and was originally applied to
express the mournful circumstances of
some "child of misery, baptized In
tears." The fashion for bestowing
the name of the Holy Virgin upon sev
eral members of a Catholic family with
s distinguishing phruse led to the fre
quent usage of Dolores. Parents, mind
ful of the Seven Sorrows supposed to
bave pierced the heart of the Holy
Mother, would choose for one child ths
musical name of Maria de Dolores.
It Is quite appropriate that Dolores'
talismanlc stone should be Jet tb
emblem of sorrow. But fortunately
for her, to wear the stone Insures ths
opposlts emotion; It will protect her
from sorrow, from danger and disease.
Tuesday is her lucky day and 4 htf
lucky number.
