BILLS PROPOSE TO PLACE BARS ON IMMIGRANTS Total Ban, or 90 Per Cent Quota Slash, Among Answers to Hoover. By Rcripps-U award Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 14—In response to President Hoover’s request to congress for stricter immigration and deportation legislation, the most drastic restrictive measures ever proposed now arc pending before the house. Some of these go much farther than the President’s suggestions. Hoover asked that “immigration restrictions now in force under administrative action be placed upon a more definite basis by law.” Consuls in European countries have been subjecting would-be immigrants to severe scrutiny before issuing visas, even when quotas were not yet filled; and Mexican immigration has been cut to a fraction of its former extent by enforcing health regulations at the border. Drastic Steps Proposed Two representatives, Blanton and Dies, had introduced bills providing that all immigration shall be stopped for a period of five years, beginning next January. Representative Albert Johnson, former Republican chairman of the hoUse immigration committee, has presented a bill cutting existing quotas to 10 per cent of their present figure, for an indefinite iJeriod. This would limit the number of immigrants coming here annually, except immigrants from the countries of North, South and Central America, to between two and three thousand a year. In addition Johnson has reintroduced his bill of last session for placing these residents of the western hemisphere upon a quota. Liberties Union Protests Measures prohibiting immigration of Filipinos to this country have been reintroduced by Representatives Welch and Crail of California. The President’s request for strengthened deportation laws, and for issuance of certificate of residence to aliens so far have not been embodied in bills. Meanwhile these recommendations of the President called forth severe criticism today from the American Civil Liberties Union. “Existing laws governing aliens already arc far too strict,” said Forrest Bailey, director of the union. “The Wickersham commission’s report on aliens should be sufficient evidence in itself that no stricter laws in this field are needed, and we commend it to the President for reading. “The number of persons deported ! by the department of labor in recent times is greater than ever in history and the harships of these deportees is notorious.”

'CONVICTED ME BEFORE TRIAL,' WAILS POWERS Accuses Court of Prejudice and Says He Was Given No Consideration. By United Press CLARKSBURG, W. Va., Dec. 14. —Harry F. Powers, sentenced to be hanged for the murder of Dorothy Lemke of Northboro, Mass., charged today that he was the victim of a prejudiced community and that he did not receive an impartial trial. The conviced “Bluebeard’ wrote a lengthy statement in his cell declaring that “a theater-full of folks is bound to reflect upon the very I proceedings of the court.” Powers’ trial was held in an old opera house, i the only building in this town large | enough for the proceedings. “This prejudiced feeling,” he j wrote, “was quite evident throughout the trial and this sentiment prevailed everywhere in the theater i where the ‘free-for-all’ trial was held.” “Practically every juror,” he said, “admitted upon examination that he had formed a decided opinion from what he had read or heard previous to the trial. These jurors were permitted to sit in the jury box over defense objections. “Asa result, the defense had lost its case before the trial began. I was convicted before the trial.” “At no time,” he stated, “did the

prosecution offer any substantial proof that I brought Mrs. Lemke to Clarksburg. They failed completely to show that, at any time, 1 had not been telling the truth. “At no time did the state offer any evidence showing that I was with Mrs. Lemke on or after the time she registered at the Gore hotel. "According to testimony, offered by the prosecution, Mrs. Lemke was supposed to be on her way to'lowa. Surely when Mrs. Lemke registered at the hotel she realized she was at Clarksburg, W. Va., and not on her way to lowa. It would have been comnMely out of a direct line going from Massachusetts to lowa. “All these facts were overlooked completely by the jurors. “I therefore feel I should be entitled to further consideration.” Slaying Witness Dies By United Press WADESVILLE, Ind., Dec. 14.

FIND BONES OF STRANGEBEAST Russians Say Skeleton Is Oldest Ever Dug Up. By United Press MOSCOW, Dec. 14.—News of a strange prehistoric animal much older than those known to science has been brought by an expedition cf the Leningrad Geological museum recently returned from extensive researches in the Tartar Soviet republic. The expedition, headed by Professor B. A. Stilko, discovered the mouldy skull and bones of an animal which Russian scientists claim predates the known mammoth age by millions of years. It has been named ulemosaurus, to indicate its

It laid eggs and had a brain a trifle larger than that of an ordinary chicken but not so well developed. The crown bones of the skull. Professor Stilko said, have an aperture which must have held an organ built like an eye. The only hypothesis on which that organ can be explained is the existence of a third eye. The skeleton indicates that the animal was probably amphibian.

Culbertson apparently isn’t discouraged by the score. While he seems to have lost some of his “bantam rooster” cockiness, evident at the outset, he maintains his confidence.
