TIGHTENING OF IMMIGRATION LAW EXPECTED Only Good Foreign Labor Sought By MARK SCLEIVAIf ; WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. There 13 Hot the faintest possibility that con gress will change the present imml gration law In any way that might be called greater laxity. Such changes as may be made will be more likely to work in the direction of greater strictness. A system will be Bought which will add to the present restrlc tions, such as physical . and mental examination of the Intending immi grant at the-point of departure In Europe and elsewhere. It Is freely conceded that there is a scarcity of labor In the United States. Some of it is due to what la considered by prudent . persons, excessive road building and other public works on the part of states and municipal! ties, which enterprises are financed by dangerously large bond Issues. As a result, contractors are bidding for labor against raildoads, and both against mine and factories. As a re sult the farms which under present circumstances can not pay high wages, are being stripped of hired labor, and of the farmers' sons as well. - Keep Out Undesirables The problem is to find means of Inducing the sort of labor-that would meet , our present need to come, and at the same time to keep oi t the sort of Immigration that is regarded as undesirable. Under the present law tens of thousands of - Germane Danes, Norwegians, Swedes, Scotch, Irish and English could come to this country. The Quotas of these nations are not exhausted, and ' practically everybody would be glMi to see them come. The chief reason they do not come is said to be lack of- funds to make. the trip. There are serious proposals for changing the law so as to finance the bringing In of this sort of desired immigration, but any wholesale modification of the immigration law is about the last thing likely to happen. There is no subject upon which the prejudices and convictions of the country are so widespread of so deply held. Much of the growth of the Ku Klux Klan Is due to it... There is no subject on which congress Is so clearly unanimous. -' 1 , Has Blfl Majority When, the present Immigration law was passed, there were only two votes in the senate against it. In. the lower house there were but 40 votes against it out of 435, and these 40 came almost wholly .from those New York and Chicago districts which have large foreign populations, , . Committees of congress are already at work on- changes in the- present law, .but the changes will be in the nature of perfecting the- discrfmlna-

C-i-iory sections of the law in the direc-

tion ' of more rigidly excluding the sort or immigration as to which there, is a widespread feeling' that more have been coming than we can safely assimilate.

Farmers See Way to Save; Will Grow, Buy Food at Home WASHINGTON, Deo. 7. Farmers should produce more of their own foodstuffs and buy less than must be brought to them by railroad, according to a survey of opinion among 25,000 farmers made public today by the department of agriculture. Nearly 30 per cent of the food consumed by the farmers and their families generally is not grown by them or in their immediate vicinity, it was shown, whereas it was estimated that 79 instead of 70 per cent of their needs could be produced locally. High freight rates, it was explained, tend to reduce Ihe prices farmers receive for their products and at the same time increase the cost, to them of the things they buy from outside localities, so greater home production of their own requirements would prove economical and make them less dependent upon the railroads and the outside world. .The survey indicated that the more isolated farmers were producing more of their own foodstuffs than those in more populous sections and that such was the case also among these in the less prosperous districts. - The smallest percentage of home production was found in New England and the highest, 75.2 per cent, in the east south central states, including Kentucky, Tennessee Alabama and Mississippi. FOUR CHILDREN BURN TO DEATH; KEROSENE LAMP FIRES COTTAGE (By' trnlted Press) CHICAGO, Dec. 7. Four children were burned to death here today when fire destroyed the cottage home of Joseph Budak.

He shouted to his father, who jumped from a window and gave the alarm. When the fire department arrived the interior of the cottage was a mass of flames. Firemen . rushed into the - Inferno.

IND THURSDAY EVENING, Death" for Royalists '' ' ' ' -nfm U. S. ARRESTS 35,000 ON LIQUOR CHARGES DURING FISCAL YEAR (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. The widespread extent of prohibition law violations which has caused concern to President Harding and cabinet was revealed today in the annual report to congress of Attorney General Daugherty. Approximately 35,000 persons were arrested by the federal government for violation of the national prohibition law during the last fiscal year, according to the report. Civil cases prosecuted by the government during the same time numbered 2,157. These criminal and civil actions, however. TPnresPflt Tmlv a email nf of all the arrests made In the United States for the Ramfl nprlnrl Wonr-lir four times as many more arrests were maae Dy local, county, and tate. officials for violation of state and county dry. statutes, it was estimated. . Federal officials convicted 22,749 persons in criminal cases and secured a total of $120,000 in judgments in the civil suits. The DODUlation of fhft teAvrat tm-1c. ons for the same period Increased to 6,395 compared with 5,268 for the last fiscal year, Heber H. Votaw, brother-in-law of President Harding and superintendent of prisons, reported.

Attorney General Daugherty recommended to congress the enactment of a law to prevent the sending of threatening letters through the mails. Tiys recommendation, it was indicated, is designed to curb the activities of certain secret societies which send warnings through the mails before resorting to floggings and other terroristic tactics. Other recommendations made by Daugherty include: A law to make it a crime to kill a federal officer engaged in serving or executing a process. ' The present law simply makes it a crime to assault, beat or wound a federal officer. A law to make it a crime for a single individual to attempt to defraud the United States. To increase the statute of, limitation for criminal prosecution in bankruptcy cases from one to three years. To increase the allowance of department of justice officials, when traveling on business, from $4 and $5 per day to $6 and $7. The high cost of living makes this- necessary, Mr. Daugherty holds. - URGE POSTMASTERS : CHOSEN ON MERIT WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. The National Civil Service Reform League, which began its annual convention today, took up for consideration the question of removing the postoffice department from politics by bringing about appointment of postmasters strictly on a -merit basis. . Other problems emphasized in: its program were the effect upon efficiency in the federal service of giving world war veterans preferred status' in filling jobs, and the alleged appointment of political workers to enforce the "Volstead act. One of the chief tasks set for the convention was- the formulation of a program to bring about amendment of laws the delegates should find at fault and to plan campaigns for enactment of civil service statutes by ,38 states whose legislatures have not yet adopted that method of selecting applicants for employment-. " . Alleged discrimination against women in government employment reclassification of the federal civil service and appointments in the diplomatic and consular services also were listed for discussion. - - - - -

PALLADIUM SEWS BUREAU WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. Veterans of the Civil war now on the pension rolls, and widows of veterans of that war who are now receiving pensions, can expect to find a substantial gift from Uncle Sam in their - stockings, Christmas morning. The house of representatives has just passed the so-called Bursum pension increase bill, which originated in and was approved by the senate several weeks ago. As the measure was amended in some respects by the house, it must now be considered by a conference committee before it can be sent to the president It is probable, however, that it will reach the white house before the congress takes its Christmas recess. The bill increases the minimum pension for Veterans of 'he Civil war whn served 90 days or longer, and for vet erans or tne Mexican war, who served 60 days ar longer, from J50 to $72 per month. , Under the pension law enacted In 1920 provision was made for the payment of $72 per month only to veterans who are totally disabled and re(Please Turn to Page Eleven) WILSON ANDJIGER . STILL AT VARIANCE ON WORLD POLICIES By A. L. BRADFORD WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. The visit of Georges Clemenceau, the 81-year-old French statesman, to Woodrow Wilson, stricken ex-president of the United States failed to bring about a real reconciliation between the two great war leaders, the United Press learned today. WTilson and Clemenceau. while they have recently seemed to have been standing for the same things, American re-entrance into European affairs, differ absolutely on fundamental policies. As they differed at Paris on these quesf ions so they differ now and their meeting late yesterday did not change this.

However, some observers have remarked that Clemenceau, perceiving the popularity of Wilson, has begun to use the Matter's name more frequently in his speeches and also, that he has been careful not to deprecate the league too much.

TURKEY 1VIUST nrninr imnii : uciiiut urutr CASTING LOT Faces Hard Problem at Parley - -:T:: ' By Associated Press) , " ' LAUSANNE, Dec. 1. The Turkish delegates to the Near East conference today faced the difficult problem of deciding whether Turkey, in formulating her plan for control of the Dardanelles, should cast her lot with Russia or with th entente powers and the United States. Turkey's suggestions for the solution of the perplexing Strait question will be made public tomorrow at the hotel Du Chateau J Ismet Pasha and his associates, la formulating their plans, were faced by the sharp differences in. opinion hew tween Great Britain and Russia la tha discussion of the Dardanelles question; If Turkey, on the one hand, goes oven to the British camp she fears the trata Russian army on her eastern frontier r) u, on the other hand she sides with Russia, In demanding complete contro? of the waterway, the fears tha Britishi navy in the Straits, Have Temporized. The Turks thus far have temporize by saying that they favored M. TchitH cherin's plan, but they took this attitude before they had heard the solution offered bw the powers. Ismet Pasha and his associates were impressed by the plan presented by Lord Curzon yesterday, on behalf ar the entente, which was approved in general by the statement of the position of the United States. The Turk-3 apparently can not forget that Russia is Turkey's traditional enemy, and that Premier Lenine's government may be not less covetous of Constantinople and the straits than was Russia in the days of the czars. Turkey always has found protection in numbers. She has played the Eu ropean countries against each other to her great advantage time and again, and she hesitates to trust her fate to Russia alone while the rest of Europe, supported by the United States, opposes an effort to turn the Black sea into a Russian lake. .' Russ Fight Hard Id. Tchiteherin fighting hard to defeat Lord Curzon'a plans, urges that it would enable a combination of powers like the entente to keep a great navy in the Black Sea as each member of the combination onnld Tna.ints.lni thorn as many ships as belonged to Hussia or whatever Black Sea power happened to have the Argest naivy at the time. - . Turkey, however, in considering Russia's plan, apparently has an eye on her own pocketbook. If She adopted M. Tchitcherin's plans Turkey would be forced to make a great outLay for a fleet and' for fortifications: and as she has no money she would prefer to have some one else bear the expense of policing the etraits. Ismet Pasha is in constant communication with Mustapha, emal . Pasha, Adjournment Rumored There are rumors of a possible adjournment of the congress for the Christmas holidays Inasmuch' as the situation between the powers and Turkey has cleared considerably. The question of capitulations is in. an even worse tangle than the straitsi problem, but Great Britain, France and Italy are showing tact in handling! Turkey's sensitive attitude toward her acceptance of anything that would, bring her sovereignty into question., Since the Russian squall over the Dardanelles has been weathered without disaster, the prospects seem much. brighter for an agreement on prlncK pies that will satisfy all parties. The various sub-commissions are meeting daily to thresh out the details of the question on the agenda,, but the real work of the conference is largely accomplished in private conversations among the leading delegates.
