BURNETT IMMIGRATION BILL
REPORTED FAVORABLY
TO SENATE
WILSON MAY VETO
Pest Device So Far Suggested
For Reducing Immigration {
At Needed Point
tr.y Associated Preis.)
Washington, Mnrch 19.?The Bur
nett Immigration bill with its literary
teBt which Is finally retalne dis gen
erally reported to cause President
Wilson to veto the measure, was re
ported on favorably today by the-sen
ate immigration committee. Various'
amendments to the bill as it passed I
the house had been made, but the lit- ,
erary tost clause was unchanged. Of
that provision the committee's re
port said:
"The bill contains one provision,
intended directly to restrict immigra
tion, although said provision also, in
cidentally, is certain to an extent sc
lectlva in Its oneratldn. tho 'Mt*>ir*f?v
test has been adopted as the best de
vice so far suggested for reducing Im
migration where it most needs to be
reduced. So fully has It bsen dis
cussed at various times ln the past
that the committee odes not u???i iL j
necessary to offer in this report an
extended comment upon it.
"As now reported," the report ad
ded, it is confidently believed the
measure is pearly ideal in the select
ive, administrative and restrictive fea
tures as it is possible to make such
a law in advance of experience with
the operation of such of its provis
ions .as are absolutely new."
Among tho amendments proposed
by the senate committee is one that
would exclude "persons of constltif
tloanl psyehopsthio inferiority,, which
the public health service urged as a
vidlng "3that?^' : io*' . iilerr's^ ael.een .!
by Una government should be carried
on in-bound immigrant ships, to which
Italy and .other foreign nations haze
objected to was stricken out, a substi
tute section being offered whbb would
provide that immigrants may be de
tained aboard the ships on which
they arrlec. a sufSeicnt time to to
; permit proper examination.

And Defy "HomeMI??
Sir Edward Carson Rushes from Parliament and
Report is-that Before He Returns Blood Will
Be Spille? in Ireland? Ulsterites Have 100,
000 Armed Men to'Oppose Catholic Rule In
Ireland
London, March 19.?Grave events are impending in Ulster
according to unionist newspapers, and a rumor is current that the
government is preparing for the military occupation of the pro
vince. Various indications poin to a crisis.
Thtre were reports yesterday of the threatened arrest of Sir
Edward Carson and other Ulsterunionist leaders but it was declar
ed officially that there was no truth in the statement that warrants
had been signed for such arrests. Sir Edward Carson', however,
made a. dramatic exit from the House before debate was conclud
ed, to catch a train for Belfast.
Austen Chamberlein last night declared Sir Edward had been
called away in response to sudden developments in Ireland.
Other unionists asserted that Ulstermen no longer can be restrain
ed from an outbreak and that Sir Edward's mi$son is to endeavor
to hold them in check. The Daily Telegram says
"Unless all omens are false, blood wil be spilt in Ulster be
fore the house of commons seesSir Edward Carson again."
The Marquis of London Der ry and other prominent Ulsterites
are on their way to Belfast, and their action is regarded as a chal
lenge to the government, if, as asserted, any intention exists to is
^?e warrants for their arrest.
Ulster is the northernmost province of Ireland and has a
population of a million and a half. It was settled by Scotch?pro
testants. They, are<*ntirejy satisfied with the present condition,
a nominal, rule bv Qre?t Britain in which Ulster has its repr?sen
tation. They have resisted the so-called "home rule" for Ireland
because it would place the protestants under the domination of the
Catholics of the other portions of Ireland.
The Ulster meri-nave organized 100,000 strong into armed
and drilled bodies, and declare that they will never surreender to
home rule. The situation is not unlike the conditions just pre
ceding the American revolution.

This is the attitude President Wil

spoke in complimentary terms of the
Mexlc?n minister of forelglr1 nffiara
as a man of high character.
Non-lteeognltlon of Hnerttt Explained.
What the peraident emphasises in
his informal discussions on the Mexi
can situation Is that he, as preaident
of the United State?, has never sought
to approve or disapprove of iudlvSe
I'tials who may aspire to th> proW- '
I dency of Mexico, and that he has no
?bt refusal to recognise Huerta, It
may be stated on the highest nuthori
yt, was not based on any personal an
tagonlsm to Heurta, bill on tho
ground that, the ? Consttutionalists
would never l>e reconciled to the man
who had overthrown Madero and Sh
ares and that governments get uw by
by arbitrary forces and not reflecting
tfci popular will should not be dv?i
wlth by the United States.
Likewise, the consideration of In*
ilviduab; who might seek the recog
nition by the United States; the prin
cipe President Wllnon has h^en' tvdfk

to anyone set up In the presidency

One of the suggestions recently
made to Preaident Wilson* contem
plates tho sending of a commission
of Americans of prominence to inves

official reports have bad It that both
Carranza and Huerta would receive
such commissions.
^President Wilson is carefully con
sidering the suggestion, said to have
been made originally by Oscar S.
Straus, former ambassador to Turkey,
and prominent in the cause of world
peace. ' The . president, it is knor?n,
would be g!ac\to send such a commis
