A two hour:*' conference today with senators and representatives of the congressional commi tees which lurid led the measure left the president un? shaken In hit belief that a Iftterae) ! test is not a true test of an Immi? grant's qualifications for citizenship. The possibilities of repassing the bill ov r the president's veto Were I discussed In congres-donnl circles to i night. Supporters of the measure, pointing to the overwhelming votes by which both house and senate had rejected amendments to strike out the literacy test, predicted the necessary two-thl 'ds to the bill becoming a law without the president's signature could b>? mustered. ? >pponents of the bill were sure they could not.

Representative Sabath alone as veil the president to veto the till. Senator Lodge told the president he believed the literacy test was the best feasible method for restricting immigration. Mr. Sabath contended there wus no publio demand for the bill and Senator Lodge replied (Jmt the overwlelmlng vote in its favor In both house< of congress was proof to the contrary. The arguments today followed close? ly those presented it the president'; public h oaring at the White House last week. The president, however, was un? shaken in his opposition to the liter? acy test and plans to return the nil] to congress tomorrow with a message giving hit. opposition to the test as the reason for his veto.

CABINET BEEKS TO BRING Til EM WITHIN INCOME. Haul Action not Reached at Cabinet Meeting, but It is Probable War Tax Will l>c Extcndou". Washington, Jan. 27.?The adminis? tration has taken tip in earnest the question Of how the government's ex? penses shall be brought within its in? come during the next liscal year. A cabinet conference today debated the situation at length and tomorrow President Wilson will *go over the sit? uation with Secretary McAdoo, Post? master General llurleson, Representa? tive Underwood, Democratic leader in the house, and Representative Fitz? gerald, chairman of the appropria? tions OOfnfnltteo, Estimates of ex? penditures for the year fur exceed the most extravagaat hopes for rev? enues, and administration leaders agree that something must be done i to prevent a dellcit. While no final conclusions were reached by the cabinet, it is under? stood that, most of its members could see no way of avoiding the necessity Of extending the time limit on the war tax law unless congress would: Reduce all appropriation bills as much as possible without impairing the efficiency of the government. Abandon the $.'M,000,000 rivers and harbors appropriation bills. Adopt Postmaster General liurle .ion's plan for reducing the C03t of rural free delivery service by putting carriers on a contract basis. The cabinet officers realize that congress will not easily be persuaded to eliminate the rivers and harbors bill entirely. Mr, BurtOeon'l proposal to congress that It red ace free delivery expenses .rom $52,000,000 to $35, 000,000 was rejected by the house. These two items taken out of con? gress' plans for appropriation would make it a large saving, it. was pointed out, and possibly relieve all nbar rassment for the present. It a. o was said congress probably might be asked to cut the current army and navy bills, though it is conceded that not much can be don? in this direction. Estimates for expenditure! for the liscal year ending in 11H6 sent by Sec? retary McAdoo to congress at the be? ginning of the present session amount? ed to approximately $1,090,000,000, which included ihe estimate of ap? proximately $60.000,000 to meet the sinking fund obligations. Additional estimates, however, have aggregated $25,000,000. The estimates for reve? nues totaled approximately $1,055, 000,000. The postofhee bill, in which it is pos? sible a large cut will be made, is now in the senate. The house is expected to pass the agriculture bill tomorrow. The sundry civil bill is expected to be taken up next. This measure totals approximately $132,000,000. The leg? islative bill has been cut below de? partmental estimates and no further substantial reductions in it are ex? pected. It was understood toi Ighl that Sec? retary Garrison will not object if an appropriation Of $1*100,000 for a new transport now carried In the ? my olll is eliminated. Some $5,000,000 more than the amount estimated by Secre? tary Daniels is carried in the naval bill, as completed by the committee, and Postmaster General Rurleson's es? timates have been increased by ap? proximately 114,000,000 In the poet* office bin. Representative Mann, minority leader of the bouse, who has repeat* edly accused the present congress of beim: the most extravagant in the his? tory Of the Country. Spoke of the need of economy in the house again today. At today's cabinet conference plans for Coordination estimates in the fu? ture were discussed and it is under ?tood eaoto oablnel member will seek ways of economising in hil depart? ment, particularly so long ai the war continues lo cut down Imports and re? duce the governments Income from that source.
