Washington, Feb. 22.--He MDtte >oted to restrict immigration into the United States between April 1. 1921, «l>d Jnne 30. 1022, to a maximum of 855,000 persons. It passed the Dillingham bill by a vote of 61 to 2 after amending it to Km lit admissions from any country t® S per cfnt of the number of natives ©f that conntry residing, in the United States in 1910. Tin- only votes against the measure were cast by Senator fteed of Missouri. Democrat, and Senfftor France of Maryland, Republican. At the same time, the senate went on record against the Johnson bill passed by the house suspending all immigration for a year. It rejected the Johnson bill by 43 to 19. Senators Borah, Jones of Washington, and Willis, Republicans, and Senators Aslihurst, Beckfftm. Harris, Harrison, Hefflin, King, McKellar, Myers, Overman, Pittman, Tomerene, Ransdell, Bwanson, Thomas, Trammell and Underwood, Democrats, supported the Johnson hill. The measure now goes to conference. No serious difficulty is anticipated In getting the differences of the tiro houses adjusted. It is contended by some advocates of the Dillingham bill that it will be tax more restrictive than the Johnson bill for the reason that the provision In the latter permitting the admission of relatives of immigrants already aiv / lived furnishes a loophole for whole- Hie evasions. Senator Dillingham said he was unable to state whether the measure would permit the admission of enough Immigrants during the next year ade- <piately to Supply the country with "pick and shovel" labor. "Senator Harrison of Mississippi. Democrat, led the fight to make the bill more drastic. He first offered an . amendment limiting admission? to 1 per cent. This was beaten by a viva voce vote. He next offered the amendment for 3 per cent iand it was carried. Senator Harrison also proposed JU) amendment to change the basis of computation to the number of naturalhied citizens. This was beaten without a roll call. An amendment offered by Senator Smith of South Carolina struck out the provision giving the secretary of labor authority to admit individuals if aoch action is justified as a measure of humanity. This was adopted. Senator Plielan of California raised the Japanese question. He told the „senate that the Japanese in Hawaii *rere obtaining naturalization papers fiy taking advantage of the act passed during the war to facilitate the naturalization of aliens enlisted In the •army. No less than 800 of them have obtained papers in this manner, he said. He propped an amendment to IfUiedj- this condition. Senator Colt of Rhode Island, chairman of the Immigration committee, •nid that raising the Japanese question might defeat the hill and Senator 1 fhelan did not press the amendment. Senator Reed bitterly condemned the bill. He declared conditions had Jbfen greatly exaggerated by propagandists and told the senate the bill *as as "narrow as the middle ages" and belonged to "the era of the thumb screw and rack." If the house agrees to the senate amendments the bill will take effect April 1, 1921, and remain in effect until June 30, 1922. lira.

J. Sack, director of the Russian information bureau in the United States. The statement declares that not fewer than 20,000,000 peasants are starving this winter along the Volga. The Economlcheskala Zhizn (Economic Life) says that "news is already beginning to reach us from the central provinces of famines having set in among the people and about the wholesale extermination of cattle for lack of fodder." A Bolshevist commissary, M. Boguslavsky, writing in the official Pruvda, says: "The worklngmen are without footwear, rubbers and even Without aa much as a needle. Truly, they are living much worse than they did I** fore. We are bound to admit thai the soviet power lias failed to do for llieui the roost indispensable things." The official Bolshevik Izvestla of December 20 contains the text of a speech by Leon Trotzky, soviet commissar of defense, before the eighth congress of soviets, In which he declared : "At present 54,000 versts (36,640 miles) of Russian railroads are destroyed, so that only the central part, about 15,000 versts (9,900 miles), remains intact. Three thousand bridges and 16,000 telephone and telegraph lines have also been destroyed and we have about 61 per cent of idle locomotives." The recently appointed commissar of means of communication, M. Yemshanov, speaking on the same subject, said: "Out of a total of 38,000 telephones along the railroad lines of Russia 32,- 500 require major repairs. The electric signal apparatus mutt be completely overhauled. The upper part of the roadbeds is In catastrophic condition. The repair 6hops are mostly in ruins and their machinery has been denuded of important parts." The statement declares that popular revolts against Bolshevist rule are taking place. An anti Bolshevist "green" army, composed mostly of peasants, is reported t* be- operating in southern Russia. The revolts against Bolshevist power, the statement adds, are being suppressed with the utmost cruelty. A proclamation Issued by an "extraordinary commission" in southern Russia threatens that all risings against the Bolsheviki will be suppressed with Implacable severity and declares that all those aiding or concealing members of "white" or "green'- armies will be shot and their property confiscated.

WELTT ATTACKS JUDGE LANDIS Ohio Representative Charges League Chiefs Hired Jurist to Protect Game. SOli , HIIITS *r BRIBERY Congressmen at Hearing Criticize J urine Hi* Outside Work -- ; May Compel Him to Q«tfc One of the Jobs. s 'Washington, Feb. 23.--Acceptance by Federal Judge Landis 6t Chicago of $42,500 as supreme arbiter of baseball, while serving on the bench, might go unchallenged "If the motive back of it were not so apparent," Representative Welty of Ohio declared before the house judiciary committee, in demanding impeachment of the judge "for high erimies and misdemeanors." He called attention to the action of the Supreme court of the District of Columbia In assessing damages of $240,000 against the big league baseball associations in suits brought under the anti-trust/laws, and the indictment of players in Chicago for throwing games. Mr. Welty said: "While these matters were pending in the courts, this illegal trust made Judge Landis its chief arbiter. And why should they select a federal judge as umpire? Was it because they wanted to tell the people 'we are not an unlawful trust, because Judge Landis is at our head?' Was it because these baseball magnates wanted to create a favorable sentiment with the hope that the Supreme court of the District of Columbia would be reversed ?" In this connection Mr. Welty read a letter from Chicago, the name of the writer withheld, quoting a basehall magnate as saying that Judge Landis as a lawyer meant nothing to organized baseball, but that Judge Landis as a federal judge "was worth any price lie might wish to ask." "If that was the intent," Mr. Welty declared, "does the act not bring it within the law of bribery? If the magnates who were fined are permitted to employ Judge Landis, what would prevent the indicted players employing ^lim?" "Judge LWlis. has a right to yield to the fleshpots of illegal combination," said Mr. Welty, "but he should not bring all our judiciary into ill-repute. If the country approves the dual role of Judge Landis, then the house will be called upon to preserve a new standard for our judiciary because there are others who would be pleased to employ some judge 'for he Is worth any price he might wish to ask.' "But I do(not believe that the American soul is so dead as to permit any of us to escape our duties in this matter." "What would prevent the packers from taking a federal judge as a balance wheel for their organization?" asked Representative Goodykoontz. Republican, of West Virginia. "Every justice of the Supreme court could accept similar employment, if tills precedent is allowed to stand," Mr. Welty said. "I think this affects the very soul of the country." "I am perfectly in sympathy with this proposition," Mr. Husted said. 'It is absolutely avaricjous that this man should accept a $42,500 job and remain on the bench. We are anxious to hear some facts on which an Indictment can be found." "In my opinion," Representative Boies, Republican of Iowa, interjected, "this- committee wunts to find some legal facts on which to base an Impeachment case." The committee adjourned without discussing action. Another meeting will be held Wednesday to consider the course to be pursued. In view of the legislative jam in both houses of congress, it Is probable that the whole matter will go over until the extra session. Several members of the committee, while declining to be quoted in advance of a decision by the committee, privately expressed the opinion that the committee will make a report to the house so strongly condemning the precedent established by Judge Landis that he will feel called upon to relinquish one position or the other and that other judges will be restrained from accepting outside employment. It is probable also that the committeee will recommend at the next session the passage of a bill speclflcal^ ly prohibiting federal judges from accepting other employment. 36th North Dakota Bank Falls.
