It cuts down substantially the quotas permitted to come in, rulses the standard, and provides for examination on the other side of the ocean. The comment of the victors was: The house of representatives is still American." As passed the bill retains its original Japanese sections. They are based on the law which excludes' from the United States all aliens ineligible to American citizenship. During the five hours of debate the house paid almost no attention to the vehement iiote which the Japanese government sent a few days ago to the State department through Ambassador Hanihara and which gave in explicit terms Tokyo's warning that enactment of the measure "would inevitably bring grave consequences." Only one voice was lifted in sympathy with the Imperial Japanese government's "warning," which In the cloakrooms was interpreted as more a "threat" than a warning. That voice was Representative Burton's (Rep., O.). The Johnson immigration restriction bill, as passed by the house, fixes future quotas from each foreign country on the basis of 2 per cent of the nationals of that country resident hi the United-States In 1890. The law now In operation permits quotas based on 3 per cent of the nationals resident In this country in 1910. HOWARD MANNINGTON ,.

Washington. -- President GooUdge talked'law and law enforcement to a thousand delegates to the Woman's National Conference for Law Enforcement. The President was presented to the gathering by Mrs. Herbert Hoover. He did not platitudfnize the women in the way that used to be accounted necessary. He began in a tone and with a word so intensely characteristic of him; forv the tone was hard and definite, but deliberative, and the words were these: "You are an association, I am told, gathered together for the better enforcement of the law." Then he forged ahead in this little impromptu on law, saying t "Now, just what is it that w« mean by law?" . - That question, too, was altogether characteristic of his mind and method. "You will see that the law Is a rule of action. That Is why enforcement Is sometimes so difficult" Then fundamental after fundamental-- thus: "It is very easy to enact legislation. We have state legislatures, and the national congress, that each year put upon the statute books thousands upon thousands of enactments to regulate and control our conduct. But It is of no avail unless behind It there Is a sentiment that will enforce. I sometimes wish people would put a little more emphasis upon observance of the law and a little less upon Its enforcement.

CDOUDGE SUPS K SENATE PROBES President Demands Body > Quit Muck-Raking; R&I* v p lies to Mcilon s Side. ; Washington -- President Coolidge called for a change In the inethods of the senate investigating spree when he sent the upper house a terse message, asserting In emphatic terms that it was time for the senate to return to a government "under and in accordance with the usual forms of the law of the land." « The President, forwarding a eom^ plaint from Secretary Mellon of actions of the senate committee Inquiring into the internal revenue bureau, declared that the "state of the union" demands that the senate remain within its constitutional rights in conducting Inquiries. In his letter to the President Secretary Mellon attacked the senate investigation of the bureau of Internal revenue and declared that the Inquiry had degenerated Into a "moralfe breaker." The secretary pointed out that the engagement of Francis J. Heney as counsel,* at the personal expense of Senator Couzens, is evidence that the aim of the investigation now is persecution. A continuation of the senate's Interference, Mr. Mellon said, would bring things to a point where neither he nor any other man of character could take the responsibility for the treasury. The message evoked a storm of Democratic protest. Senator Walsh of Montana, prosecutor for the Teapot Dome oil Investigation, declared the message was a "rebuke" to all senate Investigating committees. "The President wrfnts" ns to stop these Investigations and he ought to say so," the senator said. "Of course he isn't asking anything of that kind, but the message unquestionably was written to formulate public opinion wlilch would have that effect."
