NUMBER 25
TO PUT BAN ON IMMIGRATION
Measure Introduced By The House
Immigration Committee—“Slack¬
er" Allens To Be Deported
Washington.—A bill to stop all im¬
migration for two years and to de¬
port all aliens who withdrew their
first papers in order to escape mili¬
tary service during the war, was in¬
troduced by Chairman Johnson, of the
house immigration committee. It is
regarded as the most drastic meas¬
ure of the kind ever presented to
congress.
After the end of the two-year sus¬
pension period, aliens would he en¬
titled to admission to the United
States only under a passport or on
their written declaration to become
American citi-o-s. They would he
required to register annually until
citizenship was conferred. Fraudu¬
lent entry would be punishable by
five years’ imprisonment and $1,000
fine, to be followed by deportation.
Few exceptions to the prohibition of
immigration for two years are per¬
mitted by the bill. Alien residents
of the United States might send for
their parents, grandparents, unmar¬
ried or widowed daughter, or son
under 16 years old, unless these rel¬
atives had been alien enemies, for
whom special authorization for ad¬
mission would then he required.
Skilled labor also might be imported
under existing law, and foreign of¬
ficials, tourists, students and profes¬
sional men might come into the coun¬
try temporarily under passports.
Adoption of the bill would mean,
its framers say, literal fulfillment of
the so-called "gentlemen's agree¬
ment” between the United States and
Japan with respect to immigration
and would keep out Japanese cool¬
ies.
BANDITS TRAPPED AND
KILLED BY U. S. TROOPS
Cavalry Charges Upon Blockhouse In
Mountain Pass In
Mexico.
Marfa, Texas.—Four Mexican ban¬
dits were killed by American troop?
in Mexico, Captain Leonard Matlaclc,
who arrived here by airplane, report¬
ed. They were surrounded in an
adobe blockhouse that the Mexicans
had constructed in a mountain pass
The bandits fought desperately
when they found they were trapped
and two escaped. When the Ameri¬
can troops approached the block¬
house with the intention of searching
it, the Mexicans opened fire from
port holes.
The fire was returned and ths
blockhouse charged by the American
cavalry troops.
Three of the four Mexicans killed
have been Identified as Jesus Janir.
F. and Jose Fuentcs. The identi¬
ty of the fourth bandit has not
been ascertained. All four wera
known to Captain Matlack as ban¬
dits operating along the Dig Bend
border for years.
The two men who escaped were
pursued, hut the trail was lost in
the mountain canyons.
It was definitely established that
Jesus Renteria, leader of the out¬
laws band that captured Lieutenan's
Peterson and Davis, American avi¬
ators. was not among the dead.
Captain Matlack said he passed a
column of 200 Carranza troops be¬
low the border. The Carrange com¬
mander asked where the Americans
were going. When lie was inform¬
ed they were pursuing bandits, he
waved his hand and said: “Go
ahead.”
Major General Diekman announc
ed that he would remain here to go
over the Big Bend district situation
with Colonel George T. Langhorne.
He had jilanned to return to San
Antonio.
While the exact location of the
troops was withheld for military rea¬
sons, it was known that they hal
gone so far into the interior that
it was necessary to send money to tlio
commanders so they might purchase
-supplies. The line of eommunica*
tions was getting too long to trans¬
port provision, it was stated.
