Observer Bureau. 1230 Berkeley Hulldlng, Columbia, 8 C, Feb. 5. After a two-days fight on the De partment of Agriculture. Commerce and Immigration, the House to-day, by a vote of 107 to 12, passed the Richards bill changing immigration to Industries, abolishing the immigra tion feature and with several amend ments wiping out all vestige of au thority or consent for the department to engugc In Immigration work. It even adopted an amendment from Mr. lrby for bidding the department chief to "encourage Immigration, either directly or Indirectly." This, however, was not a defeat for the friends of the department, which has done so much for the material development of the State and toward advertising Its resources and enlisting the active co-operation of the Federal Agricultural Department. The bill was put in by the fri. rids of the de partment, ho concluded that It would be best to eliminate the immi gration feature, which could not be worked at prevent anyway, and thus cut the dirt from under the feet of the politicians who were using preju dice against Immigration to boost themselves and Injure and hamper the department. Those who have for several years been attempting to abolish the de partment lined up behind a bill by Mr. K. P. Smith, which repealed the act establishing the department alto gether. The Smith bill remains on the calendar, the House being in the act of killing It when the hour for balloting for Associate Justice ar rived. This practically settles the matter so far as the House Is con cerned, and the Senate will follow the House's lead. Mr. Smith himself said to-day after the vots was taken that he was entirely satisfied with the Richards bill as it was amended. Lectures at HendeDxm In Interest of Sunday School.
