Three amendments slightly modify

that they might be stricken out by,
the Senate. One would permit admis

ia determining th question of adnue
sability and ths restricted total.
Fight Over Amendment ' ' "
The principal fight was ever an
amendment offered by Representative
Ssbsth, Illinois, ranking Democrat on
th ' immigration committee, to open
th gates to political refugees. Thia
wss lost after long debate which was
elosed by Beptesntativa Mondall, th
Republican leader, who said that under
it ven th form? German emperor
could com here.
This questioa wa bitterly discussed.
Representative Oockran, Democrat, Nsw
Fork, insisting that th former smperor
would bo met hf strong hands ready to
throw him in prison. Mr: Cock ran de
clared thst ths one time smperor was
actually a refuge from th " United
States. .
Mondell Waxes Eloquent
Mr, Mondell waa vigorous In de
nouncing ths plan to open th gate
for political refugees. "Under th
amendment offered," he said, "not :
only eould William, ths damned, come ,
fierce but Charles, 1st mSpror of .
Austria, snd all ths kings and princes
who hsvs been spurnsd snd spewed oat
by ths people of Europe eould corns.
Not onlythst, but every Bnssiam op- ,
posed to the regime of Lenin and
Trotsky would gain admission to our
shores. They, Lenin yid Trotsky, and.
all tb foul hordes that have followed
them, could come in, and we eould not
close the doors s gainst them, even
though they were avowed anarchists.
That is wnst this amandment would
do. Of course, w all care for America
first, but the only way ws can prdvo '
it is not by words, but by votes.''
Immediately after tthe House had
voted the smendment down, Mr. Ssbsth
nresented another ditaimiAd to make
lawful ths entry of Donald J.O'Callag-
han, lord mayor of Cork, and permit
him to remsia as a political refuge.
The smendment was in ths form of
resolution introduced several days ago
by Mr. Sabath, but when it was read
a doren members in all parts of the
chamber jumped to their feet with
cries of "point of order." One ws
sustained and tha bill was passed with
out reference in sny of its sections to
the lord msyor.
