May 17.—The dirigible Graf Zeppe
lin, veteran of a record-breaking
flight around the world, will start
its spring travels Sunday, sailing
for Seville, en route to Brazil and
Lakehurst, N. J.
As the forerunner of what the
Zeppelin company expects will be
a regular trans-Atlantic mail and
passenger service, the ship is sched
uled to fly to the Spanish city, halt
there for additional passengers and
cargo, and then head out across
the ocean to the northeastern t p
of the South American continent.
Six Americans Abroad

an American named Durston, Dr.
Jeronimo Megias, private physician

MEXICAN IMMIGRATION
BILL TO GET ACTION
House Committee to Report Out
Measure, Despite Protests.
It If Scripps-Hciraril Xrtcspapcr Alliance
WASHINGTON, May 17.—Over
protest of the state department,
the house immigration committee
Monday will report out the Box
bill which drastically reduces im
migration from Mexico and puts it
under the national origins quota.
The Box bill practically is the
same as the .Harris bill that passed
the senate this week by a vote of
almost four to one.
The Box bill would allow 1882
Mexican quota immigrants to enter
this country annually. The Harris
bill allows entrance of approxi
mately the same number.
Up until the last year, immigra
tion from Mexico has averaged
about 58,000. But within the last
ten months strict enforcement of
the existing law by the state de
partment has reduced that figure
greatly. In April, for instance, only
about 550 immigrants entered.

TEXAN'S PLAN
FOR DIVISION OF
STATESTUDIED
North to Follow Step If
Proposal Goes Into
Effect.
81l Scripps-Bowned Newspaper Alliance,
WASHINGTON, May 17. —ls
Texas follows Representative John
Gamer’s plan of dividing into five
states, in order to gain additional
representation in congress, imme
diate steps to offset this gain will
be taken in the north, it was pre
dicted here today.
The Garner plan would give the
territory, which now is Texas, ten
senators instead of two, and several
additional members in the reap
portioned house of representatives.
If the Democratic party makes
the gains it is expected to make in
the coming elections, this difference
might be enough to give Democrats
control of the senate at least.
Can Sul>divide Freely
Any definite indication that this
might happen probably would cause
the present congress to look with
favor on requests that have been
made in the past for permission to
carve several new states out of the
boundaries of old ones.
Texas can subdivide at will, under
the terms on which she entered the
Union, but all other states must
have permission of congress and in
the past this never has been forth
coming.
However, St. Louis and Chicago
both have conducted active cam
paigns for statehood apart from the
rural districts of Missouri and Illi
nois, and other large eastern cities
are ready to follow their lead, ap
parently, if the opportunity is of
fered.
California’s Move Quickly
There has been much talk in
California from time to time of di
viding that state, and Califorians
here w r ere quick to revive it when
the Texas plan was presented.
Other western states have suffi
cient area to talk of division on the
basis Texas has, even without great
er population.
Any such rake for representation
between the different parts of the
country probably w’ould have for its
basis the prohibition issue. Texas'
new senators would add great
strength tp the dry representation
in congress, while if separate state
hood were granted any of the large
cities, they probably would elect wet
senators and representatives.

COMET NEAR EARTH
Heavenly Body Can Be Seen
With Naked Eye Soon.
By Science Service
BERKELEY, Cal., May 17.—Th
new comet discovered recently by
the German observers Schwassmann
and Wachmann may become visible
to the naked eye on June 1, and
certainly will be discernible with the
aid of a small telescope or a pair
of good field glasses.
The last few nights of May and
the first few nights of June will be
great times for the army of ama
teur telescope fans who make and
use their own reflecting telescopes.
With instruments of this type, the
new comet easily can be seen if one
knows where to find it.
The orbit of the new comet has
been calculated by F. L. Whipple
and Phyllis Hayford of the stu
dents’ observatory of the University
of California, under the direction of
Professor R. T. Crawford.
Their preliminary results indicate
the comet will reach its maximum
brightness on June 1, when it will
be only 8,000,000 miles away. This
is very close for another celestial
body to approach the earth, much
closer than any comet has been for
many years.
