Washington, Dec. 21.—A bill drawn
by former President Taft, designed to
enable the federal government to en-
force treaty provisions for protection
of aliens in the states, was introduc-
ed by Representative Bartholdt and
referred to the house judiciary com-
mission.
Lawyers in the house who saw the
measure did not understand that it
could apply to such situations as have
arisen in California and Arizona, but
would cover such cases as have aris-
en in other states, where aliens have
been injured and the machinery of
the state government gave no relief.
The bill would make such crimes
punishable in the federal courts as
well as in the state courts.
