6 HOUSE POSTPONES LYNCHING DEBATE After Hours Are Lost in ‘Seeking Quorum. A democratic filibuster, preventing the counting of a quorum in the House yesterday, resulted in an agreement to postpone further debate on the Dyer anti-lynching bill until after the holiday recess. Ten deputy sergeants-at-arms were unable to round up enough members to make the quorum, but as soon as the agreement was reached to post- pone consideration of the bill enough democrats filed onto the floor to make possible parliamentary proce- dure and adjourn.

When a roll call finally showed that less than half of the Ho mem- bership was ‘present Mr. Garrett made a point of order tha was not present and Speaker instructed the sergeant-at- round up absent members. Declaring that less than a half- dozen democrats were on the floor, the Speaker charged they were at- tempting to obstruct the bill. Ten deputies attempted to locate absentees, thirty of whom were need- «d on the floor before the House could transact business. After a two-hour tie-up, with little prospects that ab- sent democrats would appear to pro- vide a quorum, Representative Mo dell, republican leader, agreed, in co ference with Mr. Garrett, to delay b ginning of debate of the Dyer pro- posal until after the reces: —_— NEW CERTIFICATES LIKED.
