After slumbering in the Senate judiciary committee since last Janu- ary, the Dyer anti-lynching bill was yesterday ordered favorably reported to the Senate, by a vote of 8 to 6. Senate leaders expressed doubt of the passage of the bill at this session, owing to the pressure of other legis- lation. from the form in which it passed the House the alteration designed to meet constitutional objections whickh were raised. A subcommittee of the Senate-only recently held that the bill is unconstitutional, and that view is said to be shared by some senators who support it, but who insist that the bill should test of constitutionality Supreme Court. The bill decl left to the es that if states fail, neglect or refuse to maintain pro- tection of life they shall be deemed to have denied the constitutional guarantees and the federal author- ities will have power to act by indict- ment of state officials or members of a mob and trial in the federal courts. The measure requires ‘“reasonable” efforts by state officers to maintain order and protect prisoners and their failure would subject them to im- prisonment for five years and a fine of $5,000. Members of mobs in which a pris- oner is put to death would be sub- ject to conviction for conspiracy, with imprisonment for five years to life provided. Counties in which fatal mob_disorders occur would be liable to the family of the victim under a forfeit of §10,000. The bill has had an unusually bad course in the Senate committee after a stormy birth in the House. After lying in the judiciary committee without action for several months Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, re- publican leader, and other republicans started the movement for disposition by the committee which culminated in yesterday's favorable vote. Re- publican leaders were doubtful, how- ever, whether Senate consideration could be secured at this session. Chairman Nelson, Minnesota; Dil- lingham, Vermont; Brandegee, Con- necticut; Cummins, Iowa; Colt, Rhode Island; i a; Ernst, Kentuc lifornia, voted in favor of the bill. One re- publican, Borah. of ldaho, and five democrats, Culberson, Texas: Over- man, North Carolina; Reed, Missouri; Shields, Tennessee, and Walsh, Mon- tana, were recorded in opposition. ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE AT ISSUE WITH WEEKS Protests Statement of War Secre- tary That Prohibition Is Cause of Unrest. DENVER, Col July 1.—Delegates from twelve states attending the regional conference of the Anti-S: loon League have unanimously adopt- ed a resolution protesting against ements reputed to have been de by Secretary of War John W. Wecks, blaming the prohibition law for unrest and declaring that Mr. Weeks would vote for the return of wine and beer if he were a member of Congress. Secretary Week’s attion is termed “apparent official disrespect for the federal Constitution” and ‘“encour- agement to the spirit of lawlessness” in_the protest. The conference also adopted a resolution demanding that the eight- :nth _amendment to tion “be enforced in every foot wof our territory, inciuding ships flying the American flag and foreign vessels entering American ports.” MARYLAND BANK CASHIER GETS 4 YEARS 6 MONTHS Edward Olmstead Pleads Guilty to Defalcation in First National at Union Bridge. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, July 1—Edward F. Olmstead, defaulting cashier of the First National Bank of Union Bridge, Md.. was sentenced to four years and six months in Atlanta prison, in United States court, upon entering a plea of guilty.

ATLANTA, Ga, June 30.—Gov. Hardwick declared yesterday that he favored a law forbidding the wearing of masks in public, that the state does not need masked men and that there will be no_“invisible” govern- ment in its boundaries as long as he is chief executive. The statement was made during a brief _address before the conference of the newly organized Georgia League for Enforcément of Law Through Constituted Authority, and Gov. Hardwick devoted mucl of his time to a discussion of the Ku Klux Klan. He had been invited to join the organization, he said, and had read its literature, but had declined the *invitation. Officers of ‘the klan, the governor said, had told him that mob outrages laid at the door of, the klan had not been perpetrated by it. “It is unfortunate, however, that groups of men in such\ affairs use the same regalia as the klan,” the governor added, and told the members of the league that he would send any necessary aid to sheriffs and 1 judges of Georgia counties who asked | | rages by bands of masked men, de- claring martial law, if necessary.

KNOCKOUT ENCORE BY THE DUKE OF YORK LONDON, June 12.—The Duke of -York, second son of the King, Wwill repeat this year the experl ment he made last year for what has been called “the discourage- ment of snobocracy and the en- couragement of democracy.” So thorough an understanding was then established between boys from Westminster School and boys from a Welsh steel works, follow- ing a foot ball match, that a sum- mer camp was set up by the duke to encourage good feeling between boys of different social status. Two hundred public school boys, with an equal number from con- gested and industrial areas, were invited to share the camp. The selection of the boys and the arrangements for the camp this year are in the hands of the Industrial _Welfare ‘Soclety, of which_the Duke of York is presi- dent, but beyond that the society will ‘have nothing to do with the project. - In order that the boys meet on terms of perfect equality, cricket, foot ball and kindred games will not be played because it is felt that public school boys, having more opportunities for 'practice, would hold an advantage over the other boys at such games. They will be divided into sec- tions of twenty, ten being public school boys and ten industrial lads. They will share the sam¢ huts, eat the same food and engage in the same sports and recreation. SAYS BRICKS FLY FROM GLASS HOUSE 1. W._W. Official Scores Sen- ator Myers for Criticising Illinois Over Mine Disaster. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 1.—Picturing United States Senator Henry L. Myers of Montana as standing in the door of a glass house throwing brickbats at passersby, Harry Feinberg, secretary of the general defense committee of the I. W. W., made public a letter to the senater yesterday criticizing his denunciation of the Herrin, 111, mine massacre. Mr. Feinberg recalled in his letter the lynching of Frank Little, I W. W. organizer, at Butte, in 1917; the death of 164 miners in a fire at Butte in 1916, and the killing of two strike pickets at Butte in April, 1920. There is no record, he said, that Senator Myers ever protested against these occurrences in his own state, or did anything to bring the guilty to justice. Part of the letter follows: “There is no question that the Her- rin killings were horrible, and it was reprehensible that the mine owners there attempted to take bread and butter out of the mouths of the work- ing men and their family through the use of thugs and machine guns. “But whatever —the horror or wherever the blame may lie, criticism of the state of Illinois, as a ‘disgrace to the nation’ comes with questign- able propriety from you as a senator from Montapa. Your own common- ith has a dark and bloody record destroyer of human lives. 'he mine owners responsible for those 164 deaths were never pun- ished. Did you ever make an effort to have them punished? — Thugs employed by the Anaconda Copper Mining Company in Butte fired in.cold blood on unarmed pickets traversing a public road in daylight in April, 1920. Two of the pickets died~ Nobody was ever punished. Did vou issue any protest then?

The Department of Justice, whose lease upon the building it now oc- cupies was up vesterday, will cont{nue to occupy the premises, in spite of requests by the owners for approxi- mately more than two and a half times ‘as much rental as Congress has appropriated. The rental asked for by the own- ers, through F. H. Smith & Co., was understood today to be more than $200,- 000, while Congress has appropriated but $75,000 for the coming year’s rent. Although the lease expired yesterday, officials of the department said that There would be no doubt, however, but that the Department of Justice would not move. —_— CELTS ON DECREASE.

Of these, the highest increase, from 2,135,- 000 to 3,365,000, or 57 per Cent, was re- ported for the Italian mother tongue group, while the Polish increased from 1,684,000 to 2,436,000, or 44 per cent, and the Yiddish and Hebrew from 1,664,000 to 2,043,000, or 22 per cent.

Coffin, former chairman of the aircraft board and now chairman of the advance com- mittee on organization of the Na- tional = Aeronautic Association, de- clared while in Washington yester- day, en route from Detroit to New York. / Mr. Coffin said the movement in dif- ferent cities and states to regulate flying reveals the fact that naviga- tion In the air has reached that plane in everyday life in those localities where it becomes necessary to effect such leglslation. In New York, he stated, a well thought-out ordinance has laid down in a few words certain aerial traffic laws, and makes no at- tempt to license, register or inspect airplanes. This step was_taken pos- sibly, Mr. Coffin stated, because of the practical inability to enforce anysuch legislation and probably because it Is wished to leave to the federal law makers - this important function so that a standard in this respect might prevail throughout the whole of the United States. Ban om Trick Flying. The New York ordinance, Chairman Coffin_explained, forbids trick flying or aerial acrobatics. Airplanes com- mercially must appear over New York, but “custom and common Fense teaches us that it would be foolish for them to do stunts. Stunting is highly desirable and extremely inter- esting, but the public will be satisfied with its indulgence over the estab- lished aviation flelds.” The regulations also prescribe that the aviator must always have a pos- sible landing fleld available at all times, and state that at not time, ex- cept at the beginning or ending of a flight, should the airplane be flown lower than 2,000 feet. Dropping of hand bills, equipment, containers, circulars or cards from airplanes is forbidden, Mr. Coffin con- tinued in his recitation of the New York law. Like on the ground, he d, “the right-hand right of way will prevall and provision is made whereby heavier-than-air must give way to lighter-than-air.

D, July 1.—With the nomination of Gov. R. A. Nestos and Lynn J. Frazier for govermor and senator respectively on the republi- can ticket definitely assured, interest today was directed to the nomina- tions for other state officers voted on in Wednesday’'s primary. The probable plurality of Gov. Nes- tos, independent, is set in Independ- ent sources at from 8,000 to 12,000, and the same sources place the plurality of Frazier, non-partisan, at 4,000 to 6,000, as against the 15,000 lead the league heads claim for the latter. 1t s admitted in league quarters that defeat of other independent state officers seeking renomination would result only from very material de- flections, and in available returns on these nominations there has been no evidence of such turnovers Senator Porter J. McCumber, whose defeat by Frazier had been conceded by his friends, showed unexpected strength in some of the strong league precincts, whereas he—ran far behind Nestos in_some strong independent districts. McCumber was not indorsed | by the independent state convention. The Fargo Forum, which supported Nestos and other independent candi- dates, declares the congressional con- tests in the republican party resulted in the nomination of all incumbents— O. B. Burtness, indcpendent, in the first district; George Young, inde- pendent, Sinclair, nog-partisan, in the third. Leaguers have not conceded the nomination of Young. — The independent forces suffered some losses in the legislature.
