The backers of the Duuiup bill will

report will have a m'rt oii to place
it in the favorable calendar.
Senate May Cat Active.
Either of the two measures may
precipitate lights that will make Die
session memorable, or that may pro
long it beyond tha hypothetical hour
of adjournment. The Senate, to be
sure, has thus far ahown nothing but
the utmost friendliness to Com mis
sioner Watts, but some opposition
that baa aot yet found expression is
threatening to bring np this measure,
which he opposes vigorously and base
a record vote oa it.
Tke fight over tax penalties ia four
years old. It aplit the session in
1920, widened the breach at the reg
ular session last winter, and oa Sat

Washington, Dee. 18. All this

lynching bill Uat wae introduced
some time ago by Representative
Dyer of Missouri. President Hard

Mi hia inaugural address and Con
gressman Dyer baa followed ttrls np
witk hia bill, a r- aeure, ia
which there is evidence of Republi
can politico playing a big hand in
catering to the negro vote.
' Tha program for the- week, or Uat
part of It that will bring adjourn
ment on Thursday for the Christ
mas holiday receas, is set forth on
the notice issued by Republiesn
Floor Leader Mondell to be "debate
on the anti lynching bill. No date
is set for a vote on the measure, it
is simply that Monday,- Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday be con
sumed in talk. Tha committee ma
jority report recommendation ia
"that the said bill do pats," this
signed by the Republicans, while the
minority Democrats filed strong dis
senting views.
Provides for Heavy Peaaltlea.
The bill provides that where a
State government ''fails, neglects, or
refuses to provide and maintain pro
tection to life of any person
within Its jurisdiction against a mob
or riotous assemblage" it shall be
held to have "denied to such person
Uc equal protection of Ue laws of

any pertoa who is lyaehed who
"fails, refuse or neglects" to make
all reasonable efforts to prevent Ue
lynching or to arraat aad prosecute

prevents an officer from apprehend

person ie to be held guilty of a fel
ony aad whea found guilty shall be
imprisoned for life or aot leas thaa
Ire years. It is farther prescribed
that tha county in which - lynching
takes place shall forfeit 110,000 to
be paid the family of the person
lyaehed, where there ia bo relative
the money to go to Ue Halted
State. Ia each eases payment of tha
10,000 eaa be ordered by the court
by a levy npoa tha property of tke

each eounty is made severally aad
Joimly liable to pay the 110,000.
The minority holds the bill to bo

if enacted and operative "it would

Secretary Davis Claims Curt
ard Line Violates Immi
gration Laws
Washington, Dec I. Secretary
of Labor Davit hat qrdered fines
to the limit of Ua statute assessed
sgainst tha British Cunnrd Stesmship
Line and hae asked the State De
partment to make diplomatic repre
tentations to the English govern
ment sgainst what he officially elaa
sed "as a bold, and I believe a know
ing attempt, on the past of the com
-pany to violate the Immigration law
either because of the paltry profits
to be gained Uereby wr to discredit
our immigratioa policy.
The . circumstance complained ef
arises out of Ue1 arrival ea Decem
ber 10 at New Tork of the liner
Aqultanta with 300 Hungariaa im
migrants, despite Uat ba December
1, the immigratioa bnreaa had an
sou need to nH steamship lines that
the quota of immigrsata from Hun
gary legally entitled to enter Ue
United States np to July 1822, was
eihausted. Mr. Davit has likewise
sddressed a letter ta Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty asking for a legal
opinion aa to what actios eaa bo
taken in "an appalling situation
which haa arisen by the -reckless
disregard of the law by steamship
companies.
'"Since the enforcement of the new
immigratioa set, which limits the
number of aliens entitled tp enter
the United States in any one year
to a definite percentage of the num
ber of -that Netionslity nlready resi
dent in the United States, the immi
gration authorities have been in
practically constant controversy with
steamship lines which they hare
charged wilh deliberate intent to
make the law futile. The situation
hat been enlivened, by midnight
races to Ue port of entry between
vessels carrying immigrant cargoes
fvtwa aaaatriea whose dwindling qoe

This vessel is said to kava tailed
from Cherbourg ea or aboat De
comber 4, it being understood Uat
the Hungarians were embarked at
this port. Soma of these aliens were
admissible ander exemptions found
ia Ue law, but at the last eount KM
of them had been found to be maa
dstorlly deluded from admissioa.
Writing to the Attorney General,
Mr. Davis aaid that ia hia opinion
"the awful wrong being perpetrated
aa Ueaa poor aliens, eaanot be pre
vested except by Ua imposition of
these fines. The heart el Amencaas
