DEFENDS LYNCH|AG
Says Widespread Feeling Government.

Was Responsible.

Washington. April e.--E~ery time
Theodore Roosevelts name comes up
in the United States senate there is
a rumpus.
Senator Overman. OF North Caro-
lima, leaped on the former president
today because Mr.. Roosevelt said In
q published editorial that the judici-
airy committees espionage amend
ments proposed q $4,000 fine or ten
years I'm Jail for any one who uttered
contemptuous or slurrlng language
about the president"
That statement is false and I'M
true and IL MIR. Roosevelt preserves
his former courage and love of truth
he will deny it," cried Overman.
AS an argument for the pending
amendments Senator Overman intro
duced a Telegram from Mayor ]. II.
Siegel, of Collinsviile, ILL.,. alluding to
the lynching of Robert Prayer. This
urhged more stringent laws" and
continued
The lynching was the direct re-
suit of a widespread feeling in this
community that the government will
not punish disioyaity and although I
deprecate the existence of this feeling
II Is nevertheless not without some
foundation. We have repeatedly re-
ported to federal authorities cases tof
disloyalty where no action has been
taken and probably could not be
taken by reason of the inadequacy of
the law"
