Hustled BILL INSTEAD

The drastic Graham anti-seditiou
bill Is dead. This was oficially an
nounced yesterday by Chairman Camp
bell, of the House Rules Committee.
who stated that the committee had
decided TO refuse a special rule for
House.
The matter now will be referred
back to the Judiciary Committee,
which is expected to report out new
Legislation based on bill intro
duced by Representative Hustled,
Republican, of New York.
"A man. under my bill. would be
perfectly safe in advocating the
Soviet system of government for the
United States. II he sought to have
lot" said Mr.. Hustled. He might
favor a sultan, caliph. shah. emir.
pasha or any other kind of a grand
exalted potentate SO long as he did
not advocate force and violence to
bring about the change"
Hustled Bill Satisfactory.
The provisions of the Husted bill.
said Mr.. Campbell. are satisfactory
to him and the other members of
the Rules Committee and also are
approved by the Judiciary Commit
tee. 1t will be taken up by the
committee upon the return Of Chair
man Volstead, who is i'll.
Expaining the provisions of the
bill. Mr.. Hustled said: 1T defines
criminal anarchy and provides PEN
altles for that offense. 1t contains
no conspiracy clause, no death PEN
atty and is solely confined to the
punishment of persons who advo-
cate the use OF force and violence
to destroy the government of the
United'States or its laws.
MY bill is modelled after the New
York statute, which has proved very
effective. 1t should not be referred
to as an 'anti-sedition' bill, as 1t
deals in no way with sedition, but
solely with criminal anarchy. which
no law abiding citizen of the United
States will defend"
Representative Siegel. OF New
York. originally introduced a bill to
make the New York statute a Fed
eral law. The Hustled measure,
however, goes some further by pre-
venting the receiving or distributing
OF funds for the purpose of d!ssem-
mating criminal anarchy.
Defines Criminal Anarchy.
The definition of criminal anarchy
as contained in the Hustled bill is:
The doctrine that organized gov
ernment or any of the laws or au-
thority thereof should be changed.
defeated. or destroyed by force or
violence, or by assassination of the
executive head or of any of the ex-
ecutive officials of government"

Weather Man. Just Won t

Discomfort.

Washington. as regards weather
conditions. is between two fires.
paradoxically speaking. and dan
gerously near either one or the
other.
Which one will you have, ice or
slush? The ice that gripped the
streets in a smooth and slippery
sheath yesterday degenerated into
slush. Poor old Mr.. Sun poked the
top of his usually blazing head
through the misty skies, but it
looked pale and anemic. Then he
went to bed early. Maybe he has
the flu"
In the night Jupiter Pluvius took
the stage and pulled a little of the
moisture which the poet refers to
as "the blessed, blessed rain" 1t
was a cold, bleak drizzle.
The fate of Washington is in the
hands of the weather man. With
no good walking. no sunshine and
no shedding in prospect, the oracle
of the barometer smiles hopefully
and says:

Senators present included Lodge,
New Lenroot and Kellogg.
While Republicans at the confer

the Democrats again Thursday
morning. they declared at the same
time that their position has not
changed. and expressed the belief
that Thursdays conefence will not
be fruitful of any gain in the direc-

toward having the treaty taken up

after Thursdays conference.
Await Wilson's Word.
Before entering the conference
Yesterday. Senator Hitchcock was
IN communication with the White
House,
There were indications today that
another attempt will be made by the
Democ rats to get some expression
from President Wilson before they def
initely abandon the present COM
promise effort.
The intervening period. however, is
to be spent by the Democrats in TAX
ing poll of the Senate to discover
whether it will be possible to get a
SUFFICIENT number of Republicans to
join them in supporting the motion TO
bring up the treaty.
The Democrats have hopes of he.
ing able to get 43 Democrats and
IL or 15 Republicans to vote for
Senator Hitchcock's motion. The
Republican recruits they expect to
set from the ranks of the mild
reservationists."
In Senator Hitchcock's answer he
quoted the language of a substitute
reservation on Article X and made
the assertion that most of the mem

raised an issue of veracity between
