.LYNCH|NG BILL
TO Be DEBATED IN
THE HOUSE TODAY
Democrats SoIidIy Against the
Measure - Would Place
Trial of Mob Law In
Federal Courts

Washington, December ia hot
fight will begin in the House tomor-
row on the Dyer anti-lynching bill,
which will be brought up under a
rule calling for 10 solid hours of gem
eral debate before the measure is
taken up, line by line, for actual
consideration.
Almost the entire democratic
minority was reported today to
have lined up aquarety against
the bill, largely on the ground
that II was unconstitutional and
an invasion of the police rights
of the states. Some republicans
also were reported against the
measure, although leaders pre-
,dIcted 1t would be passed by
vote which would adhere closely
In the main TO party lines.
Some doubt WAS expressed, how
ever, as to whether the House would
be able to vote on final passage prior
to the contemplated recess set for
December %. A number of members
now are absent from The city, and
many others are planning to leave
Washington before the recess. More.
over, q party OF about forty are on
trip to Panama and expect to be
away two weeks.
Some democrats have served no.
tice on Representative Mondell, the
republican leader, that II an attempt
is made to rush the bill through dur
ing the week they will demand the
constant attendance of a quorum.
The proposition OF Representative
Dyer, the bill would seek to put down
lynching by turning over the trial Of
mob law cases to the federal court
and by imposing n heavy penalty on
those partioipati ting and fines on the
county In which lynchings occur.
The county fines, when collected.
would be paid to the family of the
victim.
other Crimes
In recent discussion before the
rules committee opponents of the bill
asserted that If Congress should
step in to deal with lynchings A..
might just as we'll undertake to
handle other crimes which properly
belong in the sphere of the state
courts.
Chairman volstead of the judiciary
committee, author of the prohibition
enforcement act, will lead .he fight
for the bill, assisted by Representa-
tive Chandler, republican, New York,
annthers. while Representative SUM
ners, democrat, Texas; Montague

leader, will marshal the forces in op-

EXPLORER, IGNORANT
OF WARS END TRIES
TO ENLIST IN ARMY

NOME, Alaska, Dec. IAN Arctic
adventurer, B. d. Seaman, sailed into
Nome from the frozen north this
month and, not knowing that the war
, was over, tried to enlist in the Amer
| lean army so he could fight in France.
Seaman said he had been three
years getting to Nome from the Cor
onation Gulf country, which lies far
/ east on Canada's Arctic coast and dur
3, ing his journey had received no news
from the outside world. He left the
gulf. he declared. in October. 1918,
when he first heard the United States
! had entered the war. Seaman was
| formerly a member of the then Royal
Northwest Mounted Police.
Soon after Seaman started for
! Nome the small schooner on which
he was journeying was wrecked in the
! ice, he said, and he and his compan-
! ions were forced to walk q days be-
| fore they came TO an Eskimo village.
On their way they lived on roots.
| Describes Eskimo Life.
| Seaman gave an interesting descrip-
| ton of the life of the Eskimos of Cor
onation Gulf. The natives, he said
still use the bow and arrow but are
gradually getting accustomed to the
use of firearms, which were intro
duced recently. The natives live on
caribou and seal.
A rifle in the Coronation country
sells for $3.50, cartridges for 80 cents
each, sugar is 81 a pound butter $3.50

said. The cost of clothing, however
is lower, ''parka" cape being sole
