OLD TIME WHALERS
POLISH HARPOONS

ergetic Preparation by
Cetacean Visitors.
OCEAN rs BEING SCANNED
Cap'n Bill Edwards Finds
Beach Strewn With Fine
Whale Food.

The big bull whale that biowed-as
the whalers say-his way into print last
Wednesday between the inner and outer
bars mile off Southampton, L. l.,
and lodged about for several hours
while all the old cap'ns down that way
cussed him because he wouldn't let them
stick their harpoons into his hide or
tickle him with dynamite-that whale
evidently has started something he won't
be able to finish. The same thing goes
for the other smaller whale and the still
smaller calf that were seen Christmas
Day no further than 200 feet from the
Southampton shore. For yesterday there
was overheard travelling up and down
the south shore the glad news that
Southampton contemplates going into
tho whaling game again even If her old
whaling cap'ns have to build new boats
and polish UP their old harpoons.
Yesterday morning Cap'n Bill Ed.
wards. who commands the Southampton
Coast Guards and thinks up yarns OF
the good old whaling days on the side
beach with the most powerful spyglass
In that part OF tho country under his
arm. He spent about three hours scan
hing the horizon and tha ocean, but none
OF the whales showed up. Cap'n Bits
presence on the beach was responsible
for the discovery, however. Of heaps and
heaps OF fine whale food that has been
washed up within the last few days
It is now believed that the big bull
whale and the middle size whale and the
little calf whale have come inshore to
enjoy Christmas season meal or two
aLd that they will undoubtedly hang
around until New Years or after.
1t Is seven years since Cap'n Bill
struck his last whale. The former Cap'n.
but now Postmaster, Frank White was
skipper of the boat and Cap'n Bill was
harpooner. But time hasn't hurt Cap'n
Bill, and with a little practice he will be
able to throw wicked harpoon.
While all Southampton was excited
to-day over the prospect Of once more
becoming a whaling town, there was
some slight feeling of anger over the
tone Of letter sent to John D. Cor
rigan. president OF the village. The let
ter ragged Southampton over the fact
that Amaganestt had to come to supply
the boat the day her Capns went after
'ho WHdic' anu tHcH the writer pro-
ceeded to inquire why chain wasn't
stretched between the outer and inner
bars while the whale was sporting and
spouting around inside. Cap'n Corri-
gan--you don't always have to be a
captain to be Cap'n-wants It made
Known as widely as possible that the
letter writer had a whale Of an idea
but evidently confused the meaning of
the word bar. as 1t applies to the under
water conditions off Southampton. with
It's meaning as It applies to the mahog-
any furnishings of cafes. He explained
for publication that chains cannot be
fastened with any degree Of success to
bit of sand.
The cap'ns want It known that they
can take care Of all the whales that
come their way and that they intend
going after them as a regular business

some defects so far detected. The fact Is
the measure was prepared with great
care after many conferences at which
amendments were discussed and some
adopted. While there have been some
differences of opinion as to details for
such q measure, the vast majority In the
House agrees that some such legislation
is absolutely necessary at this time.
"The real question before the Ameri-
can people is: Shall we as a people per-
nit the world. claiming, as We do. to be
the most enlightened and most advanced
nation, continue to allow other peoples
to point to us as the scene Of more mob
violence than that which takes place in
any other part the world? Undoubt-
cdly the finger Of scorn of other nations
is now pointed at us for not taking any
steps to check the mob outrages which
shock the sensibilities OF all civilized
peoples.

shall we continue to permit such
frightful and atrocious crimes as burn
ing at the stake without taking any
steps to check their occurrence and pun
ish the participants? We are convinced
that vast majority Of the American
people viii look with favor upon any
legislation which tends to remove this
blot from our national record
Mr.. Mondell discredited tho report
that the Republicans are divided over
the measure and that some of them take
the ground that 1t is unconstitutional.
He pointed out that few Republicans
on border States may be swayed by
Democratic propaganda to vote against
the measure. and, on the other hand,
some Democrats on the border States
may support 1t.
AS to the constitutionality OF the pro-
!osed measure Mr.. Mondell said that
any such legislation. where the Federal
police power is extended, suggests
grounds for difference of opinion. "Of
course If there were a clear, well de-
fined course Of action for the Govern
ment to pursue In such matters he
added. some such legislation would have
been enacted long since. OF course the
question OF States rights enter into the
matter. but in my judgment 1t Is no
iurther infringement than the prohibi-
lion law, which has been pronounced con-
stitutional by the Supreme Court"
Representative Crowther IN. W con-
Cured in the views expressed by Mr.. Mon
dell as 20 the certainty that the measure
will be passed. and that there is nc
marked division among the Republicans
over the measure Furthermore. Rep
resentative Crowther expressed the opin-
ion that some Democrats In the border

Southern Democrats Are
Lining Up Solidly Against
Measure.
ON CALENDAR NEXT WEEK
Mondell Says Legislation Is
Favored by Vast Majority
Of American People.

Special Dispatch TO THE New York HlaALp.
New York Herald Bureau
Washington, ID. c.. Dec. &c.
Despite strong opposition on the
part Of Southern Democrats, House
leaders are determined to keep the
anti-lynching bill to the forefront.
with view of forcing a vote on that
measure at an early date. They say
its passage is foregone conclusion.
Floor Leader Mondell said tonight
that the measure undoubtedly will
p.ecipitate animated debate in the
House, and strenuous efforts will be
made to prevent a vote, but all efforts
along that lire will be futile, as the
time has come to "end mob violence
IN this country"
Mr.. Mondell pointed out that the anti
Iynching bill is on the calendar for con-
sideration soon after rhe House reas-
senlbles next week, but he explained
that since much ilibustering will be
resorted to by the opponents he will
bring up from time to time for consid-
Grafton the supply bills, thus preventing
delays on important appropriation meas
Ires.
Judging from the temper of Southern
Democrats when the bill was before
the House last week, Mr.. Mondell said
that apparently they are lining up
solidly in opposition to the measure and
are preparing to make vicious attacks
on 1t. 'in spite Of the fact that many
leading Southern newspapers have Of
recent years urged some such legislation
TO curb mob violence. which seems to
be on the increase"
All Republicans for Bill.
Opponents Of the bill, in the opinion
OF Mr. Mondeli, are disposed to exag-
gerate the perils of the homo unless the
mob Is given free reign. He says the
slogan Of the opponents Is that the bill
encourages attacks on women.
From a survey of the sentiment in the
House Mr.. Mondell feels that prac-
tically all the Republicans are for the
measure, and II any members of that
party intend to vote against it they
are keeping their own counsel.
However, Mr.. Mondell went on to say.
before It's adoption the bill may be
amended to meet some vital objections
should they be pointed out during the
debate.
There is little or no chance that the
measure will be sent back to ths Judi
ciary Committee" he added, because OF
