Reports to the board indicated that
Carmichael shot Deshazo Immediately
after the officer had attacked with a

there is not an individual opposed
to equal suffrage, who, Irrespective
of his former ideas, has not seen

women. themselves.
In other words, women of tho
progressive" variety, those who
have gone to work to undo dis

days, cannot agree as to the new
amendment which the national
woman's party plans to write into
woman's trade union league. in

blanket amendment to be- proposed,
in removing all discriminating"
features of laws and customs, will
remove also those special laws Sc
cured for working women after

strongly intimated, will oppose the
amendment giving women equal
rights in all possible respects with

rarity. as result of her report of
southern conditions, is very happy.
Here is the way in which she ex-
presses herself:
There is not single anti-suf
fragist left in the south. In in
creasing numbers, they are asking
their state legislatures to complete
the work of the suffrage amendment
by giving women political, civil
and legal equality.
Southern women are showing a
deep aptitude for politics and are
organizing campaigns for the cleo
ton of 'equal-rights' legislatures
thoroughly and effectively. Already
Louisiana has repealed thirteen dis
ordinations against it's women.
They may now hold all offices on
an equal basis with men. Alabama
defeated the equal-rights measure.
In Mississippi. the woman's party
bill will be introduced at the jan
uary session of the legislature.
Southern women realize that their
state campaigns will be long and
arduous.
1T is the wife and mother who is
most interested in this new work,
for she is closely effected by laws
which give fathers the sole. guaru
ianship of children, and husbands
control over the labor and earnings
of the wives, and which prevent
women from controlling their own
property Such Legislation is on the
statute books of most of the south
states. The woman's party bill
will remove all such discrimina-
tons"

LYNCH|NG
BILL IS LIKELY
TO BECOME LAW
Republicans Determined to
Put Measure Through as
Means of Striking Blow
AT South
BY HUGH W. ROBERTS


500 Davidson BniIding.
Washington, December 14.-(Spe-
cial.)-The anti-lynching bill, framed
by the republican party as means Of
striking blow at the south, will
very probably be enacted as far as tae
House of Representative is con
cerned, Saturday afternoon. Although
democrats Will greatly impede its
passage through the Senate its final
passage is apparently certain. The
republicans have caucused and agreed.
The bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Dyer of Missouri, and In the
beginning it was generally believed
that republicans, with large negro
population to cater to, would be salts
fled with active sponsorship without
insistence that it be written into
law. 1t develops today that the re-
publicans are determined to put 1t
through.
The bill would transfer all cases
involving lynching from state to fed
eral courts, would fine and imprlson
from five years to life anyone par
ticipating in a lynching, would i'm
prison an officer lax in protecting a
prisoner, and would fine the county
in which lynehing occurred $4,000.
Democrats are fighting the bill
strenuously. They contend and be-
lieve that it is unconstitutional in
that it warrants an invasion of states
by federal government. although it
Is probable that that section impris-
oning an officer found guilty of with
holding protection is constitutional.
Similar statutes obtain in Illinois,
Ohio and South Carolina. They have
not decreased lynching. Representa-
tive James f. Byrned of South Caro-
lima. leading the fight against the
bill. declares that during the IL years
an anti-lyniching provision has been
in the constitution of South Caro-
lima the lynchings have been only tw9
less in number than during the II
years preceding.

tor and much of the success of the

Party of Harmony

In the party there 10 no lack OF
harmony IT is true that there are
evidences of spirited "watchfulness
on the part of adherents of James Nj.
Cox and william G. McAdoo. But
there is no jealousy. The election OF
Mr.. Hull as chairman allayed the
anxiety of the McAdoo following,
which was attributable to the fact
that former Chairman George White
was a lieutenant of James NJ. Cox.
Mr.. Hull is satisfactory to Cox
Otherwise. he could not have been Sc
lected. He is satisfactory to McAdoo.
While McAdoo was Secretary of the
Treasury MIR. Hull wrote the income
tax law. The two had much in com
mon at that time.
And with Senator Underwood, who
is also reckoned as a possible candi-
date, Hull stands ace high. For, when
Underwood was chairman of the ways
and means committee, the Tennes-
sean was one of his right hand men.
So with Hull there came perfect
