:. 0N::tYNCH|NG. BILL
DEBATE IN HOUSE BROUGHT
TO CLoSE-DEMoCRATS HOW
EVER, ALMOST SOLID IN oP-
POSITION WITH SOME, REPUB-
LICAN SUPPORT.

Washington, Jan. 26-Debate in
the house on the Dyer anti-lynching
bill was concluded today and the
measure was taken up under the five
minute rule which affords members
an. opportunity to offer amendments.
Republican. leaders announcing that
the bill would be kept, before the
house until a final vote was reached.
said they were confident it would be
sent to. the senate late tomorrow or
Friday. -. @.. '.,
Roll calls during debate indicated
that proponents of the measure were
in majority but it is expected that
a number of drastic amendments will
be offered in attempt to alter amend
ments which call for heavy penalties
in the way of fines and Imprisonment
for persons participating in lynch
|ings and for. officials who. through
negligence fail to prevent them. The
bill as it stands also provides that
counties in which lynchings occur
must forfeit $4,000 to the families
of the victims.
Democrats are said to. stand prac-
tically solid in opposition although
two minority members, Representa-
tives Cochran and Griffin, both of
New York, spoke in favor of the bill
today. Several Republicans have ex-
pressed opposition to it and a num-
Der Of Republican members are ex-
pected to vote in the negative on the
final roll call.
The session today was marked by
verbal clash between Representa-
tives Sisson (Democrat}- Of Mississ-
ippi and Cooper (Republican) of
Wisconsin which threw the house in
to confusion with several hundred
negroes in the galleries joining in a
demonstration that was silenced with
difficulty. The flare up occurred when
Mr.. Cooper declared Mr.. Sisson had
"openly advocated" mob rule. Mr..
Sisson during an attack on the bill
had described conditions in the South
and had contended that mob vio-
lence could not be stamped out un-
til "black rascals keep their hands
off the throats of white women"
