SENATOR TOWNSEND DENIES

ChH~ctcrizing as untrue a special
dispatch to the Detroit Evening
News.!ournal of August Goth, in
which Jay G. Hayden, Washington
correspondent Of that newspaper, de-
clalwd that the Dyer Anti-L,ynching

1t was being used solely as a politi-
cal means Of holding the Negro vote
in line until after the November cleo
tons, Senator Charles Il. Townsend.
III Michigan, has wired the National
ASSOCIATION for the Advancement oi
Golorcd People to deny the implica-
patch, which is quite lengthy, de-
clares that it is the opinion Of the
writer that delay by the Senate in
acting on this measure is predicted
on the belief that the office of the
Attorney General of the United
States does not believe the bill to be
constitutional, although the writer of
the dispatch must or should have
known that large part of the favor
able report of the Senate Judiciary
Committee was given over to a
lengthy opinion of the Attorney Gen
eral that the Dyer bill is constitu-
tional. The dispatch further states
that number "of Republican Sena-
tors who are candidates for re~elec-
ton are badly scared. Many of them
as in the case of Senator Charles f.
Townsend in Michigan, pledged
themselves to vote for the Anti
Lynching Bill many months ago; but
they have not lifted their voice in
the Senate in favor of it, nor other
about its consideration"
The N. A. A. C. p. immediately
sent a copy of this news story to
Senator Townsend and asked him if
he cared to comment on the state
ments made therein. He Immediate
~ wired reply, addressed to Walter

reported by the Committee on the
Judiciary of the Senate and is now

absolutely no opportunity to call it

SAFE PLACE FOR VALUABLES
Harassed Citizens of American Cities
Should Welcome Idea That Comes
From Buenos Aires.

In these days of lawlessncss, when
the honest citizen cannot take a walk
around the block with any certainty
that he win not be held up by N
bandit. the novel idea of Antonio Mon
AGO, II citizen of Buenos Aires, ought
to lie of value.
He suggests suspenders with peck
cts attached to them-two pockets,
that is TO say. ach of them being
fastened with II buckle to the loop Of
the "gallus' mt the Fl ont. The lower
end of each pocket has two button
holes, which button onto the ordinary
buttons Of the waistband Of the trous-
ers, thus making the pocket flatly Sc
cure against the body Of the wearer.
To prevent escape of its contents, eacIi
pocket is provided with a buttoneJ
flap.
Few bandits would think of looking
for loot beneath a mans waistcoat,
and 50 the suspender pocket sh0uld
afford excellent hiding places for
money, Against pickpockets they
ought to furnish n perfect protection.

STORK MADE LONG JOURNEY
Bird Flew From Africa to Germany
With a Message From Exile to
the Fatherland.

The population of Liskau, Germany,
noticed II day recently that one Of
the many storks which annually re-
TURN to the neighborhood from distant
southern zones to rebuild their nests
was carrying something about its neck
which only human hands could have
fastened there.
Repeated efforts to approach the
bird had failed. but one Of the vii
layers finally lured the stork into his
barn and then and there learned that
the bird carried a little leather case
in which Il note was inclosed. The
note revealed that the stork had come
all the way from East Africa, where
"A German colonist, VIII Bucha, has
his little farm near Victoria lake.
Bucha must have anticipated that
the bird spent his annual vacation in
his beloved fatherland, so he wrote
Just a greeting to the fatherland.'

and railroad labor board decisions
which have been involved in the strike
may be taken, in the exercise of recog-
nized rights. by either party to a rail-
road labor board for rehearing.
Third-All employees now on strike
TO be returned to work and to their
former positions with seniority and
other rights unimpalred. The repre-
s~entatives of the carriers and the rep
resentatlves OF the organizations espe-
ciahy agree that there VIII be no .dls-
crimination by either party against
the employees VINO did or dld not
strike.
The railway executives were the
