HOUSE BILL. FUTILE
Anti-Lynching Measure Clearly Un-
constitutional

con6t1eu6onA
Washington May 27.-Announce-
ment that the senate judiciary COM
mittee in it's consideration Of the
anti-lynching bill would endeavor to
frame a measure that will stand
the test Of courts and "will exhaust
every ounce of federal power" in
dealing with the situation, was
made by Senator Borah (Republi-
ean) Of Idaho in reply to an inquiry
by a negro organization as to what
was to be done in consequence Of
the committees decision that the
house bill was unconstitutional.
Senator Borah declared there
was no intention on the part of the
committee to abandon consideration
of the subject but added that the
majority of the committee was con-
vinced that to pass the house bill
was "a wholly futile thing" for the
reason that it would be a statute
only until it could be carried before
the supreme court Of the United
States.

STORY OF LANDER
TOLD IN PAGEANT
Thousands Attend Jubilee Event at
College Thursday and Friday
Evenings

GISSUWOOllS Ikety hS A4SSSAS
achievements and hopes of Lander
college were unfolded Thursday even
ing before the eyes of countless
friends, who had to view the histori-
cal pageant, the crowning event OF
Lander colleges jubilee year. Over
1000 spectators witnessed the pag-
cant Thursday and Friday evenings.
The pageant is the beginning Of what
is believed to be the greatest COM
mencement in the history of the
school, the celebration of the 50th
birthday of the college.
The pageant was given in the nat
ural an,phitheater behind the dormi-
tories under cloudless skies. Each
era in the development of the college
was vividly depicted from the first
days at Williamson as WILLIAMSON
Female college until the present day.
Wrapped in the sympathetic shad-
ews, older students of Lander lived
again the days of their girlhood as
familiar scenes paused before them.
Once more they saw Dr. Samuel Lam
der, acted by his son, DR.. Tertius
Lander, lead the college girls to the
famous Williamson spring, instruct
ing them as he went in the natural
sciences. The work and play of the
old college was shown and on the
grass carpeted stages, girls of the '8Os
once more played the gentle game of
"graces." -
From the removal of the college to
Greenwood until now, each phase of
development was portrayed. The
growth Of the college from a small
schcol to the present modern college
for women. under the direction of DR..
and Mrs. John o. Wilson was indicat-
ed and Lander's dreams for the fu-
ture were illustrated. Lander's sacri-
fees and service in the World war
were brought out vividly in scenes,
showing the farewell to loved ones
going overseas, the banishment of
luxuries and the service of Red Cross
and army nurses.
II The epilogue Father Time passes
accompanied by the years, alma ma
ter and other spirits taking part in
the pageant. The spirit of the future
lifts the veil from the face of the
spirit of Lander and the ideal woman
is revealed.
Many relatives of the founder took
part in the pageant. DR.. Tertius
Lander, a son, played the part of his
father, DR.. Samuel Lander. Miss
Carrie Lander, of Pelzer, a grand
daughter, was prolocutor, and Miss
Dorothy Lander, also a granddaugh-
ter, played the part of "the Lit
tie Mother, " Mrs. John o. Will
son, a daughter of the founder and
wife of the present head of Lander
college, took a prominent part in the
pageant. Over 800 adults and so
children were participants, all richly
costumed.
The pageant was creation from
the mind of Miss A. NJ. Tirrell, head
of the department of English at Lam
der. 1t was produced under the di-
rection of Miss Martha Race of Jack
sonville, Fla.
Many former students from all Sec
tions of South Carolina and the
South are here for commencement
exercises.

to him by thousands Of families in
the Chicago stock yards district, sew
eral hundred persons stormed his Of

declared had brought them financial
ruin. Six thousand residents Of the

victims.
Extra police were called to control
the crowd, which shouted threats
against the ~25-year-old broker, and it
was only when assured that Bischoff
was behind jail bars that it dispersed.
He's making us starve," "he ruined
us, let us at him." and other impreca-
tions filled the air for nearly an hour.
While Bischoff, who admitted he
was short $4. 500 900, insisted he had
played a lone hand in his speculations,
search was begun for his sister, who
was believed to be on or en- route to
the Pacific coast.

concerning $500, 900 worth of Liberty

TAX TO RAISE THE
BONUS is FROWNED ON
President Disposed FavorabIy Toward
Bonus, But Doesn't Want TO Up
set Stability.

Washington, ID. president Hard
ing is unalterably opposed to the en-
actment Of a special tax suggested to
finance the soldier bonus or to re-
turn to taxes which have been repeal
ed, it was stated officially at the
White House.
It also was indicated that the exec
utive was very much in doubt If it
would be possible to raise the re-
CURED sum to finance the cash fea-
ture Of the bonus under an issue Of
bonds without appreciably advancing
interest rates and destroying the fl
nancial tranquility which is sought.
The president, it was said, was dis
posed to be favorable to the bonus,
but his attitude had to be that OF
finding sane and sensible conditions
for the fulfillment Of promises with
out disturbing the desired return tc
financial stability.
1t was stated that Mr.. Harding's at
titude on the bonus question would be
made clear to congress in a communi
cation expected to be sent to the sen
ate and house subcommittee dealing
with the bonus subject.
At the capitol it appeared that sen
timent was steadily growing in favo
of an issue OF short time treasur.
notes of about $500, 000, 900 owe tn
80 months period beginning Januar.
!. 1929
Statements that George Washing
ton and Gen. Lafayette received bon
uses from congress were made in tn
senate by Senator Watson, democrat
Georgia, in support of the bonus legis
lation. Senator Watson replied to
speech made by Senator Borah, re
publican, Idaho, who contended tina
the government should have first con
Germ for disabled soldiers.
