 Laws, Volstead Says.
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, Tho. Age Herald,

DUV UaNl0sUn bufl0tnB
 Washington. January 22,-(Speciai.l Representative Andrew J. Yolstead, chairman of the Judiciary committee of the House of Representatives, known throughout the United States by virtue of his authorship of the eN istlng prohibition legislation. admits the opinion that if the Dyer anti lynching bill is constitutional the federal government likewise would have the right of enforcing statutes against burglary and other crime in the several states
 It was regarded as remarkable admission for the chairman of the committee, in charge of the fight for the bill to make. But the chairman. on his feet, was confronted by the necessity of responding to pointed in- terrogations bN the ablest repubn- can, many other members hold, In the House, Representative James K. Mann of Illinois. Mir. Mann simply wanted to know if the chairman be- lieved that the federal government, If given the power to enforce statutes against murder-lynching- not also be entitled to enforce statutes against other crime. The chairman, after moments embarrassment and hesitation, answered In the affirma- tive.
 Another republican made an ad- mission which embarrassed the party. Representative Hamilton Fish of New York indicated an indifference as to whether or not the ball was constitu- tiOnsl.
 The negroes need protection,' he sald' and We as party must give them protection" There was laughter throughout the chamber. Fish, pro ceeding, added frankly that the bill would constitute an expedient politi- cal gesture for the republican organi- zation.
