HOUSE IN AN UPROAR
AS NEGROES CHEER
Defy Southern Democrats Dur
ing Debate on Anti-Lynch-
ing Measure.
Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. c., Jan. 25.


New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. c.. Jan. @5.
A brief period Of rather wild excite
ment interrupted proceedings in the
House of Representatives to-day DUR
ing consideration of the ant-lynching
bill by that body.
Negroes crowded all the galleries for
the debate. Representative S.ssor
(Miss.). speaking against the BILL said
no matter what law was passed lynch
ing would stop when the black rascals
keep their hands off women and chill
dren."
Representative Cooper (Wis.) re-
torted that 1t was the first time he had
ever heard lynch law justified on the
floor of the House.
Negroes in the gallery rose and
cheered. Southern Democrats shouted
from the floor: "Sit down, niggers," and
booed and hissed. The negroes retorted
and disorder and excitement ran high.
Representative Campbell (Kan), in
the chair, raped for order. Not getting
it he ordered the sergeant-at-arms to re-
store order on the floor and admonished
those in the galleries that they were
violating the rules by applaudng.
Floor Leader Mondell announced to-
night that he expects vote tomorrow
or Friday on the anti-lynching bill. and
he said he felt certain the measure will
be enacted by a safe majority despite
the determined opposition of the South
ern Democrats.
To remove some of the objections
raised during the discussion Of the bill
two amendments were agreed upon and
made a part of the bill as 1t now stands
which modify the provisions concern
ing punishment OF individuals who
take part in mob violence and COM
munities where lynchings take place.
Mr.. Mondell led the discussion of the
bill to-day and advanced some argu-
ments why it should be approved. He
stated that in the last thirty-two years
3,372 persons were killed in this coun-
try by murderous mobs. OF the VIC
tins 7t2 were white, many Mexicans
and $3.50 negroes. Fifty-one were
negro women and girls

AT THE OPERA HOUSE

Friday and Saturday-"Thunder-
clap."-Scenes of Derby days at prom
inent race tracks are vividly recalled
in the William Fox special, Thunder
clap" The piece de resistance of
many thrills and pleasing situations
being one of the most exciting horse
races yet seen either on the track or
on the silver screen. For the nOnce,
the atmosphere of the motion picture
fades into typical Empire or LatOnia
scene in which one finds himself again
good naturedly jostled by the vast
throng and struggling for point of
vantage as the entries parade before
the admiring thousands. Again there
is the suspense as the riders jockey
for advantage at the wire, the snap of
the barrier, the shout, They're Off"
the clatter of steel-shod hoofs, the sub
dued eagerness while the pageant
fairly flies down the back stretch, the
turn into the final eighth, the closing
squirt, the flash beneath the wire and
the shouts for the victor.
Monday and Tuesday-"Queen of
Sheba"-In keeping with all the ac-
counts and traditions of sple1dOr and
magnifcence attending the arrival of
the Queen of Sheba at the court of
King Solomon, more than three thOus-
and years ago, is the spectacular
photodrama"Queen of Sheba." The
sensational success of this remarkable
William Fox super-special in its open
ing run on Broadway, New York, is
easily understood by all who see the
picture. Scene after scene of extra
ordinary power and splendOr kept the
audience gasping with surprise ant
admiration, and more than once cheer
ing was heard-a thing to which mo
ton picture audiences are not prone
except when profoundly stirred. A.
stupendous spectacle, Queen o

"The Ruse of the Rather" a Western
romatic drama from the story by An
thony W. Coldewey. Mr.. MCGOWAN
plays the part of bad man who finds
some good in himself when he meets
a slip of a girl who has the courage
to defy him. "The Rattlesnake," they
called him, because, ike the reptile, he
never struck before rafting warn
ing. However, also like the reptile,
YOU had little chance after that warn
ing! He was a bad man, but he play
ed fair, and when he was "commls-
stoned" by Henry Morgan (whO never
did dirty work he could hire the other
fellow to do) to turn the Sandersons
out of their home, he resigned on the
lob. The reason was that he had look
ed deep into the beautiful eyes OF
Helen Sanderson, (played by Lillian
Rich,) and read there such courage,
determination and truth that all his
brute strength was powerless before
her challenge. From that moment
some divine intuition told the girl that
he was her champion, though this was
often hard for her to believe. That
was because "The Rattlesnake" had i
double game to play until he could
come out in the open. "The Ruse of
: the Rather" is heralded as top notch
/ Western thriller, full of plot and
counterplot, action, suspense and a
charming romance. One of the thrill,
/ is spectacular train wreck.

JUDGE FLORENCE ALLEN

The sixty-eighth Congress will moi
have a single woman representative. How
ever, women will be represented in the
judiciary branch of our government. if
not in the legislative and executive
branches. This was made possible
through the election of Miss Florence
Al'ca to the Supreme Court of Ohio.
Judge Allen, it might be said, is not
the first woman to invade the courts.
Women have been serving on juries dur
ing the last three years successfully and
have on several occasions appeared in
the role Of lawyers. Some have even
climbed to the position Of prosecuting at.
torncv. None has, however. been elected
or appointed to the high Office held BY
Miss Allen.
The election of a woman to the high,
est judiciary Office in Ohio should not
alarm anyone. If Judge Allen will fol.
low in the footsteps Of Shakespeare
Poriia, who based her judgment upon
reasonable mercy, Ohio will not repent
her choice.

Georges Clcmenceau comes TO America

is the hope of the Tiger of France to
create a state of mind in the American
people that will permit in the near future
negotiations between public bodies that
will lead to understandings capable of
producing results"
Clcnenceau received his first journal
Isle training in the United States as for
eign correspondent for lie Temps Of Par
is from 1896 TO 1869. At that time he
showed a superior understanding Of
America. With the experience Of years
he should be better able TO analyze the
conditions here than then, and better fit
icI by that ability to present the cause
Of France thln AM of his countrymen.
The former premier comes without off,
cial mission. but he has chosen for his
task that CT eradicating the idea that
France is miliiaristic and imperialisiic.
He defends the military budget of his
country saving that he has lived through
two German invasions and does not care
to see another one.
The people Of the United States will
keep silent while the great Frenchman
states his case and will listen carefully
TO his arguments If the great premier
cen point out a way that will make for
, permanent peace in Europe he will
have tine whole-hearted support of the

called attention to the fact that the uni

that the state universities Of this country
will eventually lead those privately en-
lowed. Backed by the entire wealth of
the states in which they are located and
aided by the federal government, their
growth is limited only by the vision and
generosity Of the people. 1t is only
question of which states are going TO be
in the lead
In some special fields Missouri Uni
versity has stood first because Of the
prominence of some members Of its fac

rectorship of Prof. c. II. Eckles of the

edly turned down invitations to serve

partments of the university, which have
