DYER BILL BEATEN
BY THE DEMOCRATS
Senate Republicans Give up Attempt
To Force Another Obnoxious Bill
On the South

Washington, Dec. 3.-Success crown
ed the filibuster of senate democrats
against the Dyer anti-lynching bill
yesterday when republican senators
in party caucus, voted to abandon the
the measure completely.
The republican majority acted after
the democrats by what is conceded
to have been one of the most scienti-
fcally conducted filibusters in the his
tory of the senate, had prevented the
transaction of, any business for the
fourth consecutive legislative day.
The obstructionist tactics of the demo-
Gratis, moreover were threatening
more than thousand presidential
nominations which if unconfrmed by
Monday noon when the special ses-
sions ends must be submitted again.
The republican caucus was preced-
ed by conference attended by Sem
ator Ladge, of Massachusetts, the re-
publican leader; Curtis of Kansas, re-
publican whip, and Senator Shro-
fridge, of California, in charge of the
Dyer bill.
Senator Shortridge, who had been
unmovable throughout the filibuster,
was understood to have agreed at this
conference to. allow the fate of the
bill to be decided by majority eau
Gus.
The question of abandoning the
measure, which was passed by the
house last session was debated in the
caucus for two hours with a small
minority holding out for a continua-
tion of the fight. The final decision
however, was to direct Sentor Ladge
to inform democratic leaders that the
bill should be pushed no further either
at the special session or at the regu.
lar session convening Monday. This
means the death of the Legislation
which the democrats have attacked as
force bill and as unconstitutional.

AMERICA AND JAPAN
SUSTAIN THE ALLIES
Won't Admit Right of Turks to Try
Foreigners in Ottoman Courts

Lausanne, Dec. 3.-American and
Japan both lined up with Great Brit
ain, France and Italy yesterday when
they took their stand against Ismet
Pasha's cantention that Turkey had
wiped out all the capitulations or ex-
ira territorial rights for foreigners,
by declaring the null in October, 1914.
Richard Washburn Child, spokes-
man for the United States, said that
if any legal dispute arises, the Wash
ington government will be obliged to
take. the same position as the allied
powers. He expressed the belief,
however, that the common interests
of all concerned in the Turkish situa-
tion will make it~possible to find sat
isfying guarantees to replace the
capitalulations which are distasteful
to Turkey.
Baron Hayashi, for Japan, said he
has great sympathy with Turkeys
dislike for capitulations, because
his government once labored under
the same system. Japan, however,
had taken twenty years to build up
a legal system satisfactory to the
foreign powers and Turkey, he be-
lieved would require the same time
for the same work. He begged Ismet
Pasha to consider this question with
great seriousness.

THEY'VE MADE A
NUISANCE OF THEMSELVES

That tough-looking bunch of men
and women, who under the guise of
street preachers have been making a
nuisance of themselves on the square
for several days and nights, excelled
themselves in impudence Saturday
night. Their favorite perch has been
in front of the Court Pharmacy, right
where the traffic is thickest the day
thru. Why the police. have allowed
them to stop there, we cannot under
stand.
Saturday night, they took up their
station so as to impede traffic both Oh
the square and South Main street.
Their raucous voices have been an un-
mitigated nuisance to the customers
of the Court Pharmacy, and the pro-
prietor asked them to take up some
other place. They refused, and, there
being no policeman near, Mr.. Walters
telephoned to the mayor. DR.. Peek
phoned Sheriff Thomas, who was,
present, and the sheriff asked the dis
turbers to move on. They not only
refused but told the sheriff he had no
right to touch them without a war
rant. Mr.. Thomas might have con-
vinced them they were mistaken, but
some of the city police appeared just
then, and he turned the job over to
them, prefering, as he said, not to
enforce city ordinances unless it was
absolutely necessary. The police,
however, seemed unwilling to tackle
the job. They labored under the i'm
preston they had no right to inter-
fere with street preaching. After a
while and some more phoning to the
mayor, action was obtained and the
hooligans left. They had however
made all the disturbance they wanted
to and probably went home satisfied.
Mayor Peek says he will put a stop
To all such meetings in places where
they obstruct traffic 'or cause trouble
to citizens. There is talk of passing
an ordinance to prevent such occur
rences, but there is already law
enough if the police will enforce it.
The police have a right to disperse
any crowd that makes disturbance,
and that bunch certainly made dis
turbance Saturday night.
Mr.. Walters is citizen, a business
man and pays a good share of the
taxes that keep the town going. He
has right to protection from any
thing that disturbs his patrons and
hurts his business.
The Star is not against street
preaching. 1t is aware that street
preaching has done much good and
may do some more. But in these days
of the automobile it should be carried
on in places apart from heavy traffic
This bunch at present affecting the
town is not trying to do good. If il
had any Christianity, it would have
quietly moved away Saturday night
when requested. 1t is made up Of peo.
pie who rejoice in causing any dis.
turbance that will call attention Il
them. They are not after saving soul:
but making a living without work.
