PRISONERS RELIEF
Funds Will be Solicited Here For
This Organization

A new day has dawned for the one
time convict. Thanks to the sincere
and capable efforts of the Prisoners
Relief Society. Up to recently per-
sons leaving prison with the felon
brand found practically every hand
turned against them. DR.. E. Dud-
ding some years ago started the
Prisoners Relief Society down in
West Virginia and about five years
ago it was decided to make the work
national and the headquarters of
the society was moved to 500 E St. j,
y. w, Washington, D. c., and as
Mr.. budding planned the work has
become nation wide. Some sixty
thousand eN-convicts have been
saved by the society. and it is said
that the Prisoners Relief Society has
done more for men leaving prison
than any individual or organization
in the world
The society is we'll vouched for
has a strong board of directors
among the active directors are: Mrs
Stephen 3. Elkins, mother Of Sena-
tor Davis Elkins. of West Virginia
Mr.. Charles w. Warden, Vice Presi-
dent Of the Continental Trust Co.,
is Treasurer of the Society.
A young lady of Washington will
be in Alexandria for a week or SC
soliciting funds for the Prisoners
Relief Society and our citizens could
not find a more worthy charity,
Making good citizens out of mur-
derers, robbers. and thieves, is the
highest type of philanthropy.

LYNCHI|NC Bill.
PASSES House
BY $50 TO ll9
Eight Democrats Vote With
Republicans For The
Measure
SENATE MAY DEFEAT
Bill Provides Life Term For I.ynchers
And $4,000 to- Families of Vic
tins

Washington, Jan. 26.-Without a
ripple of excitement. amid scenes as
strikingly tame as the previous day
session was uproarious. the House by
vote of ESQ to 119 late Yesterday,
passed the Anti-Lyn"hing bill and sent
the measure over the Senate.
1t was another Federal enforcement
act to penalize both the participants
in lvnching bees and State and local
authorities who conspire with the
lvnchers or fail to perform their
duties as officers Of the law.
Neither cheers nor handclapping
nor other visible expression OF feeling
marked the final announcement OF the
Tote nor was there any attempt at
demonstration among the contingent
Of negroes in the sparsely-occupied
pallaries. 1t was a tame wind-up OF
what had threatened to be lively
climax Of debate Sn a measure whose
constitutionality had been challenged
and which brought up the issue be-
tfeen the functions of the State and
the Federal Government.
The hill in its final form was draft
&c by Representative Volstead. Of Min
nesnta. chairman of the House Judic-
iary Committee. somewhat widely
known as the author of the Prohobi-
ton Enforcement law. He offered it
rs an amendment. for the entire Dyer
bill! that had been before the House.
and it was adopted first as an amend
mcnt and then passed as the House
measure
Seventeen Republicans could not
yfollow the majority Of their party and
voted with the Democrats against the
hill. while eight Democrats voted with
the Republicans for it. as follows:
Republicans against: Barbour,
California: Brown. Tennessee: Clouse,
Tennessee: Curry, California; French.
Idaho: Herrick. Oklahoma: Herzev.
Maine: Jones. PENNSYLVANIA: Kelley,
Michigan; Dayton, Delaware: Luce,
Massachusetts: Nolan. California;

O'Brien. New Jersey: Rainey. Illinois.
Voting present Indi-
ana: Evans. Nebraska: Langley,
Kentucky: Robert, Pennsylvania.
Meyer, London. the lone Socialist,
voted for the bill.
Under the leadership of Repre-
sentative Finis J. Garrett, of Tennes-
see. acting Democratic lnoder. the
Democrats purposely ignored chance
offered by large group of Repub-
licans to devitalize the measure. thus
throwing the responsibility snua"oly
on the whole membership of the Re-
r"h'icon marty. Minority leaders ex-
rect the bill to meet its Waterloo in
the Senate.

MINING ENGINEER IS COMING
 TO DIRECT WORK AT HEALY

SEATTLE, Aug. 31-George Wat kin Evans, eminent mining engineer will leave for Interior Alaska on September g to assume charge ot coal mining operations for the Healy River Coal Corporation on Healy Fork.

TRADING SCHOONER CRUSHED
 BY HEAVY ICE OFF SIBERIA

NOME, Aug. 31-The trading schooner Eagle, owned by Charles Neussler and outftted by the Hud- son Bay Company, was wrecked re- gently fourteen miles east of North cape, and five miles of shore, by ice pressure as the result of the closing in of the ice about the yes sel. The vessel and cargo were lost but the owner of the schooner, and the members of the crew escaped and arrived here yesterday aboard the schooner Duxburry.
 The schooners Chukotsk, Blue Sea. Alaska and Silver Wave are all marooned by the ice in the same locality but they escaped injury at the time the Eagle was crushed.
 The Teddy Bear, which left Nome recently to rescue the members of the Stefansson expedition at Wran- gel island, was sighted near Cape Seize but it is considered doubtful Ii will be able to make its way thru the heavy ice along the coast. It was the intention of the Bears captain to stick close to shore un- til near North Cape, and then make straight for the island.
 The Cutter Bear, which also has arrived from the North, reports ice conditions in the Arctic the worst Tn many years. It was learned that Amundsen had definitely abandoned for the season his proposed aiebt across the pole, but expects to hon off .next spring.

Harding Is Not Friendly

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Aug. 31- Callers at the White House yester- day, who discussed with the Presi- dent the soldier bonus bill now be- ing considered in the senate, were given the impression that the ex- eeutive regarded the addition of the McNary reclamation and Simmons foreign debt amendments, adopted by the senate on Tuesday, as mak- ing the measure more objectionable than it was in its original form.
 The McNary amendment was an proved by the senate by a vote Of 43 10 26.
 The senate rejected, A to 27. the Bursum amendment proposing to pay the bonus half in cash and half in certificates of indeptedness payable in five years.

PRESIDENT OBJECTS TO BONUS
 BECAUSE OF TREASURY DRAIN

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 31- The four billion dollar soldier bonus bill, which has been debated in the senate during the last several days, was finally approved by the senate late this afternoon and now to conference for final consideration. The senate vote on the measure was forty-seven in favor of adoption and twenty-two against. Party lines were abolished for the occasion.
 It is generally regarded .as cer- tain that President Harding will veto the bill if it is finally adopted in it's present form. It has been indicated that the President is still of the opinion that the bill should not be- come law as it now stands for the reason that it does not carry the means for raising the needed reve- nues.
 As approved by the senate, the bill is scheduled to become effective January. 23, 1923. It provides for three optional plans under which veterans of the World War may derive the benefit of the bonus. other than those whose pay would not exceed $50, and who would be paid in cash.
