whitworth Presents Miss Mutton In
Piano Recital.

Miss Gertrude K, Mutton, one of the
accomplished instructors of Whitworth
Conservatory of Music was presented
in a piano recital at the Mary Jane
Hampton Auditorium Thursday evening
before a most appreciative and discri-
minating audience.
The occasion marked the first appear
ance of Miss Mutton in our city. At al
most the first touch of her matchless
fingers she became favorite with those
who heard her. Bach's italian Concer-
to Presto, 3rd movement brilliantly
introduced the program and was follow
ed by Chopin numbers-Humoresqu
Schutts Romancs, Campbell-Tipton's
Menuet Op. l. No. 2; Pagannini-Liszt-
Schumann-BeBussy.
The colsing number was MacDowell's
Concerto D minor, Miss Lois Cooper,
taking the orchestral part. Encores
were accorded both brilliant pianistes;
but Miss Cooper permitted Miss Nut
ton to acknowledge the plaudits of the
admiring audience alone thus gracious
ly giving precedence to the gifted
stranger within our gates.
Miss Mutton studied seven years In
a Nebraska Conservatory and then had
two years in, Berlin. The result of her
marvellous work and training was seen
in her art at the recital and her grace
full and gracious stage presence added
charm to her achievement on the piano
forte.
Brookhaven will be interested always
when Miss Mutton plays.

" Contested Msasure-sevsntsen
Republicans Against.

Washington. Jan. 26.-AThe House to-
day declared itself in favor of the gov
ernment exerting it's authority in an
effort to stamp out lynching. passing
by a vote of 23O to 119 the Dyer anti
lynching bill.
Seventeen Republicans Joined the
Democrats and one Socialist. London.
OF New York. voted with 221 Republic
cans in favor of the measure.
The bill provides life imprisonment
or lesser penalties for persons who par
tic1pate in Iynchings and for state,
county and municipal officials who fail
through negligence to prevent them.
The measure also stipulates that the
county in which mobs form or kill any
one shall forfeit $4,000 to the family
Of the victim.
Democratic opponents Of the bill de-
feated in attempts to recommit II to
the judiciary committee and to strike
out the enacting clause, made no con-
certed effort to have amendments a
dopted. They declared "the vicious
principle of the bill" could not be chan
ged by amendments but expressed con-
fidence that the measure never would
ISCSlNS Oendle approval.
Except for a few perfecting amend
ments offered by Chairman Volstead of
the judiciary committee amendments
proposed by individuals were rejected.
One by Representative French, Republi-
can, Idaho, would have eliminated the
provision requiring counties to forfeit
$4,000 to families of mob victims.
One committee amendment approved
removed from the bill the requirement
that counties through which a mob
passed should pay a $4,000 penalty.
THREE PERSONS MAKE A MOB.
Another one accepted defined a mob
as three or more persons, acting to-
gether to take human life illegally. The
bill originally defined a mob as FIVE or
more persons acting together.
During debate, which continued for
a month, opponents Of the measure de-
clared it would be an unconstitutional
invasion of state rights and would have
a tendency to increase rather than de-
crease lynchings. They also charged
Republicans were supporting the pro-
posal for political reasons.
Proponents. however, contended that
states, especially in the South, had
failed to handle the situation and that
to afford all races protection guaranteed
them under the federal constitution, it
was necessary for the government TO
take hand.

regularly once each day to carry off
this waste, as it is that the waste pipes
of your home be kept open and carry off
