ALLIED DEBT BILL IS
 ATTACKED BY BOTH
 PARTIES IN SENATE
End of Debate Not in Sight When Body Adjourned. May Reach Vote
 Today
By Associated Press

Washington, January 26.-The all
 lied debt refunding bill was sub
 jected again today to running att
 tack from both the republican and
 democratic sides of the Senate and
 was defended at some length by ma
 jority party leaders.
 When the Senate adjourned the end
 of the debate was not in sight but
 thought final vote might be reached
 tomorrow.
 In the first vote on an amendment
 to the bill late today an amendment was approved providing that the re- funding bonds should not bear in-
 terest at less than 4h per cent The amendment was suggested by Senator Simmons, democrat, North Carolina, as a substitute for the original finance committee amendment which would
 have provided that the rate of in
 terest should be not less than that
 provided for by existing law.
 The attack on the measure today
 was opened by Senator Johnson, re- publican, California, who warned the Senate that If the reported plan of tho administration to sell the foreign bonds to the American people was
 carried out you won't need a league of nations to drag you into an em- broglio across the water The bonds distributed among the people, he as- serted, there would be constant pres
 sure on the government to interefere in the affairs of the debtor nations. Johnson Amendment Supporting his amendment requir- ling congressional app. oval of agree
 ments entered into with the debtor nations by the proposed debt refund ing commission, the California Sem ator said Congress was responsible to the people and should not sur render its power to supervise the debt refunding. In this connection he at- tackled the secret -essions of the arms conference. declaring that a real disarmament program would
 have resulted had the sessions been held in the open for one week after Secretary Hughes had made him self hero by his masterful presen- tation to the world of the things America would do."

DYER LYNCH|NG BILL IS PASSED
 BY LOWER HOUSE
Democrats Declare Measure Will Be Defeated in Senate. Seventeen Republicans
 Vote Against Law
By Associated Press

Washington, January 26.-The House today declared itself in favor of the government exerting its aa- thorty in an effort to stamp out lynching, passing by a vote of 230 to 119 the Dyer anti-lynching bill.
 Seventeen republicans Joined 107 democrats in voting in the opposl- ton, while eight democrats and one socialist, London of New York. voted with 221 republicans in favor of the measure.
 Republicans who voted in the neg ative were: Barbour, California; Brown. Tennessee; clouse, Tennessee; Curry, California; French, Idaho; Herrick, Oklahoma; Hersey, Maine Jones. Pennsylvania; Kelley, Michi- gan; Layton. Delaware; Luce. hassa chusetts; Nolan, California; Parker. New Jersey; Robertson, Oklahoma Sinnotte. Oregon; Slemp. Virginia. Stafford, Wisconsin.
 Democrats who voted in the af- firmative were Campbell, Pennsyl- vania; Cochran. New York; Cullen. New York; Gallavan. Massachusetts; Johnson. Kentucky; Meade. New York; o'Brien. New Jersey; Rainey. Illinois.
 Life Imprisonment
 The bill provides life imprisonment or lesser penalties for persons who participate In lynchings and for state. county and municipal officials who fall through negligence to pre- vent them. The measure also stipu- lates that the county in which mobs form or kill anyone shall forfeit $10,- 900 to the family of the victim.
 Democratic opponents of the bill, defeated in attempts to recommit 1t to the judiciary committee and to strike out the enacting clause, made no concerted effort to have amend ments adopted. They declared the vicious principle of the bill" could not be changed by amendments, but expressed confidence that the meas ure never would receive Senate ap- proval.
 Except for a few psrfecting amend ments, offered by Chairman Volstead of the judiciary committee, amend ments proposed by individuals were reflected. One by Representative French. republican, Idaho. would have eliminated the provision requiring counties to forfeit f1o,0o0 to families of mob victims.
 One committee amendment ap- RTONGa f6fuOf6u LfOHl luc pll4 Lua Ac- quirement that the counties through which a mob passed should pay a s10,000 penalty.
 Three or More Persons
 Another one accepted defined a mob as three or more persons acting together to take human life illegally, The bill originally defined a mob as five or more persons acting together.
 During debate which continued in- termittently for a month. opponents of the measure declared 1t would be an unconstitutional invasion of state rights and would have tendency to increase rather than decrease lynch ings. They also charged tho repub- licans were supporting the proposal for political reasons.
 Opponents, however, contended tha, states especially in the south had failed to handle the situation and that to afford all races protection guaranteed them under the federal constitution 1t was necessary for the federal government to take a hand.

 CITY IN SEARCH

Man With Crime Record Per- petrator of Murder Is the Theory of Pollce-SeV-
 eraI Arrests Made

Birmingham is being combed by the police in an effort to locate the axman who assaulted Tony Loreno and his wife, Rosa, at their combina- tion grocery store and residence Wednesday night. While several negroes answering the description of the assailant given the police by Loreno have been taken into custody and investigations made, nothing definite has yet resulted.
 The police are working on the theory that the assailant of Wednes- day Is the same one who killed MT. and Mrs. Crawford on the night of January 10 In their grocery store less than three blocks away.
 "1'hs crime was undoubtedly com uitted by a man with record" stated J. K. Jones, one of the de- tectives assigned to the case and the similar manner In which this and tho Crawford case were planned and ex- eeuted, lead to the belief that the as- sailant in both instances is the game"
 Police records of crime waves wherein the primes have marked ele- ments of similarity, show that in the majority of cases they can be traced to tho same person.
 Tendency of Crime
 ''The very nendishness of the ax as- saults convince mo that they could have been committed by only a hard ened criminal and ono with q police record of long standing. The tend ency in crime Is to a gradual increase in the seriousness of the offenses committed and believe that this man having committed one murder would not hesitate at another at the slight est opportunity
 The negro sections of tho entire city are being combed thoroughly and no stone is being left unturned to ap- prehend the ax fiend,a said Chief Fred McDuff Every man with police record is being watched, and any man to whom suspicion might point will be arrested and a thorough inves tigatlon made. We are working by the process of elimination and while it takes time the result is inevitable in the long run"
 While the entire Birmingham police force is constantly on the alert for the would-be murderer, Officers c. F, McCombs, J. B. Jones. J. T. Moser and O. D. Brown, as a special detail, are concentrating their efforts on the case, In addition to numerous others that are being assigned from time to time

 Until Wednesday night when Tony Loreno was conscious enough after the Henry the Hacker" had hit him, to recognize his assailant as a negro and to shoot at him first with a re- volver and then shotgun, the exact identity of the person involved was mystery.
 Since the first crime of November the theory has been it was a negro who made the assaults. The crimes were all committed in section in which negro population was large, or
