Tro"' me 1ribuns's Washington Bureau
"ASHlNGION, June 30.-Thc Senate
judiciary Committee o-day ordered n
favorable report on the Dyer anti
lynchlng bill, which passed the House
some time ago. In ordering the bill
reported, however, the committee ma
terially modified it and 0nade it less
drastic
The favorable report was ordered by
n vote of eight to six. The Senators
who voted for it were Dillingham;,
brandcgce. Cummins. Colt, Sterling.
Ernst. Shortridge and Nelson, Repub-
llcans. Those who voted against it in
cluded Senators Borah, Republican,
and Culbertson. Overman, Reed,

we're not present.
senator borah strongly contends the
b'll is unconstitutional. He was not
IN attendance. but voted by proxy at
the final meeting and there was little
argument at to-days session. Several
previous meetings Of the committee
have developed much contention, and
it is asserted that number of the
Senators who supported the motion to
report the bill are doubtful of its con-
stitutionality.
Lodge Urged Measure
Senator Shortridge, of California,
will report the bill, but will not be
able to do SO until a week from Mon
day. The fact that the committee
acted on the bill was due
in large measure to the insstencc of
senator Lodge, Senate Republican
leader. Opponents of the bill say that
Senator Lodge is pushing it for rea-
sons of politics in Massachusetts,.
In some quarters it was suggested
that the recent riots at Herrin had an
influence in the committee in favor Of
a report for the bill This, however.
is denied. In fact. the way for n re-
port was pretty fully paved before the
Herrin murders
Much doubt is expressed whether the
bill will ever be passed. Southern
Democratic Senators will fight it to the
limit. 1t is not expected a serious at
tempt to pass it will be made this ses-
sion, though it is likely to come up for
discussion.
The bin provides that any state or
municipal officer charged with the duty
or possessing the authorlty to protect
the life of any person that may be put
to death by mob who fails to make
all reasonable efforts to prevent such
crime shall be guilty of felony and
punishable by imprisonment and fine
not exceeding $1,000 Failure to make
all reasonable efforts to apprehend or
prosecute members of the mob is like
wise punishable. If the officer con-
spires with others in the lynching he
and the persons in the conspiracy are
held by the bill guilty of felony and
punishable by Imprisonment for life
or not less than FIVE years.
The bill gives the district court of
the judicial district where the lynch
ing occurs jurisdiction in anti-lynch-
ing cases.

lawyers, called on him and said they
represented the Nassau County Bar
Association. He said he preferred not
to talk while the grand jury was still
ir session.
Counsel for the prosecution sought
to make it appear that Justice Strong
knew of letter written by Mr. Hill to
Governor Miller asking that District
Attorney Weeks Of Nassau County be
superseded. This was vigorously de-
MED by Mr. Hill
Dr. John l.. Both, son of John Both
who was indicted by the Strong grand
Jury, testified that before the ndict-
ments were handed up Justice Strong
said to him:
"lf we indict Both and Weston, Wes-
ton will crawl from under and put the
blame on your father. will gladly
help your father if be gives US the in
formation we want don't expect much
help from the District Attorney, as he
is probably looking for another term"
Justice Strong, he said, told him that
among others we wanted to indict was
G. Wilbur Doughty, the Republican
leader of Nassau County, who had been
tried the preceding summer along with
Assemblyman McWhinney on the
charge Of having tipped off an alleged
gambling house. In that case the jury
acqultted Mr. McWhinney and split on
Mr.. Doughty.

Ward Gains Another
Point in Fight for Bail
Freedom Next Week Predicted
When Weeks Loses Appeal to
Withhold Evidence

Walter S. Ward won out yesterday in
the second stage Of the legal battle be-
tween his counsel and District Attor-
ney Weeks OF Westchester County
upon the result of which hangs the
issue of Wards Imprisonment during
the hottest month of the summer. In
the Appellate Division in Brooklyn
Justice Kelly refused to grant Mr..
Weeks a stay of execution, pending
appeal, of the recent order by Justice
Morschauser, which compels the Dis
trict Attorney to grant to the defense
the informal contained in the min
utes Of the grand jury which indicted
Ward for first degree murder in con-
nection with the killing of Clarence
Peters. AS result Wards imprison-
ment may end next week
Under the order Mr.. Weeks is COM
over to Wards counsel not later than
Monday. 1t has been clearly indicated
by the defense that following their in
spection of the minutes they will ap-
ply for a dismissal of the Indictment
on the ground that the evidence which
granted, Mr.. Weeks may hold his pris-
the grand jury heard does not Justify
so grave charge. If this motion is
oner on short affidavit, charging
second degree murder or manslaugnter.
Both of these offenses are bailable.
and it now appears probable that Ward
will be released on bail within the
next week, until the case is called for
trial at the October term of the Su-
preme Court.
Ward learned of the decision in
White Plains Jail, where he is en-
ployed at his own request in the
kitchen. He made no comment, but
seemed pleased at the news.

THE BEST DYSPEPSIA CURE


A London doctor speaks word for
cheerful thoughts and conversation
at meal time as the best preventive
of dyspepsia. 1t is good thing to
think about when winter closes down
with its predominancc of heavy food,
intense application to business, hur-
ry and lack of customary exercise.
Good food and good teeth contrib
ute toward good digestion. according
to the doctor, and an ordinary amount
Of chewing aids the digestive process
cs. but far most important Is a mind
at ease while food is being taken.
The business luncheon, he points
out. may be Il good thing CONNER
cially. but gaStronomically il is not.
Haste, worry, and the discussion of
disputed or vcXati0ns topics or any
thing which tends toward undue men
tai excitement, must be avoided if
good digestion is to wait on appe-
titc. and health on both.

TO WIN TIE PEACE

Clcmcnceau says his present ap-
peal to America is necessary because
there is in the world "a crisis which
has not yet been settled"
"ITow it will end" he adds, nobody
knows. If you (the Americans) take
the wrong side, then the war counts
for nothing and we may have to go
to war again. If the right thing is
done at the right time, then it will
be one of the greatest steps for
civilization of mankind"
This distinguished visitor may be
right or wrong in his particular view
of what ought to be done at this
time, but he is everlastingly right
in holding that something must be
done if the vast sacrifices made in the
war are not to be wholly wasted, and
that America can and should play an
important part.
The victory on the field of battle
has been half lost already in a chaotic
and quarrelsome peace. America in
tervened in the war and won it, when
the allies were helpless and the fate
of civilization hung in the balance.
Will America intervene to win the
peace? That seems to be the big
question now.

WOMEN JURORS

A recent canvass of the situation
revealed that 81 states and the Dis
trict of Columbia still deny women
the right to serve on juries. 1t is a
phase of our sex discrimination diff
ficult to understand.
When women are admitted to jury
service they have showed marked
ability. and it is stated in many cases
that the quality of justice has been
improved.
1t is difficult to conceive of a case
such as calls for a jury trial in which
women have not as legitimate inter
est as members of society. or on
which they are not as well fitted to
pass Judgment as the average male
juror.
In addition to their rights and fit
ness to serve. the experience and re-
sponsibility are good for women in.
dividually and collectively. A natior
which has given them the ballot can
not consistently deny them one of the
most important and educative oppor
tunties of citizenship.

WORSHIP By RADIO

On recent Sunday million reo-
pie are said to have "listened in" on
a church service in New York.
The church of st. Thomas. on Fifth
Avenue. was equipped with complete
radio sending outfit, and the entire
service, music. sermon, announce
ments. congregational throat clearing
and skirt switching and all other
familiar and incidental noises, was
broadcast for whoever cared to give
ear. Thus the service was spread
over an area of many thousand
square miles. reaching alike the stay
at-home in the big city. the rural
shut-in and the lumberjack in the dis
tance forest.
1t is an excellent thing, this vast
extension of religious services made
possible by the radio, Vet it may
well he doubted whether the vicarious
worship thus made possible is a
wholesome and effective as the good
old fashioned kind. where every par
ticipal looks his pastor and fellow
worShippcr in the face, in an atmos-
phete made sacred by long associa-
ton.

FRIDAY, DEC. 10, 1922
SHALL WE INCREASE TAXES?


Yes, if we want to be civilized.
The surest test Of civilization is the
increase of taxation. Taxes are very
light in the junglcs of central Afri-
ca and on the south sea Islands. They
are heavy in London. and New York,
and Cleveland, and Detroit.
Use Detroit for example. II is
the wonder city of America. Since
1900 taxation in Detroit has increas-
ed 1000 per cent. Assessed wealth
has increased GEO per cent. Popula-
tio, $50 per cent. Governmental ac-
tivities. 125 per cent.
In 1856 the population of Detroit
was 42.700. During the less than
seventy-five years up to 1921 the in
creases are the following: City ac-
tivities, S68 per cent population,
1926 per cent; assessed wealth, 3941
per cent; taxes, "a. 142 per cent.
Taxes tend to INCREASE more than
population or wealth, wherever the
community is really advancing.
As we live longer and know more
we discover more ways of doing
things together for the good of all
That is what taxes are for, to run
government of the people and by the
people and for the people.
The only serious question about
taxes is are we getting the most out
of the money expended? 1t is n SER
ious question, indeed. There is no
absolute standard by which efficien-
cy in government can be tested. But
no question can be more important
than finding and applying working
tests?
Is government a good investment?
At the rate the American people are
multiplying the activities of govern
ment, it is clear that they are con-
vinced that it is. They are finding
new uses for governmental machin-
cry every year, and building more of
it. Communities are getting togeth-
er. Doing things together through
their government is found the cheap
est and best way to do what all
need to have done for all.
Do you agree? What is the proper
field for governmental activity?
