not only to bring relief from "exor-

BONUS BILL To be
CONTINUING ORDER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.---After
brief hearings beginning Tuesday,
the ways and means committee Of
the house will undertake the franz
ing of a soldiers bonus bill at once
for report to that body. where il
probably will be a continuing order
of business until passed, according
to a program of action agreed upon
by Republicans.
Meeting in caucus last night,
house Republicans adopted a reso-
luton containing this resolution to
the committee and declaring that,
once reported, the measurs SHOULD
be kept before the house until
passed. The caucus was said to
have given no instructions to the
committee as to what revenuerais-
ing provision should be inccfp0rat-
ed in the bill. 1t was Understood
to have been agreed that this should
be threshed out by the COMMITTEES
first, subject to later CAUCUS action.
Considerable sentiment developed
during the discussion, it was said,
in favor of making the cash prov1-.
sions of the bill less attractive than
formerly proposed and increasing
the ,desirability of the insurance and
home and farm aid options.

while the men held him at the points
of their reVolvers, the women robbed

BY BIG MAJORITY
Measure Providing Drastic
Penalties for individuals
and Counties Involved May
Never Reach U. S, Senate

WASHINGTON, Jan. q. - The
house Thursday declared itself IN
favor of the government exerting
its authority in an effort to stamp
out lynching, passing by q vote OK
23O to Ito the Dyer anti-lynching
bill.
Seventeen Republicans Joined 1o2
Democrats in voting in the oppo-
sition, while eight Democrats and
oneASocialist, 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. Tennes-
see; Curry, California; FRENCH
Idaho; Herrick, Oklahoma: Hersey,
Maine; Jones, Pennsylvania; Kelley,
Michigan; Layton, Delaware; Luce,

firmative were Campbell, .sPennsyl-

Illinois.
The bill provides life Imprisonment
or lesser penalties for persons who
participate in lynchings and for
state, county and municipal Off
Gals who fail through negligence
to prevent them. The measure also
stipulates that the county in which
lmobs form or kill any one shall for

made no, concerted effort toss have
amendments adopted. They declared
"the vicious principle of the bill'
could not be changed by amend-
ments, but expressed confidence
that the measure never would re-
ceive senate approval.
Except for a few perfecting
amendments, offered by Chairman
Volstead, of the judiciary commit
tee, amendments proposed by indi-
viduals were rejected. One by Rep
resentative French, Republican, Ida
no, would have eliminated the pro-
vision requiring counties to forfeit
Sic, 900 to families of mob victims.
One committee amendment app
proved removed from the bill the
requirement that counties through
which mob passed should pay q
$4,000 penalty. &
Another one accepted defined q
mob as three or more persons act
ing together to take human life IL
legally. The bill originally defined
a mob as five or more persons act
ing together.
During debate, which continued
intermittently for a month, oppo-
nents of the measure declared 1t
would be an unconstitutional inva-
sion of state rights and would have
tendency to increase rather than
decrease lynching.l They also
charged that Republicans were sup
porting the proposal for political
reasons
proponents, however, contende6
that states, especially in the soushi
had failed to handle the situation,
and that to afford all races protec-
ton gvAanpteed them under the

TRIAL OF DUPRE
ON MURDER CHARGE:
PROCEEDS RAPIDLY
Four Hours Allotted for Ar
guments-Defense Rests
With Statment duplicating
Others in Escape

The trial OF Frank u. DuPre, STAY
er of Detective Irby c. Walker in
the hold-up of the Nat Kaiser jew
elry store on December Is, swung
into it's final stage Friday afternoon.
All evidence has been completed and
nothing remained except the argu-
ments of prosecution and defense.
The case is expected to go to the
jury late in the afternoon.
Attorney w. I. Hayward made the
opening argument for the defense
to be followed by Assistant Solicitor
E. A. Stephens, Solicitor General
Boykin, Attorney Louis Foster and
Attorney H. A. Allen, the latter con-
Guiding the argument for DuPre.
The defendant introducing no evil
dence except his own statement, the
law gave his attorneys the opening
and concluding arguments.
DuPre's statement, the sole effort
of the defense outside of the argu-
ment by sounsel, constituted the prin-
cipal feature of Friday mornings
session. The state, having introduced
the bulk of its evidence on Thurs
day, contented itself with the pres
entation Of only a few additional
witnesses, some of whom were in
troduced in rebuttal, after DuPre
made his statement.
DuPre told his story in some de-
tail, following more or less faithful
ly the outline of his previous state
ments to the authorities and to the
! newspapers. He denied however,
those portions of his previous con-
LESSONS duplicating Betty Andrews,
: the woman in the case, stoutly de-
claring that she knew nothing Of the
crime until after it had been COM
rn.tted.
Manslaughterl Contention
The whole effort of the defense,
in it's argument to the jury and in
REORGANIZATION of the states
witnesses, was to support the claim
that DuPre committed voluntary
manslaughter, but not murder. This
contention is based on the theory
! that DuPre shot Detective Walker
to resist an assault or attack by the
detective, and not to escape arrest.
The defense tried to show that
sDuPre did not know Mr.. Walker
was a detective.
Judge Mathews took a recess at
1:15. announcing that court would
reconSene at 2:15 and continue until
all arguments had been concluded
and the case given to the jury.
A sensation of the days session
was the, statement to the jury by
c.. r. Buckley, taxicab driver who
carried DuPre to Chattanooga after
the robbery and murder, that he was
fully aware before leaving Atlanta
: that DuPre was the man who had
snatched the diamond in the Kaiser
store and killed Detective Walker in
making his escape.
BuclSley's testimony involves Jack
Worth and Abe Silverman, one OF
the pawnbroBers with whom the
stolen ring was pawned. Buckley de-
clared Worth introduced him to .Du
Pre- and asked him to see him safely
out of town. He asserted Abe Sill,
verrnan. the pawnbroker, met DuPre
in awesidential section to turn over
70 him 1926 for the stolen ring.
Another feature Of the day was
an attempt by the defense to draw
from the states witnesses admissions
that one or more of the shots fired
in the Kaiser's store might have
been fired by Detective Walker in
the scuffle he had with DuPre.
