to the vicinity of the old Midland
railroad depot, in South Paris,
where a big trash dump had caught

The department was called by a
still alarm later to the foot of Main

records and seals; and of which r.

that 1t is the belief OF the examiners
that the president, John Mitchell, and
the cashier. Albert V. Norrell. Jr., have
handled the accounts of the said
grand lodge and the Order of Calanthe
in an unlawful manner and that 1t is
their belief that the bank directors
have been grossly negligent in not
detecting and correcting the alleged
malfeasance of those in active man
agement of the institution. The re-
ceivers further state that on the basis
of a partial audit as completed the
bank will fail by more than 800 900
to meet the claims of creditors and
depostors. 1t is said that an inves-
tigatl"n BY the October grand jury

SENATE TO TAKE UP DYER
AND LTBERIAN BILLS.

Washington, Sept. 1.-two meas
ures effecting Negroes are now on the
calendar of Senate business, to be
taken up before recess or adjournment,
according to a plan of procedure just
drawn up by the Senate Committee on
Order of Business, of which Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, is chairman.
Barring conference reports such as
the tariff, or emergency legislation,
the Senate is expected to take up the
following questions in the order in
dictated:
Coal bills.
The Liberian loan.
The Capper- Tincher grain gambling
bill
The Dyer anti-lynchIng bill.
The loan of $4,000. 900 to the Re-
public of Liberia, initiated under Pres
ident Wilson and since advocated by
Secretary Hughes. has already passed
the House. As chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee, 1t Is Mr..
Lodges business to get long delayed
action on this project of the Admin
istration, which contemplates the APP

In the case 81 the Dyer anti-lynch-

Republican leaders in the Senate is
altogether obvious. When Senator
Lodge returned from Massachusetts,
where he brought with him the con-
vlction that action on the anti-lynch-
ing measure was most desirable. Mr..
Lodges determination to have this
matter discussed was enthuslsticaliy
seconded by Senator Calder OF New
York. whose Negro constituents have
been demanding definite assurances
that the Dyer measure would be taken
up at this session.
1t is already predicted that the anti
lynching bill has no chance OF passing

Nevertheless, Republican leaders and
some Republican Senators UP for re-
election having failed to come up to
