PASSAGE IF DYER
 BILL ADVOCATED
Storey Urges Anti-Lynching Measure at Convention
 in Newark
By Associated Press

Newark, N. J., June 1s.-"with men everywhere striking for higher pay or less work. would a strike for life and liberty by the negroes in the south be wholly unjustified?"
 Launching this question at the thirteenth annual convention of the National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People here today, Morefie1d Storey, head of the asso- citation and former president of the American Bar association, urged pas sage of the Dyer anti-lynching bill.
 Lynching, the speaker said, "goes on because 1t is safe. It flourishes, as Henry Watterson said, as an oppor- tunity to indulge in spectacular murder when there is no fear that the next grand jury will return mur- der indictments.' But when the peo- pie of the United States undertake in dead earnest to stop lynching, it will disappear.
 Serious conflict may be in store for us." he continued. and may be provoked by racial prejudice. Thus far. in every crisis the negro has been uniformly loyal. Do not lose their support when the country needs loyalty, for would not 12,000, ,000 loyal and contented negroes be able to work when the country needs workers?"
 Representative Martin B. Madden of Illinois, champion of the anti lynching bill, who also spoke, de- clared that nothing was being asked for the negroes that did not belong to them, and nothing but the simple justice and equality of opportunity which is the birthright of all clti- zens.
 Seven hundred negroes paraded Newark prior to the meeting. The convention will continue until Friday

SMITHS PARK SITE

 Wants One Architect
 One voter favoring the Smith park site adds this naive comment; Build it with one architect" The voter doubtless had in mind the present contract of the city with seven local architects and one architect in a dis tant city.
 Those who favor neither Smith park nor Eighth avenue, continue for most part to fail to say where they wish the auditorium. but there is a persistent contingent who hang on to the impossible plan of placing the auditorium In one of the parks. Woodrow Wilson park has received four votes, East park four and West park four. One voter wishes the auditorium located at Avenue G anu Twenty ninth street. He has no suggestion to offer as to cost of that property.
 Two have come out for Avondale park for the auditorium site. They are not afraid of little distance from heart of the city.
 Democratic Showing
 There is no doubt of democratic CndFacleT or the reIeFenuuIn.

 Women as well as men are voting. There are more men than women, but tho latter are making a better show ing as the balloting proceeds.
