.LYNCHLESS SOUTH
IS GOAL OF WOMEN
Convention at Atlanta Work
Ing for Record in 1888.
/ Mississippi Is Cited.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, November 19 Women
representing IL Southern States met
here today and started a campaign they
hope will bring the South through 1888
without a single lynching.
They met as delegates to the annual
convention of the Central Council OF
the Association of Southern Women Tor
the Prevention Of Lynching and adopt
ed this motto: "A lynchless South IN
1888"
Reports that aroused their encourage
ment included these
Only six lynchings have occurred IN
the United States thus far this year
and only four of these were In the
South, the lowest number for similar
period in so years.
Mississippi's New Record.
The State of Mississippi, formerly
high in its lynching ratio, has not
lynching in more than year.
More than 1000 women in many
States have joined the association
within two years and have pledged
themselves to the eradication OF mop
violence.
Thirteen hundred towns and 575
counties are represented in the associa-
tion's membership.
Womens organizations and churches
have indorsed the movement and are
lending aid, including the Council OF
Southern Methodist Women, the South
ern Baptist Missionary Union, the Ma
tional Council of Jewish Women, the
Young Women's Christian Association,
State federations of women'S clubs and
various other religious and civic organ
izations.
VIII Widen Membership.
Regarding Mississippi. where the col
ored population is greater than IN any
other State, the convention had this
to say:
IF Mississippi can have a lynchless
year, lynchless South is possible and
reasonable goal"
The delegates agreed to campaign for
extending the membership into all OF
the 1892 counties of the Southern
States during the forthcoming year.
Another goal is the Endorsement and
cooperation of all types of organized
women's groups and a membership of at
least $4,000, or 1000 in each Southern
State.
Make No Exceptions.
The women pointed out they want it
made plain above all things that they
do not subscribe in any sense to the
theory of some that lynching is some
times necessary for the protection Of
womanhood.
Those attending the convention in
cluded the chairman, Mrs. George |
Maddin Martin of Louisville, KY; the
secretary, Mrs W. A. Newell of Green's |

BYRD IS E:QU|PP|NG
SECOND EXPEDITION
Explorer to Sail in Fall to
Study Previous Antarctic
Discoveries.

B. The Associated Press.
BOSTON, June 10.-Rear Admiral
Richard E. Byrd plans a second Ant
arctic expedition-this one for the pur-
pose of studying more closely the ter
1itory Marie Byrd Land and to elab-
crate on scientific data gained pre-
yiously.
The expedition would leave Boston
early in the Fall and remain in the
Antarctic the greater part of two years.
The tractoI-something new in the
way of Antarctic equipment-will take
its place in the scheme of things along
side the sled dog and the airplane.
The expedition, as planned, is smaller
than the first, experience having assist
ed Byrd in planning a more compact
outfit. A larger number of sled dogs,
about 150 will be carried, and two
planes and several tractors have been
included in the equipment.
One ship instead of two will be used
to transport the equipment. the Bear,
built in the '7os and used for years by
the Coast Guard has been obtained
and is being fitted in Oakland, Calf.
Lincoln Ellsworth, polar explorer,
probably will be in the same region
about the same time and has received
permission to use the base at Little
America. The two expeditions are dis
similar, however, Byrd's object being to
further explore the territory named
after Mrs. Byrd. which he discovered
on his previous trip.
Nearly all the scientists who accom-
panied Admiral Byrd before will go
with him again. The voyage will be
Byrd's own financially. He believes
that present conditions have hampered
scientific progress, which, he also be-
leves, should go on He doesn't think,
however, that money needed for other
purposes should be expended now, and
for that reason he is endeavoring to
finance the expedition himself.

HIGH COURT DENIES
ICE is A UTILITY.
Rules State Has No Power
to Impose Regulations.
Brandeis DisSents.

No State has the power to regulate
the manufacture and sale Of ice, the
Supreme Court ruled yesterday in a
case from Oklahoma despite a bristling
dissenting opinion by Justice Brandeis.
Justice Stone, alone, agreed with one
of the most vigorous of Brandeis' dis
sents. The gist of the comparatively
short opinion by Justice Sutherland was
that the manufacture of ice in Okla
homa was a private business and was
not subject to supervision as public
utility.
That being the case, he concluded,
the State had no power to force Ernest
A Lehman to get a permit from the
CORPORATION Commission of Oklahoma
before he went into the ice business in
Oklahoma City.
States Business, Says Brandeis.
1t was Oklahoma'S business Brandeis
told his colleagues, accompanying his
ringing words by vigorous gestures, 10
say whether the making and the sale
of ice was enough of a public utility to
be subject to regulation.
THE people of the United States"
he said, ARE now confronted with an
emergency more serious than war.
Some people believe that the
existing conditions threaten even the
stability of the capitaIStic system.
Businessmen are seeking possible
remedies Most of them realize that
failure to distribute widely the profits
of industry has been a prime cause of
our present plight. But rightly or
wrongly, many persons think that one
of the major contributing causes has
been unbridled competition"
He added that whether their views
were sound was not known but re-
minded that economic and social
science are largely uncharted seas"
Grave Consequences Seen.
Denial of the right to experimental
ton, he said. might have the gravest
consequences.
1T is one Of the happy incidents of
the Federal system that a single coura-
geous State may, If its citizens choose" p"
he said, serve as laboratory and try
novel social and economic experiments
without risk to the rest Of the country"
He added that the court had the
right to stay such experimentation, but
I'VE should ever be on our guard, lest
we erect our prejudices into legal
principles"
1T is not necessary" Justice Suther-
land said, "to challenge the authority
of the States to indulge in experimental
legislation but it would be strange and
unwarranted doctrine to transcend the
limitations imposed upon, them by the
Federal Constitution"
