also women OF the race. Tuesday
Feb. 20. Miss Mabel Byrd was
dragged from the public dining
room of he United States Senate
by brutal Capitol policeman.
despite the appeals OF two white
female friends who had accom-
panied her there. After being
dragged through the corridors and
downstairs to police headquarters
Miss Byrd tainted. and after re-
covery was detained at the police
room for more than an hour. Taken
TO her home she was placed under
the care of a physician and nurse
and was in a serious condition for
several days.
Miss Byrd, formerly an employe
in the department of Research and
Planning of the National Recovery
Administration was in attendance
at the opening session OF the Anti
Lynching bill hearing on Tuesday.
At noon accompanied by two other
Iadies she went 10 the Senate plL
lie dining room for lunch. she
was accompanied by Miss Amelia
Sears, secretary of the Associated
Charities of Chicago, Illinois, and
Mrs Clara Call Paige, chairman
of the Cook County Illinois)
Board OF Public Welfare; both
white.
Upon entering the public dining
room the ladies asked for taDie.
They were told by a waitress tnat
Miss Byrd could not be served II
she was colored.
Mrs. Paige informed the head
waitress of their rights as Ameri-
can citizens and demanded service
when refused the second time, the
manager was asked for ana tue

he was downstairs.

When she objected to being man
handled by the officer she was
nushed into the corridor. Here
the first officer called for neip anu
from that point the two "chivalrous
Southern gentlemen" dragged ner

where she tainted.
After her recovery she was oe-

for Miss Byrd's removal to her
homo where she was put to bed and
remained for seeral days under
the care Of q nurse and q physi-
clan.
Miss Byrd's friends state that
she will probably institute civil
proceedings against all persons
responsible for the unwarranted
assault. No charge OF any kind
was placed against her on the
books at the police room, and why
they held her for an hour was In
the opinion of many adding an
other insult to bodily injury.
