SENATE, HOUSE
DEADL0CKED
OVER AAA
Process Tax Recovery
Denied BY Lower
u. S. Chamber

Amendments loomed today with
reports that House conferees had
written into the bill a substitute
for the provision permitting re,
covery of processing taxes.
The right to enter suit for these
taxes was adopted by the Senate
in an amendment offered by Sen.
ator George Cd, Georgia. The
House had denied professors this
privilege.
Senate indignation arose when
1t was reported House conferees
had thrown out the George amend
ment and were considering a plan
offered by Chairman Jones of the
House conferees. The Jones plan
would restrict suits TO stocks on
hand when the suit is filed.
Branding earlier reports that
the George amendment had been
retained in the bill as wholly er-
roneous," Chairman Jones said:
ut is generally agreed by the
c0nfereeS that the professors,
WuUACS2ACS 0uu FCtdAACAS SuUulNS
in the event the taxes are held
invalid, be allowed to recover
the amount Of taxes paid on
stocks which they then have on
hand and unSOld.
"The only other suggestion
has been to permit the professor
to have, not only the right to
sue, but the privilege of filing
claims for refund with the COM
missioner of Internal Revenue.
Senator johnson (R.), Califor-
mia, said that if the Jones plan
is adopted he will launch fight
on the floor against the conference
report.
Other western Senators indi-
Gated they would support Senator
johnson and called for a "show
down" fight over the Jones plan.

pitch.
Leader Masked
Deputy Sheriff LANCE said:
81 couldn't stop that mob.
1 pleaded with them to allow the
law to take its course. But
they would have none of it. I
saw no reason to spill more
blood. 1t would have avaiIed
nothing to fire into the crowd.
The leader-I couldn't iden-
tify him, because he wore a
mask-said they we're deter
mined to get Johnson, and
didn't want to harm me. They
pushed me into a chair and then
took the keys to JOhnsOn'S cell.
He stood there blubbering in
his cell.
Don't take me! Don't take
mel" he pleaded.
He fell down on his knees.
He cried his plea of mercy
again. But they dragged him
to his feet"
Bound and Gagged
To prevent Deputy Sheriff
L ange from summoning aid, the
lynchers bound and gagged him.
Several of the mob then drove
him to Grenada, nine miles from
here in a direction away from
the scene of the hanging.
AT Grenada they forced LANCE
from their machine after taking
his shoes from him. One of the
mob told him:
"By the time you get back it
will be all over"

W00D|NG CASE
AR0USESD.C
EXPERTS
Bar Widely Divided in
Views on Legality
of Seizure

Can q mother kidnap her own
child?
District lawyers are bordering
this question since the attempt OF
Mrs. Louyse Williams Wooding
to seize her two young daughters
from the hands Of the woman her
divorced husband has married.
In fact, there were many at
forneys who consulted the old Dis
trict Supreme Court records OF
the two suits which Mrs. Woodlng
filed against william Wooding
during a four-year arrangement.
Attorney Backs Her
Most decided in his opinion that
the mother was within her rights
was Harlan Wood, the attorney
who represented her in one OF
the suits.
Mrs. Weddings first suit was
filed in September, 1880, when she
asked the court to award her a
limited divorce, with alimony and
custody ond Nancy and Louyse,
who were then and 2 years old.
The late Justice Frederick L.
Siddons, needing the Wife'S claim
that her husband had taken up
his abode elsewhere ito get him.
self Strengthened out" awarded
her $125 monthly alimony and
custody Of the children. The suit
was terminated by consent OF the
parties on January 80, 1881, after
they had become reconciled. At
torney Vivian o. Hill appeared in
that proceeding.
Pair Estranged Again
A year later the parties again
became eStranged, according to
the court records, and on Deem
Der 3, 1882, Mrs. Wooding filed
suit for maintenance through At
torney Wood.
Again she was awarded tempo
Tary alimony and custody of the
two children, the record reveals,
but during the following summer
her husband obtained court per-
mission to take the children for
q months visit to their grand
mother in Danville. Va.
The only record indicative Of
the result of the wife's suit here
is a notation of a dismissal and
Of the wife'S appeal.
Mr.. Wooding did not -btain
the divorce in Virginia. Mrs.
Wooding obtained a limited di-
vorce in Danville, Va. Mr.. Wood
ing during this time obtained a
court order for custody of the
children.
Mrs. Wooding says she was in
duced by her husband and the
lawyer-cousin of her husband to
obtain the divorce. She alleges
she had no counsel.
Mr.. Wooding reopened the
limited divorce proceedings in
Danville. Va, and the court or
dered the children to be given
in the custody of his mother.
Attorney Wood said:
"When the case here came on
for hearing, it was dismissed
because the husband had OBJ
tanned the Virginia decree and
custody of the children.
COURT DENIES AID
"The court here was asked to
hold the husband in contempt
of court for violating the per-
miSsOry order allowing him to
take the children out of the
jurisdiction for a visit, but the
trial Judge declared he must
allow full faith and credit to
the Virginia divorce.
"MrS. WoOding noted an ap-
peal but was without funds to
defray the costs.
"In my opinion, in the Dis
trict of Columbia at least, Mrs.
WOoding is entitled to custody
Of her children"
But the children are in Virginia
and the Virginia courts have
awarded them to their father.
