AS proposed by the association the

northern portion, with the interven-
ing area to be occupied by Wilson

SENATORS BLOCK
ANT|-LYNCH BILL
Smith and George Advise
Against Passage of
Measure.
Nv the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Indications of strong Southern op-
position to Federal anti-iynching
law were apparent in the Senate to-
day following the blocking yesterday
of an attempt to consider the measure.
An effort made by Senator Costigan,
Democrat, Of Colorado. to force con-
sideration of the Wagner-Costigan
bill caused Senator Smith, Democrat,
of South Carolina, to spring to his
feet. He charged that the measure
was an "open reflection upon the
States where the proposed legislation
is aimed to operate"
Smith said no one could violate
"the purity and sanctity of our wom-
anhood without paying the just pen
atty" and added he believed the in
tent Of the bill was ito enact a Fed
eral law which will penalize the South
when there has been committed an
act beyond the law and by forces
which no law can control"
George Joins Protest.
Senator George, Democrat, of Geor-
sia, Joined Smith in advising against
the measure He said he did not con-
done lynching. but thought that this
deplorable offense against society
probably can be better handled by the
States if no attempt is made to inter-
fere through Federal legislation"
Notice was given by Senator Cos
%haf he Nrto1tII fnys
sideration later. He said he was ad-
vised neither Senator Robinson, the
majority leader, nor Senator McNary,
the Republican leader, would object to
q vote on the motion.
During the debate, Robinson intro
duced amendments to the bill to elm
mate some of its strongest features,
including language making counties
liable for damages.
Costigan denied the measure re-
fiected on the South, asserting the
current drive for Federal legislation
could be traced to the lynching of two
white youths in California in 1888.
Claims Support in South.
He said the bill was supported by
q great many 0outIeiu HeA dilo
women.
Smith said the Nation had gone
Through one bloody war under a mis-
apprehension of the social structure of
the country, but with a keen appre-
hension of the financial and indus
trial differences.
When the bill is taken up, the
Senate will be thoroughly advised of
ing necessity of going outside the law
at times to vindicate the sanctity of
our firesides and the virtue of our
women"
George asked Costigan not to take
up the bill this week, since he would
be compelled to be absent from the
Senate because of illness in his family.

BURLESQUE MERIT
SHOWN AT GAYETY

"RURLESK STARLETS," current
weeks tenant of the Gayety,
looks much more like a burlesque
show than did last weeks occurrences
on that stage. In fact, it is much
better show than those Of a number
of weeks past-it is a merry, tuneful,
swiftly moving and brightly staged
revue. which measures well up to the
mark in every department.
For comedy there are Billy Foster
and Len Kramer, Billy Field, Charles
Goldie and Ray Parsons, straight man.
These clowns were "starlets" num-
ber of years ago, but they supply
"BurleSk Starlets" with plenty Of
knockout tomfoolery. Billy Field, as
dizzy yokel as ever smoked a cigar
in bed, is among the leaders in bur-
lesque buffoonery and he scores in
every appearance.
The Foster Kramer team has but
two scenes in which to display its
wares and both are sure-fire. The boys
have had some of their lines dry
cleaned and it's great help. Charlie
Goldie does a pair of his topnotch &C.
centric dances as his major contribu-
ton and Ray Parsons capably handles
the straight roles and sings.
The leader on the distaf side has
to be Mimi Reed, who here and now
is the recipient of one vote nominating
her as the No. l exponent of graceful
dancing in burlesque. She is one prac-
titioner of acrobatic and high-kick
dancing who makes it look easy. Also
contributing terpsichorean interludes
are Lucille Wayne and Shirley Mac, a
pair of young ladies in the chorus who
display lot of talent and grace and
who will not be chorus girls forever.
The lads in the front pews have a
treat this week. too, for there are five
speciality artists present, after two and
three have been the ration all season.
They are led. of course. by the added
attraction for the week, Ming Toya,
who scores an immediate hit with the
seat renters as China's gift to bur-
lesque. Other routines ale offered by
Diana Johnson, Phyllis Vaughn.
Bubbles Yvonne and Marie Alley, all
of whom are highly approved. H. M.
