SEN. VAN NUYS'
RESOLUTION ASKS
LYNCHING INQUIRY

WASHINGTON Pointing to
the apparent failure OF state and
local law enforcement vehicles to
prevent lynching and punish those
responsible, Senator Frederick Van
Mugs %. Ind.) announced January
/ that he intends to introduce a re
solution. calling for an investiga-
ton of the fourteen lynchings oc-
curing IN the United States since
May 1, 1895.
Senator Van Nuys called atten-
ton to the fact that during the de-
bate on the motion to consider the
Costigan- Wagner anti-lynch bill,
which continued from April 20 I'M
I'll May /, various members Of the
Senate made statements to the ef-
feet that Federal legislation ag-
ainst lynching Is unnecessary as
the states can and win prevent
lynchings and punish those respon-
sible for this mob violence.
Yet, despite these statements
there have occurred In the United
States since the close of The debate
on May 1, at least fourteen Iyncli-
ings of both white and Negro citi-
zens.
IN view Of this circumstance, the
Senator intends. by means of this
Resolution, to have the Senate au-
thorize the committee on the Ju-
dietary, or any subcommittee
thereof, to investigate fully the
facts and circumstances surround
ing the fourteen lynchings which
have occurred, including the rela-
tionship of these acts of violence
to other crimes and a consequent
depreciation In the maintenance Of
law and order.
The committee to make the In
vestigation shall report its find
ings to the Senate at the earliest
practical date, not later than the
first Of March, 1896, which Will, it
Is believed, provide an authorize
tive and reliable basis for further
consideration Of anti-lynching leg
islation.
The announcement by Senator
Van Mugs that he would introduce
such q resolution caused a furry
of interest in the capital since it Is
known that the anti-lynching legis-
lation is one Of the controversial
subjects which many legislators
would like to keep very much In
the background. The move was
regarded IN many quarters as an
excellent strategic one which viii
focus the attention of the nation
upon the manner in which the var
ious states have dealt with the
crime of lynching. It is regarded
as particularly valuable that this
information for the first time will
have the stamp of an official gov
eminent inquiry and therefore will
not be able to be dismissed on the
grounds that it is propaganda by
paid agitators"
Soon after Senator Van Nuys
made his announcement Governor
James V. Alfred of Texas and Gov
ernor Frank F. Merriam of Calf
fornia stated they had no objection
to a federal investigation Of each
ssf the lynchings since May l. but
would not approve any federal ac-
ton beyond investigation.

Martin StrandD Died

Martin Strand, aged 69, passed away a few minutes past noon Sunday, Feb. 9, following an illness lasting 1 two months. He was taken to the local hospital about 4 or five days ago where he finally succumbed.
 His partner, Gus Head, is at their quartz mine which is over the divide from the U. s. Roadhouse. MT. Head has been notified of the death of his partner and is expected to arrive here to- morrow, after which fun eral arrangements will be made.
 The passing of Martin Strand will be keenly felt, not only by his partner and close friends, but this sec ton loses one of it's most ardent miners and prospec tors. Messrs. Strand and Head have labored for the past 20 years in developing a quartz mine back of the town of Nome, and every dollar he has earned work ing for wages during the summer months, has gone into this prospect, which is now in a position where engineers may be able to enter the shafts and tun- nels and make a survey and estimate as to the fu- ture mining of the proper ty on a large scale. It is regrettable indeed that af- ter so many years of hard labor, that he will not be here to see his mine open ed up and become a pro- ducer.
