SENATE TIED Up.
BY .FILIBUSTER.
ON LYNCH BILL.
Only Few Attend
Short Session
By ARTHUR HACHTEN

G.N.S.) Legislative machinery in
the Senate was stalled today by
a filibuster against the Wagner
Van Nuys anti-lynching bill.
Senator Robert R. Reynolds CD
of North Carolina, was slated to
"kill another day" with a lengthy
traveIogue on the beauties of the
Tarheel State and political-eco-
nomic problems of the world.
LEADERS UNEASY
With the anti-lynching fight
definitely assured to go into next
week, Administration leaders were
becoming uneasy over action on
major measures in the recovery
program in view of the drive for
adjournment of Congress by May
Already Senate forces were
lining up for a prolonged battle
over the bill to give President
Roosevelt broad power to reor-
ganize the executive branch of
the Government in the interests
of efficiency and economy.
Scheduled for consideration i'm.
mediately after the anti-lyncl1ng
bill is acted upon, the reorganiza-
ton bill will be fought by an in
formal coalition of Republicans
and old-line Democrats on the
ground it would give the Chief
Executive too much power.

CENSUS SHOWS
1854 IN D. c.
ON PART Time
Biggers Gives Data
To President

In addition to the $1,000 totally
unemployed persons in the District
there are 1854 men and women
partially unemployed who need
and want more work, John D. Big
gers, administrator of the National
Unemployment Census, reported to
President Roosevelt today.
Throughout the nation, Biggers
reported 3,209,211 men and women
are partially employed, with the
Middle Atlantic States contribut-
ing 1851 of this total.
81 PER CENT ACCURATE
The voluntary registration of
partially unemployed was only 81
per cent accurate. on the basis Of
test counts, as compared with 70
percentage of accuracy in the
totally unemployed count Biggers
reported.
Biggers pointed out that census
enumerators made an attempt to
differentiate between partly EN-,
ployed, who do not need or want
more work, and partially unem-
p1oyed who are reduced to part
time work by force of circum.
stances.
Preliminary analysis, Biggers
said, indicates that a very, large
number have registered as par,

selves in either the voluntary or
the test census.
., 4,912 WOMEN
OF the total reporting them
selves as partially unemployed in
the District, 1882 were men and
4,912 were women. The District
had a higher number of partially
unemployed than six States.
Previously, Biggers disclosed in
his first report on the jobless
census that there were between
100000 and 10,8O0.000 totally
unemployed at that time.
The ranks Of those seeking EN-.
ployment in mid.November, there
fore, could have reached the total
of 16,43O,OOO, according to Big
gers report, but since then at
least an additional 100000 per.
sons have been thrown out of
work.

Clash at Shanghai

Wild scenes in which Japanese

brought new perils to Shanghai
today and threatened grave in
ternational repercussions.
One dangerous incident followed
another in bewildering fashion
after the new crisis was precipi-
tated by fight between Japanese
soldiers and a Russian volunteer
who had threatened a single Japa-
nese trooper with a revolver in a
dispute over a Chinese woman.
OTHERS GET IN FRAY
French police and other Russian
volunteers Immediately became in
volved in this conflict, whereupon
the japanese brought up their
machine guns and trained them
on the foreigners. 1t was under
stood French authorities would
lodge a vehement protest with
Japanese authorities.
While this was going on, Japa-
nese marines suddenly occupied
the BritiSh-owned New Asia Hotel
in the International Settlement
north of Soochow Creek. The
Nipponese marines hauled down
two British flags and hoisted Japa-
nese banners.
AS the French police and Nip,
ponese troops grimly eyed each
other over the barrels of their
weapons, Shanghai came closer
than at any time during the Sino
Japanese conflict to an "inci
dent" with graver possibilities
than anything the Orient has
witnessed since the Russo-Japa.

A LESSON TO REPEAT

ONE LESSON worth repeating
is on the Importance of counting
lOsers when you are playing a suit
contract. So many may seem to be
in hand that the task appears hope
less. But if some of them can ae
etched on a set-up side suit, or
mfed with the dummy's trumps,
perhaps the number of losers may
be cut down to the desired size.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

Christian Science Church Service
Report Sunday, August IA, 1888.
Subject: Soul.
Golden Text: Psalms 1875
Hear me speedily. o Lord: =. cause
me to hear thy loving kindness in the
morning; for in thee do l trust:
cause me to know the way wherein
/ should walk; for lift up my soul
unto thee.
A Bible Citation from the Lesson
Sermon: Psalm 81: 5.6-My soul, wait
thou only upon God; for my expecta-
tion is from him. He only is my rock
and my salvation: he is my defence;
| shall not be moved.
A correlative passage from the
Christian Science Textbook. Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "The
proper use of the word SOUL can al
ways be gained by substituting the
word GOD, where the deitic meaning
is required. In other cases. use the
word SENSE. and you will have the
scientific signification. Science
reveals Spirit. Soul, as not in the
body, and God as not in man but as
reflected by man. The greater can
not be in the lesser. The belief that
the greater can be in the lesser is an
error that works i'll. This is lead
ing point in the Science of Soul, that
Principle Ia not in its idea. Spirit,
Soul. is not confined in man and is
never I'm matter"
