by DR.. James J. McClendon, presi-
dent OF the Detroit branch OF the
National Association for the Ad-
yancement OF Colored People.
Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg,
Michigan's senior solop, has ex-
pressed willingness TO vote for the
cloture rule on the Anti-Lynching
Bill should the southern senator's
stage a filibuster in an attempt to
defeat the measure.
The decision OF Senator Van
denberg was incorporated In re-
ply to a letter DR.. McClendon had
sent him. urging his support OF the
Anti-Lynching Bill.
In 1887, during filibuster by
southern senator's or the Gavagan
Anti-Lynching Bill, Senator Van
denberg refused to vote for a clo-
ture rule, later pointing out that
II would have defeated free speech.
His attitude at that time brought

I1RT's like theater," said to Inspector
Cardigan as we entered the room
d where the lineup is held.
A queer reaction this was, in the grim
reality of Police Headquarters. 1t may have
been due to the black shades drawn over the
windows, plunging the vast auditorium at
nine in the morning into midnight darkness;
or the rhythmic stiffness, for the tread of men
moving about was almost without sound or
the seats arranged in curving rows with an
aisle down the middle and one on each side.
But more than these, I'm inclined to think the
concentrated glare of the spotlight created the
illusion, 50 very like the beam that floods the
stage of theater while the rest of the house
is dark
A relentless white eye on the suspects pass
ing from the Stygian gloom of the auditorium
up few steps to the stage, pausing alone for
questioning, then going down on the other
side into gloom again, the spotlight sent its
detecting beam over each in turn and there
was no escape.
They came and went, men and women,
young most of them, picked up the day and
night before; some small fry in the under
world, some frightened faces new to the
groups of officers and plain-clothes men
seated at one side of the center AISLE Always
these men watch and wait for face familiar in
the world of crime, one whose arrest, like dis

hands of the police the structure of a whole
