)' ENERALLY FAIR TONIGHT AND TUESDAY COOLER." j'W 'iw vwj Hi ESTABLISHED 1833. ihtU arHvJlttlne and 1 tMCE CENTS FEDERAL mm INTO TOE EVIL OF LYNCHING 13 DEMANDED. MR. GALLINGER'S5 RESOLUTION SUBJECT WARMLY DEBATED IN THE GEWATE. A TEXAS SENATOR PROTESTS THE DAY'S PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.

Washington, D. May 26. Soon after the1 senate convened today Mr. Galltngef, of New Hampshire, offered a resolution providing that (the Judiciary committee of the senate iDiould make an investigation into the subjeat. of lynching In the United States with a view of ascertaining whether there is any remedy for them.

Mr. Galllnger said, he introduced the resolution in full view of tihe fact that he might he charged with precipitating a sectional controversy, but nothing was further from his thoughts. lie said lynching were not can lined to the south. Horrible oases had occurred in the north, and wihite men a well as black had been victims. Throughout the country intense interest was manifested in the subject.

He thought it imperative that the Judiciary committee should take some action upon the subject. During the paet ten years 2,658 lynching had occurred in tihe United States. Of these 121 hod occurred in the south and fourteen in the north, the remainder in other parts of the country. If the strong arm of the law could reach out to prevent such occurrences ha deemed it desirable that it do so. He toad reid the Associated Press account of the burning of a negro in Texas a.

few days ago. He said his tory'dld not furnish a more fiendish instance of mob wrath, and Fox's book of martyrs was tame in comparison. The whole wretched business, he said, was a disgrace to tnn hood fcnd in the light 'tat which the alleged atrocities in the Philippines paled into insignificance. The Spanish inquisition did not furnish a case exceeding that one in inhumanity. He asserted that it would be said that the federal government was powerless and that the state had exclusive jurisdiction.

If so, tin American people desired to know It. Publio sentiment should be aroused to prevent such inhuman atrocities. Culberson, of Texas, presented and hd Tead an account''of a lyncHf ing In Jtansas, saying that he wanted it ehoiwn that the crime of lynching was confined to no state or section. He said he hoped the New Hampshire senator would net single out his etat when wanted to bring such oases beforethe senate. After remarks by Mr.

lioar upon the constitutional feature of the case the resolution went ever. The Philippine bill then was taken up and Mr. of Colorado, made ipteoh in opposition to it. In beginning, Mr. Patterson read extracts from a report of ministers' meeting held recently In Boston in the course of which addresses, the ministers stated that the American flag has been disgraced in the Philippines by the commission of tragedies and horrors in the island, although no special attack was made 'upon; ithe president and secretary of war, i Mr.

Patterson referred to' the editorials from'the Denver News which Mr. Tbraker had read in the course of hi speech. These editorial strongly urged the retention of the Philippine islands, advocated the government' policy as to the Mr. Patterson said be was responsible for the utterances of the Denver New then and now. said be was type of hundreds of thousands of American people who had held view similar to those expressed in the Denver News editorials and subsequently had changed those, yisws.

Just prior to the ratification' of the Pari treaty he had changed hi opinion and since that time had advocated strenuously the independence of the people. Patterson declared that after the tapture of Manila, J. censored deliberately guided by ttie powiri in' Washington, had" misrepresents the situation in ths Philip pins' iW.s IN THE HOUSE.

The conference report on the agrj cultural appropriation hill was agreed to. The conference report on the urgent deficiency bill also was agreed to, The controversy begun last week between Mr.

Hull (of Iowa) and Mr. Sulzer (of New York) over a private bill granting an honorable discharge to Michael Mullett, was renewed and it required and aye and no vote before Mr. Sulser passed his bill. Considerable feeling was aroused over the contest and after the aye and no vote had been ordered Mr. Hull and Mr.

Sulzer personally canvassed the floor to influence the result. The absence of a quorum was disclosed on the first vote, but after absent members, had been summoned the bill was declared lost on a tie 73 to 73. Later an error in the count was discovered, and amid con siderable elation on the part of Mr. Sulzer and his friends the bill passed 74 to 72. After passing sixty private pen' slon bills the house took up District of Columbia "business.

PRESIDENT WILL SIGN BILL. Washington, May 28. President Roosevelt today informed a number of senators who called upon him that he would sign the Indian appropria tion hill. Some of the objections he had to It have been met by special legislation. There is still another provision which he insists on being corrected, and that is the one which gives the exclusive right to the Florence Mining company to pros pect for on year all the mineral land on the Uintah reservation In Utah.

It is understood that a bill will be at once introduced in both houses of congress repealing this provision, which, if it passes, will have the effect of allowing the general publio to explore the land and establish claims.

CHAFFEE DISAPPROVES IT CRITICISES VERDICT IN THE WALLER AND DAY CASES. The Commander of Mailnes in Sainar is Strongly Censured by the Reviewing Court. Manila, May 28. The official find ings of the court martial which tried Major L. W.

T. Waller and Lieut. John A. Day, of the marine corps, for executing natives on the island of Samar, without trial, have been made public. The reviewing authority of the court, Maj.

Gen. Adna R. Chaffee, commander in chief of the American forces in the Philippines, has expressed disapproval of the Court's findings in both cases. Referring to the case of Major Waller, the reviewing authority says: "The sending of the natives in question to their death partook more of unlawful retaliation than a justifiable act of war. In justice to the American military service the findings of acquittal demand that they shall not meet with unqualified approval.

"The marines in Jamar underwent great suffering before their rescue, and their officers, from their sick beds, voiced the revengeful anger of the men, who telephoned to Major Waller advising that the stevedores be killed. Major Waller received the message while he was sick, prostrate from a fever, suffering acuta pain of body due to exposure and his exer tions In behalf of his men, and men tal anguish concerning their fat, which had long been th doubt. Major Waller was at the time in telephonic communication with General Smith, who commanded th 'American' force in Samar, but he deliberately chose not to consult General Smith regarding bis contemplated action, and rather than forego th execution ei hi unrestrained will, he assumed th power ti law 'of customs of th service confer, upon commanding officers only In tint of war. 1 Giving heed to th mental attitude of Major as mucB or tne nna lns s.ox xne conn as are io mm vtewinr autharitv is at a loaa in nil detatand why th court did, jiot find jujor wauer in xn minor offsnss.
