(Senators Ashurst (Democrat) of Arizona and Norris (Republican) of Nebraska did not vote. tsv>,v ir/i+o tnslatr funded a long A'UC ?WWV WUMJ committee fight over the bill, which was passed last January by the house and which has ibeen urged by negro and other organizations. Op ponents of the measure have de clared it an unconstitutional inter ference with state rights. Comparatively few changes were made in the original house bill and these were said to be designed to meet the con constitutional objec tions. A sub-committee of the sen ate committee recently recommend ed defeat of the bill on the ground that it violated the constitution. Some senaors voting today for a favorable report were said to hold doubts regarding its constitutional ity but thought the bill should be [ enacted and put up to the supreme i court. The bill declares that if states fail, neglect or refuse to maintain protection of life they shall be deemed to have denied the consti tutional guarantees and the federal authorities will have power to act by indictment of state officers or members of a mob and trial in the 1 leuerai vuuiw. The measure requires "reason able efforts by state officers to maintain order and protect prison ers and their failure would subject them to imprisoment for five years and a fine of $5,000. Members of mobs in which a prisoner is put to death would be subject to convic tion of conspiracy with imprison ment for five years to life provided. Counties in which fatal mob disor ders occur would De iiaoie u> xue family of the victim under a for feit of $10,000. Amendments adopted 'by the sen ate committee require that failure of the state officers to protect mob victims must be charged in the fed eral indictment and proven to the satisfaction of the federal trial court.

The victorious spurt of the Elec tricians was temporarily halted in Anderson Tuesday when Abbeville held them to a 2 to 2 score in a hotly contested game at Cater Park. The game was called in the last half of the tenth on account of rain. The *?*/? Vnvre* Kofflfl game was j Kennedy and Tollison throughout. Abbeville led off with a show of strength and chalked up one run in the first and another in the third, but e were never afterwards able to score i further. Anderson halted the rush of t] the invaders and came in for some thing when the locals made two runs in the sixth frame and tied up the contest. c Kennedy, former Erskine star, was g hit less easily yesterday than on ear- fc lier occasions by Anderson batsmen. They landed an even half dozen hits and close up work of the visiting in field held these down for short gains. However, Abbeville was able to get but five hits off Tollison and these were well scattered. Clyde Herron, Strickland and Tol lison each landed two.base hits for the locals, wtyile Agnew alone of the visitors fell a double during the ten innings of work.

The score was 4 and 3. In the first part of the game the score n was tied,-but the Electricians added three more scores in the ninth. When ' Abbeville came to bat in the ninth y they promptly filled the bases and two more runs were scored before . the end of the game. , Both Reames and Jones pitched 3 a good and steady game. They walk. | ed few and held down the hits. f Abbeville's "heavy" hitter Monday [ turned out to be Bruce Galloway, the [ high school home-run ace. Bruce took three hits out of four trips. Bob Galloway hit well in the pinches. He was the one who brought in those two runs in the ninth. Anderson flashed McGee of the Honea Path High as their best with the willow. Both teams played almost errorless ball in the infield, but Anderson's outfield was not well oiled. There 'were not so many specta tors at this game. We hope it was because of the cloudy weather and not because the fans are losing in terest. Score by innings: R. H. E.
