Washington, Dec. 14.?The antilynching bill, framed by the Republican party as means of striking a blow at the South, will very probably be enacted, as far as the house of representatives is concerned, Saturday afternoon. Although Democrats will greatly impede its passage through the senate, iis final passage is apparently certain. The Republicans have caucused and agreed. The bill was introduced by Representative Dyer of Missouri, and in the beginning it was generally belie Jt\l that Republicans, .with large r.egro populations to cater to, would be satished with an active sponsorship without insistence that it be written into law. It develops today that the Republicans are determined to put it through. The bill would transfer all cases involving lynching fiom stale to l'edoial courts, would line and imprison from li\e years to life any one participating in a lynching, would imprison an officer lax^ in jiiowTiig a pji:.oni'r, ana wouia nne the couty in which a lynching occurred $10,000. Democrats arc fighting the bill strenuously. They contend and believe that it is unconstitutional in that it warrants an invasion of state rights by the federal government, although it is probable that a section imprisoning i'.n oftiocr found guilty of withholding protection is constitutional. Similar statutes obtain in Illinois, Ohio and South Carolina. They have not decreased lynching. Representative James F. Byrnes of South Carolina. leading the light against the bill, declares th at during the 11 years an anti-lynching provision has been in the constitution of South Carolina, the lynchings have been only two less in number than during the 11 years preceding. * Christmas Celebration ???? <5*he Susanna Wesley Bible class, of Grace M.

NATIONS NEARING AN AGREEMENT Washington, Dec. 15.?With the formal announcement of complete agreement between Great Britain, United States and Japan on the basis for the latler's acceptance of the naval ratio awaiting adjustment of the technical details alone, the focal point of the arms conference appeared to be shifting to the Fur Eastern discussions. Washington, Dec. 11.?The naval ratio and Shantung, now the two overshadowing issues of the arms conference, both were at a crucial stage today, but with varying prospects oi immediate settlement. There was every indication that the naval ratio discussions were pio ceeding favorably, and some of the delegates believed a iinal solution would be reached at tile conference of the "big three" late today. The Sh mtung negotiations, on the other hand, have developed a t- I nation described in oiiicini circles as "very delicate," and the Japanc e delegates have referred to 'iokio the matter of the Kiaochow lailioad, a point which has developed into an issue. It is hinted that the Chinese and Japanese plenipotentiaries may refer their differences directly to a "big four" composed of the heads of the American, British, Japanese and Chinese delegations. Japan's desire to retain her new battleship Mutsu is the issue about which center the naval dis u s ous, with the Japanese apparently ready U) accept uie .American o-;> a plan if permitted to keep the Mutsu and scrap instead an older vessel. Similar concessions for the British ami American navies would be requisil as an offset, and the task oi arranging: all the technical details involved is one which is requiring considerable discussion. In the Shantung negotiations in the matter of the Kiaochow railway China has made pledges of payment which her delegates think ample to compensate the Japanese for improvements they have made on the road, but the Japanese delegates are unwilling to accpt the cifer and consequently have cabled Tokio for further instructions as to what foirn of security should be required.

Wood, of I'iiiladeiphia, president of tne Na tioiial Manufacturcis' Association of Wool Manufacturers, declared today ; before the senate finance committee ?t hearings on the wool schedule in the permanent tariff bill. Such a plan, Mr. Wood said, would hep industries "in a state of unrest at all times," and would result in constant pressure for changes in rates being brought ot boar on the president? and the tafiff committee, which under Mr. Harding's proposal, would recommend the changes in ''rytes to the preinidcnt within the limitations of maximum and minimum fgures to be fixed by congress. "Any plan that takes out of the nds of congress the power to fix rales for a definite time would be uns"ttling to business," Mr. Wood continuted.
