BODY OF GIRL
SUICIDE FOUND
. AT MUSCATINE
Katie MOeller, Davenport Manicur-
ist, Who Jumped From Rock
Island Bridge, Buried.

One week ago today Katie Noel
Ter, 19-year-old Davenport mani
curist, jumped from the Rock Is
land bridge to her death. Today
the griefstricken parents babe
their last goodbye to the little
girl before her body was laid to
rest in Paramount cemetery. The
body was found in the river near
Muscatine late Saturday and was
brought to Davenport, where fu-
neral services were conducted this
afternoon.
The body was first seen floating
on the surface about one hundred
fifty feet from shore by Roash
Rhear, an employee of the Henry
Kath Grain Elevator company at
Muscatine, at 4:3O in the afternoon.
County Coroner w. S. Norton of
Muscatine was notified, in turn
sent for the police, by whom the
body was brought ashore. 1t was
badly decomposed and was identi-
NED by means of the clothing. The
girl wore a light tan suit, white
waist and black shoes. The corpse
was taken to the George Witch
undertaking parlors.
The girls father. Jacob Moeller
and Coroner Clarence Ebert of
Davenport left for Muscatine late
Saturday by automobile, but were
forced by the poor condition of the
roads to return. The body was
brought to Davenport by the faith
er, the uncle of the girl, J. NJ.

ed or rejected. Certain reserVa-
tons already proposed would pre-
vent America from guaranteeing
the territorial integrity or political
independence of members of the
league as covered in article 10.
The president has said that any
effort to exempt America from re-
sponsibility under this article or
any tendency to seek special priv
ileges for the United States while
compelling other nations to assume
an unequal burden would not be
an adoption of the treaty, but a
plain amendment OF it's contents.
Must Decide Exact Nature.
What the senators have to de-
eide, therefore, is how far they
wish to go in explaining article 10.
Some merely would state that I'M
der the article the congress of the
United States is not to be under
stood as relinquishing its constitu-
tional right to declare war. 9th
ers would go further and say that
under no circumstances does Amer
lea assume any responsibility ex-
cept as the congress may direct.
But if such reservation were
adopted, one of the most important
powers hitherto exercised by the
chief executive would be curtailed.
A long list of American presidents,
including Mckinley, Roosevelt and
Taft used American marines and
American naval forces to protect
American lives as well as the lives
of foreiPnerS generally in various
parts of the globe and did so with
out consulting congress as that
body has often not been in session
when an emergency arose. To ex-
clude the executive from all action
except in such cases as congress
may direct would be the first in
stance of such Limitation put into
any treaty Of the United States in
recent years. The line between
executive action in the employment
OF military and naval forces and
congressional authorization has

TRAP
MAN IN CHARGE
RIFLE EXPERTS
], Novel; Hawkins of Harrisburg.
Penn, Has Been Prominent
Shot for 20 Years.

J. NOVEL; Hawkins of Harris
burg, Penn, who is in charge of the
Winchester Shooting team, which
gives an exhibition in Moline on
Wednesday at the Tri-City Gun
club, is one of the pioneers of the
sport of shooting. He didn't put
the trap in trapshooting nor the
shoot in shooting, but he helped to
make trap shooting what it is to-
day-one of the leading sports of
American life
For more than twenty years
NOVEL; Hawkins has been a famil-
lar figure in the trap shooting
tournaments of the United States
and he is rated as one of the most
popular trap shots in the game.
That is saying a whole lot for
great number of the professional
shooters are very popular individ-
uals. For more than twenty years
Hawkins has devoted his energies
to putting trap shooting over, 13
years ago he took out the Win
chester team that shot in 43 cities
in 43 days and gave trap shooting
its first real boost. On the team
that made that memorable tour
three are on the team that is now
touring eight states. Besides Haw-
: kins the ones who made the trip
13 years ago and are on this team
are John r. Taylor of Newark,
Ohio, and Mrs. Ad. Topperwein of
San Antonio, Texas. The other
members of the team are Fred G..
Bills of Chicago, Ill, and Charles
G. Spencer of st. Louis, Mo.
In 1908, Hawkins led the profess
sional trap shooters of the country
in the averages with 1868 per cent.
The averages were not maintained
again until 1912 when Hawkins
bobbed up with .9505. In the fol-
! lowing years he averaged 1921 g,
9555, 1856. 1922. 1863 and 1876.
Hawkins is one of the shooters that
never picks his shoots, nor days.
shooting under all sorts of condi-
tons and never makes an alibi. He
has averaged better than 95 for 20
years and in that time has shot at
upwards of 100000 clay targets.

class shots that will exhibit here

been finely drawn and many a dis
pute has arisen but usually the
congress and public opinion have
concurred in the steps taken
Big Fight on Article 10.
Clearly the reservations made to
article 10 are the root OF the pres
ent controversy. Most OF the other
reservations while not exactly pal
atable will be swallowed by the
president. Nobody can foreteIl how
many votes will be cast for a res
erVation on article 10 that is in eff
feet an amendment, but If Presi-
dent Wilson considers that the
treaty would be qualified in any
important particular by the reser-
vation, he would most assuredly
announce that the senate declined
to ratify and would begin negotia-
tons with the powers of Europe to
affect the change desired. Wheth-
eR the senators who vote for that
kind of a reservation will want to
take the responsibility for such a
course OF action remains to be
seen.
Shows Repuhs. for League.
But the vote on the Fall amend
ments tells somethias% very impor-
tant. There are at least IL Re
publican senators who are con-
scientously trying to support the
principle of a league OF nations and
an unamended treaty and OF that
number enough may be counted
upon to prevent drastic reserva-
tons from being adopted. Some
reservations will be won by the
senate Republicans, but these VII
not prove embarrassing.
The decisive vote on the Pan
amendments demonstrates that the
presidents tour was not in vain
those who wish to defeat the
treaty outright are in the minority
But twas said today the amend
ments were dead before Mr.. Wilson
started west. Anyway. the public
will soon know whether all the ex-
tremists in the senate have been

FINAL ACTION
ON TREATY IS
NOW IN SIGHT
CONTINUED from Page one.)

Continued from Page one)
Their idea is to remove all doubt
and prevent misunderstanding in
the future.
There is, for instance, an inclin-
alton to say that America reserves
the right to interpret what the
Monroe doctrine means. Also in
case OF a dispute between the Brit
ish empire and any member OF the
league, it Is the desire OF the sena-
tors that the self-governing col
onies of the empire shall be re-
garded as a unit On the wisdom
or unwisdom Of these reservations
there will be some debate.
Vote Is Against Amendments.
But the whole fight will unques-
tionably center not on such reser-
vations as are outlined above but
on those that make no bones of an
intention to amend the treaty.
Some senators have said fatty that
they want to amend the treaty but
prefer to do it by reservations. So
the vote in the senate on the Fall
amendments can be taken in one
sense only as a disapproyal OF a
certain method OF getting the de-
sired result.
But it works both ways. If a
reservation amounts to an amend
ment, it can also amount to a re-
fusal to ratify the treaty without
such qualification, and the presi-
dent has said it would be his duty
as the chief executive to proclaim
whether the treaty had been adopt

With this little gun each member
of the team will shoot rs targets,
some thrown from the stationary
trap, some from a large hand trap
and some from a small trap.
Following the clay target exhibi-
ton, the Topperweins will give
their exhibition with rifles and
other weapons used in the war.
Mr.. Topperwein is the greatest Of
all rife shots and Mrs. Topperwein
is one of the best all-round shots
in the world. What this pair can
not do with firearms is beyond our
Imagination. They can do every
thing that any one else can do and
Just a little better.
The idea of the exhibition is to
get people to the gun club, to try
and interest them in shooting by
showing them how it is done, and
therefore every one is invited to
attend and be the guests of the
local gun club. The shooting will
begin at l o'clock.
