Woman Finds Brother
in "Death Row" After
Nineteen Years Search

COLUMBUS, July 25-The sister of
Edward Ness, who was convicted of
having murdered William THE, of
Cincinnati, today found her brother
for whom she has been searching 10
years, in the death house of the Ohio
Penitentiary.
Mrs. Lillian Wilson, of Columbus
Ness's sister, then heard the story of
the downfall of her brother, beginning
with his running away from home
when he was 16 years old.
She refused to give up hope of saw
ing her brother, and left the cell with
farewell promise that she would
make a final appeal to Ohio officials in
an attempt to save his life.
Mrs. Wilson saw the pictures of
eight men, who are awaiting execution
in the penitentiary, when she was
reading a Columbus newspaper to-
day. One of them closely resembled
her brother, of whom she had been
attempting to obtain a trace for 10
years, and she went to the prison in
search of him.

Leslie SHAW GIVES
PEACE TREATY View

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind, July Is.
Leslie M. Shaw, of Iowa, formerly
secretary of the treasury OF the Unit
ed States, who was in Charlottesville
last night to participate in a joint de-
bate at a chautauqua on government
ownership Of the railroads with Prof.
Charles Zubelin, of Chicago, believes
the league of nations covenant and
the peace treaty will be ratified by the
United States senate, but with amend
ments and reservations.
THE league pact, as now written,
Is not satisfactory to u.s." Mr. Shaw,
who is a Republican, said in an in
terview. LAS now written the league
does not say the United States shall
exercise Its own judgment and wishes
regarding immigration and the exclus-
ion Of the oriental. We may adopt the
covenant, but we will give notice that
we will control our own immigration
question regardless of the league. The
Monroe doctrine also is not amply
protected. We may sign, but our res
ervation will make it clear to the
world ha we mend to see hat the Mon
roe doctrine is protected and upheld
by us at whatever cost.
The Shantung Provision.
I'VE did not approve of the Shan
tung steal by Japarsas the price which
President Wilson was willing to pay
to induce Japan to enter the league.
This is a most abominable feature and
when the senate indorses the league
the world will know that we decidedly
disapproved Of this outrage against
China. Then, too, we want the world
to know that we will never go to war
unless the congress so declares. On
the other hand we reserve the right to
go to war when and where we please,
regardless Of what the league may say,
if w feel that our honor, sovereignty
or freedom is in danger"
Mr. Shaw said that, in his Judgment,
President Wilson went to the peace
conference with the sole idea Of writ
ing at the top Of the paper on which
league of nations Being permitted
to write that he consented to the rest
OF the nations around the conference
table writing beneath these words
that which they desired, Mr.. Shaw
thought.
When asked whether the league Of
nations would be a party issue in the
1920 campaign Mr.. Shaw said in his
opinion it would not, but added, the
Republicans in the senate who Op-
posed SO vigorously President Wilson'S
first draft Of the league. had per-
formed valuable service to the nation
in the changes which they secured for
the best interests of the United
States"

Frenchmon Makes Plea
for Early Ratification

NEW YORK, July 25-A plea for
early ratification of the peace treaty
because Of the necessity for all Of
us to go back to our work to prevent
strikes and strike agitation" was
made by Baron D'Estournelles de Con-
slant, member of the French SEN
ate, in an address here last night be-
fore the council of foreign relations,
on the eve of his departure for
France
Il will vote for the treaty as it is
he said. I'VE will amend it after Our
mutual good will is sure to be more
than its text. the real instrument to
organize a durable league of ma
tons"
The text of the treaty, he said. is
not as important for the people of
the world as the spirit which will in
spire its application.
eff the governments who have sign
"thry can use the treaty, imperfect as
ed it really want peace" he added,
1t is as a compromise much more eff
fective and durable than the most
strict, but insincere obligation.
The baron warned against the
alarmists who are satisfied to pretend
that the feelings between France and
the United States have changed since
the war is finished. and that this
change is the beginning of the end of
the Franco-American entente" He
characterized such rumors as mot on
ly lie, but a complete misunder-
standing of the most natural situa-
ton" He said he was returning to
France more confident than ever of
the solidity of the everlasting union
Of our two great republic sisters"

CONFERENCE TO

DR.. Edwards to Discuss Need
of Faith and. Idealism in
Opening Address.

The dual program of life in which
we would be sure we are right and
then seek points of contact" will be
discussed by President David NJ. Ed
wards of Earlham college in the open
Ing address of the Young Friends con-
ference at Earlham, Friday night, at
1880 o'clock
DR.. Edwards will present the ques-
ton of the superiority of faith over
logic with reference to the fact that
the hypothetical Is found in science,
and a corresponding hypothetical in
religion.
Which test is right? If logic is the
final test then the hypothetical Is Of
little value in religion and science.
We know the realm of the spiritual
even more certainly than the material.
and as the ship is guided by the COM
pass SO a man can also reach harbor
by Winding the compass implanted
in his breast" said DR.. Edwards in
discussing his subject.
He points out that the importance
of general principles underlying the
course of action cannot be overesti-
mated, he says pointing out that a
definite program is a straight line,
and that the straight line is the short
points.
Ideals Held Practicable.
The ideals of Quakerism today and
in the past have been called tmprac
ticable, and Friends have been on
veritable frontier Of ideals. These
stands taken against slavery and in
temperance were considered imprac-
ticable, he pointed out, but they are
lop Tho ctandc IN tho
present war were and are still called
"impracticable ideals" said he, adding
that it is the duty of all Friends to
hustle history" and hustle the day
when these ideals shall be more than
"impracticable thoughts"
