HITCHCOCK AND
LENROOT DISCUSS
NATIONS LEAGUE
Former Declares 1t to Be
Great Compromise to
End War
By Associated Press

New York, April S.-Acceptance
of the League of Nations covenant
as a great compromise of nations
willing to unite to end war" and its
rejection unless it meets the re-
quirements of that somewhat old
fashioned idea of America first"
were the pleas of two United States
Senators in joint discussion be-
fore the Economic Club here last
night.
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
chairman of the Senate foreign rela-
tions committee, was the advocate of
the covenant in virtually its present
form. Senator Lenroot, of Wiscon-
sin, advocated the America first"
idea.
Present Plan or None
Senator Hitchcock declared that
persons who object to the present
league plan should be placed in the
same class with thise who believe in
no league.
"It's this league or a return of
war;" he declared. This league or
no league at ALL"
"It is not just what we want" he
said. "It is not what England want
ed, or France or Japan. 1t is COM
promise.
Senator Lenroot confined his ad-
dress to the original draft of the
covenant, explaining that he wished
to show how well-grounded was
the action of the thirty-seven Sena-
tors who signed the round robin
against the original covenant"
Answering Senator Hitchcock's as
sertion that it was necessary to ac-
cept the covenant unamended or to
reject it altogether, Senator Lenroot
asserted it was peculiar that neu-
trails can be asked to suggest
amendments, but that neither the
Senate nor the people of the United
States have been asked to suggest
changes"
'! hope the treaty, when COM
pleted, will be in such form that |
can vote for it," he concluded, but
[ will not be coerced to vote for 1T
if l believe it's provisions are disas-
trous to the United States"

Comb the Tropical
Australian Coasts to
Supply Pearl Demand

Chicago-With the demand for
pearls so great that jewelers.
throughout the world are unable to
meet it and with the Oriental pearl
fisheries exhausted of all but small
pearls, the Australian pearl fishers
are combing the tropical northern
coasts of that island continent in
an effort to supply the expanding
market.
Pearl fishing is carried on in
the tropical seas of Queensland,
the Northern territory and West
Australia" says the British Board
of Trade Journal. The pearl oyster
inhabits the whole northern coast
of the commonwealth, length of
shore of 1000 miles. The aggregate
value of the pearls taken is not large,
but the pearl shells are marketed in
large quantities and the industry in
normal years gives employment to
many people.
''The most important fisheries are
in Queensland, Torres Straits being
the center of production. A statu-
tory limit is fixed for the minimum
size of the shell that may be gather
ed. Some years ago the discovery of
mother-o of-pearl shell in Port Dar-
win harbor in the Northern terri
tory, caused rush of pearling boats
from other districts. But the mud
diness of the water, rendered al
most Opaque by the heavy tides,
prevented satisfactory diving and
led to an abandonment of the in
dustry within three years. Pros
specting new areas in the territory
has since been carried on and the
industry recently has received a
fresh impetus"
In Western Australia, the centers
of pearl and pearlshell fishing are
Broome, Cossack, Onslow and Shark
Bay. The Shark Bay shell is col
lected by dredging in the deeper
waters and gathered by hand off the
shallow banks at low tide. In other
districts the fishing is done with
diving apparatus in water varying
from four to twenty fathoms.. The
inshore banks have been almost en-
tirely worked out and the fishing
now is carried on from three to
twenty miles off shore.

MOST ESTINABLE
WOMAN DEAD
Mrs. Edward Champion Passes Away
on Saturday Morning After Long
Illness Beginning Last Summer
FUNERAL HELD ON MONDAY
Funeral Services Very Largely At
tended by Many sorrowing ReIa-
tives and Friends

Mrs. Edward L. Champion passed
Iaway on Saturday morning, January
18th, at the Meehan hospital in this
city after an illness of several months
duration. EARLY last summer Mrs.
Champions health began to fail and
from the beginning it was apparent
that there was no hope for her ulti-
mate recovery. Last fall, in company
with her brother, DR.. ]. J. Meehan,
and sister, Miss Elizabeth Meehan,
she went to Chicago to consult spe-
cialist and intended to submit to an
operation. Her case, however, was
of such nature that it was decided
best not to operate and she returned
to Denison Since that time she has
been at the Meehan hospital where
she received the constant care of her
brother and sisters who did every
thing possible to relieve her suffering.
Mollie Meehan was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John Meehan and was
born April 6, 1881, in Hayes township,
Crawford county. In 1885 she moved
with her parents to Denison, where
she has made her home continuously.
On the Sd day of October, 1906, she
was united in marriage to Edward L..
Champion. Three children were born
to this union, one of whom died in in
fancy, the two surviving being En-
NETT. age II, and Joseph, age 81
months. Besides her devoted hus-
band and two sons she leaves to
mourn her untimely death four sis
ters and three brothers. namely: Mrs.
M. W. Conway, Aledo, ILL.,; Mrs. ]. A.
Houlihan, Denison, and Elizabeth and
Pearl, of Denison; Thomas Meehan,
of Vail; ]. M. Meehan, of Davenport,
and DR.. j. ]. Meehan, of Denison.
Mrs. Champion was most estim-
able woman and her death has caused
a profound sorrow among a large Cir
Gle of friends and acquaintance in
this locality. She was a young wo-
man of pleasant and kindly nature,
one who made friends easily and re-
tanned them. Mrs. Champion was a
most devoted wife and mother and
she will be sadly missed in the home
by her husband and the two children
thus bereft of a mothers loving care
Funeral services were held Monday
morning at 10 o'clock at the st. Rose
of Lima church, Rev. Father Farrelly
celebrant, Father Murphy, deacon,
and Father Harry sub-deacon, holding
solemn high mass. The services were
