Mullen Denies That

Arthur F. Mullen, former demo-
cratic national committeeman for
Nebraska. contradicts the statement
that he told Mark Sullivan, politi-
cal writer, or anyone else, that he
would concede Nebraska to Harding
and the republican ticket.
II was at dinner several weeks
ago with Mr.. Sullivan and we dis
.cussed the Nebraska situation" said
Mr.. Mullen. Il don't doubt that the
German vote will go largely to the
republican side of the contest, but

democratic ticket. AS a matter of
fact. | regard Nebraska as doubt

PEARL FISHING GROWS.
Depletion in Persian Gulf Stimulates
Fisheries in West and Southwest.

To go pearling" may prove as popu-
lar a pastimc as to go fishing in the
west and southwest, according to re-
port on precious stones written recent
iy by Dr. George +. Kunz. In view Of
the depletion of pearl fisheries in the
Persian gulf, he says that attempts are
being made looking toward increased
activity on the Venezuelan coast and
in Lower California, and in rivers as
far far east as the Mississippi.
"There is an excellent prospect, the
report goes on, chat pearl, fishing will
soon be resumed on quite large scale
in the western and southwestern rivers
of the United States. The increasing
demand for pearl shells and the ex-
haustion of the stock of such shells
will operate in this direction, for the
fisherman will thus be assured of n
good return for his shells, while such
pearls as he may find will represent a
large bonus. Many of those who were
engaged in this search before the war
were either induced or obliged to give
it up, and now many OF item are 60
ing to their former task.
among the streams winch have fur-
nished the best pearls in past years
must be noted the Sugar river in Wis
cousin, the Clinch river in Tennessee,
the White and the Black rivers in Ar
kansas, the Wabash and the Mississip-
ri In Arkansas, especially, there are
said to be more people getting prepared
to go pearling" than ever before The
chief drawback is that the old outfits
are worn out, and some of the fisher
men lack even the small amount requi-
site to renew the supply.
'In Venezulan territory the pearl
oyster beds are situated at Margarita
island, Cubagua, El Tirano, Perimar,
Maracapana, Macanao and Golfo de las
Perlas. Pearl fishing is here engaged IN
by 400 sailing vessels and 1000 divers
during the season, and the annual re-
turns from the richest of the fields

5000 900. It was here that was found,
about 1860, the great pearl of Philip IL,
of Spain, known as the 'Peregrins, up

placed. New York Times.
