MARION, Ohio. Dec. 13.-PresSrre
on President-elect Harding to save the
frame work of the league of nations
by offering to enter it on safeguarding
conditions, Increased today with the
arrival here of Elihu Root, one of
the most powerful figures in the re-
publican party and staunch friend
OF the league.
Root planned to describe to Har-
ding the organization of the worlC
court under the auspices of the league
in x which he participated several
months ago. He was also expected
to outline to Harding the extent to
which European powers could be ex-
pected to go in making concessions
to American public opinion in striking
out article ten jurisdiction, immigra-
tion and other domestic questions and
Interpretation of the Monroe doctrine.
Rev. John Wesley Hill, New York
minister. was also scheduled to call.
Root is being strongly urged by GER
tain leaders in the party for secretary
of state Harding. however has not
displayed any inclination to view Root
would desire, and it is a possibility
that the first "show down" between
Harding and the so-called senate oil
garchy," may come over the question
of appointing Root.
Roots appearance here today served
to back up the pro-league arguments S
laid before Harding by Herbert Hoov-
er Hughes is understood to have
outlined essentially the same view,
William J. Bryan this week will also
bring a kind word for the league.
Ex-President Taft comes later for
the same purpose. Hoover's talk
with Harding threw light on several
problems which will face the new ad-
ministration. They discussed the
cabinet, the league, the labor situa-
ton. the plight of the farmers and
Europes chaotic industrial situation
Hoover's view is that the frame
work Of the league must be utilized
though with changes demanded by the
American public.

Police today were searching for the

Dutch Community Takes Ac-
tion in Case of Preacher
and Choir Member
Who Return.
MINISTER NOT PUNISHED
Some Hold Neither Responsible, Re-
garding Whole Affair as an Act
of God, as Densel Ex-
plains it.

[United Press Leased Wire Service ]
PASSAIC, N. J., Dec. 13.-The lit
tie Dutch community here, as much
a part of the old world as The Meth
erlands itself, apparently went stolld-
ly about it's business today, but under
the surface calm there was a seeth'
ing current Of gossip and speculation
about the latest turn to the naive
romance of the preacher and the
choir girl.
Public accommodation yesterday
of the parents of the girl, Miss Trina
Hannanberg, from the First Neither
lands church, of which the preacher,
the Rev. Corn elius Densel was the
titular head in this country, provided
food for comment by the good wives
and Younger members of the congre-
cation.
AS when the preacher and the girl
first returned together last week
from months joint absence, pre-
sumably in Canada, the Pensioners
we're divided in sentiment regarding
the culpability Of the. principals. One
faction continued to regard the whole
affair as an act of God, with neither
Densel aor Miss Hannanberg respon-
sible. The ones holding this belief
argued that the dominic should be
returned to his pulpit. There were
others who felt that the girl and her
family were responsible for the ro-
nance and who accepted Denseps ex-
planation that he returned to his wife
and eight children as. soon as God
had pointed out to him his error on
the streets Of Buffalo.
These held that the expulsion OF
Mr.. and Mrs Marinus Hannanbers
from the church was only justice.
Sill others, and these included the
majority of men in the congregation,
openly declared that the minister
should also be read out of the church.
So far as known, Densel has not
left the parsonage since he was well
coined back with open arms by his
family. Miss Hannanberg also re-
mained in seclusion. Mrs. Densel,
who had refused to add to her origi-
hal statement that she had forgiven
her husband, was reported to be suf-
fering from nervous breakdown.
The future status of Densel may
be determined at a meeting of the
church consistory tonight. 1t was
generally believed call would be
extended to some minister in Hol-
land and that the local pulpit would
be occupied meantime by the dominic
of one of the nearby churches or one
Of the elders.

The murder victim evidently was
