AueUSTANA1 TO
MEET. CARTHAGE


The Augustana debating teams
will meet Carthage college Of Car
thage. ILL.,. tomorrow evening in the
second Of q series Of triangular de-
bates held between Monmouth, Car
thage and Wahoo colleges. The
question to be debated is: "Rssolv-
ed. That European immigration
should be further restricted by
law" The Affirmative team which
meets Carriages negative is FRI
tiof Fryxell, Malvin Lundeen and
Cyrus Churchill. Augustana's neg
alive which meets Carriages AZ
firmative is composed Of Lester
Palmer. Barbara Garst and Earl
Hanson.
Two judges for the home debate
have already been chosen. Judge
d. v. Jackson and J. J. Fishburn.
both Of Muscatine, have been $50
iected. Superintendent Of Schools
T. W. Callahan Of Galesburg will
probably be the third. -
Augustana's decisive victory over
Monmouth college has given in
spiration to Coach Schersten's
teams, and it is their highest hope
to score a victory over each oppon-
ent in the series. Indications point
to a most successful season. Mon
mouth is considered the strongest
Of Augie's opponents. and winning
over them in such decisive fashion
lends hope Of handing Carthage
and Wahoo a similar defeat.
Coach A. F. Schersten in a state
ment this morning said: Both the
Affirmative and negative sides have
improved steadily since the debate
with Monmouth. Each team has
put in much time on new construc-
tive work as we'll as on rebuttal.
and they are better prepared to
meet Carthage tomorrow than they
were against Monmouth"
The home debate will be held In
the chapel Of the college and be-
gins at s o'clock.

|URCESPARDON
FOR PRISONERS
G0mpefs and Other Labor Officials
Make Plea for Release Of
Debs and COnradeo.

Washington, April 4.-CUnited
Press. )-Organized labor today re-
newed its plea for release Of polit-
ical prisoners.
Samuel Gompers. head Of the
American Federation Of Labor, and
a delegation of labor ofacials
called at the White house and urged
President Harding to pardon all
persons who were sentenced be-
cause Of their views on the war. :.
The most conspicuous Of these Is
Eugene Y. Debs, now in Atlanta
penitentiary, whose case Is now un-
der review by Attorney General
Daugherty.
Another delegation composed
largely Of Socialists Is to call at the
White house on the same mission,
April Is.
The labor delegation is restrict

BETTER LEvEE
!, WILL PROTECT
Low SECTIONS
Federal Appropriation Of 100000
is Added to Districts
$4,000.

Levee extending from OeDDsFaa
creek in Drury township to New
Boston in Mercer county is to be
rebuilt through a federal appro-
priation of 100000 to which will
be added $4,000 subscribed by the
Bay Island levee district. The
award was made by the inland vat
erways commission in session at
St. Louis.
The entire sum will be expended
in fortifying the district, a stretch
ofabout Is miles along the Illinois
side, from flood stages of the Mis-
sissippi. The levee was built in
1905. 1t was constructed Of good
filling material, but is not Of suf-
ficient height or adequate cross
section to Withstand maximum high
stages of thu river such as pre-
vailed during the spring seasons
Of 1916 and 1920.
The old levee will serve as a foun-
dation for the new one, which will
be both higher and wider.
The contract will probably be
let within the next 30 days and
work begun Immediately, accord
ing to officials Of the waterways
commission. The commission will
supervise the construction. IT. is
said that at least two years will be
required to complete the work be-
cause Of its large proportions.
Two dredges are at work repair
ing the south well Of Copperas
creek. partially destroyed in 1920
Two others, recently set in place
along the north levee, will be put
in operation within a week.
Levee Fill Finished.
Most of the heavy filling on the
south levee has already been &C.
complished, in the mile of new levee
that has been completed. One mile
remains to be rebuilt and the entire
fill will be completed early in the
summer.
The north ievee was damaged the
worst Of the two. Work on it Is
not SO far advanced. One and one
half miles Of this wall remain to
be finished.
About 200 acres will be reclaimed
for cultivation through drainage
Of CLANCY lake by means of a ditch
being dug by the Bay Island dis
trict dredge. This will also tend to
afford better drainage for the land
surrounding the lake.
