Nj. Wepking, a sophomore, was
drowned in Lake Mendoza yester-
day when the canoe in which she
and Arthur Harwood, another stud

Harwood was severely shocked by
exposure.
Nearly two hours after the acci-

fed. In the meantime the couple
had been blown by the heavy wind
nearly two miles off shore.
Three canoes which were near
when the accident happened at one
time managed to right the boat
which had overturned, and had
pulled Miss Wepking, who was al
ready overcome, into it The canoes
were then tied together and an at
tempt made to reach the opposite
shore after two men and one Of the
girls in the party had swan ashore.
Water filled one of the canoes,
struck broadside by the high waves,
and all four Of them overturned,
throwing Miss Wepking into the
lake again. E. H. Haugen, a soph-
omcre, tried to hold the girl, but
lost his grip and she went down.

London, April 25.-Renewed ef-

gan the last Sunday in March and

spite repeal Of the state law. pro-
ponents of daylight saving estimate
that fully 80 per cent of the states
population will be under daylight
saving this summer.
In Illinois, Chicago went on
summer daylight saving time BY
vote Of the people in the election
of last year and will continue to dc
so until this city ordinance is re.
pealed. Accordingly q large mum.

But President Harding and Sew

MAKESP[EA
FOR irish
REPUBLIC
LaF Toilette, Advocates $
Recognition in Speech
Before Senate.

Washington, April 25.-The
cause Of Ireland was pleaded in the
senate today by Senator LaFollette,
Republican, Of Wisconsin, who, in a
prepared address advocated his
resolution proposing recognition of
the Irish republic"
ireland is today a test of real
Americanism," he said. Those
who today most actively oppose
recognition of the independence OF
Ireland in her struggle for free
dom from Great Britain are of the
same flesh, the same blood as the
Tories of 1776. Those who today
favor recognition by the United
States of Irish independence. stand
upon the great fundamental prin-
ciples of human liberty. which were
written into the declaration Of in
dependence"
II believe that Ireland should be
free-as free and independent as
any nation On the GLOBE" he told
the senate.
II believe she should be as in
dependent and have as complete
dominion over her own destiny as
England, France or the United
States, and by the same right-the
inherent right of every nation tc
a government deriving its just
powers from the consent Of the
governed.
I'D go further than that: I be
lieve that this country, without VIC,
lating any of the usages OF inter.
national law. without even giving
any other nation Just cause for il
will, should do everything withir
her power, consistent with its owl
principles and traditional polacy, Il
encourage the recognition Of Ire
land as a free and Independent re
public.
Cowardly Silence.
II stand for this country doing
no more for Ireland than we have
done for other small nations of th'
world, but l stand for this govern
ment doing no less. l am unalter
ably opposed to those who woult
have US abandon that traditiona
policy and make us, by cowardl!
silence, accomplices Of the oppres
sors of Ireland"
The Wisconsin senator referred
to last weeks visit of Presiden
, Harding to New York to unveil th'
statue Of Simon Bolivar. the Ven
czuelan patriot and predicted 'tha
it will not be necessary to wait
hundred years until an America
president will unvel with all fit
ting ceremony. and with the ap
proval of the whole American peo
pie, a statue to Eamonn de Valera
the first president of the Irish re
public"
rs it possible" he inquired, tha
the American nation has become 81
corrupted by the example OF i'm
peralism and is so overawed b,
the splendor and power Of tn
British empire. that she dare no
now challenge her right to oppres
nation which she holds only b.
/ superior military force?'
Senator LaFollette predicted tha
! this congress would not clos
without a vote upon the issue o
recognition of the Irish republic"
