the treacherous Channel waters be-
tween Cape Girls NeZ and Dover and
prouder still of the time she made,

pressed elatiOn today that another
American woman had gone across.

woman's accomplishment. The news
came soon after she had arisen to face
n world still anxious TO acclaim her.
Crowds of admirers were lingering
outside her Amsterdam avenue home,
guarded by twoscore policemen, when
the report came that Mrs. Corson had
reached the English side. She sent a
message to newspaper men that she
thought it was Just great"
Miss Ederle said she had met Mrs.
Corson at Cape Girls Nez. In refer
ence a challenge issued by the lat
ter's manager for Mrs. Corson to meet
all Corners in a swim around Manhat-
tan Island for a $25 900 purse Miss

lawyer, managing Miss Ederle's af-
fairs. said that plans for the future
had not been worked out. He said the
question of her breaking training did
not arise, because Gertrude always
kept in physical trim and could pre-
pare quickly for any future events.

Channel swim.
At 5 o'clock this morning, when
about IL miles from the French shore,
Mrs. CorSon's friends considered she
had a very good chance to beat Miss
Ederle's record, but the ebb tide be-
ing adverse, she was carried far off
her course to the west.
All through the night and the
| morning and the afternoon the swim

| on the motorboat. 10 in number.

aspirant, acted as cheev leader and

| voice led his chorus in impromptu
| ballads such as ''Oh. Mile, Millie, Oh,

| During the course of the swim

DAVID, HALL CASE
SLEUTH, AGAIN HIT.
Prosecution and Assistant
Say Detectives Attitude
Is Not Approved

by the assO'ldteu TfeSs.
SOMERVILLE, y. j.. August Is
Fred A. David, chief of MiddleseN
County detectives, and a center of
controversy since State Senator Alex
ander Simpson assumed charge of the
reopened HallMills murder investiga-
ton as special deputy attorney gen
eral, received new blow today when
Francis Monaghan. assistant prose
cutOr of MiddleseX County, said that
Davids attitude and statements were
approved neither by him nor John A.
Toolan. prosecutor.
David was on the MiddleSeX County
detective staff four years ago when
the bodies of Rev. Edward w. Hall
and his choir singer. Mrs. Eleanor
Mills, were found in Derussy's lane,
near New Brunswick. lie was active
in the original investigation although
the bodies were across the line in
Somerset County.
Asked Governor to Act.
Simpson charged David with chang
ing his statements from time to time.
and last night asked Gov, Moore
to take action against the detective
for constructing justice"
A missing gold brooch, which has
caused much discussion during the
present inquiry, was located yester-
day. 1t was David's inability to ac-
count for the whereabouts of the
brooch that was directly responsible
for Simpsons appealing TO Gov.
Moore.
The governor communicated with
Mr.. Monaghan and requested that
David either cooperate with Simpson
or get out of office.
The discovery of the brooch verified
David's assertion that he turned the
brooch over to a Highland Park man
when he was convinced that it be-
longed to the latter's wife and did not
enter into the murder investigation.
Statement Borne Out.
David has insisted that the brooch
was found several weeks after the
crime and statements by Frank j.
Daley bear him out. Daley said it was
his wife's and was dropped month
after the murder.
The brooch was found by Edward
Tierce on the old Phillips farm, where
the murders were committed.
Simpson said today the discovery
of the brooch would not cause him to
drop his attempt to have David re-
moved and asserted David has done
a lot of things which need to be eX-
planned.

Tragedy Shrouds
Anticosti Island

Though Senator Menier could spend
only summers on Anticosti-the island
is marooned through a long winter
he never lost interest in the great ex-
pertinent initiated by his brother. But
increasing age made the sea voyage
more exacting
Jacques Cartier In 1884 discovered
the island, which in mood of piety
he called Assumption" name
which, however, would not stick
Then King Louis " presented it as
a seigneury to Sieur Louis Joliet, dis
coyerer of the mouths of the Missis-
sippi and the Illinois. Joliet didn't
seem to appreciate Anticosti, and his
name is perpetuated not by the ST.
Lawrence island, but in penal insti-
tuition at Joliet.
But in Joliet's family the little is
land kingdom remained until 1873,
when an English company, having
bought it, induced Newfoundland fish
ermen and their families to settle
there by dreams of a new Beulah
Land.
Canadian government supply boats
saved the settlers lives after their
dream dissolved within year, with
the company's money. In 1867 f.
W. StockweIl of Quebec bought the
whole island for 100000 Menier, in
his turn, bought it outright in 1895
from the Island of Anticosti company,
Limited, Of London, an English COM
pany which had gone bankrupt.
The English fishermen and wreck
ers who were squatting on the island
soon realized that Henri Menier had
begun his reign that he was French
to the core, and that he did not ap-
preciate their semicivisized mode of
life. Ordered by Menier to leave the
island and not to fish within three
miles of the shore, the mutinous fish

made the most accessible section of
the south shore their profitable
stronghold for many years. Deter

Menier Outwits Wreckers.
Out of the darkness that overlook
them shone the lure-light of the wreck

his course toward the fatal beacon
when Menier had his suspicious reused
and went shoreward with dozen men
in launch. They were fired upon by
the wreckers, who saw the yacht an
Choir and realized that their trick had
failed. Next day at the head of an
armed posse of his employees Menier
discovered their hiding place. A bat
tie ensued, in which two Of the wreck
ers were wounded. Piling the fisher
men and ship ghouls into his yacht,
Menier landed them summarily on the
coast of Quebec.
Here was clash of sovereignty,
and soldiers began drilling for pos

and possibly France, but the affair
