The published description OF the

shaped affair, and OF the clothes
found on the body, led the Mimic peo-.
pie to believe that the body might
be, that OF Cook. People at Mimic
communicated with a local undertake
ing establishment which, upon receiv-
ing additional information, took up
the matter and had the body ex-
humed this morning. AS the marks
Of the body all indicated that they
belonged to the missing Joe Cook,
it was taken for granted that there
remained no more doubt as to its
IDENTITY. .T -
Had Wanted to Enlist.
Mr.. Cook left Minot In the latter
part OF November and came to- Grand
Forks, with the intention OF enlistfng
IN the army: Being physically unfit
his enlistment could not. be accepted
n he Remained in town for some
time. About two weeks after having
left Mimic friends from there made
Inquiries in Grand Forks relative to
the whereabouts OF the dead man. No
information was received and it was
supposed that he would return to
Mimic in the. course OF time.
He was a member Of Company c
of Grafton which made SO brilliant a
record In the Spanish-American war,
Friends of the dead man at Mimic
said last night that he was a single
man and between As and SO years old
He had been employed at the Mimic
hotel as %cterR for "a years. He Is
reported to have left there just-be-
fore Thanksgiving and said he was
going to Grand Forks and would re-
turn in a few days; when he did not
return within a reasonable length :If
time inquiries were made and he ./ls
traced to East Grand Forks. Mimic
people are of the impression that his
death was purely accidental as he did
not have any money on fiis person
when leaving and was not supposed
to have been under the influence of
liquor. ~

agent from a submarine and it has been
reported that he did arrive and was ar,

Says He! Has Three Instances
Where Corporations Attempted
To Sell To American Corpora
tlonS Receiving Only Notes
STATEMENTS FALSIFlED
AS TO FOE HOLDINGS
Notes Were Accepted In Expeo-
tation That War Would End
Before They Fell Due and Prop
erty Would Revert Back

NEW YORK, June 2S-(As-
~ sociated Press) - Plots to
hide enemy assets in the United
States under the cloak of Ameri-
can corporations were last night
revealed by A. Mitchell Palmer,
custodian of enemy property. He
charges that Americans were in
volved in these conspiracies and
that returns were falsi6ed so as
TO show that tioeenemy properly
Was held. :.
Custodian Palmer says that he
has three instances Of such efforts
to conceal enemy property or to
make arrangements such that the
property would be restored to the
enemy intact at the close of the
war.
In his statement the custodian
says that three German owned
companies planned to sell their
assets to American corporations
without cash consideration but
for notes which were not to be
payable for three years, it being
hoped or believed that before
those notes should fall due the
war would be ended and the prop
erty could be passed back to the
present enemy owners with accre-
tions and profits.
He also alleges that these three
corporations falsifed their returns
so as to show, after such attempt
ed sales, that no enemy property
was held.
