of fact, this department has very few
cases awaiting action by the Federal
grand jury, as we have oeen handling
the great majority of our cases in the
State courts"
The move to create another judicial
district in Indiana is fostered, as have
been all moves of this character in the
past, by interests in northern Indiana.
For many years this section of the State,
particularly Lake County, has been anx-
ious to get out from under the hand of
Judge Albert B. Anderson.
There seems to be little reason for the
creation of a new district, Federal Court
officials say, other than the desire of
politicians to get new batch of pat
ronage and dislike of Judge Anderson
in certain sections of the State.
Judge Anderson has no trouble in try
ing all the cases that come before him,
despite the fact that for the last few
years the bulk Of business has been in
creased enormously by a continuous
string of liquor cases.
Frederick Van Nuys, United States dis
trict attorney, says that Judge Auder
son could handle three times as much
business as now comes before him.

CONFESSES HE
SLEW GIRL IN
SCHOOLROOM
SuitOr Said to Have Killed
, Teacher for Spurning
Marriage Offer.
FEAR MOB

WAUKON, Iowa, Dec. 14.-Earl Throst
confessed today that he murdered Miss
Inga Magnuson. pretty 24-year-old school
teacher. in her isolated country school
house near Dorchester.
L killed her because she turned me
down" Throst told Allamakee County
authorities.
Throst's confession came after six
hours of grilling by the county authorl-
ties after his arrest late yesterday at
POstville. Throst was a childhood friend
of Miss Magnuson and the two had at
tended country school together.
According to the confession, Throst
went to the schOolhouse late Monday and
asked Miss MagnusOn to marry him. She
refused and he beat her TO death. Her
body was found by her father who came
to seek her when she did not return from
school.
Throst is being kept under close guard
at the Jail here because of fears of a
lynching when his confession becomes
generally known. Farmers throughout
the countryside are aroused.
4 mob of 200 greeted him when he was
brought TO the Jail last night, but no at
tempt at violence was offered.
charge Of first degree murder would be
lodged against ThrOst.
Northwestern Iowa is deeply stirred by
two murder mysteries within twenty five
miles of each other. Two men are held
as suspects-One in each case.
Earl Throst, a, is under arrest here for
the murder of Miss Inga 1tagnuson,
pretty 22-year-old school teacher, whose
body was found in her lonely school
house near Dorchester. Throst was taken
at Postville as ne was about TO board
a train. BloodhOunds and deputies IN
der direction of Miss Gunda Martindale
sheriff Of Allamakee County, participated
in a cross country chase after ThrOst.
The second murder mystery concerns
the death of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Van
Brockland on a farm twelve miles from
DEBORAH. They were slain Sunday. Elmer
Van BrOckland, a brother of the slain
young farmer is under arrest.
In the MagnusOn murder case, the fact
that the key to the schoOlhOuse where
Miss MagnusOn taught was found in
Throst's pocket; that he was riding a
horse stolen from q farm near the scene
of the murder. and that his coat was
bloodstained, were cOnvicting links in the
chain Of evidence against him.

LESSER POWERS
FLAUNT CLAIMS
AT WASHINGTON
Special to Indiana Daily Times

Nv RAYMOND G, CARROLL

by MA OAhhOLAs
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-There are
representatives Of a dozen or more I'M
recognized nations of the world in
Washington knocking at the door of the
United States and incidentally availing
themselves of The opportunity of the ar
mament parley to faunt and press their
claims If these "unrecOgniZed nations"
would only club together, hire a fair
sized building IN the heart of Washing
ton, call it say the Consolidated En-
bassy of Claimants, then they would
present a more get-at-able and formidable
front than scattered all over the District
of Columbia.
What the representatives of the ''un-
recognized nations" desire is to have the
world map cut up some more, and one
had to feel sorry for our Riddles In

country and how to pronounce 1t with
its boundaries only to unlearn them a

The funniest thing about the Russian
situation in Washington is that the Rus
sian embassy is occupied by one Boris
Rakmetieff, a holdover from the time of
the Kerensky government at Petrograd.
Boris does not seem to mind in the least
being without a country behind him,
and lives on here entertaining and am
bassadoring. while the unrecognized So
Wet government of Lenin and Trotzky
is represented in America by New
York lawyer. Charles Recht.
About on the same practical parity as
the Kerensky Russian delegation is the
Korean commission, composed Of DR..
Syngman Rhee, Philip Jaisohn and
Henry Chung.
Two other "unrecognized nations" that
have been heard from at the State De-
partment are the caucasian twins

Azehbaidjan, with a capital city at Eliza

that little word is always big but in
this case bigger than ever no nation
would care to stand aside from such
meetings. Nine times out of ten,
moral force is greater than the sword
particularly in these times when the
world is suck of war The people who
make up the various countries would
not stand long for those in power
who would refuse to join in discus
sion of matters such as are now being
talked ever lin Washington. That
is the great power behind such meet
ings as the one in Washington and
those suggested for the future by our
President. 1t isn't matter of form
ing cub such as the League of Nat
ions that gives one country six times
the power of another so that the
gathering ends in putting something
over. 1t is simply a proposition of
asking nations to get together and
talk over serious matters, leaving it
to moral force such as is being dis
played today throughout the world,
to sway the meeting into the right
channel.
"The relations between the vari-
Gus European countries are not sett-
led. Great Britain and France are
arguing over questions in the Near
East as well as Germany's settlement
in the terms of the Versailles treaty.
France feels she must have large
army and the fact that Great Britain
has fallen into line with Secretary
Hughes ideas for reduction of arma-
ment has not helped the feeling be-
tween those two countries. But that
is what the conference is for and by
the time it is ended real understand
ing will have been reached 1t now
looks as if Premier Lloyd George of
England will come to this country, he
may even be on his way by this time.
And the suggestion of our President
has had more to do with his final de-
cision TO come than any other one
things. He knows that now is the
time to get together as sane, sensible,
business men. No alliances are ne
cessary, in the first place, and the
world knows that the United States
will not enter one.
"Our fathers established this coun-
try on policy of keeping out of al
liances and the world is no different |
today from what it was then. We |
cannot tie ourselves to Europe by |

. Taking Desnerate Chances

1t is true that many contract severe
colds and recover from them without
taking any precaution or treatment,
and knowledge of this fact leads,
others to take their chances instead
of giving their colds the needed at
tendtion. It should be borne in mind
that every cold weakens the lungs,
lowers the vitality, makes the system
less able to withstand each succeed
ing attack and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. Can you af-
ford to take such desperate chanses
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
famous for its cures of bad colds may
be had for a tfifle?

Uncle Ted's Bedtime Story

"You know why you say that and
so do l." was Jacks reply to his next
door ehum, Freddie, when Freddie
had kept up a rapid-fire conversation
in which he insisted that President
Harding's suggestion of some sort of
association of nations was just like
Woodrow Wilson's world cub plan.
"Why do l, them" was Freddie's
reply.
Because your father is Democrat
and you don't want to admit that our
President, who happens to be a Rep
ublican, ever thinks for himself. How
do you suppose the big conference in
Washington ever got there if it
wasn't because President Harding
worked out the plan and succeeded
in starting it so well that he could go
to his desk and run this country?"
ooh! you kiddies," exclaimed Uncle
Ted as he arrived on the scene of bat
tie. "You must not take sides like
that about things as big as this con-
ference which means so much to the
future of the word. Everybody must
pull together. So far as President
Harding's suggestion of an associat-
ion of nations is concerned, it has
nothing to do with the world club
pan. So rest easy on that score"
"Tell US something about it." said
Ruth.
First of ALL" began Uncle Ted,
"the suggestion put out by our Presi-
dent is no more like the world club
than black is like white. There would
be no body of representatives as in
the world club. There would not be
any written set of rules as fer the
club. No penalties would be provid-
ed for those who violate agreements.
It's biggest difference is this: With
the big conference running so smooth
ly in Washington, with greater
gains made toward limiting arma-
ment than ever before, President
Harding no doubt felt that if nations
could get together so we'll this time
they could do it again, provided they
were not tied hand and foot by lot
of rules. He put out the suggestion
while the conference is in session so
that discussion of the idea could be
started, thereby getting the ball roll
ing toward that ultimate, but far a.
way point, world peace
Another big fact is that this new
idea would include ALL COUNTRIES
even Germany and Russia. (wher
Russia becomes a stable government.
Invitations would be sent out just as
they were for the present conference
and the various countries could send
representatives or not, just as they
wished. In other words, no strings
would be attached to the invitation
