posed Corpse; Identification
Almost Impossible.

The body of an unidentified man.
badly decomposed and believed to
have been in the water since early
winter. was found in the Missis-
sippi river near Krueger's island
yesterday afternoon about O'Clock.
The drowned man was found by
Perry J. Mcconnell, 1873 Twelfth
street, and Fred Beselin, $50 Ninth
street, who were returning from
down the river in a boat. The body
was found in the channel between
Krueger's island and Suburban is
land on the Kruger island side, a
short distance below the Twin-City
Rendering works. Coroner John F.
Maberry was called about o'clock
last night and the body was re-
moved to the Wheelan funeral
home. An inquest was held at 3
O'Clock this morning.
Coroner Maberry said this morn
ing that the man had evidently been
in the river since. early winter. ac-
eording to the manner in which he
was dressed. he WAS CIOluSu III
two suits of .undergarments, two
shirts and a dark suit. He wore a
pair of dress shoes and from what
remained of the clothing, he was
apparently a we'll dressed man,
Coroner Mulberry said. He was
about 5 feet, s inches in height and
is believed to be about 40 years old.
, In the pockets of his trousers
were found an Ingersoll watch, a
pocketbook and large-sized
memorandum book. There was no
writing of anykind in the memoir
andum book and the pocket-booE
was empty. Although no clue Of
any sort had been obtained, Coron-
er Maberry is of the belief that the
man was accidently drowned and
has come from a long distance up
stream.
The body, beyond recognition
and identity, was ordered buried
this afternoon, in Cbippiannock
cemetery.
/ The clothing will be the only
means by which the body can be
! identified and police in surround
ing towns have been notified by the
coroner.

Citizens Name Committee to
Present Petition to Com
missioners., ,

Tenleytown began its fight for a
separate police precinct last night
at its monthly meeting of the Citi-
zens' Association. A special COM
mittee was named to wait upon the
Commissioners with a petition for
the division of the present Seventh
precinct, creating Tenleytown sub
station into a full precinct
According to Luther L. Derrick,
president of the association, the
Seventh precinct Is almost twice as
large as any other in the District.
The citizens of Tenlcytown want
the present sub-station to be con-
verted into a main station, with a
captain in command instead of a
lieutenant as at present. The equip
ment is such that little change
would have to be made for this re-
vision, they said.
Steps are being taken by the as
ISOLATION to choose a site for a
school building which the District
appropriation bill will allot to Ten
leytown.

DODGE BROTHERS CHIEFS
 ADVANCE

Several important changes in the executive personnel are announced by Dodge Brothers, c. w. Matheson has been advanced from general sales manager to vice-president in charge of sales; John A. Nichols, Jr., pro- noted from director of field opera tions to general sales manager; John H. Gordon, from New York district representative to director of distlibu- tion. MT. Gordon succeeds J. E. French, who resigned to take over the Dodge Brothers leadership in San Francisco, where he maintained his headquarters for several years as Dodge Brothers district representa- tive.
 MT. Matheson, the new vice-presi- dent has heen an important figure in the automobile industry for many years. With his brother, Frank Math- eson, he built and marketed one of the first higher priced cars in the field. When Dodge Brothers began manufacturing car of their own he became New York district representa- tive and few years later was ad- vanced to the home office as director of service. His appointment as gen. eral sales manager followed in 1920.
 MT. Nichols, the new general sales manager, has also been on the eXecu- tive staff of Dodge Brothers iron: the time they first began building cars. He was for five years Seattle district representative, then was advanced to the New York office. It ws.s from the latter post that he was called, in January of the present year, to be- come director of field operations.
