said to have reported her death, ae-
cording to Joseph Brown, detective

First, it was said. Davis wired
his father-in-law that Mrs. Davis
was very i'll. A short time after
ward, Davis is said to have tele-
phoned that she was dead. Where
upon. according to Brown, Elestein
purchased a coffin and flowers and
summoned the relatives. That was
Saturday. Sunday, Mrs. Davis tele-
phoned her father that all was well.
Mnoday the detective arrived. Mon
day night Davis was arrested

Davis, in a statement at the jail
Monday night, declared that family
troubles were to blame for the tan
gle. Mrs. Davis visited the jail, but
is said not to have communicated
with her husband.

telephone directory gives the name
of E. Elestein. No city detective
by the name of Joseph Brown is en-
pIoyed here, according to the police
department, which has had no re-
port Of the tangle mentioned in the

BONES Of STUDENT
FOUND; VICTIM Of
HAZ|NC, POLICE SAY

CHICAGO. May Leighton
Mount, Northwestern university stud
emf, missing since September, 1921,
class rush, whose skeleton was found
on the Evanston lake front last
night, was killed in the class rush,
Chief of Police Leggett, of Evans
ton, declared today.
mounts body was carried to the
pier after his death and buried be-
meath heavy stones" Chief Legget
said. There could be no other ex-
PLANTATION of the presence there OF
his skeleton.
at is likely that Mount was killed
accidentally during the class war in
September, 1921, and that his body
was hidden by students who were
frightened as a result OF their haz-
ing"
Both arms and hands, one foot and
one lower leg are missing, the chle1
said, and the pier beneath which the
skeleton was discovered is bang
guarded by police until a complete
search can be made.
Chief Leggett and President Wal
ter Dill Scott, of the University, met
today to arrange for the inquest to-
morrow morning. Chief Leggett an
nounced that the boys who testified
at the hearing held soon after
Mounts disappearance would be
among those. summoned to testify at
the inquest.
Besides the skeleton, identified by
the BOYS mother through a belt
buckle and fragments of a coat, the
chief exhibit for the inquest is
piece Of rope about 3 feet long,
found by the body. Students engaged
in the class rush Of 1921 said today
it was similar to the ropes given
scores of underclassmen for use in
tying the hands and feet OF mem
bers of the opposite class.
The rope found by Mounts body
was not knotted and gave no indl'
cation of having been tied around
the hands or feet of the skeleton
1t was worn about half way through
at spots about six inches apart.
Henry Warren, a. twelve-year-old
bow. discovered the bones under
meath the pier when he crawled
through hole in the concrete out
of curiosity. He saw foot bone
protruding from beneath a pile of
rocks and sand and went home and
told his mother. She informed the
police.
The pier is walled in on three sides
and police said that precluded the
possibility that the body might have
been washed underneath by the lake
waters.
An element of mystery attached to
the disappearance of Mount, as for
several days after he failed to re-
turn home students reported they
saw him. One said he met Mount
at o'clock the morning after the
class rush; another told of seeing
Mount on the street and waving to
him.
While Mounts disappearance was
attracting the attention of police and
school officials, Miss Doris Fuches,
girl friend, came forward with
story that the freshman had writ
ten her a note threatening to COM
NIT suicide.

Harding Tells How
He Caused Death
OF Innocent Gobbler

WASHINGTON, April SO.-A new
story about President Harding went
the round in Washington today, and
it was a true story because the
president told it himself during his
informal address Saturday night be-
fore the American Society of News
paper Editors.
The story was related by the presi-
dent as one Of the motivating influ-
ences, which, in his later life as
editor of the Marion Star, led to
the adoption of code Of ethics for
his newspaper. In the language or
the president the story follows:
when I was about eight years
old, it was my fortune every sum-
mer to go to the home of my grand
father on the farm. One of my
chores was to bring in the cows at
milking time, and one evening l got
my orders to go for the cows and
was unwillingly complying, but as
I skipped along, boy like, L picked
up a stone that we called a 'sailer'-
a thin stone, you will remember,
that you throw and it sails in the
air-ahd 1 let it go without any re-
sponsibility or design, at a flock OF
geese.
"And, by some misfortune of fate,
the sharp edge Of this stone struck
a fine big gander right in the side
Of the head, and he Whirled half
dozen times and fell dead.
''In my excess of sorrow that l
had killed the gander and my sense
of injury to my grandfather, rush
ed after the cows without making
a word Of explanation. And when
1 came back found my grandmoth-
er plucking the gander to save the
feathers and grandfather was orat-
ing. He had examined the dead bird
and had concluded that it had been
killed by a very ill-behaved turkey
gobbler, and he had reasoned out that
the gobbler had struck him in the
side Of the head and had killed him,
and thereupon decreed the gobbler
should die.
"And there 1 stood, boyish cul-
pitt and liar through omission, say
ing nothing in the gobbler's defense
and he went to the block, and L help
ed to eat him and a more innocent
gobbIer had never lived and died.
"It may seem strange, but that
incident has REQUIRED to me a thou
sand times in nv life"
