DEATH
BEING PR0BED
BY OFFICIALS
University Of Iowa Professor
to Make Second Examina-
ti0n Of Vital Organs

Marshalltown, Iowa, Jan. 24--t@')--
Iowa City today will be the scene Of
activities in the Investigation Of the
mysterious death Of Charles Elrod,
Lewellen, Neb., youth who was found
dead in his room at a hotel here two
weeks ago.
Dean Wilber J. Teeters, Of the Uni
vcrsity of iowa. will make second
examination of the vital organs Of
the young man today in order either
to substantiate his first finding that
there was no trace of poison in the
viscera or to detect some clue by
which authorities here may continue
their investigation.
All other phases Of the invcstiga
tion apparently are marking time
pending the outcome Of Dean Tee
ters' examination.
That Elrod died an unnatural death
is the claim of authorities and they
arc now standing by in the hope that
some new angle may develop out of
the second examination Of the vital
organs.

LEGISLATURE
MAY BE ASKED
FOR 100000
This Sum Needed Quickly to
Pay Back Taxes on Land
F0reclosed BY State

Quick action on an emergency
measure to raise 100000 with which
to pay back taxes on land forecloscd
by the state farm loan department
may be asked of the legislature by
the state industrial commission as
the result Of recent decision by the
supreme court.
In the decision the supreme court
held that the state must pay taxes
accruing on property prior to the
time it foreclosed farm loan mort
cages and acquired title.
The result, members Of the indus
trial commission have been told, is
that 100000 must be raised immcdi-
ately to prevent tax titles from being
issued on property to which the state
holds title under mortgage forcclos-
ure proceedings but on which the
taxes have not been paid.
Bank Wants Security
The Bank Of North Dakota as fiscal
agent for the state already has ad-
vanced $4,000 to pay back taxes.
This amount is unsecured and the
bank objects to advancing more
money without some sort of security.

No Let-down Apparent in
Chinese Plan TO Drive For
eigners From Country
TO DEFEND SHANGHAI

Shanghai, Jan.24.--(P>-The mailed
fist, as cxemplificd in the armed
forces Of Great Britain and Japan,
thrust itself into the foreground Of
the Chinese situation today.
With additional reports Of con-
stantly spreading anti-foreign and an
ti-Christian agitation, and the suc-
cess Of negotiations for the return
of foreign concessions to. China un-
decided at Hankow, both powers made
unmistakablc military moves yestcr-
day and today, which, however, were
described as merely precautionary
measures"
From Hong Kong, the British de-
spatchcd three companies Of Punjab
troops to Shanghai, while from tho
Sascbo naval station four Japanese
dcstroyers departed for unannounced
points in China. In Hong Kong, it
was stated that the departure of the
Indian soldiers marked the start Of
the movement of the British quota
for the defense of Shanghai, in ac-
cordance with an agreement with the
United States, France and Japan. This
revealed for the first time that the
powers had SO completely considered
the possibility Of the foreign settle
ments being attacked, that it had
been decided how many men each
power should supply for the defense
of the concessions.
While the powers moved to guard
their interests, reports indicated nc
let-down in the Chinese determine
tion TO drive the foreigner from the
country.

OHIO RIVER
RISES FAST
IN 5 STATES
Flood Crest Moves Into Ohio,
Indiana, West Virginia
and Kentucky
700 HOUSES FLOODED
Railroad Officials Prepare to
Abandon Union Station
at Cincinnati

Cincinnati. Ohio, Jan. 24-R)-
Residents Of five states along nearly
500 miles Of the Ohio river viewed
with apprehension today the steady
rise Of the river which has driven
hundreds Of persons from flooded
lowlands.
While the water was receding
somewhat in the Pittsburgh area,
where the Allegheny and Mononga-
hela rivers merge to form the Ohio,
with prospects that further danger
of floods had passed there, the crest
of the flood was moving steadily
southwestward, with damage to Ohio,
Indiana, West Virginia and Kentucky
territory.
Flood stage had been reached and
passed in many localities and fur
ther rises were predicted for the
next "a hours. The lower portions Of
number Of towns were under water,
many persons were forced to the sec
ond stories of their homes or to seek
shelter on higher ground, rail and
automobile traffice was hampered,
water supplies were endangered and
considerable damage was done.
Pittsburgh Streets Flooded
Five days of rain in the Pittsburgh
area sent the river on its rampage,
and early today the effect Of the
high water was felt al far west as
Louisville. Several streets were in
undated on the north side Of Pitts
burgh and factories in the suburbs
were forced to suspend operations.
Marietta and Pomeroy were the
two towns hardest hit In Ohio. At
the former TOO houses were under
four feet Of water. Business in Pom
croy was suspended when water in
vaded part of the business district,
but residences, most Of which are on
hilly ground. were believed ii no
danger. Factories suspended opera
tions at Steubenville, Ohio, while sew
e,al ncighboring villages, both In
Ohio and West Virginia, were flood
cd, with many persons homeless. One
death was reported at East Liverpool.
where boy was last seen adrift In
a canoe.
At Cincinnati, railroad officials
were preparing to abandon the CEN
trail union station. The government
steamer Coldcnrod, valued at e20, 900.
broke loose at Middleport. struck :
bridge and sank.
: People Prepare 70 Move
Residents Of the Louisville water
front also were preparing to move
after watching the Ohio creep to
their doorsteps.
Residents Of New Albany and JET
fersonville, Ind, lowlands moved
their household effects to higher
ground. The crest in the Kentucky.
Indiana area was expected Tuesday.
West Virginia cities and towns
along the Ohio from Wheeling almost
to Huntington were partly under wa
ter. Part Of the downtown section Of
Parkersburg was submerged and the
city virtually; was cut Oft from travel.
