EFFORT MADE
TO IDENTIFY
IT BY TEETH
Authorities Believe It May Be
That Of knope, Miss Doran'
Navigator
IN WATER MANY MONTHS
Flesh From Arms and Legs
Fallen Away or Devoured
by Deep Sea Fish

Ventura, CAL, Feb. 17.-R-
Brought up by the tide and current
from Davy Jones' locker, the body
Of what once was Z well built, ath.
letic man Of 80 was being held by
authorities here today in an attempt
to learn whether it was one Of the
long missing Dole flyers.
The body, which obviously had
been in the salt water for several
months, had but one outward iden-
tifying mark black taffeta
neckerchief like those worn BY
American sailors. First guesses
were that it might be the body Of
Lieut.. Villas r. knope, U. s., navi-
gator Of the ill-fated Dole flight
plane "Miss Doran."
Knope, the navigator Of the "Miss
Doran," was the only navigator
among the seven persons who were
lost at sea last August while At
tempting flights to Hawaii. With
Knope were Miss Mildred Doran,
Michigan school teacher, and her
pilot, John Augie Pedlar.
Body Found Yesterday
The body was found on the beach
yesterday at Hueneme, Cal. lnves.
tigators declared that It tailed in
general way with the description
of the missing naval aviator.
The condition Of the body indi-
Gated that it had been subjected to
the ravages Of the sea for many
months. Flesh from the arms and
legs had fallen away or been de.
voured by deep sea fish.
Officers pointed out that the
japanese current in the Pacific
ocean swings down this coast and
that the body could have been car
ried i. by the current from mid
ocean.
A chart from Knope's dentist, in
San Diego. is being sought for
checking the teeth Of the body. ....,,

MILL PROFITS
TO BE. USED IN
PAYING DEBTS
Industrial Commission Decides
to Pay $4,000 Note
Rest on Interest

Decision tp a(ltlys ths Operating
profit Of 1000, reported 1t the
state mill and elevator for 1927, up
on the Indebtedness Of the institu-
ton was announced by members Of
the state Industrial commission to-
day.
When the special session of the
legislature failed: to act upon Cover.
nor Sorlie's suggestion that the
money be turned over to the state
treasurer, he was left with q check
for $4,000 on his hands. He had
displayed the check to the legislature
when his request that it be used to
pay interest on the mill bonds was
presented.
When the executive presented the
matter to the industrial commission
today it was decided to pay So, 900
to the Bank of North Dakota to re-
tire note which has been held by
the bank since the mill was con.
structed. The money was advanced
by the hank to complete payment OF
the cost Of the mill over and above
the proceeds Of bonds which had been
sold for that purpose.
The remainder Of the money, II
was decided, will be turned over to
the state treasurer with instructions
to use it in helping to pay interest
on the mill operating bonds. The eft.
feet Of this action will be to reduce
the tax levy which will be made FOR
this purpose.
The state, however. must raise by
taxation $3.50, 900 needed to retire
the first installment Of the bonds
when they become due and payable
on July !, 1928.

Plans to hold district music con-
tests early in April are being made

university here. A Judge will be

The department is particularly in

director, to bring the standard of
performance in vocal work to the
same high plane which already has
been established for instrumental
music. Entries in the massed chorus
contests are being encouraged, Yoder
said.
For the purpose Of conducting
preliminary contests, the state has
been divided into eight districts on
the same basis as the state high

Committee Is Still Debating
Definition of National

tion of DIR. Honorio Pueypredon,
head Of the Argentine delegation,
proved barrier today to attempts
of the subcommittee on public in-
ternational law to reconcile differ.
cnccs as the Pan-Amcrican congress
nearcd its close. The committee is
debating a definition of national in.
dependence which involves discus.
sion Of the right Of Intervention.
Before the convention began ita
labors last night, the resignation Of
DR.. Pueyprcdon as Ambassador to
the United States and leader Of the
Argentine delegation was an.
nounced. When the committee met
it VAS found impossible to agree on
the final procedure and the task was
made moro difficult by the absence
Of DR.. Pueypredon. The Argentine,
with Gustavo Guerrero, Salvador,
had upheld the doctrine of absolute
prohibition of intervention by one
state in the internal affairs Of an.
other.

Losing no time in the discussion
Of the Pacific settlement Of interna-
tional disputes, the subcommittee
named to consider that subject was
summoned to meet today. Before
it was the question of modifying
the report presented by Ricardo
Alfaro of Panama along the lines
suggested in the debate in which
Charles Evans Hughes of the Unit
ed States played a prominent part.
Mr.. Hughes fully supported a
resolution introduced by Fernando
Gonzalez Roa Of Mexico which de-
clared all aggressive war illegal
and provided international disputes
should be settled by pacific means.
Mr.. Hughes suggested the estab-
lishment Of joint international COM
missions patterned on ,nc lines of
the Americana Canadian boundary
commission, by conclusion of pecun-
iary claims conventions, and by es-
tablishing firmly the principle Of
arbitration. This would be subject
only to the limitation which sover-
eighty Of countries required.
Periodical Meetings Urged
As means to the pacific settle.
ment of disputes, he urged periodi-
cal conferences for candid ex-
change Of views on controversial
subjects, measures of conciliation
and judicial settlement.
The means of pacific settlement
Of disputes is regarded as q subject
too far reaching for conclusion by
the present conference which ends
Monday. It is hoped, however, that
a skeleton plan may be outlined and
thus the 1abors Of some future con-
ference on the matter facilitated.

S0RLIE FEELS
PARTY TICKET
WILL BE WINNER
Governor Says He Will Be
Glad to Get Back to Busi-
ness and Private Life

Confidence that the Nonpartisan
state convention. held here last week,
will win the next state election and
satisfaction at the selection Of candi-
dates made by the convention was
expressed here today by Governor
A. G. Sorlie.
ut is q ticket which will 60 out
to the people and make real CAM
paign and a ticket which will win"
the executive said. II feel that the
men selected by the convention will
carry forward the policies which !
have inauguarated and be of real
benefit to the state"
The governor said his attitude in
not taking part in the convention
proved that he was sincere in his
statement, made several months ago,
that he was not seeking any office.
"Some people could not understand
it." he said. "They could not see why
anyone would willingly retire. Some
thought l was looking for another
office simply because they could not
get It through their heads that !
wanted to retire to private life."
Glad to Retire -.
The governor said that he will be
glad T. assume once more the role
Of . private citizen and get back to
his business and the carefree life
which = private citizen enjoys in
comparison with the holder Of the
governors chair.
The executive said he feels that he
has given his full share Of time to
the states business and the election
Of the Nonpartisan ticket would
place the administration Of the state
"in competent hands"
The statement by Governor Sorlie
is expected to set at rest persistent
rumors which have been noted in
capitol political circles in which he
was touted as . possible opponent
Of Senator Lynn j. Frazier, also, q
Nonpartisan, for the Republican
senatorial nomination. It also made
It clear that Governor Sorlie feels
that the Nonpartisan convention was
controlled by members Of the Non.
partisan League who were friendly
to him.
