MURDER VICTIM
NOT IDENTIFIED
Man Is Found Friday Near Brook
Park Partially Burned and With
Bullet Holes i'm Head.

The body of an unidentified man
who apparently had been the victim
of a foul murder, was found Frida!
about three miles southwest of Brook
Park. The discovery was made by
j. Marquardt, who was working or
the road leading south from No. %
| being near the Pine Kanabec coun
| ties line road. He notified the count!
sheriff at Mora, who found that the
body was in Pine county and there.
upon notified the sheriff's office in
Pine City. Deputy Sheriff Fred Nor
strum took charge of the case with
County Coroner Frank p. Gettry anG
an investigation was made.
An examination showed that the
body was that of a man who haC
been shot through the head several
times and then an attempt made tC
burn the body. A leather jacket had
been wrapped about the mans head
and tied about his neck. One hand
was burned off so that it was pos
sible for officials to obtain finger
prints of one hand only after the
body had been thawed out The body
was brought to the Goodrich under
taking rooms at Pine City where eff
forts were made to obtain some evil
dence of Identification.
Murder Theory.
From all appearances. the man had
been murdered and it is believed by
authorities that the body had been
brought from some distance to this
spot where the murderers had at
tempted to destroy the corpse by fire
He was clothed in two understands
two pair of socks, and a grayish blue
flannel shirt. The man was about 4O
years of age, it is estimated, six feet
tall and had chestnut colored hair
A Canadian half dollar bearing the
date 1917" was found in one pocket
and also a book written in some for
eign language was found in small
suitcase beside the body. Later the
book was found to be written in the
Lithuanian language and was a book
of miscellaneous poems from Shake
speare and other authors. Edward
Brick of the State Bureau of Criminal
Apprehension was sent to Pine City
in an effort to work out identified
ton. Finger prints of the one hand
not burned were taken.
The possibility of the date on which
the body had been placed beside the
road being November 25, was given
credence by the report of August Han
son of Brook Park, that he had met
a large green sedan near the spot on
the evening of that date at about
II p. m. Mr.. Hanson observed that
the sedan bore a Wisconsin license
plate and soon after passing the car,
he noticed a fire burning beside the
road. Although seeing these, Mr.. Han
son gave little thought to the matter,
until the report of the finding of the
body came to his attention.
Efforts to identify the body will
continue by state and county author
tiles as it is plainly evident that the
man, whoever he may be, was the
victim of an atrocious murder.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

A prOnunciamentO of wide interna-
tional Importance was President
ROOsevelt's address before the Wood
row Wilson Foundation in Washing
ton a few evenings ago, for he de-
clared emphatically against armed
aggression in any form, specifically
against the armed intervention of one
nation in other countries. This is
generally cons idered reputation of
the attitude of preceding American
administrations which have not hest
tated to employ the armed forces of
the United States in enforcing GER
tain claims in smaller Latin-Amer-
lean lands,
The president also spoke strongly
in favor of combining ornaments mali
ufacture to defensive arms, to the eX-
clusion of arms of offensive warfare,
and invited international control of
such manufacture. Likewise, he had
good word for the League of Ma
tiOns, but hurried on to say that the
United States is not contemplating
joining that world organization.
Interpretation.
In European, South and Central
American countries the words of the
president of the United States were
very favorably received. Concerning
the question of intervention it has,
however, been pointed out that the
president failed to commit this coun-
try to a policy of abstaining abso-
lutely and literally; as a general rule
American Intervention has taken
place not under that name, but in the
form of protection of American in
terests." Assuming that big bankers
and politicians again in the future
insist on such protection" there
seems to be in the presidents state
ment nothing that must needs prevent
it. Intervention" and protection"
are, in this connection, one and the
same thing. So, closely analysed. the
statement does not mean quite as
much as hasty examination leads
one to believe.
AS regards the manufacture of
ornaments, the president merely fol-
lowed up a theory which he has for
merly outlined, and which, partly at
his suggestion, has been discussed
by the international disarmament
conference at Geneva. 1t is beau
tiful theory the matter with
it, at all, except this: How is the
difference between defensive and Of
fensive ornaments to be defined? Is
there on record any. generally ac-
copied distinction between the two?
Apparently not. AS long as this diff
ferentiation has not been made, the
proposal rests on no very firm foun-
dation, for there is not now anywhere

a drive against hitch-hiking and a

To relieve distress, thousands of
small coupon booklets are being dis

men, the booklets containing referral
tickets which the transient may bring
to the local registration bureau and
receive such aid and service as
needed. Every resident of the state
is asked to cooperate in this cam

giving cash or food, in an effort to
aid the needy transient and eliminate
the perpetual beggar.

CHATTERTON IS IN NEW ROLE AS
 LILLY TURNER
Stately Star Plays Part of "Cooch" Dancer and
 Carnival Girl

Ruth Chatterton comes to the Capitol Theatre today in the most astounding characterization she has ever portrayed on the screen-in the title role of the First National picture Lilly Turner
 As Lily Turner, the "Cooch' dan cer and come-on girl for carni- val, she has in this picture more clandestine love affairs than most actresses portray in a lifetime. She fits from one love to another with wild abandon inspired by cruel mistreatment at the hands of her first lover. It is not until she final ly awakens to real love that ghosts of her many sweethearts rise up to haunt her.
 The picture, based on the stage success by Phillip Cunning and George Abbott, reveals the life be- hind the scenes of the players in the twdry medicine tent shows and the glamorous carnivals. Gone is the stately Miss Chatterton, of the society drawing room: In Lilly Turner" is Chatterton, cooch danc-l CT who wiggles her hips and jig gles her chest muscles to fascinate and lure the male; the poseur in pink tights and flimsy, transparent costumes.
 Never, it is said, has she given such a powerful characterization as that of Lilly Turner, the girl who flaunts her charms to devastate the heart of the male; whose life is one of butterfly gaiety on the surface and bitter heartaches be- meath.
 Lilly Turner" is a vivid, realistic story with frivolity and pathos and real dramatic power. George Brent plays the leading masculine role opposite Miss Chatterton, the first time the two have been teamed to- gether since their marriage last Fan. Others in the cast include Frank McHugh, Ruth Donnelly and Guy Kibbe.
 The direction was in the hands of William A. Wellman who direct ed Miss Chatterton in Frisco Jen- n.y."

 FILM THEME.
The Match King Based on Fraud of Financial
 Genius at Coliseum

Four beautiful actresses are cast as the victims of a financial gen. jus in First Nationals most remark able romance, The Match King" which is playing at the Coliseum Theatre They are Lili Damita Glenda Farrell, Juliette Compton and Claire Dodd
 They are all held in mesmeric fascination by the personal charm and magnetism of colossal schem- CT, a part played by Warren Will liam, and are eventually sacrificed to his ambition
 This remarkable story is taken from the novel of Einar Thorvald- son. The story is so astounding that it outdoes the widest fiction, and would not be credited if the blaz- ing newspaper headlines that had suggested the story hadn't already established the authenticity of the details.
 Warren Williams role is that of a man absolutely interruptions and ruthless with women. He makes love first himself and then, by some strange hypnotic power, fore es them to entangle men of politi- cal power for his own ends and to their ruin. In his ambition to con- trol the world, he does not hesitate to use women of every class, wom- en from the lower walks of life, beautiful actresses and society women.
 Others in an unusually strong cast include Harold Huber, Spen- cer Charters, John Wray, Murray Kinnell, Hardie Albright and Alan Hale. The story was adapted by Houston Branch and Sidney Suth- erland, and directed by Howard Bretherton
