Skeleton of 7 I College Bov Is Uncovered Northwestern U. Student Miss ing Since Rough Hazing Spree in September, 1921 —Probe Begun. fly International New* Service. Chicago. May 1.—Effort* to sub slantiate the theory of Evanston po lice that Leighton Mount, young I Northwestern university student, was murdered during a /'lass rush at the school in September, 19? 1, was run-; tinned with a grim earnestness today following the discovery of Mount's body hurled under half a ton of rocks and debris heneatli a pier near the university campus. Identification of the body, which had been reduced al most to a skeleton, was made by the youth's mother, who recognized a belt hurkle. She lias maintained since the day of her son’s disappearance that he , was slain by sophomores and that his body eventually would be found. The discovery of the body followed with dramatic suddenness the tragic death of Louis Aubers, who lost his life last week when an automobile containing a group of Northwestern frcsiimen, which was being chased by a car full of sophomores, was over turned In a collision. Aubere, like 1 Mount, was a freshman. The theory of police at Evanston I today was that Mount was accident- | shy killed during a particularly rough i hazing at the hands of sophomores, who, frightened, carried the body to | the pier and concealed it. It was re- i called that on the same’night Mount disappeared several other students ! were so hadlv mistreated they barely i escaped with their lives. One of these | freshmen was tied to a breakwater \ in X,ake Michigan and almost | drow’ned. Some others were tied to gether w ith a rope and oast Into shal- j low water, where they almost stran gled before they could free themselves. Others were left over night in t{ie for- 1 e’»f preserve tied to trees! University officials today expressed i the belief that young Mount had com- | milted suicide, pointing to a letter he lead written a young woman before his disappearance. Members of the , junior class, who were sophomores j when Mount vanished, were to he sub jected to a rigid examination today.

A woman went into a depart ment store to match r difficult color of crepe romaine. Though the store did not have that shade on hand, the clerk was clever and told her that he woul.1 send to the mills for just what she wanted. But, he knew that the mills could not afford to make a spe cially of odd shades, so he bought some white material and sent it to a master dyer. The lady never knew the difference when she bought the goods a few days later. To achieve a result like that, the dyer must be a master of his trade like the expert at Dre.her Brother., 2211-2213-2215-2217 Farnam street. Daily.

Shopmen Drop Injunction Fight Attorney Declares Union Sat isfied With Situation as Right to Strike Recognized. By Aftaorletyil rrww. Chicago, May 1 —The lesders of the strike of railroad shopmen today abandoned thefr case in defense against the federal injunction ob tained by Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty last September, and an nounced that their principle conten tions in the case had been upheld. The announcement by counsel foz^the defendants coming 24 hours in ad vance of the hearing of the govern ment's application for a permanent injunction, caused Blackburn Ester- i lln, assistant solicitor general of the United States, to interpret the ac tion of the defense as amounting to a default. After announcing that" all attorneys for the defense had withdrawn at the 1 reqoest of the officials of the railway employes’ department of the Amer- j 1 lean Federation of T^abor, Donald R. Richberg, of the defense counsel, ex plained that the shopmen were satis fied with the situation and that ths government could find such satisfac tion which they could, and do aa they | wished with the case. He made pub ! lie a letter addressed to himself, Frank Jj. Mulholland, of Toledo, O., and James Easby-Smlth of Washing ton, the letter for the defense from B. M. Jewell, president of the rail way employes' department, and the other leaders, explaining their view of the case. The suit, the letter declared. In volved th» right to strike. The gov- | ernment had called the strike a con* i spiracy and its primary purpose was to seek to establish that a concerted refusal to accept wages and working conditions as fixed by the railroad la bor board was unlawful, In this con nection the shopmen's leaders re ferred to supreme, court decision in the case of the Pennsylvania railroad against the labor board In which the court held that it was not compulsory to abide by the board's decision, al though holding that there was a moral constraint to do so. Struggle Between Leaders in Oil Seen in Wall Street New York. N. Y., May 1—A strug gle for domination between opposing elements In the petroleum Industry is seen by Wall street, the New York World says today, with the Standard ! Oil interests and a few other big refineries aligned against independent ‘ companies operating chiefly in the mid continent field. The total fi j nancing of the Standard Oil group is ! given at *592.000,000 by the paper and ' that of the Independents at *489.200,- j | 000. I The offensive which was behind the general smash in prices on the New 'York Stock exchange yesterday, the I World says, has been seen by the I street for three weeks. The objective, I it is asserted, is the wrecking of the ! independents and the eventual control j of the mid-continent field by the j Standard Oil interests and their allies. "Recently gasoline prices have been j subject to several cuts, always in | itiated by Standard Oil companies i and followed by the independents.'' the article says. “The cuts appear j purely artificial to Wall street, for | the reason thar, while consumption was increased enormously this year, ! Mexican production has continued to I slump and the total supply of gaso i line available is relatively lower than last year. "For these reasons, it It said, the price reductions, both in gasoline and California crude oil, have been aimed | at the independents. ' _ Mine Pays Dividend. Spokane.

No decent, honorable, or far-sighted maker of face powder will use white lead, nor will he, if truly reputable, accuse others of its use. White lead is injurious and no manufacturer who used it could remain in business. Suggestion of white lead in face powder comes only from jealous minded makers or sales persons. Nobody ever writes, prints or publicly makes this suggestion. The charge, if and when made, is for the sole and only purpose of striking an unfair blow at a meri torious, widely sold article. Armand Cold Cream Powder contains no white lead. Neither do twenty-five other face powders which we have caused to be analysed by a chemist of unquestioned ability and in- * tegrity. Armand Face Powders contain no ingredi ent injurious to the skin, no matter what quantities of the powder may be applied. Armand welromcs any investigation of these statement*. The farts are published gladly for the benefit of the face powder industry, and to inspire confidence on the part of the women of the world, in this industry.
