Chemicals Used
to Keep Body of
Student Hidden
President of University Called
as Witness in Investigation
of Death of I .eigh
ton Mount.
By International >tm Service.
<'hicago. May 2.—President Walter
Dill Scott of Northwestern university,
members of the 1921 sophomore corn
freshmen tlaHses and former com
panion of Heighten Mount, will be
called in the inquest into the death
of the unfortunate youth whose body,
weighted with debris, was found Mon
day night under a pier at Evanston.
Indications are Mount was slain by
n group of sophomores who were haz
ing freshmen, of whom Mount was
one, when he vanished in Septem
ber. 1921.
‘ I have been told the president of
tlie university is not interested in this
investigation,” said Coroner Wolff in
announcing the names of witnesses.
"He wiU be today. Ho is a witness.”
Much importance is being attached
to discovery of a knife found in the
'cairn from which the body was taken.
Efforts will be made to identify it.
From the police at Evanston came
the startling disclosure today that
chemicals had been used on the body
in an effort to hasten decomposition
before t" should be found and thus
make identification Impossible. There
w-as no odor in the neighborhood dur
ing the many months the body lay
under tha pier. *•
It was generally accepted today that
young Mount was a victim of drown
ing. Ducking freshmen in the lake
was a favorite method of torture
miiong sophomores who were hazing
freshmen at the time, according to
students.

loans of 5,000.000,000 marks each the
note proposes that In ease these
amounts cannot be raised fully by
issues of bonds at normal rates be
fore the dates fixed an impartial in
ternational commission shall decide
whether, when and how the amount
not yet accounted for is to be raised.
The same committee would decide
in July, 1931, whether, when and how
after July 1, 1923, the Interest not pro
vided for in the first instance is subse
quently to be raised.
As to the makeup of this com
mission Germany proposes tiiat either
tlie syndicate which puts up the first
loan of 20,000,000,000 gold marks or
a committee of international business
men bo chosen according to the sug
gestions of Secretary of State Hughes,
a committee on which Germany Is to
be represented with rights equal to
those of other nations.
As the third alternative the note
proposes a court of arbitration com
posed of a representative of the rep
arations commission and a representa
tive of the German government to
gether with a chairman whom the
president of the United States would
be requested to nominate in case the
other two failed to agree as to the
nomination.
For American Participation.
The note stresses the difficulty at
arriving at a tangible basis for com
puting Germany's economic and fi
nancial capacity In her present situa
tion and it declares every solution
must be sufficiently clastic to take
this condition into consideration.
It should be further noted, says the
document, that German owing to the
lack of surplus profits from her own
products will in the near future oe
unable to raise any large amounts of
capital from her own resources, and
that consequently she needs foreign
loans which, however, can ofily be ob
tained when German credit is re
stored.
The note contains recurring sugges
tions that American recommendations
in respect to the adjustment of repa
rations lie adopted.
Aeference is also made to the Bryan
agreements in connectiion with the
so-called securities demand by France.
The outstanding bid for American
participation in the reparations issue
is based on the position that the presi
dent of the United States name the i
third member of the financial com
mission which would decide the man
ner in which the sums lacking to
make up the full amount of Ger
many’s offer after the first loan be
raised.
