Ex-Student Is Sought in Mount Death Former Northwestern U. Un* • dergraduate Declared to Have Returned to Room Worried After Class Rush. B.r International News Service. Chicago, May 4.—Following an all night questioning of a score of North western university students in the in quiry into the death of Leighton Mount, IS, freshman who disappeared during the class rush in September, 1921, and whose body was found Mon day under a pier at Evanston, the state's attorney's office today was 1 seeking Allen Mills, a former student, now reported to be in a California prison. A veiled accusation against Mills by j William McElwain, Ills former room mate, was the most tangible cluo that developed. McElwaiti declared that Mills returned to his rooms dripping wet on the night of the class fight and seemed worried. Asked About Mount. The news of Mount's disappear- j ance, according to McElwain, seemed to increase Mills’ distraction and he often asked about Mount. John Scott, son of President Walter Dill Scott, and Fred Scott, nephew of President Scott, were among the students who were questioned. Both declared they had only a very small part in the class skirmishes. One of the sensations of the in quiry was the calling of Axel Lon quest, rich contractor and recent father-fii-law of Fred Scott, who de clared when he sought the annulment of his daughter's marriage to young Scott that if he told what he knew 0t of the youth that it would create a sensation. Officers are also seeking Arthur Perslnger, another student victim of the class rush, who was reported to have been tied in a precarious posi tion to a lake pier, and hope to obtain valuable testimony from him. It de veloped today that Mount's body was literally burled "In the shadow of the cross." Rising above the pier where the body was found is a wooden cross—a symbol of hope and life—that had been erected there for a life preserver support, a grim joke on the part of those who buried the body. Forty more students have been sum moned for questioning at the state's attorney's office today, while at the1 same time Coroner Wolff'took up his Independent inq airy at Evanston. ---—• Cloudburst in Iowa Causes Heavy Damage Sioux City, May 4.—A cloudburst extending both north and south of Hmithland, la., yesterday afternoon flooded the Denison cutoff for 12 miles northward and much of the surrounding land, inflicting consider able damage to farm property and the highway in its unpaved stretch.

Norris told the i Kiwanis club at noon yesterday of his ! proposed reforms in the operation of state legislatures. The Nebraska senator urges the | abolishment of the present legislative system and the substitution of a sin gle legislative body which would de- ( vote its entire time to the state. "I would have a single legislaive ; body," expalined Senator Norris. "Its membership would'be consider-j ably less than the total of the two I present bodies and election should bp on a non-partisan basis. Legislators should be paid a fair salary and de vote all of their time to the state. "This system I believe would go I a long way in correcting existing leg islative evils. In the first place It 1 would take the legislature out of pol- , it ice; It would make possible business efficiency in legislation. This is a 1 reform I am vitally Interested in and , I hope tlie people of Nebraska will consider it seriously.” Senator Norris has l>een having some trouble with his eyes and he came to Omaha principally to have i them examined by a specialist. 20 Pawnee County Bridges Destroyed l*y Floods Special Pi-patch to The Omaha Hce.
