ui. U
I'olumbtM. U., Jan. U. A girl mur
1cr mystery, the circumstances sur
rounding which compare in many re-
peels with the case of Mazic Col
l ort. Philadelphia jjiodel, puzzled the
local police tonight.
Mona Simon. 25, said to be a mtni- f
tier -jf a prominent family of Grafton,!
Va.,-Js the murder victim. Itcri
body was found in a room -of the
leading hotel of Columbus today.
The police are looking for., a man
-aid to have been employed until re
cently in a brokerage .office in Kan--s
City as the alleged murderer.
Thus far the police have been unable
lo learn the motive for the crime.
Cleans Bloody Hands.
A maid opened the door to the
room early today but did mit enter
when she saw a body on the floor,
explaining later that she thought the
person on the floor was sleeping
theVc.
- When the housekeeper at the hotel
investigated this afternoon she found
the girl's body, a gash in her neck
and a bullet wound in the back of
her head. Towels found in the bath
adjoining the room were marked with
blood, indicating that the murderer
had cleaned his hands before leaving.
The rooms of the hotel are sound
proof and not even the occupant of
an adjoining suite heard the shot.
Registered as Van Brunt. '
The man who occupied the room
had registered as "Tj. V. Van Brunt
of ChitagOi" but a local sporting
writer told the police tonight he
knew the man who occupied the room
in which the girl was found and that
t he had told him he had assumed the
name "V'atn Brunt" because of a "gifl
scrape" he had in Kansas City. The
sport writer said "Van Brunt" talked
to Joe Tinker of Chicago, new owner
of the Columbus base ball club, when
the latter was here Wednesday, bout
getting a job.
"Van Brunt" is said to have a
divorced wife in Huntington, Ind. He
left the hotel "without paying his bill
and took the room key with him.
"What Profiteth a
Nation to Save Its
Skin and Lose Soul?"
N'ew York, Jan. 1J. Unless the
present problems confronting the
United States, are settled soon and
riehtlv. the nation "must mourn in
. sack cloth and ashes" for its folly and
heedlessness, declared Lindley M.
Garrison, former secretary of war, in
"an address tonight before the "New
York State Bar association
"In that day the execration heaped
upon those who led the nation astray,"
he asserted, "will differ in degree only
from that heaped upon those who saw
tire light and knew the way, but had
hearts too faint to lead on the proper
wttv
Mr. Garrison declared that the coun
try's foreign relations must be kept
. above party consideration and con
sonant with national traditions. The
energies of the wisest and best lead
ers .the nation can produce will be
taxed, he said, to determine the part
the United States should play in world
politics.
"To avoid unnecessary conflict this
nation should do all consistent with
self-respect to avoid war," he con
tinued. "I will waste no time discuss
' ing avoidance of war by supine sur
render of our self-respect or by re
fusal to defend and maintain the na
tion's interests against the nation's
enemies for what profiteth a nation
to save its skin if it lose its soul?"
