CONFESSES HE SLEW GIRL IN SCHOOLROOM Suitor Said to Have Killed & Teacher for Spurning Marriage Offer. AUTHORITIES FEAR MOB WAUKON. lowa, Dec. 14.—Earl Throst confessed today that he murdered Miss Inga Magnuson, pretty 24-year-old school teacher. In her isolated country schoolhouse near Dorchester. ••I killed her because she turned me down,” Throst told Allamakee County authorities. Throst's confession came after six hours of grilling by the county authorities after his arrest late yesterday at l’ostville. Throst was a childhood friend of Miss Magnuson and the two had attended country school together. According to the confession, Throst went to the schoolhouse late Monday and asked Miss Magnuson to marry him. She refused and he beat her to death. Her body was found by her father who came to seek her when she did not return from school. Throst is being kept under close guard at the Jail here because of fears of a lynching when his confession becomes generally known. Farmers throughout the countryside are aroused. A. mob of 200 greeted him when he was brought to the jail last night, but no attempt at violence was offered. The prosecuting attorney announced a charge of first degree murder would be lodged against Throst. Northwestern lowa is deeply stirred by two murder mysteries within twenty-five miles of each other. Two men are held as suspects—one in each case. Earl Throst, 24, is under arre-t here for the murder of Miss Inga Magnuson, pretty 22-year-old school teacher, whose | body was found In her lonely schoolhouse near Dorchester. Throst was taken at Postville as he was about to board a train. Bloodhounds and deputies under direction of Miss Gunda Martindale. sheriff of Allamakee County, participated In a cross-country chase after Throst. The second murder mystery concerns the death of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Van Brockland on a farm twelve miles from Decorah. They were slain Sunday. Elmer Van Brockland. a brother of the slain young farmer, is under arrest. In the Magnuson murder case, the fact that the key to the schoolhouse where Miss Magnuson taught was found in j Throst's pocket; that he was riding a horse stolen from a farm near the scene of the murder, and that his coat was bloodstained, were convicting links in the chain of evidence against him. Nurse Shoots Negro; Claims Self-Defense DALLAS, Texas, Dec. 14. —Authorities after a careful investigation today said they believed no charge would be placed against Miss Jeanhenne Lamore. 26. who late yesterday shot and killed Has Cooksey, 40, negro janitor.

LESSER POWERS FLAUNT CLAIMS AT WASHINGTON Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By RAYMOND G. CARROLL. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—There are representatives of a dozen or more unrecognized nations of the world in Washington knocking at the door of the United States and Incidentally availing I themselves of the opportunity of the ari mament parley to flaunt and press their | claims. If these “unrecognized nations” would only club together, hire a fairi sized building In the heart of Washingi ton, call it say the Consolidated Em- ! bassy of Claimants, then they would 1 present a more get-at-able and formidable front than scattered all over the District of Columbia. What the representatives of the "unrecognized nations” desire Is to have the world map cut up some more, and one had to feel sorry for our kiddies In school who now learn the name of a country and how to pronounce it with its boundaries only to unlearn them a few months hence. The funniest thing about the Russian situation in Washington is that Jhe Russian embassy is occupied by one Boris Bakmetieff, a holdover from the time of the Kerensky government at Petrograd. Boris does not seem to mind in the least ! being without a country behind him, and lives on here entertaining and am- | bassadorlng. while the unrecognized soviet government of Lenin and Trotzky is represented in America by a New York lawyer. Charles Recht. About on the same practical parity as the Kerensky Russian delegation is the Korean commission, composed of Dr. Syngman Rhee, Philip Jaisohn and Henry Chung. Two other “unrecognized nations” that have been heard from at the State Department are the Caucasian twins Georgia, with a capital city at Tlflls, and Azehbaidjan, with a capital city at Elizabethol. Armenia enjoys “defacto recognition" whatever that may be, and is represented in Washington by G. I’asdermajian. Albania is still another country pleading for recognition by the United States of America. Then we have Ukrania installed In the Munsey building with Julius Batchlnsky as chief spokesman, Lithuania with Dr. Vladimar V. Czarneckis in charge. Latvia at the Congress Hall Hotel with Dr. Charles Seya doing Its talking. The South China government centering at Canton—this must not be confused j with the Pekin government—has offices In the Munsey building, which the socalled rekin government has a smart house on Massachusetts avenue.—Copyright, 1921. by Public Ledger Company.

CAPITAL SHIP CONTROVERSY PARLEYDELAY Modification of Program Rests With Hughes and Advisers. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—The capital ship controversy, the chief factor of delay In the armament conference, narrowed down today to the basic question of whether the Hughes naval program is to be accepted as originally laid down or whether it Is susceptible to slight modifications. The answer rests with Hughes and his advisers. There has been little progress in the last twenty-four hours. In private conversations between members of the big three —Hughes, Balfour and Kato—Japan has informed the United States and Great Britain that the 5-5-3 ratio is acceptable if she is allowed to retain the Mutsu. Despite the aversion of both the United States and Great Britain to modification of the original Hughes capital ship program, Japanese circles are confident that Baron Kato's arguments will prove effective and that the whole controversy will be settled by the end of the week with Japan retaining her prized warship, the United States retaining either the Washington or the Colorado and Great Britain given permission to comjilete one or two of her super-Hoods.

MORGAN SAYS WORD OF TRIAL DELAYSUNTRUE Prohibition Director Denies Reports of His Discouragement. Denial of the statement that he had become “discouraged because of delay In the trial of cases growing out of violations of the Volstead act” was made by Bert Morgan, prohibition director for Indiana. today. According to news dispatches from Washington, Congressman John S. Benham of the Fourth Congressional district had quoted Mr. Morgan to this effect before the House Judiciary Committee at a hearing on the bill to create another Federal Judicial district In Indiana. “I never made a statement of this kind,” Mr. Morgan said. “Asa matter

Eskimo Pie The HIT of the Season

of fact, this department has very few cases awaiting action by the Federal grand jury, as we have Teen handl'.ng the great majority of our cases in the State courts.” The move to create another Judicial district in Indiana is fostered, as have been all moves of this character in the past, by interests in northern Indiana. For many years this section of the State, particularly Lake County, has been anxious to get out from lender the hand of Judge Albert B. Anderson. There seems to be little reason for the creation of anew district, Federal Court officials say, other than the desire of politicians to get anew batch of patronage, and a dislike of Judge Anderson In certain sections of the State. Judge Anderson has no trouble in trying all the cases that come before him, despite the fact that for the last few years the bulk of business has been Increased enormously by a continuous string of liquor cases. Frederick Van Nuys, United States district attorney, says that Judge Anderson could handle three times as much business as now comes before him.
