FOUND IN THE RIVER
Body Believed to Be That Of Charles
johnson.
Taken to the Georgetown Morgue-
His Property and the
Clothes Found.

This afternoon between 2 and 3 o'clock a
colored man named Isaac Barker found
the body of an unknown colored man in the
river about mile above the Aqueduct
bridge. The man was dressed in suit of
black clothes and had on a pair of button
CATERS. So far as the police know no man
answering this description mas been report
ed missing. The police were notified and
took the body TO the morgue In George
town.
The body is that of man between forty
ard forty-five years of age. heavily built
and dressed in g sack cheviot suit, with
frock coat.
The head Is massive, with well defined
features. The body is evidently that of a
fairly well-to-do colored man. A small
silver watch. which had stopped at 1882; a
signet ring on the left hand and a pair Of
cuff buttons were worn.
The deceased was evidently out bicycle
riding. as pair of clamps held mis- panta-
Icons in.
The police are inclined to believe that the
bicycle went overheard with the man.
though no one knows where he was
drowned.
Later the officers found letters in his
pockets which Indicate that his name was
street northwest. About three weeks ago
Barker. the man who found the body,
found a basket and a bottle on the shore
near where the body was found today.
that the writer had cast his body in the
dark waters of the Potomac, after having
drank the contents of the quart bottle,
which was marked Rye Whisky"
The note stated that the man had a
large family, wife and seven children.
who were without anything to cat, and
that he had been unable to support them.
Signed to this note was the name Andrew
Nelson. 202 AZ street. The condition Of the
body indicates that 1t has been in the Wa
ter about three weeks.
Charles Johnson was employed In looking
after the upper part Of the building at 10th
and F streets occupied as a real estate
office by Mr.. p. o. Hoffman. He has been
missing from there since Thursday, and
the employees of that Office state that un-
doubtedly the man found in the river was
the missing man.
He was variously known as''Shorty'' and
John Johnson johnson was a very val
liable employe, and was much liked for his
Industrious habits
He sed to drink. but stopped fifteen years
ago, telling his wife at that time II he ever
began again he would make way with him
self Last Friday he got drunk, and 1t SO
mortified him and prayed on his mind that
he undoubtedly carried out his original in
tention.
He left his money and office keys with
his wife Friday before leaving home. and
had evidently planned the deed carefully

Another Intended Victim Of the Do-

TRIED 10 DECOY MISS ASHLEY AWAY
She Detected His True Character
and Declined.
E. j. BALDWIN INTERESTED

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. May 13.-At.or-
ney Delmas has not reconsidered his de-
termination not to talk. Indeed. his de-
termination has become stronger since the
last message was received from his nen-
esis at London. If which she ASSERTS that
Detective Won Arnold was hired to bet-ay
her. -.~,,
Jeannine Won Turkheim is not the only
nemesis who believes Won Arnold base.
Lillian Ashley. who is playing the tragic
role Of avenging fate to F.. J. Baldwin, be-
lieves she had a lucky escape from being
taken out Of the United States at Baldwin's
behest.
She now AYERS. and in the averment Il
corroborated by her sister Emma, that
Won Arnold, as Baron Won Steinmetz, made
love to her at Los Angeles and attempted
to WOO her into forgetfulaess Of Baldwin's
millions and babe by glitter of distant
crown. She made Inquiries. The bogus
baron's estates and his pretenses melted
under the simple test of inspection. She
preferred her present lot. and instead Of
leaving for Steinmetz with Won Arnold
came to San Francisco and registered at
thereby an adaptability to circumstances
not unequal to Won Arnolds. Miss Ashley
hazards the opinion, solely In the hope Of
saving some other poor girl, that Won
Arnold and his employers are Villains.

Chicago.
'1n my opinion. speaking as an indi-
vfdual the next step should be to bring the
extension of the franchises before the
proper civic authorities, where. II they ap-
pear with clean hands. offering the munich
pality adequate compensation. the COM
panies will receive just treatment.
Chicago Is fair city. an honest city, a
generous city. Its people believe neither in
destruction nor confiscatton. Their desire
anchor and not to cast adrift We need the
assistance of outside capital to help de-
velop our Industries. and outside capital
will flow into our Golfers only upon the
guaranty of absolutely fair treatment. The
steadying of the values Of the traction
companies stocks will bring stability to
the value of all our local stocks and bonds.
Our fight has been mainly for the prin-
ciple of home rule. We have won the bat
tie. 1t now remains for US to serve our
ability to protect the interests Of the citi-
Zens of Chicago, and at the same time ac-
cord justice to the corporations"
