ROBBERY THEORY UPSET
BY FINDING OF GOLD RING
Discovered Near Place Where
Turner's Body Lay.
Police Now Believe Dead Man Committed
Suicide-Ring to Be Sent to
Widow Today.

The Maryland authorities have substan-
| tial proof now to show that Lewis Tur-
ner. whose body was found on Pyles' farm
which is seven miles beyond Anacostia,
was not robbed, even If he was murdered.
Yesterday afternoon Captain Beardn,ln n
received letter from Constable Suit, of
Prince George County, asking for the ad-
dress of the dead mans widow, who lives
in this city. The letter further stated
that the Maryland authorities had been
investigating the affair since the body
was identified, and that several new clews
had presented themselves.
Yesterday the constable found gold
ring near the place where the body was
found. This ring belonged oELevis Tur-
ner, the dead man. Owing to the fact that
this ring was net upon the mans finger at
the time the body was found. lit was at
once concluded that the man had been
murdered and robbed by thugs.
The finding of the ring does sgay COM
pletely with the theory that the man wss
robbed for what money and jewelry he
had UPON him, and afterward killed. The
finding of the ring strengthens the theory
that the man was despondent and bought
the revolver and went to the woods and
killed himself
The address of Turner's widow was sent
TO the constable. and he will send the
jewelry and trinkets to her today. The
police believe that the ring was upon the
mans hand when he died, but when buzz
yards or crows picked the flesh from the
fingers IL dropped off and rolled in the
grass, where it was found yesterday.

CHARGES AGAINST .
FIREMAN WITHDRAWN
Senator Money Notifies Chi df\ Dutton
That He Will Not Press
Charges. r.

Senator H. D. Money has notified Chief
Engineer Duttcn, CT the FIRE deStrtment
that he does net desire to press the
charges against Foreman J. E. Hodper, of
Truck Company 4. 1t will be recalled
that Senator Money some time ago charged
Foreman Hooper with assaulting him while
on street car and demanded his re-
moval from the department.
Chief Dutton has forwarded all the
papers in the case to the District Com
mssioners with the following report:
'In the matter OF Foreman ]. E. Hoop
er. of Truck Company \. CT this depart
ment, charged by United States Senator
II. d. Money with assaulting him April
"a, 1902, have the honor to state that
Senator Money called upon me this morn
ing and informed me that he does not care
to prosecute the case. ! therefore re-
spectfully recommend that the charges be
dismissed for want CT prosecution.
Upon being assigned by your honora-
BILE board to conduct this case, at once
so notified Senator Money, requesting him
to let me know when he would be able to
appear. and also requesting him to fur
nish the department with list of wit
nesses he desired summoned. The follow
ing day the Senator's son wrote ne that
his father was i'll and was. therefore. un-
able to state when he would be able to
appear against Foreman Hooper. l heard
nothing more from the Senator until this
morning when he called to inform me
that he does not care to prosecute the
case"
The Commissioners have approved the
recommendations of Chief Dutton that
the charges against Foreman Hooper be
dismissed.

TO RENEW TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
Austro- Hungarian Minister Of Foreign
Affairs Makes His Report.

BUDAPEST, May t. Count Goluchow-
ski. Austro- Hungarian minister OF for
eign affairs. made his annual statement
before the budget committee today.
He said that the triple alliance, which
expires in May. 1903. is now approaching
renewal, the three cabinets concerned
having exchanged formal assurances Of
firm intention to uphold the treaty in its
full value and to proceed in due course
to sign the necessary instruments.
This league, Count Goluchowski added,
was founded on mutually coinciding in
terests, and was free from aggressive ten
dency 1t would continue to pursue its
sublime pacific aims, and with greater
confidence since the repeated declarations
regarding the peaceful objects of the
dual alliance confronting it show that the
latter combination is a valuable compile
ment of the triple alliance, promoting the
same ends.
The minister then drew an analogy be-
tween these alliances and the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance.
