No Developments in Prince Georges
County Mystery.

Seated on the steps of the Prince Georges
county almshouse this morning. States At
torney Levin, Health Officer Griffith, DR..
Albert W. Evans and Detective Hartigan
discussed the case Of Lewis Turner whose
body was found in the woods on the farm
of Mr.. w d. Pyles, on the Silver Hill road
Saturday morning. The terribly decom-
posed body had been previously taken from
a grave on the hillside in the rear of the
almshouse.
Because of its terrible condition the ply
sicians were unable to add anything to the
report of the examination made at the
finding of the body.
After the case had been fully discussed
Health Officer Griffith said
There is considerable doubt and uncer-
tainty surrounding the case, but it looks to
me very much like case of murder. If
the man was murdered, | am strongly of
the opinion that the crime was not COM
mitted in the District of Columbia"
When the disinterment was made the
vest on the man showed cut made by the
incision of a knife over the right side of
the breast, while in the left side of the gar
merit were several burnt holes The states
attorney said he was not satisfied the man
had been murdered. Sheriff Hardisty was
not present nor did he have deputy at
the examination. Mrs. Turner had been
asked TO view the body, but was not pres
ent.
Mr.. Pyles called on Captain Boardman
yesterday and explained the finding of the
body and the circumstances of the case to
him, and this morning Detective Hartigan
the states attorney and a Star reporter
went down TO the scene and were met at
the alrnshouse by Health officer Griffith
and Dr. Evans

Mr.. Harding Signed Petition With

James II. Harding of 455 n street south

tition protesting against the school for
poor children at 456 N street southwest,
has written a further letter to the District
the matter saying:
"a strange gentleman came to my door
one Sunday night and asked me to sign the
original petition, the majority of resi-
dents had done. The object was to break
up the disorder on the streets at night on
the part Of children. Nothing was said of
the school across the street Of its being
nuisance I signed the petition without
reading it, as l did not think Of its being
misrepresented to me, 1t proved to be.
for others We're induced to sign 1t in the
same way, and at the time were perfectly
ignorant of its contents and purpose.
Il regret very much that my name has
been used in connection with this so-called
nuisance and rowdyism. 1 think those gen.
uemen who drew up the petition and who
are taxpayers on this street should have
had their names made public instead of
one who has lived here one year, and whose
name was among the last signed to the
petition.
II have called on the proprietor of the
house, and find him a very accomplished
school. and no one could have arranged
the different classes better or have amused
SO many little ones better at one time.

which was lately subdivided into large lots.
The building will occupy one of the choicest
sites In the subdivision. Mr.. Rande having
presented two lots for this purpose.
For several years past Episcopal mis-

Church of AnacOStia. who had charge OF
all the services. Sunday school was
formed there, and the interest in the pro-
ject of some day building a church at the
Heights was kept alive in different ways.
Notwithstanding all the means used to
collect sufficient funds with which to make
a start, the plan was far from conSumma-
tion until Mr. and Mrs. Rande came for
ward some months since with their unSo
licited offer. Mr.. Randle offered to present
two lots to the denomination, and Mrs.
Randle decided to donate the building in

gratefully accepted The building will be

DENY the Accusation.

Mrs. NJ. C. Rugg of 1909 H street north
east has written to the Commissioners al
leging that dumpman at Daish's mill, in
the northeast part Of the city, refuses to
allow the poor people to gather up junk and
refuse from the dumpings. She further
claims that said dumpman gathers up the
same himself and appropriates the pro-
ceeds from what he can sell. An inspector
of the street cleaning department has re-
ported that both dumpmen at Daishs mill
say they never have refused any poor per-
son the privilege of collecting junk and
refuse on the dump. Dozens of poor per-
sons are there every day for that purpose,
who collect and take away from the dump
whatever they choose. One of the dump
men says since he has been there he has
received but 80 cents outside of his regular
pay, and that was for old beer bottles The
other dumpman claims he has never sold
anything. Both have been instructed to
throw no obstacle in the way of any poor
person who may visit the dump with
proper motives

SUGGESTS WHIPPING POST.
Judges Comment on the Act of Wife
Beater

Judge Kimball of the Police Court yes
terday took occasion to express himself on
the necessity of establishing a whipping
post to be used for wife beaters. The re-
marks were made during the trial of George
Carter colored who was tried for having
made an alleged assault on his wife Estelle
while near the corner of 9Th and G streets
northwest.
The testimony was to the effect that Car
ter spent Tuesday night at his fathers
house and was on his way to work yester-
day morning when his wife met him and
wanted him to go home, and it was alleged
that he slapped her in the face. He claimed
that he only pushed her.
In disposing of the case the judge said
Every time a case like this comes before
me I'm sorry we haven't got a whipping
post for this kind of people. When
they are convicted and sent to Jail they
get rest and plenty to eat. and then the
wife suffers; but the whipping post is the
thing that would do the most good"
The court then imposed fine of $40 and
unless it is paid Carter will be deprived of
his liberty for one month.

Asks for Information.

The District Commissioners have received
letter from Prof s. P. Langley, secretary
of the Smithsonian Institution, asking GER
tain information for guidance In the loca-
tion of the new fence along the west side
Of the National Geological Park. Cathedral
avenue has recently been extended by the
Zoo and has somewhat altered the boun-
dary. Col. John Biddle, the Engineer Com
missioner. has suggested that the new fence
be located fifteen feet from the line of curb
on the avenue. This would leave twenty
feet of parking within the zoo inclosure.
There are no houses on that side of the
avenue and hence If the parking were not
included within the fence line there would
be no way of taking proper care of it.

Others go because of the wild west at
