MURDER SUSPECTED
BODY OF COLORED WOMAN
FOUND NEAR BERWYN.

Inspector Boardman received a message
this afternoon stating that the body Of
colored woman had been found on the prop
erty of the Rev DR.. Parker, near Berwyn.
Md. John T. Burch, justice of the peace
for that particular district of Prince George
county, gave the information to the police
official He told the inspector that the body
was almost nude, and that 1t had evident
ly been in the woods for several days, buzz
yards having eaten away part Of the flesh.
The body the magistrate stated Is that
of woman between forty and fifty years
of age. She had dark brown skin, weighed
about 40 pounds anu had gray hair A
thin undergarment and stockings were the
only articles of wearing apparel found on
the body
1t Is stated that a careful examination
has not yet been made but nothing has vet
been discovered to show that the woman
was murdered. Inspector Boardman thinks
the circumstances indicate that a murder
has been committed. The body, 1t is stated
was found late yesterday afternoon by two
boys who were hunting SQUIRRELS
Magistrate Burch stated this afternoon
that some residents of the county have an
idea that the body Is that of a woman who
recently sold a piece of property to the
railroad company and received 81, 800. He is
making an investigation in this CITY this
afternoon to ascertain something about the
woman who figured in the DEAL and hopes
he will be able to learn something that
will lead to the Identification Of the body.
Inquest Held.
Magistrate Burch. acting as coroner,
started an inquest over the body this morn
ing, but In the absence Of definite proof
in the case he adjourned the hearing until
tomorrow. 1t is said TO have been Mrs
Jane Arnold who received the money from
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for her
property The magistrate Is in commune
cation with her friends. and hopes he will
be able to learn something definite about
her before the hearing is resumed
1t was suggested this afternoon that the
woman may have been murdered at some
place other than in the country, possibly
in this city, and her body taken to the
woods and disposed Of.
Detective Warren was detailed to assist
in the investigation Of the case in this city.
He learned that woman named Jane Ar
mold lived IN this city, and he is endeavor-
ing to ascertain II she Is the one who had

Japanese Cadet Resigns.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS Md. October 2S-Midship-
man Asahi Kitagald, the only representa-
tive OF Japan in the United States Naval
Academy, has resigned. In this course he
acted under order from the japanese gov
eminent, transmitted through its embassy
in this country. It Is thought to be sig
nifcant that Kitagaki's action comes COIN
cidentally with the strained feeling said to
exist toward this country in JapZn. This
Is particularly noticeable as Kitagaki has
returned from an extended leave during
which he visited Japan within the last few
weeks. and had every intention of COM
pleting his course. He has been a mid
shipman a little over one year.
Inquiry at the Navy Department brought
out the statement that the sole reason for
the resignation Of the Japanese Midship-
man Kitigah from the Naval Academy at
Annapolis was a deficiency in studies This
fact was first reported by the superintend-
emit Of the academy to the department.
which In turn communicated it to the Japa-
nese embassy with the result that the
young man was requested to tender his
resignation. AS an act was passed at the
further entry Of foreigners at the academy
there can. Of course. be no other japanese
cadet admitted in the place Of Kitigaki.
