This conversation Is said to have taken
pace nearly a month ago. 1t is the
iirst tangible clue that the authorities
nave Obtat' ed so FAR. Needham, II is
learned, had been living in and around
Washington for several years. During
the last few months before his disap-
pearenCe from the home Of DR.. James
q. Blandford he had managed TO exc
out an existence by playing the plano
at resorts and road houses in the VII
cinity Of An@costia.
Known as Roscoe"
He made friends easily. and had but
little JroEbIe in securing work at these
resorts. He would only remain at one
place for a few days. To the persons
who frequented these resorts he was
known simply as Roscoe Nobody
thought OF calling him anything else.
and no one made inquiry as to his other
name or his pas history.
Leaving the home OF Dr. EiandfOrd on
december % to come TO Washington for
three days. nothing was heard of Need
ham until his body was found Sunday.
Il was discovered IN a clump OF trees
I'm dense part of the woods, and the
condition OF the clothing indicated that
he had been dragged some distance
through the woods.
The body was examined yesterday by
DF- John SansbUry, Of Forces tvllles and
DR.. John l.. Ryan of Surratsville. The
stated that they did not be-
heve the mans skull had been frac-
tured, as was at first thought. The
theory OF which the authorities are
working is that Needham was attacked
while walking along the road, and his
body thrown into the woods.
A dispatch from Lowell Mass states
that James W. Needham, of 249 East
Merrlmack street. believes the body 20
be that of his brother. who left Lowell
several years ago for the South.

Demonstrations AIarming.

Both governments viewed with some
uneasfress the demonstration at Canton
against the japanese and the III feeling
expressed AZ the submission Of the Chi
nese government TO the japanese terms.
Mr. HUI will undoubtedly have a big
task on his hands cOnciHatng his peo-
pie and stopping the spread OF a grow

Mr. EIu served ia Washington under
the administration OF Minister Yang
Yu who was succeeded by Minister WI
on his first mission to this country.
From Washington Mr.. HUI was prOmot-
ed to be secretary of the legation at
St. Petersburg, and from there 10 his
present position in the foreign office.
These changes are looked upon in
Washington diplomatic circles as a most
important step in the future relations
between China and Japan and IL is
believed by the authorities here that
the shaping OF the future course OF
the two countries depends largely upon
the outcome.
The changes will be made within the

Shrouding the case IN a deeper mys-
terry than ever, It was learned today
that the remains Of a man supposed
to be Charles Needham, whose decom-
posed body was found last Sunday in
Roberts woods. near Camp Springs,
Md. were buried at oxen Hin. Nd
about two weeks ago. Inquiry in the
little towns in Prince George county
Givulges the fact that the travelling mu-
stefan was well known among the resi-
dents of that section CT the state. and
his disappearance on December y
caused considerable comment.
After celebrating for several hours
last evening. the coroner's jury rem
dered a verdict that Needham came TO
his death through some unknown cause.
All OF the talesmen freely expressed the
opinion, however, that Needham had
been the victim OF foul play. but as
there was no testimony to definitely
show this. the jury rendered a verdict
in accordance with the evidence.
50 many puzzling circumstances have
developed since the body was discov-
cred in a lonely clump Of woods by
Charles and Wallace Sims, two colored
boys, that the case Is regarded as one
Of the most mysterious that the county
