that the pay for ocean mail service on
vessels of the second class on routes to
South America, to the Philippines, to Japan,
to china and to Australasia should here
after be the pay now accorded vessels of
the first class.
In addition the new bill provides for free
ships" American citizens are to be per-
mitted to purchase vessels in any country
they may choose and run them under the
American flag in the foreign trade or in
the trade with the Philippines.
The bill reduces the tonnage taxes on
vessels in trade with nearby countries and
increases the tax In the 'transoceanic trade.
In the former trade American vessels are
now well represented, while in the trans
oceanic trade foreign ships are found almost

WOMAN DEAD; MANS SOUGHT
Body Found in River Identified as
Society Woman.
LAST SEEN IN MOTOR BOAT
Suspect pisa ppeared After Receipt
of Letter Supposed 60 he
from the Dead
woman.

BALTIMORE. Nd, June 24-The body
Of the woman found yesterday in Back
river near St. Michaels. Md. has been
identified as that Of Mrs. Edith Nav
Thompson woodill. "a years old. Mrs.
woodill resided at Los Angeles, Cal, bU'
came cast with her husband last week 20
spend the summer at the home Of Captain
Charles II. Thompson, her foster father,
at Mcdaniel. Following the discovery and
Identification with indications pointing to
murder, States Attorney Turner today
sent out kilograms asking that a man, do
claring himself a newspaper man be ar
rested.
A dispatch from st. Michaels says that
a bloody sheet and a woman's garment,
believed to have belonged to Mrs. Woodrl
were found in the room Of the suspect,
who disappeared last night. The suspect
was a comparative stranger in Talbot
county. He went there last fall and bought
a farm near the Thompson place. He
described himself as a writer and news
paper correspondent.
Mrs. woodll had not been seen since
Sunday, when she was said TO AVE gone
out on Niles river in a motor boat with
the suspected man,
Mrs. woodrl was possessed Of rare
beauty and was well known socially in
Baltimore and on the Maryland eastern
shore. She numbered among her warmest
friends, former Secretary of the Treasury
Lyman T. Gage. Soon after her arrival
at her foster fathers farm at Mcdaniel,
the man now sought, John T. or Emil L..
Roberts was noticed to have been much
In her company. II appeared that the pair
had previously formed an acquaintance
and they we're seen together a great deal
in the few days before she disappeared.
Went Home with Roberts.
Last Saturday Mrs. Woodill went to
Easton and had some dental work done,
When she left Captain Thompson's she
said that Roberts would see her safely
home, as he was going in the same d.
rection.
1t develops that Roberts met her at
Royal Oak station with a horse and car
riage and the pair drove to st. Michaels,
where they embarked on Roberts launch.
Between that time and the discovery of
the body in the creek, there is mystery as
to what transpired.
To Captain Thompson and others who
became anxious at the continued absence
OF Mrs. woodIll, Roberts said that she had
come to Baltimore. He sought to allay the
fears OF the foster father by telling him
she would return in a few days.
Roberts came to Baltimore himself on
Tuesday and at that time a letter was
received by Captain Thompson, which
purported to be from Mrs. Woodill. 1t
was mailed in this city and said she would
be back home in a day or two.
Roberts returned to Mcdaniel, found
that the letter had been received and then
said, / told you So"
Mrs. Woodill was said to have a large
sum Of money with her and wore diamond
ornaments when she left home on Satur-
day.
