CHASTITY Find of Virginia
Johnson, Servant of
Gus Crosby.
ONE ARM AND BOTH EYES HAD
BEEN EATEN AWAY BY CRABS
BODY HAD EVIDENTLY BEEN
IN THE WATER FOR THREE OR
FOUR DAYS, BUT Is NOT BAD.
LY DEcoMPoSEp-INv
TIoN is BEING MADE,

The nude body Of white infant, a
girl, between the age of three and
four months, with one arm and both
eyes eaten away by crabs, was the
ghastly find of Virginia Johnson, col
ored, on the Warrington beach yester-
day afternoon. The body had evident
ly been in the water for three or four
days, but was not badly decomposed.
The johnson woman, who is en-
ployed as a servant at the home of
GUS Crosby, was In the rear of his
home yesterday afternoon about $3.50
o'clock, when she saw an object being
tossed about on the beach. qt was
then in about one foot of water. When
she approached she found that It was
the body of child and securing gar
den rake pulled the body out Of the
water
WELL DEVELOPED CHILD.
That the child was at least three
months old when it met death is
shown by the well developed body and
the full head of black hair No marks
of violence were visible, SO far as
could be learned, but it's death is a
mystery which may be solved. That
the child met with foul play, the vic
tim of some heartless person, is the
belief of many at the yard.
The commandant at the navy yard,
who has jurisdiction over Warrington,
was Immediately notified of the find
ing of the body, and he requested
Coroner Nicholson to come out and
conduct an inquest over the remains.
This will be done this morning.
At present there is no clue, except
ing that a few days ago the command
er of the naval tug Accomac reported
that members Of the crew of that ves-
sci sighted the body of some person
when OF the city, but they thought it
was that of woman. it is possible
this is the same body, which has
been carried by the tide down to War
rington and cast up on the beach.
A rigid investigation will be con-
Quoted by the officers in the hope of
ascertaining the parents of the child.

the transportation of various clases
of freight, originating at Atlantic sea-

ings to the Missouri river cities.
The order was the result of CON-
plants filed by large number Of
individuals. partnerships and corpora
tions, as shippers. jobbers and whole
salers at Kansas City. St. Joseph and
Omaha. They claimed that the rates
were unjust, unreasonable and dis
criminatory and that they discrimin-
ated in favor of st. Paul and Mime

posed of the case by ordering a re-
duction of the charges for transpor-
tation from the Mississippi river
crossings to the Missouri river cities
as a part of the through rates. The
commission denied that the rates dis
criminated in favor of the Twin
Cities.
