} CLUE TO IDENTITY

An element Of mystery surrounds
the finding yesterday morning about
10 o'clock of the body OF young
white woman on the bank OF the
James river about half a mile above
the Bon Air bridge a, 'Westham.
The theory that tho woman came
to her death as the result of foul
play is amply suhstantiated by a
number of tell-talc evidences.
First. around her waist was a
looped wire. indicating that the body
had been weighted.
Second. one side OF the face bears
evidence 81 having been deal, a severe
blow. Part OF one side of the, nose is
crushed and one side of the face
shows a decided abrasion. as il caused
by blow. while the blood just be-
low the skin is coagulated. bearing
out the contention of the police that
the woman vas proba bly, fatally
struck, II Is possible. though that
the bruises may have been caused by
the head striking against projections
In the river as II foated down stream,
provided the body was not thrown
into the waters at the point where 1t
was found.
More Evidence OF Foul Play.
Third. the lungs were free Of water.
which eliminates. say the police. the
possibility that the woman met death
~ the result Of drowning.
Fourth. that part OF a black cloth
glove on the ring finger Of the wo-
mans left hand shows indications Of
having been forcibly torn away. to-
gether with piece OF the flesh OF the
ring ringer. and 1t is believed. ring.
II this was done by the person or
persons who placed the body where
1t was found. or who threw Il into
the stream ut some other point. then.
1t would appear, the motive was both
murder and robbery. On the other
hand. II 10 pointed out. the robbery. IL

to the Free Trade hall audience fol-
lows:
MY lord mayor. ladies and gentle.
men-perhays / may be permitted
to- add. fellow citizens: You have
made me feel in way that is deeply
delightful the generous welcome
which you have accorded me, an1
hack of il know there lies the sa ,ae
whom / have the privilege of repre-
sent;ng.
There is feeling of cordiaiity
fraternity and friendship between the
two great nations. and as ! have gone
from place to place and been made
everywhere to feel the pulse of sym
rathy that is now beating between us
! have been led to some very serious
though \ as To what the basis of IL
all is.
For / think you will agree with
me that friendship is not a mere SEN
timent Patriotism is not a mere
sentiment. 1t is based upon a prin.
ciple, upon the principle that leads
II man to give more than he demands
Similarly. friendship is based not
merely upon affection. but upon com
mon service. The man is not your
friend who Is not willing to serve you
and you are not his friend unless you
are willing to serve him. And out oil
that impulse Of common interest and
desire OF common service arises tina,
noble feeling which we consecrate as
friendahip.
Common Interest.
And so IL does seem to me tina,
the theme that we must have in our
mind now In this great day of set.
Element is the theme OF common in
terest and the determination of what
II Is that Is our common interest
You know that heretofore the world
has been governed, or & any rate the
attempt has been made to govern it.
by partnerships OF interest, and that
they have broken down.
Interest does not bind men to-
gether. Interest separates men For
the moment that Is the slightest de-
parturc from the nice adjustment OF
interests. then jealousies begin to
spring up. There In only one thinc
that can bind peoples together. and
that Is common devotion TO right.
Ever since the history of liberty
hogan we have talked about their
rights. and IL has taken several hun
dred years to make them perceive
that the principal condition of right
Is duty. and that unless man per-

no right. II Is . fine correlation oil
the influence OF duty that right is the
euuipoise and balance OF society.
And no when we analyxe the pres
ent situation and the future that we
now have to mold and control, II
seems to me there Is no other thought
than thar can guide us. You know
that the United states has alwayt
felt from. the very beginning Of her
history that she must keep herself
separate from any kind Of connec-
ton with European politics.
Il want to say very frankly to you
that she 10 not now interested In Eu-
