BOSTON MURDER MYSTERY
Body of Unidentified Young Woman Found in Snowbank at West Rox-
 bury this Morning.

Boston, Jan. % LP,-The body of . young woman, believed by the po- lice to have been murdered. was found in a field in the West Roxbury district today.
 Two boys, Louis Jesso and Earl Nickerson, who had been playing about the field, discovered the body. They ran home and told their par ents, who notified the police.
 Medical Examiner Leary hurried to the scene with officers. The body had the appearance of having been in the field for two or three days. There was no clue to the identity of the young woman, who was about 22 years old.
 Apparently snow had drifted over the body and had partly melted in the warm weather of the last day or two. The boys told the police that when they found the body there was a coat over the head.
 Blood was found on the ground twenty feet away. The field is in a S"ihlpN hiSNiItJ lltdI ille Ne" ton line
 A trail Of blood spots in the snow from Garden street to the ice on the swamp pool where the body was found led to the theory that the body had been brought in an auto- noble to the edge of the field and then carried to the pOcl.
 There was a wound on the left side of the head and bruise on the forehead, apparently caused by blows. Medical Examiner Lcary after viewing the body placed the woman's age at between 25 and SO years.
 The spring chain of wrist watch was found on the left wrist. but the watch could not be found. Near the body was a beaded bag contain ing a vanity case but nothing tc show the woman's name. She was well dressed.

BOY PROPERLY TREATED
 FOR HIS BROKEN ARM
Investigation By Humane Society Reveals No Basis for Charge
 Against Miss uAgostino

Miss Esther d'Agostino of Forest
 vile, whose brother, Gabriel, broke
 his arm recently while cranking an
 automobile, has issued a statement denying that the boy did not re-
 ceive proper medical treatment. The
 Herald has verified her statement
 by inquiry at the office of the Con-
 necticut Humane society, which sent
 an investigator, who reported that
 there was no substantiation of the
 charge. Miss Il Agostino is a teach
 CT at the Camp school in this city.
 Her explanation of the incident fol-
 lows:
 At 1:S0 o'clock Wednesday morn
 ing, January 12, I arrived in New Britain and went to the Camp school, where l am employed as q teacher. At about s o'clock my sis- ter, who teaches in Southington, was
 attempting to start her car. My brother, Gabriel, returned from the
 post office, gave my sister letter and offered to help her. In trying to crank the car he broke his fore arm. My sister immediately pulled at the arm and succeeded in caus- ing the bone to go back into place. She again tried to start the car so
 that she might be able to take him | quickly to doctor. Thinking that she would not be able to start the
 car quickly enough, the boy asked | Ragnar Larson Gan employe of the 1 Trinity Dye Works next door) to drive him to a doctor. He took him
 to the Bristol hospital.
 Later l was informed about the case. Our orders to the hospital were that they take an A-ray and | attend to the arm. l went to the hospital and was told that the bone had been partially set and that an i N-ray had been taken but that on Thursday it would be necessary to | give the boy gas and complete the
 setting.
 | "A talk with my brother in which
 he voiced extreme fear of taking gas caused me to deem it wiser to | take the boy home that evening, | quiet his fears, and return him to the hospital the next morning. The | hospital claimed that under such
 conditions, l would be obliged to | sign q release. l did so.
 1 Later l made an appointment
 with a New Britain doctor, so that i I could be satisfied that everything was all right, but he told me to 1 continue with treatments at the
 Bristol hospital.
 Therefore, on Friday morning an appointment for 9 o'clock was made with physician. His verdict was that the condition of the arm was | much better than he had expected ther setting. He also added that l the boy would have no further trou- | blo with the arm. The same morn- | ing Mr. Williams of the Connecti-
 cut Humane society called in For ! estville. At 11:S0 o'clock l tele-
 phoned to my home to ask what the | doctor had done. My brother gave me the doctors report. Mir. W.T.
 Hams then spoke to me. He said that he had found things very diff ferent from the report given him
 and that everything was as it should be. He also told the boy that it was
 mistake. Saturday morning I tele-
 phoned to the Connecticut Humane
 society and was told that they were very sorry that they had sent MT. Williams"

MESSIAH SUNG AT
 LUTHERAN CHURCH
Appreciatiye Audience Expresses
 Pleasure at Its Rendition

First Lutheran church was crowd ed to the doors last night at the first performance there of Handel's ora- torio masterpiece. The Messiah" by soloists, chorus of 100, string or chestra and piano, under the direc- tion of Per Olsson. The performance was surprisingly effective.
 The large chorus. composed soley of young people identified with the church. with the regular church choir as a nucleus, sang the re- sounding Handelian choruses with the parts were attacked and executed without blemish, and as the choruses are such notable part of this ora torio's classic greatness, the ability of the massed singers to contribute such thorough-going rendition went far toward making the event successful.
 In connection with the soloists one of those little things happens which try conductors souls. Mrs, Per Olsson. wife of the conductor, who was to have sung two soprano solos. contracted heavy cold and yester day this was at its peak, so that she could not sing a note. Arrangements were concluded with Mrs Howard F. Horton to substitute, and this sterling singer went into the per- formance without previous rehearsal and acquitted herself with glory. Under the circumstances it was re- markable tour de force.
 The other soloists were Mrs. Harry Christensen, soprano, Mill dred Swanson. alto, Charles J.. Stuhlman. tenor and John A. Lindsay, bass. These gave accept able performances and fully did their part to prove that such i'm portant works could be given pre- sentation entirely with local talent.
 The orchestra, with Herbert E.. Anderson as concertmaster, and in conjunction with the piano, played by Mrs. Lindsay, gave splendid sup port to the singers. The pastoral symphony. played by strings alone. was, as usual, enthusiastically re ceived.
 As a conductor Per Olsson held the large assem blaze of singers and instrumentalists well under control, It no doubt took much effort and will power to bring about this first performance Of the oratorio under chnrch auspices and without hay ing resource to outside singers, and to the dynamic organist and musi- cal director of the church goes much of the credit. The perform ance was beyond the expectations of even the most sanguine and no one was better pleased than Con- ductor Olsson himself
 Singing of the alto solo, 70 Thou That Tellcst the Tidings,' by all the altos in unison was regarded as an experiment, but was effective and successful.
 In a little speech the Rev. Dr. X. A. Ahlquist made note of the fact that this was merely a first performance of this oratorio in the church, giving the impression it would be performed oftener. The pastor also included a short state ment of the conditions under which the work was written in 22 dow, ap5 nf itc first pprfOrna n Dcp in Dublin, Ireland.
 With male chorus of 50 voices organized, ,a children's choir of 30 voices, and a three-day spring fes- tival of music in sight, Conductor Olsson is well en route toward making the First Lutheran church q musical leader in the city.--G. H.

Americans Fleeing

Washington, Jan. 22 (uP) - Americans were fleeing today from dozens of isolated mission posts to Chinese coast cities, where U. s. battleships wait to protect them or carry them to the Philippines and safety, if necessary.
 Officials here were alarmed over the anti-foreign riots sweeping China and took all precautionary measures to evacuate the 12,o00 Americans there in the emergency.
 American battleships and marines are prepared to use force to cover an evacuation. but it is realized that foreign guns unless discreetly used may enrage rather than frighten the Chinese mobs. In no case will American forces take sides in the internal military and political con- flict.
 With John Van A. MacMurray. American minister, ordered back to Picking to take charge of the situa- ton. and additional marines ordered from Guam to the Philippines as a reserve, other forces are waiting the call of Admiral Williams. Asiatic commander.
 28 U. S. Warships
 Twenty-six American war vessels are in Chinese waters or on the way there. Nearby, at Manila in the Philippines, IT more are under steam, ready to move northward on an hours notice. ....
 Abroad these ships. some of them up the Yangtze river in the interior of China. are 6,2S2 bluejackets and S10 marines. There is an additional reserve of 526 marines in other Asisatic ports, and 900 U. s. army troops standing regular guard over the railroad which runs from Peklng to the sea. At Picking there is a legation guard of more than 100 marines.
 Consular reports today continued to picture the trek of missionaries from the interior to the coast, though many are heroically staying at their posts.
 Most of the American women and children have already been evacuat- ed from such cities as Hankow. Foo chow. Annoy and Kiukiang. Some have gone to the Philippines but most Of these refugees are in or en route to Shanghai to join the 4,o00 permanent American residents there. Danger In Shanghai Fear is now expressed for the safety of Americans in Shanghai. Even in the foreign quarter of that port, there are only 30,00o foreign CTS against eoo,Ooo natives. If the anti-foreign riots should spread among those eo0.oOo natives. defense would be impossible and immediate evacuation essential.
 In such an emergency commercial ships would be commandeered for transport, with marines and blue jackets covering the flight of the re- fugees. from the city.
