' Washington.—Recent speculation in regard tb President Taft’s intentioir as to another term In the white bouse ^d, sevOTal of his friends to declare there .wot ng truth in thf • reports that he was inclined to shrink .from further service in the position as chief executive.

Louisissa, Body of American Grrl Found on Beach at Naples. Naples.—The finding of the body of a beautiful young woman on the beach near here has given rise to the suspicion of murder. Apparently the woman died ^bout three days ago. The body was scantily clothed ind this has led the authorities to believe that probably she was the victim of crime. The body was identified by the pro prietor of the Hotel Castello as that of ’Miss Costella Reid, supposed to have been an American, who was a guest at the hotel. She was fair and tall with gray eyes and quite promi nent nose, and wore eyeglasses. The suDoosition that she came from the United States was strengthened when the police found letters addressed ta her from New York and St. Lcmis, as well as from Canada. Several of these apparently were love letters. For the last few months Miss Reid had spent her time^ variously at Lin- dau, Germany; Turin, Milan, Piza'and ISiana. She proceeded from the latter place to Naples and went to the Hotel Gastello. * *f’ ’ stop on sigual. * ‘s’ ’ Regular stop. For tickets and full information apply to « T xr W. CARTER, Ag’t. J,. H.
