MAY BE WASHINGTONIAN. Woman Found Dead In Los Angeles May Be Resident of Capital. It is belleved that the woman who was mysteriously murdered in a vacant house in Los Angeles, on May 9, was at one time a resident of Washington. This theory has been advanced by Charles Thompson, of Los Angeles, who is stopping in this city at 453 Street Northwest, with his wife. Mr.

Thompson is the proprietor of boarding house at 940 South Hope Street, Los Angeles, where the murdered woman and her husband stopped for two weeks. He said yesterday that the husband of the murdered woman, who gave his name as Mr. Dillon, of Chicago, spoke frequently of Washington, and appeared to be well acquainted with the city. Mrs. Dillon also talked about this city.

The Los Angeles police have been unable to locate Dillon since the murder. WEATHER CONDITIONS. D. 8. Dept, of Agriculture, Weather Bureau.

N. Washington, D. C. Marine Reindicted by Grand Jury on Charge of Robbing Medium. PART OF LOOT IS RECOVERED John B.

Sturdevant, the marine who figured in the charges made by Harry Hogentogler, the nineteen-year-old soldier, who attempted suicide at the home of Miss Ida Todd, of 25. Street Northwest, on the night of May 9, was arrested again last night after the police recovered part of the loot he is alleged to have stolen from Alfred H. Terry, 8 medium, of 131 Street Northeast, on March 18 last. Sturdevant was acquitted of the charges preferred by Terry on his first complaint, because of a lack of evidence, but he has been kept under surveillance by the police, who were positive that he had hidden the loot in a secluded place. When Hogentogler declared in his "farewell" letter that he had been hounded by a member of his company because he knew where the loot was hidden, the police were stirred to renewed activity.

Gold Ring Recovered. A gold signet ring was recovered from its hiding place under the flooring of the laundry at the Washington Barracks Jast Sunday by: Detectives Vermillion and MacNamee. Sturdevant was again taken into custody, the grand jury having reindicted him yesterday morning. Hogentogler's charges against Sturdevant were sensational. He asserted that Sturdevant had confided in him to the extent of telling him that the Jewelry he is alleged to have taken from Terry was buried in back of the stables at the Washington Barracks.

Hogentogler's charges, which were embodied in a farewell to his relatives, recite that Sturdevant came to him the day before his (Hogentogler's) attempted suicide and accused him of taking the jewelry. According to Hogentogler, who is still in the Emergency Hospital in a precarious condition, Sturdevant threatened to kill him with twenty-four hours if the jewelry was not returned. This frightened the youth 50 much that he decided to kill himself, he told the hospital authorities and the police. Hogentogler May Testify. Hogentogler, if his condition warrants his appearance, will be called upon to testify at Sturdevant's trial, and the recital of the nineteen-year-old soldier promises to savor of the sensational.

Sturdevant stolidly maintains his innocence, declaring he is the victim of "job," but the police are confident they have procured strong evidence against him. If Sturdevant is acquitted the charge of robbery, Hogentogler probably will prefer charges of threats. signet ring is valued at only $10. There is still missing a watch valued at $80, a stickpin, $70, and a diamond ring, $200. OFF TO WED NAVAL OFFICERS.

Two Washington Girls Leave for California To-day. Miss Olive India Lewis, of 123 Adams Street Northwest, and Miss Ruth Field, 1934 Calvert Street Northwest, will leave to-day for California, where they will become the brides of Paymaster Arthur Middleton and Ensign Edward Guthrie, of the U. S. S. Yorktown, respectively.

The young women will be accompanied on the trip by H. W. Marshall, with whom Miss Lewis has been making her home in this city. It was only recently that the two young men learned they each had a sweetheart in Washington. They arranged that through letters of introduction Miss Lewis and Miss Field should meet each other, which they did.

Developments in Mexico within the past few weeks have made it impossible for Middleton and Guthrie to come to this city to claim their brides, and rather than have an indefinite postponement, they decided to ask their sweethearts to cross the continent and have the knot tied at San Diego, Cal. INTERHIGH MEET TO-DAY. Annual Field Games to Be Held at College Park. Technical, Central, and Western will participate in the annual interhigh field and track games, to be held this afternoon at College Park. Eastern and Business failed to enter men in any of the events.

The Streeters have entries in every event, and are expected to. have a walkover, as Tech has lost several of the stars who scored points in the meet last year, and Western is sending a group of inexperienced men, who are not expected to show much against the Central and Tech athletes.

The match to-day will be between teams representing the Columbia Club and the Chevy Chase Club.

Six sets will be played in singles, and three in doubles, making a possible nine points. Chevy Chase will present J. Upshur Moorehead, Lee McClung, E. P. Grosvernor, Ralph W.

Hard Road for "Joy Riders." The lot of the "Joy riders" will be hard in the future if the United States Attorney's office has its way. It is the purpose of Assistant United States Attorney Given to make the charge for such an offense in the future grand larceny instead of taking property without the consent of the owner. As an example, two men were called upon to give bonds in the United States branch of the Police Court yesterday. They are George Davis and George Banks, alleged "Joy riders," and the charge against them is grand larceny. BIRTH RECORD.

H. Dalgleish, contralto, and Miss Roberta Allen, violinist. Miss McFall's beautiful high voice was heard in the sextet from "Lucia," and She scored with her. lovely high tones of startling clearness and ease, and Mr. Schaefer with his glorious bass.

Miss McFall was also heard in the "Valentine's Death Scene." which was exceedingly well done. Mrs. Dalgleish sang a group of songs, Including Gilchrist's "Heart's H. Lane Wilson's "Pretty Creature." and Weatherly's "The Bee and the She was accompanied by Howard Wood, pianist. Miss Allen played delightfully the meditation from "Thais," and the berceuse from "Jocelyn" with beautiful tone.

She was skilfully accompanied by Miss Mildred Kolb, pianist. Miss Kolb and Miss Mildred Harrison divided the work of accompanying the concerted members. The duo from "Il by Miss Carroll and Mr. Wolfungen was spoiled by the tempo, which was more like a funeral march than it is ever sung in the opera. Dancing followed the concert.
