The president responded by smiling,
bowling and waving his hand to his

He greeted the committee of citizens
from the chamber of commerce and
board of aldermen and received from
the mayor in a few words the official
welcome to the city.
The ovation which President Roose-

through a portion of Virginia was con

The president visited the fair, which

NEWPORT, II. L., Oct. 81. Sheriff
James Anthony has asked the police Of
all the neighboring cities to help him
capture Henry Allison Jackson. He
says Jackson is the river pirate who,
with another man, fled from the sloop
Doroda, which Deputy Sheriffs De
Blois and Harvey have captured in
Nara gansett bay.
The Doroda was captured as the re-
suit of IA complaint made by Ferdinand

oflice that the sloop bad been seen go

her in the tug Solicitor, and as they
drew near the skipper warned them off
with a double barreled shotgun, which
he waved defantly.

they resumed the chase the occupants

series of robberies of the great summer

The hunt among the quantities of sill
yerware, handsome gowns, household
goods and pawn tickets for jewelry is
expected to lead to important clews in
connection with the mystery behind
the shooting of Mrs. Walter G. Morrill,
at her home in Greenwich, Conn, by a
burglar interrupted at his work and
also of the disappearance of the Bon

From the marks on the various sill

LITIGATION the police have gathered in
dubitable evidence that the Doroda
was used during the summer as a
cruising "fence" by burglars engaged
IN systematic robbery.
One singular discovery occurred in
the search of the yacht This was a
visiting card of Miss Olga Maxwell
who disappeared last July at the same
time as Midshipman Robert H. Jack
son Of the battleship Missouri
II has been learned that the yacht
left Atlantic City early in the season,
cruised along the coast under various
names assumed to avoid being fol

Long Island sound just at the time that
Nirvana, the Bonner home, was robbed
and when masked burglar broke into

The supposed owner of the Doroda is
Henry Allison Jackson of Taunton
Mass. Immediately after the boat was
seized a warrant for his arrest was is
sued.
The authorities searched the island
on which this city and Portsmouth are
located in an effort to find Jackson. but
were not successful. The officers think
that the man they want is somewhere
s.stween Portsmouth and the "old stone
bridge. nnhe bridge is guarded to pre-
