For several days numbers of large logs
have been drifting up and down the river
with the tides in the channel, in position
to do the wheels of the vessel striking
them much damage and to sink the small

them. Yesterday afternoon one of these
snags, a piece of timber fully sixteen
feet long and sixteen inches in diameter
and showing only a few inches above
the water, was seen in the river OF Alex

eight other logs forming heavy mass
large enough to sink a small vessel. A
boatman from Alexandria. seeing the logs,

small rowboat, but the task was too
much and he had to give it up 4 power

WAS ACTING FOR HIS MOTHER.
Explanation Of Incident in Which
Robert Marmion Participated.

Mrs. Beatrice Paul Marmion. widow Of
DR.. Robert A. Marmion, has written let
ter explaining the incident in connection
with her valuable diamond ring which she
recently reported missing from her apart
ment at the Portner. and which was found
in possession of her son. Her letter Is as
follows:
To the Editor Of The Star:
"At hour when I am in distress over
the sudden death Of my husband, the late
Medical Director r. A. Marmion, and an
other relative in Col. Paul Beckwith, I
must make a mothers protest and beg that
you relieve my siXteen-year-old boy of an
unjust criticism which appeared in your
paper last evening. My boy Robert had
been requested by me to dispose of the ring
which the officer found him with, to re-
lieve my situation, when my small estate is
tied up by the courts, but refrained from
telling me that he had taken the ring for
that purpose. to avoid adding further dis
tress and humiliation to a sick mother A
pay to my support and who made simple
error, and committed no wrong-promptly
giving his name and purpose to the de-
tective.
Please do him and his mother the favor
of this explanation, and in as conspicuous
manner. as your criticism.
Respectfully yours,
"BEATRICE PAUL MARMION."
The young man, it is explained, was
merely acting for his mother when he called
upon local dealer with the ring the trou-
BILE having been caused by his effort to
against the boy when he accompanied the
detectives to- police headquarters, and the
detectives were fully satisfied with the ex-
PLANTATION made.

ARREST ON SUSPICION
CoLoRED MAN HELD IN THE JAIL
AT ROCKVILLE, MD.
Thought That He May Be Connected
With Shooting and Robbery Of
Charles L. Souder.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.

special Correspondence OF The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md. July 5. 1907.
Frederick Jackson, colored, a resident of
Emory Grove. Is in Jail here on suspicion
of being connected with the shooting and
robbery Of Charles L. Seuder of Dovesville,
Va, while near Redland. this county.
Wednesday afternoon but there is believed
to be little doubt that, he is innocent Of
the charge. He was arrested yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Small and taken before Mr..
Souder at Redland, but the latter could
not identify him his assailant; neither
could the young mans grandmother Mrs
Catharine Souder, who was with Mr.. Sou
der when he was shot. Jackson claims that
he can establish an alibi, and State At
torney Peter is of The opinion that he will
be able to do so.
II is believed that the man at whom DR..
George E. Cook shot, near Olney. the even
Ing or the crime, is the guilty party. He
Is also thought to be the same man who
terday morning for Deputy Sheriff Quinter.
That one or more of the bullets sent after
him took effect there is little doubt, as a
trail of blood was discovered in the direc-
ton he took. The culrrit is believed to be
making his way to Washington Deputy
Sheriff Mullican, who is leading the
search is Of the opinion that the desperate
may be dead, as the trails of blood discov-
cred show that he must have been badly
wounded. The search for the fugitive was
continued today, principally by Deputy
Sheriffs Mullican and Quinter and a num-
Der of deputies.
Difference of Opinion.
Opinions differ as to who committed the
crime. 1t was at first given out that the
man was a stranger to the Redland neigh
borhood, and that idea is still adhered to
by most of those interesting themselves In
the case. One officer, however. stated to-
day that he Is Of the opinion that when the
man wanted is captured he will prove to
be a resident of the Redland section and
young Souder's plans, and possibly whether
or not he carried money.
While the attack upon young Souder has
aroused the greatest Indignation through
out the county, and it is equally true that
considerable feeling against the perpetrator
exists, there is believed to be little founda-
ton for the sensational statements that the
capture Of the guilty man will be followed
by a lynching. 1t IS known that no plans
for such summary vengeance have been
formed, and those most interested in the
case assert that the possibility Of a lynch
ing Is remote.
The condition of young Souder continues
grave, but 1t is understood that DR.. Elisha
Z. Etchison, who Is attending him. consid-
ers that he has a chance of recovery. 1t
was at first feared that peritonitis might
develop, but it Is stated that the intestines
were not punctured and that has given rise
to hope. The wounded man had one seri-
GUS sinking spell, and 1t was thought that
his end was near. but he rallied and has
since held his own.

Several hundred small boys gathered at
the new bathing beach yesterday for the
Fourth of July plunge, but contrary to
expectations, they were disappointed on
account of the unfinished condition of the
improvements. They were coming in
squads of twos and twenties," said a
visitor to the beach when speaking of his
visit of yesterday. The reason Tor the

statement emanating from the Office of
Commissioner West that the beach would
be ready upon the Fourth. 1t is stated
that probably ten days will elapse before
