ers to Send Their
Theories.

In kidnapping cases Of this kind
there is usually a motive; IL fact.
it is the first thing the police
Ieok for. Revenge, ransom,
money. or settlement of an estate
are the four possible motives for
such an act; yet, SO far as I
know, none of these is back of
the Marvin affair.
It is possible that the boy may
have wandered away of his own
accord and drowned in one Of the
large swamps for which the State
is famous. These are of such
vast area that It would be next

Thurston Of Nebraska, corporation law
yer and friend Of Senator Foraker. who
fought the rate bin. tonight fired the
opening gun Of the anti-Rooseveit
forces. He was joined by Mayor John
E. Reyburn. of Philadelphia, former
Congressman and personal friend OF
Senator'S PenrOse and Foraker. whose
Plea was for the elimination Of Ro5se-
welt and his choice. He declared that
this country has no policy"
There is unsettled. unsteady sengi-
ment in the Republican party" said
Dir. Thurston. that is seeking TO out
do even the socialistie program OF the
opposition. We cant have this any
more than socialism.
Then a moment later the former sen
atoT cried:
There should be no One-man policy
in the country"
Toward the close Of the sensational
speech. after averring that he IS not
a member Of the s5.o0o,eo0 anti-Roose-
xeit conspiracy club. he launched Sae
boom for Foraker.

said, expressed the idea that the vigor

Then the speaker began 10 FIRE the
anti-Roosevelt gun.

poles, and later these were dried up

Was little Horace Marvin kidnapped
or was he drowned?
Was he carried off by land OF by
water?
What was the object of the kid
napers? Was it the desire for
money, or the thirst for revenge?
Is the child now being held some
where near his home, or is he many
miles away?
These are the questions which
have been baffiing detectives and
everybody else since the four-year-
old child of DIR. Horace Marvin dis
appeared from his home near Dover,
Del, more than a month ago.
There has been no case in the an
mails Of kidnapping which has proved
so mysterious since the Charlie
Ross case, more than thirty years
ago
The Sunday Times asks IT'S readers TO
help TO solve this mystery. The Sunday
Times herewith presents all the known
facts in the case up TO Gate. Who can
supply the clue which viii lead to the
discovery OF the four-year-old boy?
When Horace Vanished.
DR.. Marvin recently bought the Bay
Meadows farm Of Charles WOOdalI. and
had paid $1,000 on it, the remaining
1880 to be paid April l. On the morn
ing of March 4 little Horace Marvin
was playing about a haystaek, not
more than 200 yards from the house in
which were his father, grandmother,
brothers. and sisters. His little cousin.
Rose Standish. was playing with him.
Charles W0odau and his man, Frank
Butler, were moving goods belonging to
WoOdaIl between the house and the
barns in the rear II was about 10
o'clock IN the forenoon.
Rose standish ran into the house to
get Rorace's brother. When she came
out of the house less than ten minutes
later and ran toward the haystack she
did not see Horace.
The two men were driving of, so she
called after them. Where is Horace %
but they did not hear her, and drove on.
Howard Standish, the grown half
brother Of the missing boy. then came
out Of the house and vent after the
men in the wagon. asking them If Hor-
ace had taken a ride with them: but
they said that he had not. Then the
search began. but only in a casual way
at first. as the family was not greatly
alarmed until its searches proved fruit
