SEARCH FOR A BABY
That is the Request of DR.. Marvin to the
PuhIic

I
Dover, DEL, March 2lst.-President
RooseyeIt's secret service men will have
employment tomorrow, if they return,
upon the Marvin case. They will be
put on the track OF some of the scores of
writers of strike letters, about the most
atrocious specimens ever unearthed.
This is the latest for the father Of the kid
mapped boy.
"Pay So, ,000or we will kill the boy"
Thus the life Of DR.. Horace Marvin, al
ready worried under the extreme sus-
pense OF a father whose boy has been
stolen from him by conspirators, is made
even more miserable.
Tonight, upon his arrival in Dover,
DR.. Marvin told OF receiving the above
note, written upon ragged and uneven
piece of brown paper and containing no
signature, no date and no names or ini-
tials, not even post Office box. He at
first thought he would endeavor to run
out the letter by its postmark, but this,
| too was indistinct, and he gave up the
| matter, tearing the letter up, believing
that it was the product of one of the
cranks who seek opportunities of this
kind to wreck injury without benefit to
themselves.
Dr. Marvin, while not fully revealing
the objects of his trip north, upon his
| return this evening, admitted that he had
been to examine the Chester boy supposed
to be his son.
'sOf course this was not my boy" said
| the distracted father tonight. "The
great trouble with the people OF the
country who are finding boys. in splen
did effort to aid me, is that they look for
big boy instead of baby. Horace was
but three and half years old and not q
| large baby at that. Simply look for q
little, retiring lightheaded baby" said
the doctor.
From DR.. Maryin's conversation TO-
night it is taken that he, unlike tile
/ Dover relatives OF Delaware Detective
Murphy, is in close touch with the Dover
sleuth. He manifested no uneasines:
over the alleged disappearance of Muir
ply, but on the contrary, said Murphy
will speak when he has something tc
say."
| DIR. Marvin's unexpected departure
from Dover night before last, after he hat
apparently retired for the night, is now
fully explained.
A mysterious letter writer had beer
throwing out catch letters that he haC
the boy, probably for the same obiec
that the other communication, sender
have, the desire to sell wrong boy, ant
DR., Marvin surprised him this morning
by walking into his kitchen before break
fast in city not far from Philadelphia
He found that it was not only the wrong
boy, but that the letter writer was tht
boys uncle. This has caused the demand
to President Roosevelt's secret servic'
men to cause arrests for using the mail
for the purpose of attempting TO defrauc
citizen.
The preponderance of opinion, in loca
loffic' al circles is that Horace Marvin j
still within riding distance of his home
is keeping tile Delaware detectives unde
Detective Hawkins still hard at work il
this neighborhood.

SENATOR DupoNTS KEYNOTE

cat the recent dinner given to
the Republican members OF the
Legislature at Dover by the
senior Senator, Colonel dupont
commented upon the situation
in Delaware politics to-day ana
struck the keynote of the cam
paign for next year. After a
long period of internal dlssen-
sions in the party, the Senator
recalled that all was now har-
mony, and it shall be the enort
of the leaders to maintain this
condition. The satisfactory Sit
uation, as Senator dupont well
said, was made possible only "by
the spirit of Cancellation when
actuated the Republicans of the
State"
"The importance and the signl-
ficance of the campaign next
year were dwelt upon, and none
too early, because the struggle
then will have a far-reachlng
effect upon the country at large
and it will be a momentous one
for Delaware. The prosperity
and generally good business con-
ditions throughout the country
must be maintained, which can
best be done by continuing the
policies of the party and OF the
present administration.
sFTo Delaware the election OF
1908 means much as the Senator
says, because the new governor
will have the appointing OF the
entire State judiciary, which is a
most important duty. There is,
therefore, need for organization
such as is proposed by the per
manent headquarters of the party
which may be established in this
city. With the Republicans
laboring in harmony, with the
disputes over the election of a
senator thing of the past, there
is no reason why the victories Of
the past should not be repeated
on even a larger scale. ."-EvemtnG
